☼ Pony society ruled for generations through monarchs chosen from their own ponies, not the other way around. Those Princesses were chosen /by ponies/ by the culture of their own rituals, not by force. Before I was a Princess, I was only a mere Alicorn, walking the continent with my sister across the land and learning of friendship of harmony. There was no royalty nor nation I was born into.
Please stop assuming the knowledge of a species you have no familiarity with. It is deeply unbecoming, offensive, and unnecessarily hostile. ☼
