Magic Note 2,750 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Even before I got into the show a few years ago, I always knew Rainbow Dash was female. I could tell right away with her voice and her appearance. (coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROJECT: Simon 3,955 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 If anyone is confused about RD's gender, look at her eyebrow.

newfrickinshow 100 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 A minute or so in I've pretty much forgotten about gender one way or the other for them all. Unless the episode is hitting me over the head with it they aren't mares, stallions, fillies, or colts. They're all just ponies. 3 Sharp Cookie says it's time to rock out with your cook out.

Rainboom Dash 1,056 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 From when I started watching I knew she was female right away, just from her design and voice. I just find it surprising people think she's male. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111111 111 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Not with Rainbow,but actully with scootaloo. I don't know why but sometimes I forget it. On other hand, our brain is programed from the beginning (or at least when you are very small) to think in gender roles. That's why you need to think before you say anything stupid(talking about myself) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowCash 127 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I never really knew Rainbow Dash as being a Male, I've really known since the start of being a brony that she's a female. Life is like a camera focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out....Take another shot!

Argumedies 1,748 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 (edited) I'll be honest and unashamed to say I thought she was a dude at first And I know its the whole "tomboyish" approach to the character (not saying anythings wrong with that) but sometimes they go a bit overboard with it. imho Not that the thought lasted long nor did I care. I was too busy trying to find out more about the fabulous little white unicorn to take any interest in the multi colored fly girl Edited October 27, 2014 by Argumedies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I've always identified RD as female, even before FIM. From a visual perspective, I never noticed a significant differentiation between RD and the rest of the Mane 6 when I first encountered MLP merch.

Sunny Fox 5,952 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Did none of you see the eyelashes?

Pastel 7,630 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 It has never happened, she's different from the male characters of the show: she has eyelashes, a feminine voice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeric 46,860 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I can see how some new to the show may make that mistake. Myself, I looked into the show before ever watching an episode so I had enough background thanks to places like 4chan and some of of late 2010 early 2011 internet haunts. I never had the opportunity to test this back then. A minute or so in I've pretty much forgotten about gender one way or the other for them all. Actually, that is a good point. Unless dialog mentions something traditionally feminine, I have found myself entering a 'gender neutral' mindset on occasion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Actually, that is a good point. Unless dialog mentions something traditionally feminine, I have found myself entering a 'gender neutral' mindset on occasion. I never really thought of it like that. Really, when I'm watching the show I never really think about what gender they are. Yeah, I know what they are & all, but it just never comes to mind. They're just living, breathing characters with flaws like any other. I feel like an epiphany just hit, haha. 3 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 17,373 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Yeeeeah back when I couldn't tell which ponies were male and female, I thought she was a male . I don't forget anymore though. 2 Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinQueenDerpy 131 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Nope, she has a moderately feminine voice, and also her mane is rainbowfied. ( Not necessarily a female characteristic, but you get my point ) She is very competitive, yes, but competitiveness and athleticism isn't just a male attribute. 1 "...And then the Princesses of Equestria declared, 'Derpy is best pony.'"...

Dash865 49 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 When I started I did not know until right before she was introduced. Based on dialog. But I never mixed her up with being a guy.

Silver Letter 1,832 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I concur with the others. I have not ever confused Rainbow Dash as a male character. Is Rainbow Dash bland, almost always irrelevant, easy to forget, is nothing more than manual labor and overall has little to nothing to contribute to the show? If not, then chances are, the character you are seeing isn't male. 2 Silver Letter!!!

SolidTwilight 383 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 (edited) It took me a long time to not say "he" when talking about RD. I never really thought that RD was a male, it just that I did not I did not associate RD with a any gender really. sine the ponys don't "really" have male or female parts anatomy wise and I think that the male shape look a bit on the feminine side. to me RD (and some other like vinyl, DD, Scottaloo ext.) did not scream FEMALE most of the time and so I did not associate any gender to them and my brain would just put the word "he" when talking about them (even thought I did not think they were male pe-say). kind of like when you see a dog or cat that you do not know there gender. it does not really matter since there a different species so there is really not a "need" to know there gender so it becomes really not important to me.
