Yeah. That’s why girls are taught to beware the “nice” guy. If they have to tell people they are nice then that usually is a red flag to girls that they are the opposite. They seem to think its romantic to chase off guys that want to talk to her or keep tabs on where she is going “like a chivalrous knight protecting his ladies honor.” When to girls it comes off as jealous and possessive.A girl told me once,“if you want to see a “nice guy”’s true colors then break up with him.He will blow up on you in a ball of anger,resentment,entitlement,and possessive jealousy.” Bragging that you meet the bare minimum for human decency toward another person is not a turn on.It just says “woman though you are nothing but an object for sexual gratifcation to me and someone to take care of me you should date me because I will not beat you.You should consider yourself lucky that I am being nice to you and considering you to be my sexual partner.”

Yeah it does seem that way. Girls dont really like that entitled attitude at all.

Okay everything about that picture and title screams entitled and violently possessive. I would hate to see what he would do to rainbow if she tried to leave him.

Hey, I have great hygiene, terrible social skills, used to be able to lift but don’t anymore. I care a lot about cartoons and after all these years I’m desperate enough to find myself attractive D:

@TheAnonShy Go to ANY convention ANYWHERE. Bronycon, for instance, is crawling with them.

@Background Pony #263A  
I think that’s too stereotypical, how many nerdy people do you know with those characteristics?

@TheAnonShy  
Wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with being nerdy, but more often than not it’s not JUST that they’re nerdy.
 
Poor hygiene, lack of exercise, lack of social skills, lack of maturity, and general unattractive features tend to go hand in hand with many people who can be described as nerds. I’m not saying ALL are this way, there are always exceptions, I’m just saying it’s pretty common.
 
Instead of listing all those things out en masse however, “NERD” covers the genre pretty efficiently.

@Background Pony #64CE  
Why people consider that being “nerdy” is somehow “bad”?

@Crayv  
What about the girls? They might see him as their perfect,RICH,and handsome husbando who will go on romantic moonlight flights with them and praise them to their heart’s content and live happily ever after like a disney movie. Now she wants to date some gross NERD convention loser who probably doesn’t even live up to HER standards?

@Crayv  
Now THAT I can believe. :P

@Background Pony #63BE  
That or they have essentially self inserted themselves as Soarin and don’t like the idea of their waifu being with someone else.

@Background Pony #63BE  
Element of loyalty indeed. :P

@Background Pony #63BE  
Soarin is a wonderbolt but other than that, he is still a literally who to me D:

@Background Pony #12B7  
Because they want her with the elite rich hot guy celeb so they could be the hot celeb couple that the media always writes about. They don’t like the idea that she might someone they consider BENEATH her.

@Background Pony #63BE  
The only thing that I find disturbing is that people think that Dash was Soarin’s to begin with. :P

@Background Pony #63BE
 
None of which is implied in this image…

@Background Pony #63BE
 
The 50’s have never really gone away.

@FlyingHorseman  
When did we go back to the 50’s and the “ You are MY GIRL and you aren’t going ANYWHERE unless I say you can.” type of possessive jerkoff mindset?

@Background Pony #63BE  
I know right?

The implications of all this are pretty creepy. Treating dash like she is a prize to be won or to be defended.

@Background Pony #7DEA  
just like war, this fandom never changes

@maverick159  
I love the irony of that: most of the reactions to this episode completely ignore the core message of the episode in the first place. Can’t remember the last time I cried of laughter and sadness at the same time…

@TheAnonShy  
You know after Participating +5 Dramas in the past and +10 Heated Debates in derpibooru. It really does make me laugh to see on going Drama In derpibooru.

@CyanLightning  
I’m with you.  

@Background Pony #1E1E  
no, i said that because of the whole self protection this shipp has, so chill the fuck out i’m not a background pony with drama thirst. but seriously can we all just stop? is it too hard to stop? can’t everyone move on with an opinion? the message of the episode seriously wasn’t catched by anyone
