Cadence neither an alicorn, nor a princess.

Anon, Aryanne, Milky Way, Tracy Cage, etc. are worthless relics that only degrade MLP discourse and OC. Any value they once might of had are gone and the only people still clinging to them are incels in their 30s or 40s who forgot to grow up and replace family with using token maymays in an attempt to fit in with other 4channers.

Equestria is a federation of autonomous communities similar to what Holy Roman Empire was.
Also ponies are monotheistic and don't worship the princesses as if they were Japanese emperors or something.

Only EqG threads and few other threads are worth checking nowdays. Every pony thread is filled with constant bickering, politics and rage. EqG threads are super chill and people remember that they came here to have fun.

Actually unpopular opinions INC.
>Wonderbolts Acedemny is the most OOC Rainbow Dash Episode
>Applejack had the most character development of anyone in the mane 6
>Rarity episodes are only considered the best because most of them either downplay or outright ignore her worst traits
>More than half of the mane 6 are mary sues
>Most of the mane 6 do a a shit job of representing their element, only Pinkie and Applejack are alright
>Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo have the most forced, shoehorned dynamic in the show
>Scootaloo would have a better and more interesting relationship with Applejack than she does with Rainbow Dash
>Most of the mane 6 are actually shitty friends
>Pinkie has a very shallow idea of friendship
>Most self-insert HiExPony story actually have a more believable and more well written romance than most shipfag stories do
And lastly, Applejack absolutely does not cry on the inside. Despite what Pinkie Pie says in ONE episode, I'm pretty sure AJ actually sheds tears on screen more than any other pony. I hate how this one line from Pinkie Pie has gaslight everyone into believing Applejack is super stoic and vulcan despite the fact she's actually one of the most emotionally expressive of the mane 6.

>>42441117
>>Rarity is the worst Mane 6, in my opinion. In hindsight she's basically a breadtuber with shitloads of cash using their generosity to make herself look better
This, desu. Most of the fanbase and the series itself always glaze over her and only acknowledge her flaws in so far as they make her cute and relatable, while completely ignoring the actually serious flaws she never gets called out for. Rarity is an incredibly unlikable individual if you objectively look at how she regularly acts. While I don't think she's worse than Rainbow Dash, she's not that far behind, and is definitely worse than most give her credit for.

>>42441150
>>More than half of the mane 6 are mary sues

Twilight and Appul. Ponk has too many episodes where she's absolutely in the right for me. Despite what many people feel, I actually think the show actually does a pretty good job of having Twilight be in the wrong and having room to grow. Important note, I'm only talking about(and care about) unicorn Twilight, I don't even bother with alicorn Twilight due to how much of a cluster fuck it is.

Big yes
>>Princess Twilight
I think princesshood and alicornhood should be separated.
As the princess title goes, wasn't Lauren herself planned Twily to become Sunbutt's successor? Who in the right mind would have any problem with that?

The problem isn't that Twilight become an alicorn. It's a good thing she's one, but the execution of the idea is flawed.
My personal favorite is she would be powered up to alicorn power level at the >>42440776 when she absorbed other princesses magic. At first it could serve as some kind temporary super mode to let the audience take it gradually as the show goes, instead of becoming base breaking point.

If the first thing you think about when seeing teats/crotchboobs is balls, then you are probably gay.

>>42441716
>It's a good thing she's one
No it's fucking not. Alicornhood was very special thing, and should had been reserved only for godlike, perpetual figures who do such measly job as rising the sun and such. It was so special that in early fandom all alicorn OC's were hated, gatekept and bullied away, except for Fausticorn. And then they flushed all that down into toilet because they needed very special and pretty pink pony princess.

>they flushed all that down into toilet
I didn't like it either.

That's why i called the execution flawed, but perhaps that was understatement from my side.
With the right circumstances, turning into alicorn could be pulled off properly, and we saw already that these circumstanced were already presented in the show.
Two alicorn princesses pumping all of their magic into one magically gifted unicorn was pretty special, and it could easily qualify for a grand event, especially if you take into account the epic fight after it.

As for Cadance, until something similar would be presented in the show for her, i have no idea how it could be done right. It was dumb idea to make her an alicorn.

>>42442060
>Two alicorn princesses pumping all of their magic into one magically gifted unicorn was pretty special
I give G5 one thing, and that 'magical alicornification' they did to Sunny was good idea and that kind of powerup for Twilight would've been much better than whatever shit we ended up with.

>>42439903 (OP)
FiM the show and its spin-off EqG should've been more like Totally Spies and included way more """fetishes""" whatever the fuck this means in the?current tear of 2025.

Its controversial on the nu internet because everyone thinks their entitled to invade and offer their two cents to every topic, fandom or niche corner of the internet. Faggots and trannoids now make up nerd tabletop fandoms. Negroids and jeets now make up a majority of gamers. Women now think they're nerds because they watched a 500 million dollar tax write off called Avengers 6: This Time its Personal. There are no real gates anymore, everything is accessible which has destroyed all discourse and individuality.

>>42439903 (OP)
Rainbow Dash's personality is absolutely godawful, and the only reason so many people give her a pass is because she's the element of loyalty, even though she isn't even that loyal either. But since most normies are incredibly shallow, they just look at her title and immediately assume she's amazing because she's the element of loyalty. If she had any other element, she wouldn't be anywhere near as popular as she was.

Mare-Do-Well and 28 Pranks Later are both perfectly fine episodes and the only reason they have such negative reputations is because Dashfags are allergic to the idea of Rainbow suffering any degree of consequences for anything she does.

>>42439903 (OP)
Pony Life is superior to S2-S9 simply by being different. ;)


>>42444466
>>42444389
People like Dash the same way people like Rarity, the problem is the writers had a hateboner for Dash and kept showing all her flaws front and center in a bad light without any pros.
Rarity after S1 kept getting nothing but pros and her flaws kept getting hidden.

Also fuck you if you can't enjoy Dash then you're not loyal yourself. :^) despite AJ being loyal and Dash being honest.

>>42441150
One more that I forgot to list here.
>Applejack did nothing wrong in Non-Compete Clause. She was actively prioritizing the safety of the students and tying to make sure they didn't get hurt.

>>42444537
There's a difference between gynophobia and gynoequiphobia. Hating the majority of women is justified, hating mares makes you a complete fucking faggot.

>>42444537
It’s a “red flag” to not like a character who is constantly shown to be a judgmental mean girl slut who thinks she’s better than everybody else? Just say you have a cuck fetish and move on

Colgate is an awful and uncreative name.

>>42444994
We get it dude you were bullied in school.

>>42444994
I assume that's Rarity you're referring to. Yes, huge red flag for a guy to hate her. And she's not a slut. Literally the only mane six member to retain her chastity throughout the entire show. She occassionally swoons over a handsome stranger, but she never actually goes all the way.

>>42445114
>you knew I was referring to rarity
kind of proves that you know everything i said about her is true
“She occasionally swoons over a handsome stranger” No. She’s constantly shown to only care about status and looks when trying to find her “true love” that she wants so badly. “She wasn’t specifically going after high status ponies she found attractive, the ones she went after just happened to fit into those categories” Wrong. When she talked to her friends about how great they (blueboood, trenderhoof) were and why they were perfect for her, all she could talk about was how they were super handsome and high status ponies. She didn’t even care about the content of their character or whether their personalities aligned with hers. Shes literally the textbook definition of a gold digging slut

>>42445163
It's okay man, school was a long time ago. You don't have to lash out online because you were bullied in special ed.

>>42445163
>kind of proves that you know everything i said about her is true
Nice try, but it only proves that I'm aware of the common criticisms of her. You being so desperate for a gotcha is a common symptom of Rarity derangement syndrome.

And yes, Rarity definitely has a case of hypergamy going for her, which is common in women. Rarity is probably the most overtly feminine of the mane six, bordering on an endearing charicature of femininity. This is a large reason why hating her as a guy is such a red flag and why I said Rarity haters have latent gynophobia. Women are usually hypergamous, they want strong, capable, charming, accomplished, handsome men. Acknowledging this and still appreciating women for who they are is the stoic and healthy response as a man. Reacting to female nature with bitterness and hatred is degenerate and a red flag.

>>42444484
This unfair dynamic has been present ever since Fall Weather Friends, and the nu-writers copied their homework. Rainbow Dash is the one who abuses a loophole in tug-of war, and then tricks Applejack into opening her mouth just to call out her bullshit. Both think they were tripped during the race, but unlike AJ, RD is the one who disbelieves Twilight explaining the accident, again starting with the dirty tricks. Then when both lose for Twi's big smug lesson time, AJ is the first to apologize. Not a word from RD about not believing the integrity of Twi or AJ, just agreement that they were both poor sports.

>>42445196
So, what you’re saying is that you’re a hypergamous foid who thinks anyone who doesn’t like Rarity is a red flag because you can’t handle characters being called out for flaws you also have? Got it.

>>42445196
I hate women and like Rarity so your argument is invalid

>>42445510
Keep typing puppet. Your musings are entertaining to me.

>>42445310
Yea. I guess you could call this another unpopular opinion, but I think Fall Weather Friends is just as bad as Non-Compete Clause for the same reasons. They're both episodes where the central conflict is 'Rainbow Dash is a shitty friend and it's also Applejack's fault for some reason'. Applejack denigrates herself and apologizes for the horrible crime of daring to be upset about one of her 'best friends' treating her like shit and retaliating against it, while Rainbow is let completely off the hook and never has to make amends with the ponies she let down or for not having faith in either of her friends. And she didn't even learn anything either, as she would continue to become overly defensive and bitter whenever her ego feels threatened in future episodes.
This is actually a problem I've noticed in a lot of episodes about Applejack and another pony. LBYS kind of has the same problem, though a little less severe. For more or less the whole episode, Rarity is the one constantly instigating fights with her attitude problem, even after she talked about having a truce(which she used as an opportunity to throw shade at Applejack's character), she just immediately turns around and starts ribbing Applejack again right after they agreed to stop. And at the end of it all, Applejack is both the first, and the only one to apologize. And she still doesn't want to help move the tree in Twilight's house until AJ practically begs her to.
I think this stuff might be the primary contributing factors to why people think AJ is dumb. She's actually a lot more reasonable and smart when you just stop blaming her for the stupidity of the others.

>>42445374
QED, a textbook demonstration of latent gynophobia. Not a woman, btw, but that should be obvious to anyone who has ever met one in the wild.

>>42445393
One can hate women and like Rarity, but one cannot hate Rarity and like women. The mares represent idealized femininity, hence real women could potentially not measure up to their standard.

Let me tell you something pal. Let me tell you something very important. Listen carefully so you can understand how bad your judgement was right now.
But to make my message REALLY get to you, we need to discuss something else first. It will seem like it got nothing to do with you, me, or this very thing you have done. But i assure you - it does, and does big time.
Right here and right now we simply need to talk.

We need to talk about BUTT.

As a young boy, nobody took it seriously. I was mostly just a source of cheap jokes, vulgar, infantile laughter and mockery. "NA NA NANA NA, smelly ass hahaha! Farting! LOL" and so on. It was childish, immature and stupid, true. Nothing to be proud of really, but come on! Everyone was just a kid, right? Great majority of adults, be it parents, neighbors, teachers and so on could scold us a little bit for it, but generally they didn't made big fuss about it. It was kinda half-allowed because they knew that we're not going to stay kids forever. Just give the kids few years, and they'll grow out of it, right? GOD DAMN RIGHT.

Indeed, few years have already passed, and you're in the middle of your metamorphosis.You're not a kid anymore, you are a TEENAGER. One of the many changes happening during that time, is your point of view on certain things. One of those things is BUTT. Girls in your class have it. This hot math teacher have it, Random leggins-wearing, booty-shaking, suddenly-bending-over-because-something-is-on-the-lowest-shelf woman in front of you in the store have it. You've noticed that you suddenly like it, you want it, need it. You gonna FUCK it. What you wouldn't give to Veronica just to put your dynamite stick between these b... uh, and so on. This horny teenager stereotype didn't appear out of nowhere, you know?

Yet again, this state also did not last forever. Another stage of life must come to the end, just to make room for another stage to begin. You're adult. You've made choices, took chances and risks, made mistakes and gained experiences. With new responsibilities comes new skills and perks. You know your limits and tastes. Now you know what kind of BUTT you like the most. Since you're no longer victim of raging hormones, you can judge and evaluate any BUTT you'll come in contact with by your own set of criteria. In other words, you've mastered THE BUTT.

Now, with all that said, here comes that important lesson:
You need to mature and grow up to see the real worth of the matter. Just like the butt.
Important values require experience and time to be grasped in it's full glory. Just like the butt
Things that appear worthless and laughable at first, might prove to be invaluable and fabulous, only if you won't let yourself be taken by your lowest desires. Just like the butt

Rarity is THE BUTT.

Ever since I first watched FWF and Mare Do Well, I developed the idea that the fanbase often blamed the worst of RD's actions on the other characters so as to not make her look as bad. I long held the suspicion that the same would be true of NCC, and that I'd find out -- much like in FWF -- that AJ doesn't actually do anything wrong and instead gets blame levied on her just to dance around RD's flaws yet again. Low and behold, when I finally decided to bite the bullet and confirm if my hypothesis was true or not, and that was exactly the case. NCC really was the final straw that made me accept that both the show and fanbase as a whole have a huge double standard in what it allows RD to get away with. RD gets let off the hook regardless of what she does, and AJ gets punished for RD's bad behavior. AJ is in a no win situation in both FWF and NCC. No matter what she does, she's just fucked. She's treated as equally guilty simply for getting fed up with RD's actions, because being upset about someone cheating and screwing you over multiple times apparently makes you just as overly competitive as the person who would rather cheat constantly even in the most friendly of contests. It's even worse in NCC, since AJ does everything right, and yet she still gets held responsible for RD's fuck-ups. What the fuck is Applejack even supposed to do in these situations?

Mare-Do-Well is underwritten IMO. It doesn't really make the case for the girls at the start and has to make them retroactively right. 28 Pranks Later is indeed really good.

>>42447930
Right from the start of MMDW she carelessly tosses a baby at the mom after the cameras grabbed her attention. What I never get is every time there's a case defending Dash in this episode, it carries the weird implication that Rainbow is the only one allowed to play hero in Ponyville, and that the girls were malicious for jumping in to save the day alongside her.

>>42445196
>Women are usually hypergamous, they want strong, capable, charming, accomplished, handsome men. Acknowledging this and still appreciating women for who they are is the stoic and healthy response as a man. Reacting to female nature with bitterness and hatred is degenerate and a red flag.
There has never been a healthy society that allowed female nature to run rampant. The most successful societies worked by suppressing the negative qualities of both men and women.
I'll grant you that bitterness and hatred towards men or women are unproductive, but it is an understandable reaction when you inhabit a degenerate, self-terminating society.
Rarity embodies the negative qualities of female nature, like Sombra embodies the negative qualities of male nature.

>>42447772
The early fandom was just suckered in by the memes, shiny new colors and ponies and got gaslit into thinking most characters could do no wrong. It wasn’t until the ponies really were just 1:1 mirrors of people from our world (around early S4) that they started to wake up and smell the landfill.

>>42439903 (OP)
In my opinion it's a complete non-issue if somepony is trans or not, because it's fucking Equestria, if somestallion wishes he was a mare instead, all it takes is a train ticket to canterlot to pester one of the high level unicorns into hitting him with the body swap spell and bam, she's a mare, it's done, it's that fucking easy.

>>42448423
The real reason the female-to-male ratio in Equestria is so skewed.

>>42447872
EQG isn't as bad as anons act like it is, but the first movie might be the worst piece of official MLP media ever made.

>>42448423
>body swap
W-what happens to the old body? Where'd the new body come from?

>>42448555
Can't they use magic to make new bodies? When you get too old you use the body swap with the freshly made body to live for another dozen years and so on?

>>42448423
>they just get a unicorn to do one of the very few things the show went out of its way to clarify that no unicorn can do

>>42448569
And how many other 'impossible' things turned out to be very possible?
>>42448564
Kinda, but while you can mend a body, the mind is going to gradually degrade no matter what. Easier to let a pony age rather than have somepony who looks 21 who can't remember what their name is or how to open a door.
However I would still plap young-body-old-mind granny smith without hesitation.

>>42448564
How do you know it's really you that makes the jump each time, and not a copy of a copy?

nah. that goes to the FIM finale

Sunset never developed as a character in RR.
Its only the people around her stopped blaming her.
And the students who were hypnotized couldnt know that the sirens were trying to conquer the world since how should they?
At worst they think they cheat in a music competiton.
If anything its weird that they forgive sunset that easily

>>42444994
I don't agree that this applies to Rarity. She definitely has her flaws, but in the end she either realizes her flaws or comes through in some way for her friends. As to Asuka, she was a refractory character in NGE because it is to be understood as a facade she puts up unconsciously. She does this because the events of her childhood left her with severe emotional trauma. Inside, she is terrified, alone, uncertain, and full of anxiety. To function in the world and save herself from ostracizim, her unconscious develops the facade she presents to the world outwardly. NGE is almost totally about psychological stuff like that. Every character is full of psychological complexity like that.

>>42439903 (OP)
My heretical opinion is that everyone else's opinion sucks balls and mine is superior.

>>42439903 (OP)
I wrote an unrelated wall of text but I accidentally deleted. Not sure how heretical this might be but I do want to get it off my chest:
The current state of the franchise is our fault for being too complacent with Hasbro, and that the pony community can't survive out of newbies watching G4 for the first time years after it ended.
We need original pony shows that are able to connect with a new generation of bronies in the same way that G4 connected with us back in the 2010's and G1 connected with Gen-Xers back in the 80's.
Hasbro can kill the horsefuckers, but not the ideas they want to fuck.

>>42449030
Name 1 time rarity has actually overcome her most apparent flaws (being judgmental, thinking she's better than everybody else, being overly obsessed with status and image, etc.) Every time she "realizes her flaws" she either learns the wrong lesson (Sweet and Elite) or goes right back to doing the things she apparently learned her lesson for (Look Before You Sleep.)

Twilight x Celestia

>>42448044
>What I never get is every time there's a case defending Dash in this episode, it carries the weird implication that Rainbow is the only one allowed to play hero in Ponyville,
Exactly this. You always see complaints about how the mane 5 were upstaging and humiliating Dash, but they literally never did anything to her. They gave her the opportunity to be the hero, and only stepped in to intervene either after she failed, or if she wouldn't be able to do it on her own. At no point do they ever do anything to Rainbow to sabotage or even slight her. Dashfags who hate the episode basically are arguing the simple act of saving ponies is upstaging her, and they basically are implying no one else but her is allowed to be a hero. And funnily enough, that's exactly what Rainbow said in the episode too, and exactly the attitude that made them start with Mare do Well in the first place.
If Dashfags didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards.

>>42444138
Trvth nuke

>>42450120
Their motive IS to upstage and gaslight dash. Why do they go out of the way to design silly disguise for that specific purpose?

>>42450155
>for that
*for anything but that

>>42450155
>Why do they go out of the way to design silly disguise for that specific purpose?
Because Dash explicitly fucking said "Nopony else can do what I do because no one else is cut out for being a hero". The point of the disguise is to prove that anybody can be a hero because anyone can be behind the mask. It's just like the end of V For Vendetta, it's the same message. Dash had zero reason to be upset about Mare do Well, the fact that she was showed she cared more about fellating her ego than actually helping ponies.

>>42450166
>fact that she was showed she cared more about fellating her ego than actually helping ponies.
So fucking what? wrongthink police?

>>42450173
So they were right to do it you retarded Dashfag, because she was willing to put placating her ego above actually helping people.
Way to prove that Dashfags do indeed completely miss the point and think Rainbow deserves a monopoly on heroics for no reason.

>>42450184
If they really want to dash a lesson, do they have to resort to gaslighting out of all things?

>>42450189
It's not gaslighting you retard. Learn what words actually mean instead of parroting what you heard another butthurt Dashfag say.

>>42450196
>psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts
>disguise as a pony that has super strength, speed, can fly AND do magic at the same time.

>>42450206
>>psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts
Yea, and they didn't do that.

>>42450155
>why the suit
To not attach any credit for the heroics to their real identities.
>>42450189
Would it have mattered to you if MDW was a real super pony, and not her 5 friends? Dash would've been jealous and humbled the exact same way, only she'd never forgive the vigilante in the end. She would have actually chased down and bullied a hero for being a hero.

>>42450218
>To not attach any credit for the heroics to their real identities.
If they use 4 different disguises, I'd agree with you. But they use the same fucking disguise to establish that MDW is better than her in every way.
Sound like gaslighting to me.

>>42450222
Because all of them being in the same disguise is to make the point that it can be literally anyone behind the mask, and who it is doesn't matter. Which I imagine would have been their reveal at the parade before Dash ruined it all in a fit of jealous rage.
Rainbow being an idiot doesn't make it gaslighting.

>>42450237
That sounds like a cope to me.

>>42450222
The fuck do you mean you don't agree on that point? It's literally a secret identity, nobody is chanting APPLEJACK or FLUTTERSHY in the streets. The fame goes to Batman, not Bruce Wayne.

>>42450248
If Batman decides to hire Superman to be the Batman of the day to casually beat up Bane, it's called deception.
When the mane 6 minus dash do it, it's called friendship?

>>42450263
Didn't Batman and Superman switch costumes once to trick Lex?

>>42450263
Deception isn't the same as gaslighting, dashfag.

It's genuinely fucking retarded how much bigotry is present on this board about a show where compassion and acceptance are major themes

>>42450273
Like I said, how is establishing that fact that MDW can do everything not gaslighting? It's quite easy to mistaken to believe that MDW is one pony because it's the same disguise which is precisely what the rest of the mane 6 did anyway.

>>42450094
>Do you hate fancy pants or something?
No, I hate that the lesson she learns is “never forget where you came from” when it’s obvious that she should have learned that she shouldn’t be so obsessed with being elite / high status, and shouldn’t want to hang out with and be friends with elite ponies that were constantly shown to be assholes to random ponies and her friends all throughout the episode.
she judges fashion, not ponies
Even you know that isn’t true.
>Admits that applejack is good at making her look like a bad sister
Ok? 2 seasons later in Simple Ways she talks shit and mocks Applejack’s way of life, obviously thinking that she’s above her, even after “learning” in Look Before You Sleep that Applejack’s lifestyle being different doesn’t make it worse.
Episode 2: cuts her tail off
And she’s still shown to be overly obsessed with her image in later episodes. Are you really this retarded?

>>42450283
I already explained this to you twice now. Rainbow being a jealous retard doesn't make the rest of the mane 6 'gaslighters'.

>>42450295
Rainbow Dash is a jealous retards AND the rest of the mane 6 are gaslighters.

>>42450094
>Do you hate fancy pants or something
No, I hate that the lesson she learns is “never forget where you came from” when it’s obvious that she should have learned that she shouldn’t be so obsessed with being elite / high status, and shouldn’t want to hang out with and be friends with elite ponies that were constantly shown to be assholes to random ponies and her friends all throughout the episode.

>>42447772
>>42448307

why is there no little guy in the corner making a pun?

>>42450314
>Do you know what comic this is referring to by chance?
It was a deviant art comic that was one of those many mare-do-well fixfics. Unfortunately, the link to the comic was dead, and I couldn't find any archives of the comic, but this was it.

>>42450314
>it's psychological abuse because their combined efforts were cheating in a game only Rainbow cared about winning? Seriously?
Funnily enough, Mare-Do-Well is basically a reverse Fall Weather Friends when you think about it that way. Dashfags have no problems with that episode though. Apparently cheating is only a problem when it's done against Dashie.

>>42450295
Let me ask you one simple question.
Do you think befriends someone that pulls this kind of trick on you is a good idea?

>>42450343
If I was acting the way Rainbow was? Yea, honestly, it is a good idea. They fixed her attitude, or at least attempted to, before someone got hurt as a result of it, like what might have happened in that balloon incident if not for mare-do-well. What happened was possibly the safest way it could have been handled for multiple ponies.

>>42450366
If that's the case, you're the last man on Earth I'd befriend with.

>>42447872
The movie that introduces the sirens was the funnest movie I've watched in a while. That Everfree one wasn't bad, just alright. I think all the characters look retarded though.

>>42450313
And Rarity shouldn't strive to be like Fancy Pants or Celestia because...high status bad?
>Even you know that isn’t true.
All of the mane 6 judge each other to some extent. Rainbow hates anything that slow or girly. Applejack only values practical things. Twilight lectures everyone about friendship. How far do you want to push it?
>>42450313
>simple ways
Ok? Same episode she's dressing and acting like Applejack because Trenderhooves sees her as the better specimen. Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery.
>And she’s still shown to be overly obsessed with her image in later episodes
Are you so unkempt that you think caring about personal appearance at any time is a flaw?

>>42450376
Do you think befriending someone like Dash is a good idea?

>>42450376
You sound like the unlikable cliche where the girlfriend screeches, "You lied to me!" in every super hero identity reveal.

>>42450388
I simply don't think dealing with people that has roundabout way to say they dislike me instead of being straight forward worth any of my time.

>>42450406
Because Dash has always listened to people telling her she was wrong, right? She doesn't just immediately brush off anything that goes against what she wants to do, right?

>>42450390
MMDW is universally hated by the fandom. It's weird that there are autists out there who unironically think it's good.

>>42450422
>universally hated by the fandom
Because Dashfags still made up the majority back then and couldn't stand seeing their precious little Dashie actually face push-back for her attitude for once in the show.

>>42450448
The fandom itself also points out that the method of lecturing Dash is, in fact, gaslighting.
Are you going to claim that most of the fandom is wrong?

>>42450422
I think there are a lot more of us than some shitty eqd polls and loud waifufags would have you believe. I actually like her as a character, by the by.
>>42450460
>most of the internet misuses a term
Don't make me laugh.

>>42450460
>method of lecturing Dash is, in fact, gaslighting.
No it isn't.
>Are you going to claim that most of the fandom is wrong?
Yes. Because the only gaslighting here is the Dashfags convincing everyone of some alternate version of the show where everyone is oh so mean to her for no reason.

If it's not gaslighting, then what it is then?

>>42450637
The voice actress was obsessed with the ship because she voiced both characters, and apparently wanted the writers to make it a thing.
So it's literally just because they have the same actress, and she was a shipfag obsessed with pairing the two characters she voiced. It would be like if they made Pinkie and Flutters a thing because they also have the same voice actress. Or Rarity and Luna.

I mean, what else would you expect from a mare do well fixfic? It's just like the Anon in that screencap surmised, they don't care that the others ONLY stepped in to save ponies after Rainbow either was unable to or delayed in doing so. The simple act of saving lives and receiving attention for it is a crime against Dashies existence. As far as any of these fics go, Rainbow is the only one allowed to save lives and be a hero, and if she isn't able to do it, then those ponies just have to die for her pride, because anyone else doing it is a slight against her.
>"You made an idiot out of me!"
They really do just blame the consequences of Rainbow's own over-competitive attitude and arrogance on anything but Rainbow herself.
