Oh the... Humanity?

[Sgt Muffin]

I was writing the other day, and I came to a part in my story where I needed to comment on how one pony had no Humanity... but that doesn't work because Humanity is a word that only applies to humans, so what would ponies use?
In the end I had to scrap my sentence and change it so that the main word was Empathy instead, I would have rather used Humanity or the pony equivalent though.

So, I beseech you, is there a pony version of the word Humanity?

Yup, I've hit that one too.
Depending on situation -
morals
compassion
or the use of a sentence to spell it out-
consideration for other members of ponykind

hi hi

Equinity is one of the more common replacements I think.

[Sgt Muffin]

Yeah, but that is a made up word so not many people would understand it. I think I shall have to get by with Empathy.

IMO it's really easy to understand, given that most people know that "equine" means, in lack of a better description, "horse-y" ^^

[Sgt Muffin]

Equinity looks a little like a misspelling of Equality. I don't know, maybe you're right, but I'm still going to go with other words.

hi hi

I like Equinity, it has that sort of flourish like when Trixie boasts about being "the greatest equine that ever lived," which is perfect for dramatic prose. But there's plenty of different dialects and accents out there. No reason somepony couldn't use something else too.
