When someone says that they hate something it is rarely true hate. When someone that someone would be better of dead, they rarely mean that from the bottom of their heart. People do not truly hate characters of tv shows unless they make themselves a target for the hate(for example by being evil). People who really hate something good badly enough to want to cause real harm have a bigger problem inside their heads. The most common form of “hate” is just opinionated strong dislike. You think it's a fallacy because you think I'm talking about this “destructive hatred”. When I'm not. It's not correct to call strong dislike hate? Well so many of us do it anyway and nothing can be done about it. I didn't say you aren't allowed to express opinions. I said that you come of that way. Just because you don't say something or don't mean it doesn't mean it can't look like you did. Expressing yourself clearly without a smaller chance of being misunderstood is a skill(something I don't put enough effort into). Misinterpretation is something that's caused by both ends. “And Gilda was only mad at Rainbow Dash after Rainbow Dash gave her speech” Exactly what I meant by saying that Rainbow Dash stopped being cool. The problem is that it was too vague for you to see that.

There might be a bit of confusion about what i meant with a losing streak. I'm talking about a situation where you lose a lot in a short time. The down feeling you get is from losing your "flow". It's a momentary hindrance that will go away if you let it. Low self-esteem is a much bigger issue than losing your peak performance from a losing streak. Sure it's something that can develop into something worse, or it might not.The feeling that you failed does not automatically mean that you see yourself as a loser. People with low self-esteem might see themselves as losers. There are other ways to cope with losing and failing. When i lose a competition i don't normally feel bad afterwards. There has to be consequences that i really don't want to see happening that might make me feel bad about losing. Losing the competition itself isn't enough to put me down. A long term losing streak on the other hand just tells me that something about my "game" is not right. That makes me seek out the problem and see if i can do anything about it. Back to Rainbow Dash Now that i think back Rainbow Does actually does show more of traits needing to put appearances. I was too caught up in that one episode to really think or remember some of the others. I'm still not completely convinced that the problem runs that deep. She also shows many traits that are uncommon for a person with huge self-esteem issues. She has an overall happy and energetic attitude. Athleticism and sports are really up there in helping you build up that self-confidence. Now stress really magnifies our personality. What normally doesn't seem to be much of a bother to Rainbow becomes a huge issue when under stress. That is also apparent in the daring do episode. Where the fear of being found out becomes stressful and feeds her "bad traits"

Gilda didn't hate one pony she hated everypony. That is a big difference. She even hated Rainbow Dash after she "stopped being cool". Gilda being a bully and in general hateful "person" is not comparable to someone hating one character or two. Gilda had a rotten attitude altogether. Someone who hates Rarity just hates Rarity and isn't necessarily that mean about anything else. The hate characters like Rarity get is not this destructive hate you describe. The hate that people feel is just strong dislike. In this context Hate and Depression are so different emotions that they should not be compared the way you just did. Hate is fueled by an opinion. Depression is more or less involuntary. Hating a character is pretty much a choice and isn't malicious because you are not harming anyone by hating a character by yourself. It's different if you spread the hate. T he reason you felt so hateful and aggressive was because it felt like you were saying that we are not allowed to feel what we want to feel. Let's say that I really despise and even hate America(i don't hate America, i love that country) but i don't express my hate and i don't offend any of them because I'm respectful. Am i not allowed to hate them for doing things i really do not approve of? It makes me a bit of closed minded sure, but it doesn't make me a bad person.

Freud has been pretty much discredited for lack of actual evidence. Rainbow dash has failed more than once, but the only time she showed her fearful side was when she was extremely stressed. She didn't show low self-esteem when she failed to kick the dragon in dragonshy, nor did she really show it when she lost the race against her pets to be. What she does show is competitiveness. Competitive nature doesn't come out exclusively from low self-esteem. When I'm competitive i don't feel bad for losing. I feel bad because i know that i could have done better. If i still get that perfect performance out of myself and still lose then i don't feel the same way. But the thing is that if you lose enough you won't be able to go for your to performance. That's more because your current losing streak is putting you down than a low self-esteem deep down.

Twilight is getting a lot of popularity because Tara Strong is so awesome with this fanbase. Applejack needs more love though.

Favorite is Winter Wrap up. I don't really have a good reason why i liked it so much. I watched that when i was just starting to really get into the show. The episode just left me in a really good mood afterwards. Secret of My Excess, was kind of boring. It had it's good moments, but it still kind strange. Baby cakes gets an honorable mention in this category, but doesn't win it because i liked how it ended.

You just made me like her more. It's funny that i liked her a bit less after the end of season 2. Yet RD is usually the type of character i love most. these are some of the traits that make an interesting character: Little arrogant, self confident, knows that is good at something and isn't afraid to say it all that, but still reliable and good. I don't really believe that. It doesn't seem like thats a trait buried deep inside her. That is the only time she acts that way. If she truly was like that they would have shown more of that side of her. That was the one case where the stress got the best of her(happens to the best of us). RD was trying to do a sonic rainboon which she has only done once in her life and that was long ago. She trained hard for it, but just didn't manage do it in her training. She's supposed to do something impossibly hard. It's one of the biggest moments of her life and she isn't fully prepared for it. The crowd doesn't help either. That is an overwhelming amount of stress. RD going overboard on "Mare Do Well" doesn't seem like it's because of fear, but more likely her competitiveness(it's shown in the show on several occasions that she's very competitive). As a very competitive person i know that she's not acting up out of fear of being ridiculed or overshadowed. When you know you are good at something but you lose, you instantly want to beat them because you know/believe that you can do better. If you keep losing like that there's a small annoyance in your head that keeps building up if you lose more. The need to beat the other one gets stronger. It's not because you are afraid to show that you are worse, but it's because you believe you are better and want the victory for the sake of victory. In the end if you just can't win you must admit defeat, but at least you did you everything to not give up. You never had that feeling of healthy "rage" when you were doing bad at something and playfully though to yourself: "This is not going to do, i will destroy you"? That rush motivates you instantly to do much better. Long post so please bear with my dyslexia.

Someone is going bit overboard about this... I hate to say it(cwutididthar????) but the one person that seems most against what the show stands for is the one who is acting so vigorously against the so called "haters". Saying things like you don't tolerate hate. I'm sorry, but that isn't really Love or Tolerance. You act pretty hatefully in this topic even though you don't seem want to admit that to yourself.
