Poll: Does Rainbow Dash Like Girls?

[Something Amyss]

Of course she likes girls. All of the main cast like girls. They're all friends, aren't they?

And friendship is "magic," if you know what I mean.

Rainbow Dash likes Girls is amazing. Probably my second favourite pony inspired song, just after the AlexS remix of 'Luna'.

Stay gay pony girl!

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

This is an awful topic. I think we'd be far better off asking 'Is Spike a masochist?'

All evidence points to yes.

Though could also be the fact I stumble upon a "Ask Molestia" tumbler...I don't know what to say about that...

Because its the best tumbler you'll ever see.

Or most oddest one I ever seen.

You have not even begun to know what odd means.

I'd be happy to find out though...

Well "IF" the studio could get away with it, it could go either way. I like the fics where she is straight and the ones where she is gay... honestly it would be nice if she was officially a lesbian sothere could be a positive role model out there but Hasbro would never allow it

I can't believe how many people actually replied to a thread that's all about the sexual preference of a cartoon character! That said, I like appledash shipping.

God, how do you people even live with yourself? What is it that is so appealing about looking at shitty fan-art depicting randomly-chosen characters from works of fiction making out with each other? Ignoring for a moment that this is a show about candy horses, this is the kind of pathetic obsession which distinguishes "fandoms" from "people who like something", whether it's My Little Pony, Homestuck, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Harry Potter, or fuck knows what else.

I'd like to know who started the business of "shipping". I'm sure it must have been a woman; men wouldn't waste their time trying to "prove" romances between characters that don't even exist, but the fact that so many of them seem to be obsessing over it now makes me especially worried. I guess MLP has awoken the "feminine" side of the guys who watch it?

I don't know, most of them seem to be confused teenagers anyway.

I think your getting too caught up on ponies, it isn't just ponies that it happens to,it happens to every show, people ship because people care about love, that is all to it. Sometimes it is for humor, sometimes it is genuine, it doesn't really matter. There is no point getting upset over this as it can be easily ignored, just look at one of the many other topics out there.

Anyway, part of me hopes Rainbow Dash is gay, just for that fact it would hilarious, both in the backlash and how awesome it would be

Aww, mother FUCK. Not this Tinky Winky horseshit again.

Ahem, here thee here thee! All persons believing that Rainbow Dash is a lesbian is hereby decreed WRONG by (her majesty) Lauren Faust herself:

"Rainbow Dash has rainbow-striped hair because of her name and because she is very interested in sports, specifically flying. She is a tomboy, but nowhere in the show is her sexual orientation ever referenced. As we all know, there are plenty of straight tomboys in the world, and assuming they are lesbians is extremely unfair to both straight and lesbian tomboys."

Here is my source: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/12/24/my-little-non-homophobic-non-racist-non-smart-shaming-pony-a-rebuttal/

Note that she doesn't say Rainbow Dash's sexual orientation (and really, does it matter?), simply that no one should assume she is automatically a lesbian. Just because the female to male ratio in Equestria is 9:1, that doesn't mean every mare is a lesbian. So I advise this little tip to live by: Rainbow Dash is not a lesbian unless it aids the joke, story, or Shipping thread. Can we all just agree on this? Please?

EDIT: fixed

I think we should agree to stop trying to nail it down. Some little straight tomboys will love her and if some young questioning gay girl wants to think she's gay, then better for her too.

Personally, I think she is, but I'm gay so I want to believe that. We should let it remain a mystery, though.

Rainbow Dash is a tompony. Nothing against lesbians, but I'm tired of everypony trying to see homosexuality behind every character; I know it's a big social issue right now, but that doesn't mean everypony is suddenly gay. Stop trying to insert it everywhere. Especially in a show that has nothing to do with romance or sexuality and is aimed at little kids; there's just no point.

 

[Keepeas]

If you're talking about that song...it's not really my thing

Now, if you're talking about Rainbow Dash, the pony, and her sexual orientation....that's a bit different.
She could, she could not.
I thought she might be a guy at first...
Honestly I think she's whatever you want her to be...and thinking of her as a lespony...that's kinda hot...

 

[Slayer_2]

This thready confuses me so much...

 

[Cain_Zeros]

But this is a show.

A cartoon.

About Ponies.

Aimed at a target audience of 8-14 year old girls.

Has anyone ever though that maybe, just maybe.... that girls aged 8-14 think rainbows are pretty?

Psh, bringing rational thought into a discussion about sexuality of characters who've given no indication one way or the other because it doesn't matter...

 

[Greatjusticeman]

Why is it that some of you are debating on whether or not a character that is from a TV show intended for girls under the age of 10 is a lesbian or not.

I mean, come on....what the fuck?

 

[Mcupobob]

Yes... Or no.. Whatever the hell makes you happy. I'm going to go grab myself a couple mikes and drink intill this thread makes sense.

Because, politics is boring. The war in the middle east is just something were going to have to accept. If global warming is real were fucked anyways. The economy? That shit so sad its not even worth discussing. Morality, philosophy, art, or literature has already been done.

What this world needs is come together right now! and decide once and for all, is rainbowdash a lesbian? It is the only way to achieve world peace. We've tried everything else dammit!!

Or it could be its 2 am on a Friday night and we got nothing better to do. Oh well.

 

[Durgiun]

She's a lesbian. Rule 34 has spoken.

 

[Flizzick]

Unless she outright states her sexual orientation on the show, I'm not believing any theories. The fanfics can speculate as much as they want, it still doesn't make it true.


Besides, would an episode exploring sexuality really make anyone happier? This show is about friendship, not dating or intimacy.

 

[Moeez]

To someone from the outside (I don't know why I clicked this thread), you people are talking in a different language.

When did grown ass people get into such a kiddy cartoon? Or does it have adult jokes or themes, like Ren & Stimpy, Batman, Animaniacs, or Adventure Time?

 

[00slash00]

i think this awesome remix pretty much answers the question

 

[Dystopia]

People should keep these horse discussions to their own thread or something because it is very weird that people are talking about the sexual orientation of a cartoon animal and it clearly angers other escapists.

I'm also amused at she sheer lack of grammatical knowledge in this thread.

This. Me, I'd peg Rarity or Fluttershy as a lesbian.

Actually, I'd only peg Rarity as a lesbian. Fluttershy I kind of read as being asexual.

To be honest I can see them all being pan-sexual because of the female to male ratio. However Rarity would seem the least likely because of her love for stallions such as Prince Blueblood. Fluttershy is almost impossible to tell because she could just be a socially awkward mare that might burst with love if she just meets the pony of her dreams. IMO of course.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that Blueblood guy. You can tell how much of an impression he made on me.
