Thread 42370931

Where does the misconception that Dashie is stupid come from? She is a smart pony. No stupider than other members of the mane 6

It's classic jocks are stupid stereotype

>>42370931 (OP)
Maybe the episode where she's too stupid to sit still for five minutes and learn basic facts about the Wonderbolts.

>>42370931 (OP)
They made her retarded and she needed immense help to study for a Wonderbolts history test, something she was allegedly passionate about.

>>42370931 (OP)
she has adhd and ppl with adhd are usually stupider than average

She just learns differently

She's a birdbrain.

rain bowdash is STUPIT

>>42370931 (OP)
She has her moments

>>42370931 (OP)
Besides maybe having a short attention span she's not actually stupid, she's just oversocialized into her self-image as an archetypal 'dumb jock.' She's just insecure.

>>42370931 (OP)
shes a fried egghead

>>42370942
This. She's less capable of self learning than the others are and is repeatedly shown to be very low time values. Of the mane 6, she's close to the bottom of intelligence ranking, no matter what cope RD fags come up with.

>"M-muh insecurity!"
I swear dashfags use 'insecurity' as a defense for literally anything Dash does.

I was genuinely surprised Rainbow could read in the Daring Do episode.

>>42371339
She has to read aloud, that's not just a convenience for the sake of the audience.

*High-time preference
Retard.

>>42371301
That's called adhd

>>42371414
Still stupid.

>>42370944
>something she was allegedly passionate about.
Being passionate about something doesn't make you better at studying. Some people just don't have the attention span to do it. It doesn't mean they are stupid, they just need different approach to learning.

>>42371454
She was able to learn Daring-Do lore just fine by reading books. Why can't she do the same with the Wonderbolts? She DOES have the attention span.

>>42370931 (OP)
She is canonically retarded
Spoilered for those who haven't watched the movie

>>42371479
Learning is different from enjoying a good story. Studying requires memorizing specific topics and aspects even if you don't really care about and be under pressure just to get a good grade by some idiotic teacher.

>>42371514
But she loves the Wonderbolts, she's been obsessed with them longer than She's been obsessed with Daring Do, so why is she incapable of memorizing things about the Wonderbolts, but she can do it just fine with Daring Do? If Dash has a learning disability, it effects everything she does, it won't just turn itself off for one thing.

If Rainbow Dash has a learning disability so severe that she is incapable of learning a 5 minute history lesson without the aid of an entire town, then shouldn't that make her ineligible for joining the Wonderbolts? If you're disabled to that degree, I'm pretty sure that limits your career options.

>>42371527
Maybe she doesn't really care about the wonderbolts, but rather just being part of the wonderbolts. Or simply she's really just insecure and isn't able to focus studying under pressure.

>>42371577
>Maybe she doesn't really care about the wonderbolts, but rather just being part of the wonderbolts
Isn't that worse though? She's not stupid, she's just a narcissist who only cares about them because she sees them as an easy path to glory and fame. That makes her look even worse than being stupid does.
>Or simply she's really just insecure
Now you're just coping.
>isn't able to focus studying under pressure.
She wasn't under any pressure before the episode, and the entire first quarter had her brushing it off as not a big deal until Twilight convinced her it was.
Dash isn't insecure, stop using it as a defense to brush off all of her shitty traits.

>>42371616
Ok anon, maybe she's not the brightest pony or the most humble but looks like you're just dedicated to make her dirty.

I bet Dash is smarter than 90% of this board's userbase

>>42371648
Hey man, you're the one who gave her not actually caring about the Wonderbolts as a possibility, not me. It's not my fault if Dash's actions and the subsequent implications of them make her look awful. Just like that gif. If someone comes around trying to help people, Dash will get angry and resentful because it isn't her getting all the praise and adoration.

>>42371695
She sometimes isn't aware of her actions. Just like the episode about saving ponies and she got blinded by fame. She got so full of herself that her friends had to taught her a lesson. She just needs some help, it's just part of her character.

>>42370996
RLC illustrated her retardedness perfectly

/mlp/ never beating the accusations of media illiteracy

>>42371771
Rainbow Dash has flaws but being stupid is not one of them. It's lies and slander.

>>42371771
>It's another "Dashfags can't handle people not whitewashing Dashies's personality into something not shit" thread
FIFY.

>>42371788
Rainbow Dash has flaws but being stupid is not one of them. Because being retarded makes her cuter.

>>42370931 (OP)
Because studying for a test was invented by the chinese and it's gay as fuck.

>>42371301
If she is so stupid how come i am her housestallion and do all her household chores

I was going to type up my thoughts on my wife's childhood friend and her role in the M6 but then I remembered that I tend to ramble and even if I didn't you anons won't gain anything from hearing my thoughts on the subject itt so instead i just post a nice photo of my wife and dashie.

>>42370931 (OP)
Because autistic normies cannot think outside of the boxes of flanderized cartoon tropes.

It's not a misconception. Her, Pinkie, and Flutters are the dumbest of the group.

>>42370931 (OP)
She isn't stupid so much as impulsive and prideful. A combination that can make you do pretty stupid things, even if you're reasonably intelligent.

>>42371947
Our wives are so cute together.

>>42371306
This.
>>42371301
This also.

>>42371904
Because you're a beta cuck.
