Wolf-Boy 54 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 My friend recommended this topic. I find it a tad bit amusing to hear peoples opinions on this. So, do you think she is? Or does it not matter either way to you? "Get it on your butt!" -- My last words while playing R-Type II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisReflector 886 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 If she was, why would I care? It's her life, do whatever she wants to do. Looking at her personality, she's just very outgoing and competitive. Nothing wrong with that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammo 986 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 I've known several tomboys who liked guys.. And one really maladjusted one who liked stallions soo... Probably not but maybe who knows. Most people are straight so odds are if the same rules apply to Equestria RD is. If she is into fillies who really cares it's a kids show they won't go there anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Rat 4,772 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 This is quite a silly question, I honestly do not think that Rainbow Dash is a filly fooler She may be a Tom-boy but that's only because that is her character 1 Thank you Nas for the sig :3 #HugWoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrFrog 927 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 If she is or if she's not, I don't see why it should be any of our concern. However since we are talking about a cartoon characters sexuality, the whole questions is just redundant at this point. 1 "Never give no manipulative bitch the benefit of the doubt" - Compa's grandpa...

Candy Apples 18 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 I always hate it when people ask this question. It doesn't matter which Rainbow Dash likes. Plus, being a tomboy doesn't automatically make her a 'filly fooler'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileForever^.^ 128 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 You know the funny thing is, just because she has a lot of the stereotypical aspects of a lesbian, that's just what they are... stereotypes. Much of the fan-art, fan-fictions, comics ect ect, that base Rainbow Dash as a homosexual are-vivid to say the least. It may be fitting for us, and her characteristics...but I doubt that she is. It's like this: Many say I have very similar characteristics as Phoebe from the show 'Friends', but I'm not her. Well at least not in this dimension. Coincidences happen people!

Champion RD92 8,658 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 I don't think she is a lesbian, but I think it's a possibility that she is bisexual. I could definitely see that. Especially considering that Equestria is filled with mainly females. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyEcho 1,610 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 Scootaloo's face is RD was. but she isn't and there isn't any evidence to show otherwise same deal for Princess Celestia. but alas this will not stop fan fic being made around this idea and for it to be fannon. my DA http://heavyecho.deviantart.com/ check my stuff out the Anime Club http://mlpforums.com/topic/48196-the-anime-club/ plz join us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riclo 160 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 Oh no. Another one of these topics. I don't know what she would be. I can't really guess on what she would be. She is who I want her to be.

Discovery Dream 592 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 I don't really think she has a sexuality, not that I'd care. She'd still be RD. It'd also be dependent on who she'd be filly-fooling for... Anyways, fine if she is, fine if she isn't. As long as it doesn't come up in the show. 1 no rest for the wizardly.

Envy 6,169 December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 A "filly-fooler"? What in the world does that even...? I don't know what she is. Since sexuality is not relevant to the show, we'll never know. Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,960 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 Sexuality is irrelevant in the show. Canon-wise, I know that that her being a lesbian will ever be confirmed, therefore I don't care.

Vedana Purity 221 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 Good grief, first people say she is a lesbian, now a filly fooler? Does it REALLY matter that much to people?

Starshine 16,334 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 If this was decades ago, the tomboy and sporty RD would be seen as dangerously slutty chick. Lesbian stereotype is hardly an old thing. http://sitemaker.umich.edu/lesbian.history/cultural_issues Nope, she's merely active physically, you can hardly say that she's a lesbo magnet just from her mane and her attitude. She also still likes pink and pink accesories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,881 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 (edited) Good grief, first people say she is a lesbian, now a filly fooler? Does it REALLY matter that much to people? Honestly Rainbow Dash can be whatever she wants. Leave the RD be. xD Filly-fooler means lesbian. Brony terms are weird -- K so, a few things, folks: A: Moved this to Show Discussion. B: This exact topic was made before, and it got locked because people got out of hand and the topic de-railed. If everyone would like this to stick around, I suggest we try and remain civil and keep things focused. Just a heads-up. I personally see Dash as bisexual, but it has less to do with her tomboy personality or rainbow appearance and more to do with the fact that she's a free spirit, and that I just don't see her caring about what gender another pony is, if she truly likes them.

duidamasterXD 9,627 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 I pretty much agree with what Chaotic Discord said. Personally she doesn't seem like she would be interested in romance until she matured a little more, but if she became interested in someone then I doubt she would give much thought to what gender they were. I can envision scenarios in which falls in love with a mare and I can envision scenarios where she falls in love with a stallion. Ultimately I can't see gender being a deal breaker for someone like her. So for the question asked in the thread title in my headcanon she's asexual for the moment, and will be bisexual when she's older. Of course she'll still be the best pony regardless of her sexuality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anadu Kune 668 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 It seems a bit silly to me for this question to be considered in terms of the show. It seems obvious to me that it will never be addressed and I think that's for the best. It something that should be kept among fan art and fan fic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbrony 16,055 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 (edited) This question is a stumper for me, and honestly, it has everything to do with evidence, or lack of evidence rather. First of all, as plenty of others have pointed out, RD's athleticism and at times coltish-mannerisms (and most ridiculously of all, her rainbow mane!!! ) have nothing to do with her sexuality. So she happens to be a tomcolt, big deal, there are plenty of straight tomcolts out there; heck, my sister's always had tomboyish mannerisms and been very athletic, and she is most definitely straight. The free spirit argument I get, there's no denying that RD is a free spirit; however, my only problem with it is I simply don't see it as enough evidence. Anypony of any gender or sexual orientation can really be a free spirit in all honesty, and Celestia knows there are A LOT of free spirited (or at least happy-go-lucky) ponies in Equestria, from what we've seen. Let's face it, if there's one subject the show has really stayed away from, it's boys, or dating in general! Aside from Rarity (and that was all in Season 1 for the most part), we've never heard so much as a peep from the rest of the Mane 6 on colts or their feelings about them. Now some of you may say, "Well even if they did, there would be nothing from RD to indicate she was a filly-fooler or bisexual" but that's really not the case. If they wanted to be subtle about it, really, really subtle, RD could drop a line like, "Eh, I'm not too interested in colts" or "Why worry about colts when there's so many more important things to worry about... like getting into the Wonderbolts!" Yeah, it's not much, but it'd be enough that I'd consider it to be some actual evidence for the filly-fooler or bisexual argument. My point is, I just think there's simply too little evidence to speculate about it at all, and the same goes for the rest of the Mane 6, aside of course from Rarity, at least when it comes to directly addressing the subject. It's actually one thing I really like about the show; some kids shows, and LORD knows MLP could so easily have fallen into this trap, spend way too much time focusing on dating, to the point that it comes to dominate the plots of countless episodes, and that gets old real fast. Is it somewhat more excusable for high school sitcoms or dramas? I suppose to an extent it is, but it can still get out of hand, because in my experience, dating was not the only topic of discussion in high school. Ya know, there was academics, sports, school activities, social activities, college prep, do I really need to go on? Frankly, MLP's largely stuck to general life topics, and if it ever delves into specifics about the character's ongoing lives, it usually involves their careers, and never their love life. The only episode that's ever even brought up special someponies was "Hearts and Hooves Day" and of course, as you all know, the couple in question was Cheerilee and Big Mac, and involved a love potion, not mutual feelings. In conclusion, I simply don't see enough evidence for accurately speculating on whether or not RD, or any of the Mane 6 for that matter, is a filly fooler or not, or bisexual even. The most I've ever seen her fangirl over anything was when she got to hang with the Wonderbolts at the Gala, and that was because she loves the Wonderbolts in general. If I see more evidence, will I change my opinion; sure, and I'd gladly welcome more evidence. But until then, I can't say either way, because to say she is a filly-fooler or bisexual would be basing my opinion off of heavy stereotypes along with some weak evidence (i.e. free spirit argument), and to say she's not would be basing my opinion off of no evidence whatsoever.

Tall_But_Short_37 233 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 I'm just not gonna comment... Just gonna stay out of this one... But really, just saying, wouldn't filly fooler be a better name for a pony pedophile, not a lesbian? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerpyFanatic 114 December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 LOL that's what I thought the first time I ecountered the term. But I supposed you'd be hard-pressed to come up with any kind of alternate. What would a gay stallion be? A colt-catcher? MUST...AVOID...BAREBACK...RIDING...JOKES... Maybe a pony paedophile could be a foal-fiddler? 2 I was about to ask why you randomly included Derpy Hooves being born on the timeline, but then I saw your name and my question was answered...

I too am finding the title misleading since it's not an obvious term to everyone. Someone brought this topic up to me on Skype earlier, and it took me a moment to realize what the term meant because the person who brought it up took a look at the title and thought it was pedophile related xD Edited December 11, 2012 by ~Chaotic Discord~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, to repeat what you said earlier in this thread, brony terms are weird! Edited December 11, 2012 by Batbrony 2 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me.
