    Instead of teaching kids that those who are shy are no different to others when they have opened up, alternatively, they did the opposite and displayed Fluttershy as a weak, timid, quiet and worrying character who is scared of nearly everything and gets pushed around by others, and even by her friends.

     

    I dunno, I've always found Fluttershy to be pretty brave. She stood up to a dragon when her friends were in danger, she stood up to Discord and befriended him, she's said no multiple times. A large part of her character in the show has been her slowly growing to overcome these things. She get's pushed around by others sure, but that's not unrealistic at all, and her friends don't really push her around. Rainbow can get a bit over-aggressive, but she clearly cares a lot about Flutters and wants the best for her. 

     

     I mean, I've had a lot of troubles with being anxious and really nervous around new people and things, and she really does seem a lot like myself when I'm in that kind of mood. Her "Scared of everything" reminds me of myself at times. I don't blame you for disliking her, but I can't say I disagree more.

     

     And no, I've never been offended by this show. I've disliked certain things about it, but there's never been anything bad enough, or ever anything felt like the writers had cruel intentions to make me feel offended. At most I felt a tiny bit uncomfortable during two episodes "What about Discord", and "On your marks" that hit a bit close to home on certain issues, but that wasn't necessarily a bad kind of uncomfortable.
