Description

(Caution: Super pissed off SP right now, may say things that will regret later, but this must be addressed. I love my friends and watchers, you are all great and sweet to me and this is NOT aimed at you all at all. Stay awesome.)
 
The needs of the many…never outweigh the needs of Fluttershy.
 
Yes, that’s right. You all can deny it if you want, but here is the fact: Bronies favor Fluttershy before absolutely anything else. And I don’t care if you’re in the “minority” or whatever, this is the truth. I witness this phenomenon in episodes, fan fics, comics, even my own damn inbox. For example, in my image called “Stay Awake” which had Rainbow and Fluttershy hurt. I was outraged by some comments who were only pitying Fluttershy when Rainbow was just as hurt. Also in a comic I follow by :iconmetal-kitty:, there is a huge event where Twilight is injured and what do the readers do? Keep raging about how Fluttershy is crying. Hell, there is a fucking page where LITERALLY there is a panel of Fluttershy crying right next to a wounded near-dead Twilight and the first three comments are saying “NO! Not Fluttershy!” I wanted to throw up.
 
Yes maybe I am being unbelievably contradictive. Well lemme keep talking: Yes I am pissed, but I ADMIT that I am bitching. There are Bronies out there who claim to love “the show” when all they do is butt-fuck Fluttershy. I know I shouldn’t be raging on something that’s on the internet seeing as I’m being no better than the people who treat her like Jesus by defending her, but whatever; this needs to be let out. And lemme guess: “Hey, even in Revenge of the Harmony, you made Fluttershy cry and seem victimized!” Yes. That is true. Why was she crying? Oh I don’t know, MAYBE HER FUCKING FRIEND GOT GORED BY A MANTICORE TO SAVE HER LIFE? And even THEN I still get goddamn comments harping on Fluttershy’s safety when there is clearly another character in need of attention.
 
Now I know they are just a bunch of lines on a TV screen, but let’s face it: no matter what, they do have impacts on us. Trust me, I love MLP:FIM, it truly had taught me some lessons and did really make me value friendship a little more. Shows, when done right, influence us and our own character. However, then there are people who just look at one aspect and ignore the lessons or flaws of the other lovable characters and just worship one thing like it’s friggin real life. They’re doing it fucking wrong.
 
Maybe I’m wrong. Who gives a shit, it’s my fucking opinion.
 
And NO this is not raging on cloppers, you guys do what you want and I’ll let you be yourself. Art is freedom. I am solely targeting the people who care absolutely for nothing other than Fluttershy, which sadly is a majority. Don’t give me damn statistics or poll count or any of that shit, this is seen by me at conventions and deviations and comments and the whole shebang.
 
Maybe I’m being a cocky, contradictive, arrogant prick? Well you know what? I know who I am and my friends do to and those who are loyal to me will respect my opinion and stick by me. If not, then honestly, all I’ve got left is my art;and thus, myself. And that’s fucking good enough for me.

Sad thing this is accurate if someone unintentionally hurts fluttershy they’ll still be demonized for it.(see filli vanilli for a prime example)  
But if she intentionally hurts someone such as when she insulted one of rarity’s dresses her fanboys will instantly jump to her defense and in some cases will still try to put the one she hurt in the wrong.

I gotta say I see your point, but to be honest the shy fragile ones get either love or hate by the masses, there’s rarely if ever any in between when it comes to characters like that, in fluttershys case its love, she’s weak occasionally bipolar only ever useful in a pinch but people like her cuz she’s that wide eyed kitten we all want to protect and take care of, she’s mostly useless and used as more of a plot devise then a real character but hey she’s cute, it really hard to hate her for being so useless and the other five don’t have much that can compete with her in terms of vulnerability cuz they’re all more confident then her, for the record I’m the minority who doesn’t give a shit about her, I don’t hate her but I don’t love her either, I just find her boring personally

Of course in Twilight’s Kingdom, the fact that Discord made her cry was completely overshadowed by Twilight’s tree being destroyed.

I like how that guy cares more for Fluttershy. Because the other five girls can act like insistent assholes to her in some episodes like Dragonshy, Dragonquest and Bats.

It’s truly shocking that most of Fluttershy’s defenders are mostly the cringey ones.

Yeah, from what I’ve seen at least. Twilight has won all of the popularity polls, and when it comes to episodes focused on her or where she plays a big role, she takes the least amount of flack second only to Fluttershy.
 
The “Twilicorn Ruined Twilight” crowd either got over it, or made good on their word and stopped watching the show.

Yes, Fluttershy did get treated to a lot of favoritism…but that was last year.
 
The fandom is more balanced now. Or it tries to be.
paluzna

so she is raging because people like certain character WAY over others???
 
LOL
 
i would filter it because honestly, this is bullshit, but she is just 17, and her drawing style although horribly aformous has a certain charm to it, im sure it will evolve into something way better down the road.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Self proclaimed expert
I think Fluttershy is the considered the favorite is because of season 1 all the characters were average (for being main characters) with certain traits over others. However as the show went on the characters adopted certain character traits that made them more “interesting”, Fluttershy seems to have become the shy character that keeps turning into monsters. Plus there seems to be way more love for Rainbow Dash recently, both from the fans and the animators.
Twisty

you see what i mean? vocal minority talk louder, makes seems everyone loves flutters.
 
reality, most people push her aside or dislike her for lazy development.

@AdeptusEnginus  
It goes beyond her not learning her lessons. In most episodes, she actively tries to ignore all problems that everyone, even the character stereotyped as lazy, just have to deal with. She’s also not exactly a team player. While Rainbow Dash is competitive, for example, Fluttershy doesn’t even try most of the time unless she’s already the best at it.
