Ugh, reviving this thread are you? I'm very tired, so I doubt I'll be able to put this stuff into words as well as I'd like, but here goes. Not the guy you're replying to, but it would seem I happened to be around to reply. Could probably do without getting involved, but eh.
No it isn't. This isn't even remotely in character, not for her or any other character that's not a sociopath or something. It's not in character for her to let herself be endlessly abused either, but it's most definitely one hundred percent in character for her to be completely and utterly hurt and devastated by it, which the picture above just doesn't show at all. It doesn't even feel as serious as the other pictures like this, it's more like it's just making fun of them.
Now, in that sort of awful scenario, Dash wouldn't just stick around forever and get beaten on endlessly or something, and she would probably end up fighting back due to all the horrible things she'd be feeling, but if someone she loved more than anything just betrayed her like that, she'd be absolutely devastated and horribly hurt by it. Anyone would be, but Dash is of course extremely loyal and would be very, very attached and so on, and this sort of shit is just pure fucking betrayal.
This picture makes it seem like she doesn't even care or is indifferent, which is horribly out of character and doesn't make sense at all. I don't like to think about this awfully dark and depressing stuff, but the one Cyanlightning posted is most definitely accurate enough, because it shows the devastating hurt and pain she'd be feeling, even if it's not perfect or complete and could be extended. The one that this comment section is for on the other hand just makes it, I dunno, makes it look like she doesn't even care all that much that her beloved has turned on her like that, which is pure and utter nonsense, and would be very OOC for anyone who isn't a damned sociopath or something. Difficult to put it into words, but you get the idea.
You could extend it and add her fighting back too, if that's what you need to see, I don't think she'd just let herself be abused forever, please don't get me wrong here. But it's pretty damned natural for any character to act like"[@CyanLightning":](/661399#comment_5183351) when the one they love more than anything stabs them in the back/betrays them like that so horribly. And especially Dash, who is someone who'd be very, very attached and loyal and loving, only to have the one she loves dearly turn on her like that? It's not acceptance of abuse, it's betrayal from the one you love and trust the most. And Dash is the damned element of loyalty, even. It's very plausible that she fights back, but certainly not in the uncaring, indifferent way in the picture above.
Yeah, no. The one CyanLightning could be extended if you wanted, as these things are very brief and hardly show the full picture, but what is there very much makes sense (again though, she wouldn't just hang around and get beaten on forever or anything). The one above on the other hand, where she just doesn't seem to care at all, is completely nonsensical and feels like a parody more than a serious attempt at this shitty, depressing meme. There's no emotion to it or anything, no attachment, no nothing. Just indifference. It'd make enough sense (not all of it, but the fighting back aspect, sure) for a stranger or something insulting and assaulting her, but not for someone that she loves and has opened her heart to.
I'm sad now, I do NOT like pony abuse pictures. :( I had almost forgotten about this 'doing hurtful things' craze. I may just go to bed soon, so if someone responds or something and I don't reply, guess that's why. Hopefully though, this doesn't grow into a huge drawn out thing, because I've got other things to worry about later today.
