"I like to imagine her having all those awesome qualities that she has without the negative bitchy qualities that she tends to sometimes have."

I don't get it.

All I got from this was "I like fanon stuff and imagine she has qualities she doesn't actually have."

Maybe I'm just missing your point. *laughs*

I'm not trying to be rude, of course, but I just don't see how she comes across as an appealing character or someone that people would want to hang out with...

as weird as it seems you kept talking about negative things of her, and what people think of her. you talked about some awesome qualities that she has that made you have a crush on her...

 

which qualities? you haven't said any possitive quality that made you love her, you just focused on the negative part because you are aware of how much many people on here dislike her (me included).

 

I still think that you are a pretty cool dude, and that's not gonna change, unless you start to act like her or something. So you can feel completely confortable saying the things you like about her, I'm not gonna judge, I'm very open minded.

 

I suggest editing your blog, or make another entry. 

But then again, it's pretty hard to make a blog outlining why you have a fondness for a particular character especially one who's as enigmatic as Rainbow Dash. She ranks right up there with Rarity as one of those characters just hard to understand unless you have amazing empathic ability and are able to see what others generally view as shallow and egotistical.

You are not understanding the point of this blog entry. I wasn't trying to convince anyone to like Rainbow Dash, I was just sharing my personal reasons why I like her.

Exactly. So I'm saying that I'm not convinced that Rainbow Dash is any better. It may be a side comment, but it's an opinion...you have to accept the fact that not everyone likes her.

I don't exactly not focus on RD's good qualities. Okay, so she's positive, loyal, and outspoken. These are fine, but they're overshadowed by her jerky side, as Motion said in his review of S3's premiere. 

Giving my two bits.

This blog was a mistake. People are not understanding what my point was. I'm starting to get annoyed now.

Time to become a Rarity fan I guess, cause apparently that will make people happy.

Rarity has haters, too xD You're not doing yourself any favors by just switching to the opposite of whatever the unpopular opinion is now. Quite frankly, a blog like this is a big sign for all the Dash dislikers, because they're curious of why a Dash fan likes her. I get you're irritated that you got nothing but negative feedback, but really, I don't see the point in just abandoning ship to find a new one for something so trivial like this.

Opinions are opinions.

You're going to change favorite ponies because a few people don't like your favorite. Wut.

I agree that both Rarity and Rainbow Dash are the most complex characters of the mane6...but I can SEE why Rarity is my favorite character and why people are so ignorant about her. But honestly I can't say the same about RD

You don't have to do anything. As funny as some of these blog posts are... I can't really say they're the most accurate either.

Yeah see, this. Someone's immediate judgement on something doesn't equate to that character being downright horrible. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

NAH you can like RD all you want...it's your choice

lots of negativity... what is wrong with you guys?! h was simply stating why he likes rainbow dash, I  dont see why that is such a big deal.

Vice-versa for anyone else, really. You'll just have to try harder in understanding Rainbow's perspective rather than continue to be ignorant about her qualities and how she ticks.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I did say that I look at her positive qualities as well, didn't I?

Well, never mind. I proved my point, and doing so more would anger you guys, so...

I'm not ignorant pal...

I've seen enough of her...yes, she has good qualities, but she mess up BIG TIME, and I'm not gonna get in deep in the issue because I don't want to make RD92 to feel worse.

However, she was good in this latest episode with Scootaloo. But I still, can't like her.

No, make Pinkeh your favorite. It will please me.

Maybe that's the problem? Are you bigoted enough to not allow yourself to like her character?

Most of you forget about Rainbow's heroics in saving Rarity (ironic as it is) from her death way back in season one, for starters. Granted, I don't dislike any one pony but I'm guessing you'll just completely ignore the fact that she was being pretentious and completely snobby during that one episode, so much that she actually learned her lesson in the end. If that doesn't give you an indication of the good in one character, then you really have to do some more digging.

Rainbow Dash is my favorite pony. She is headstrong and opinionated. She is also strong and very capable within her area of focus. She is a leader, but a brash one. She is willing to lay it on the line for her friends. She is a dedicated athlete, but she is a bit on the lazy side. I like her a lot, because she reminds me of most of my greatest friends in real life.

If you are an Rainbow Dash fan, then you are in good company. However, Pinkie Pie and Rarity are also my favorite ponies. I have gone to bat for Rarity on this site many, many times, and I have read stuff from folks out there that quite passionately disagree with me (some of those Rarity debates were intense). Guess what. All of this is okay.

People can disagree with me all that they want, but at the end of the day, I don't mind this. In fact, I would be willing to stick my neck out there and defend their right to disagree. Listen RD92, whenever you make a bold proclamation, you need to be ready for challenges. People have every right to challenge you - so long as they remain respectful. There is no need for suddenly switching to a different pony due to folks disagreeing with you.

Here's my point. It doesn't matter what others think of your preferences. Why? I'll tell you why. Because they don't know a dang thing about you. To them, your reasons may seem shallow and unconvincing. That is because they aren't you and it is impossible for them to understand what makes you tick. However, you understand yourself well enough to choose your favorite pony. That is all that matters.

People have every right to disagree with you, but... You have every right to shrug it off and go about your day. Don't take things personally, and you don't have to answer every critic.

True story, in my last semester in grad school, there was this one professor that kept giving me a hard time about my thesis. I mean this guy would challenge EVERYTHING that I did and that I said. He was like a shark... Constantly hovering around looking for something to use to say "you're wrong". You know what I did? Think I wasted my time answering every single criticism, every single challenge? No. I held my head up and I got the dang work done. In the end, I presented my thesis to the committee, and because I had focused on my project and not on my opponent, I was ready. If I had wasted time defending myself and catering to him, I would have never made it out of there.

Be your own person. Smile and listen to the critics, but don't let them rent space inside your head. Besides, it isn't like they want to. Think about this. Do you think that folks in this thread are honestly hating on you because of pony preference? Maybe they are just curious. Motion Spark is silly sometimes, but he CERTAINLY does not intend to make you feel bad (GCT, if you go there, you know what it is). Shank isn't trying to run you off either. Remember, see randomness. Unless people outright say and act like they are out to get you, you don't need to think that they are your enemies.

Take a deep breath my friend.

We are friends here, and no one wants to make you feel bad. It is just that it is hard to understand this without being able to see the face or hear the voice behind the words.

I rated 5 star because I don't want to be a dick .

Honestly, if you create anything, you should expect hate and not reprimand others for giving their opinion on the matter.

"I didn't create this to receive hate"... Well a lot of things created don't want to receive hate, but it happens anyway. If u are going to change your avatar and pout about people not agreeing with you, well, I dont have any sympathy for you.

Is it just me, or has there been an influx of low blog ratings lately?

You know, I should make a blog like this about AJ in order to see the reactions of people. Most likely, Clari will be like "But you like ventellopes instead >:c" 'cause sometimes, her immature 13 year old self catches up to me .

It isn't just you. I've seen it as well, and I am beginning to rethink the existence of ratings. Ratings exist to rate the quality of the content. You should not click 1-star because you don't agree with something. If you disagree, state your opinion in the comments - not the ratings. Savaging someones blog rating because they posted a controversial opinion is NOT what good discussion is about, and if someone is not here for discussion then they need to check their motivations at the door. You wouldn't walk on your mother's carpet with filthy shoes, don't walk all over someone's blog with 1-star ratings that are based on opinion.

I'll never understand these "best pony" discussions, people have favorites and a personal reason for liking a certain character. Their reasoning may not be the same as yours, you just got to deal with it and move on. In the end, the truth lies within you. One can not simply change that unless you've changed it yourself.

Then again... i've never really been that person who shows and/or defend his favorite pony, so i'm not the best person to respond here but whatever..

I'm quite sure that for some (new people) my favorite is unknown. Lately i've been hard to read. I haven't openly discussed a lot within the pony board. Apart from a few confessions a while back.

"Ohh look his avatar most represent his favorite!" Wrong, that's not always the case. Some might remember that i was under the name of Dreamwalker for quite some time too. (or the dozens of different characters i've had on my profile)

A little off topic.... (I'm sowwy)

Sorry, Clari :c.
