This article has explored how gender is representing in pony universe — from brushing pony manes and posing pony figures to deeper levels of sexualized modeling and fannish cultures. Together, these aspects show that toys are not simply toys — they help shape how we see ourselves and the world surrounding us.
At the same time, we also witness that the things are changing. The rigid line between "boy" and "girl" play is fading now. With toxic masculinity no longer fashionable, more men and boys feel it's just fine to be tender, and be passionate about figures and aesthetics that once were considered to be "feminine." The pony world, which is full of contradictions, is becomes a mirror — not only about gender stereotypes, but our shifting hopes for the future.
