Ah, Rainbow Dash. Practically the face of the show and its internet audience, a status that most certainly has its ups and downs.

And not just because of people like a certain someone who got a cameo here that express their dislike through artwork that could fill a gallery ( d0ntst0pme.deviantart.com/gall… ). Rainbow Dash is an easy target for those expressing frustration over bronies and their obsessions. A pastel-colored pony based around rainbows that has a cocky, tomboy attitude and personality? Next to Pinkie Pie, what better than to represent the fandom in their hate art?

Not to mention such things also affect fans of the show as well. Being the overconfident, jock type that when fame gets to her head almost lets a falling hot air balloon hit the ground because of her confidence in abilities and desire to sign autogaphs? It's easy to gain dislikes. It's a fair reasoning, though plenty can overlook it, while others will remain in the strictly "Yeah, I don't like her" camp. But hey, you get that with any fictional character, so nothing new there. Still, when said character's the victim of two psychopaths that are usually her friends in several fan works, it's justifiable to say you got a unique case on your hands.

Based on those reasons, I felt it would be remarkable to do a comic displaying some of the more common situations Rainbow Dash may find herself in such negative fanart. I only got five, because frankly I could only think of so many that were both unique from others and funny. I'd love to see or hear some further ideas though, I'd be willing to expand this.

Also, the Johnny Thunder Sniper reskin has not been forgotten. I'm just trying to figure out more regarding this "Casual" Sniper model I see floating around the SFM crowd ( commanderjackshit.deviantart.c… ) that I think would work better. Also, I want to see if I can't get the Sexual Tyrannosaurus remodeled for him, or at least a nice Thunder-ish mustache for Sniper.

Yes, I gotta agree. Though she is probably the most popular character in the show and in whole of the fandom, it makes her perfect target for all the hate that goes for the show, bronies, and sometimes herself. And try to live peacefully. *sigh*

And let's not forget people assuming she's a lesbian.

Eh heh heh, vell, no.

She might be, she might not be. Β Until she actively shows, in canon, she is interested in girls only (which'd be very unlikely for the show) all we have is speculation.

And stereotypes based off personality and colour choice, which, I should mention, Rainbow doesn't exactly have control over.

tl;dr: I don't know if she's a lesbian or not, and neither does anybody else.

I was being sarcastic.

Sarcasm doesn't really translate into text that well.

That, and I'm godawful at responding to sarcasm in the first place.

I'd like to see your reasoning for this opinion of her sexuality.

I simply never considered anything else, seeing as the fandumb decided to label her one.
She can be Bisexual, Pansexual, Heterosexual, Homosexual or Non-sexual for all I care.

The sad yet well known truth when it comes to the fandumb.

then again, you definitely got some humor going on here. At this point Rainbow probably has solidified herself as the Kenny of others.

By the way, what did our friend Johnny Thunder going on "AGAIN" about? Does he have to go another epic quest?

No, it's a harkback to a previous epic quest:Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=meMsH3…

Meh, I've always been neutral about her really. Some of the art, like dontstopme, does get a chuckle out of me with how Kenny like RD is in his stuff.

I do love her expressions though. She's thinking "oh boy, here we go again".

Frankly her character is funny and charming to me with the kind of attitude that produces good results. Β The fact some don't like her and like Trixie (a horribly written "fan" character with the worst ego in the show) baffles me. Β Same goes for making ponies psychos which I also dislike.
But I digress; opinions and what not.
