Why I dislike Fluttershy
Well I recently read a blog here about a user that wanted to get things through with why he/she liked Fluttershy the most, and we had a small discussion about it.
You see, Fluttershy is my least favorite character from the mane 6, I have gotten on the wrong end of things with other Bronies about this, and sadly, many will not listen to my reasons why, however, don't get me wrong.
I love Rainbow Dash, as do a lot of other Bronies, and there is an equal amount that hate her the most. I never get upset if you insult Dashie, yet if you do that to Fluttershy, boom! It's the equivalent of committing blasphemy. Well then, shall we?
1. Her character. Her most defining trait, she is shy and quiet. Well why would you hate her? Well she is a bit too shy and quiet. This is basically borderline Mary Sue, and in certain episodes (ex. Putting your Hoof Down) it seems that all of a sudden, these traits are oblivious and never existed. She is always pushed to be assertive, yet she barely acts assertive, and to top it all off, the stare, seriously? I can't stand that.
2. Gilda. Honestly, I see no need to hate Gilda because she screamed at Fluttershy. I scream at my younger brother everyday and my parents don't hate me. I scream at my friends when I'm upset and they don't hate me. Honestly, I thought Gilda had a great and mysterious character, and her attitude towards Fluttershy didn't change my view or perspective on her whatsoever. Yet many Bronies piss their pants in anger if somebody likes Gilda. "OMG! U LIEK GILDA? WTF IS WRONG WIT U? SHE YELLED AT FLUTTERSHY!!! U MONSTER!!!"
3. traits we share. I am nothing like Fluttershy. One bit whatsoever. Other than the introverted, antisocial, and shy part, I am not like her whatsoever. Taking the personality test on Bronyland.com, I scored to be most like Rainbow Dash. While I may not be like Dashie 100%, I'm not athletic, physically fit or active, or a bit of a wild thing. Yet me and Dash are both loyal to friends, have a sense of adventure, love to have a laugh, and above all, are a bit self-centered. Yes I admit that. This is probably the main reason for me choosing favorites due to traits we share.
4. Appeal. This is another reason she never really appealed to me. While many Bronies just loved her the moment they saw her, I was just like, "oh for the love of God? Really? Really?" I thought it was a little cute, however not cute to an extent where it was "Kawaii Kawaii Desu!! <3", I never really thought of that with any of the cast, they can be cute at times, but Fluttershy gets too much of the treatment. Honestly, there are other good ponies to choose.
5. Character standing. We've all seen it before, OMG, Applejack doesn't get enough love, she is just as popular, same with the rest of the cast, although Rarity can use a bit more love. Back to the point, when it comes Fluttershy, many Bronies will drop everything and basically persecute you if you don't like Fluttershy. Honestly, I don't do that to people who hate Dashie,or other characters, but it's just so mind numbing that thinking somebody has no heart or soul not liking a particular character. "BUT SHE IS SWEET AND INNOCENT! SHE IS ADORABLE!" Think of a better excuse to hate me, those are used so many times that it lost it's meaning, reminds me of countless haters calling me a faggot or gay or retarded that I just get used to it.
The final point (AKA, TL;DR), I don't like Fluttershy for her character, her traits she has, I cannot relate to her whatsoever, she isn't that cute to me, and finally, it's just my choice.
