Pretty much what OP and SomeponyTheVectorer said.

She’s been reduced to nothing more than the obligatory cute. Most bronies wont care, they’ll still waifu the shit out of her.

…you serious?

@Yorec:  
Be right back, I’m writing that.

Nope. IMO Spike is THE one who gets the shaft most of the time. But he is getting a better this season.

She’s more assertive and outspoken with her friends, but it doesn’t change how timid her nature is.

Ever since the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt came out of the ether to give her one.

oh waah waah. Be happy you get any Fluttershy

I dunno, she seems a little flanderized to me. Before I get pelted with purely metaphorical tomatoes, hear me out.
 
In Season 1, she was brave enough to tell off a dragon, walk into the everfree forest alone at night, and stare down a cockatrice if her friends/innocent kids were in danger.
 
In the latest episode, she doesn’t even go into the everfree in broad daylight, accompanied by her animals. I dunno, it just seemed out of character for her to be like that, and I think they’re just trying to play the “timid and cute” qualities a little too much.
 
Also, since when did she have a teddy bear?

Have hope, my comrades. In the future we shall witness better characterization for the poor yellow one.

I dunno she seemed to be written fine to me.
 
She threatened to whoop Twilight if anything happened to her animals. But she was still scared of Trixie. You would be too if she could just turn you into a potted plant at will.

i dont give a fuck.

Her chief battle move in the changeling fight is ducking and covering her head with her hooves.
 
I don’t think she is any more or less cowardly.

Who cares
 
Trixie today

@Flammie  
I can’t wait for the Scootaloo episode been excited since I heard about it

I think it’s more about the situations she’s placed in more than a personality change. I mean, nothing really feels strange in the Trixie episode except for that one “Look how afraid they are” part.

she should be grateful to have that.

Who cares?  
We’re getting a scootaloo episode =D

Well…idk I would say she was overreacting more than usual but… she is Fluttershy

Fluttershy has always been that way, I’m more worried about Twilight, (whenever Megan writes her)

Heh, you even used the same phrase i did.

Season 2 Applejack would have a word with you.

She’s just that same.

She’s always gotten the shaft, but this episode really wrote her poorly.
