Talk:Princess Cadance/@comment-2170890-20120521135442

A lot of bronies were annoyed at the fact that Cadance got made into an alicorn when she was initially planned to be one of the other types of ponies (which one? I'm guessing a unicorn based on how she uses magic). While I agree that is was somewhat a shame that they rewrote some of Lauren's stories without asking her, it didn't annoy me that much. It kind of got tiresome seeing the fans complain that is only possible for Luna and Celestia to be alicorns, at no point is that ever stated in the show (though I do think that alicorns are the rarist type of pony). The funny thing is, it's actually our own fault that Cadance became an alicorn.

Everytime a someone makes an OC alicorn, fans complain saying only princesses are alicorns (not specifically stated by the show). It is obvious from certain episodes, that while children are the main target audience, closley followed by previous gen fans, Hasbro know that bronies exist by now, and want to occasionally put something in for us too. Someone at Hasbro probably noticed all "Alicornn = Princess" comments, and took it to mean the reverse as well. Hence Cadance, another princess, was made into an Alicorn to apease us. So, we changed the character without meaning to. Oh dear...
