Same, famm.

People who don't like Dash usually don't understand her.
>>
>>27609759
She has a nice house so she must be a trustfund kid. I bet if someone where friends with her they could manipulate and subtly mooch off of her. She doesn't seem the type to be smart with money so she would probably throw some at you as long as you pretend to be grateful and stroke her ego. She has a need to be liked and if you make her feel important you can get a lot of money off of her.
>>
Rainbow Dash is a good friend underneath those layers of cockiness, and sharp, teasing remarks.

I just like to consider that she has vulnerabilities alongside valid reason to feel confident.

Also:

It just happens. I have a friend pretty much just like her and we butt heads and legitimately annoy each other all the fucking time. I guess after a while it's just familiarity.

>ebin dashfag cunt maymay bandwagon
nice, you're on your way to fitting in already, newfag.

But in all honesty she's developed a great deal from her Season 1/2 days. Season 7 Dash is like an entirely different character. I fail to see how people still think she's a bitch even after all the countless redeeming episodes like Wonderbolt Academy, where she's willing to give her dream up if it means protecting the lives of others. Season 2 Dash would have just accepted that as a price of being with her idols.

>>
>>27609759
You've never seen the show it seems.

She may be somewhat obnoxious at times, but look at how she care for, say Fluttershy.
She is the perfect example of empathy.

The only fact that she knows her since fillyhood, and is still that close to her after all thoses years proves that she is not that bad of a friend after all.

Ok you could argue that at times she can be very blunt with others, and even her, but I don't think she ever did that to be impolite or cruel, but only to share her honest opinion.

Speaking of which, there is an old joke about that suggesting that applejack and rainbow dash should switch elements.
As it appears that most of the time, the loyal one is Applejack and the Honest one is Rainbow Dash.

According to you everyone must be perfect little princess to be likable.

If that's the case then AJ should be the most popular, yet in representation she is far far behind Dash. Because being nice and right all the time is fucking boring, as it turns out.
>>
>>27611205
Dash really isn't that bad, at least not anymore. Just look how she acts toward Tank and Scootaloo.
>>
>>27611205
You can like douchebag characters. OP asked why anybody would be friends with them. In real life Dash would be that person everyone pretends to like just to avoid an ego driven shitstorm but makes fun of soon as they leave
>>
>>27611240
That's not true at all.
If you think that of Rainbow Dash you clearly don't remember what a real douchebag looks like.

Or maybe you are still stuck in season 01.
>>
>>27609759
Is it because anyone who displays a cocky self-confidence and attention seeking behavior through competitive sport immediately turns you off?

Step back a second. Look at her as someone born with a talent who worked very hard to develop it. Some of that work involved risk taking and personal injury to become great at what she does. Naturally she's going to be impatient with others who second guess themselves, or never just go for it. Yet even so her moments of tenderness toward Flutteres outweigh the couple times she's expressed exasperation with her. And she's the first one ready to action when her friends are threatened.

Yeah, we've seen her ego get the better of her. But think of that like being a rockstar - suddenly your work gets the attention of others, you get used to applause, you have a fucking fan club - all before you're really that mature. It would be surprising if it didn't go to your head.

Being an athlete and something of a rockstar with an extroverted personality doesn't make someone obnoxious. Someone has to play that role, and with a few exceptions Dash has played it pretty well. I understand how her character would be intimidating to an introvert foreveralone with social anxiety who has never accomplished anything in his life, but that's prbably more on you than her. Yes, if you ever met her she'd be disgusted with you. But the last episode suggested Flutters would be as well, so what are ya gonna do?

Also the house is made of fucking clouds. Working with clouds seems to be nothing for a pegasus. Now look at the elaborate houses in Ponyville and remember that's an earth pony town. Imagine all the work it took to make those houses without magic. Building a mansion in the clouds is probably way easier for a pegasus than even a modest house would be for an earth pony.

YOu never had friends then.

One of my friend is a guy like that, bants a lot, cool as hell, but he also introduced me tons of board game nights with like 20 people.

Its funny how this board exagerate her cuntness, as if it was a crime, considering this board acts way more cunty than her at all time.

>>27611362
Wow, you're a douchebag aren't you, I bet you have no friends yourself.

>>27611362
Lmao, she's the equivalent of a professional athlete.

Cocky professional athlete ARE the popular kids. In real life she might have a different clique closer to the jock type, but they're some of the most popular kids in school.

Fuck it even applies to the E-sports scene and its cocky players, and they are the NERD version.

Seems like the one with no social cues is you, OP.

>>27609808
>>27611340
Jelly poorfags? If you're gonna be put off by one of the Mane 6 being a spoiled rich kid it has to be Twi. Remember, the original premise of the show was the star pupil from the princess' school for the gifted gets sent from the royal capital to see how the other half lives in podunk. By the end of S2 we find out her brother is captain of the royal guard and marrying her former babysitter, who happens to be an alicorn fucking princess. By the end of S3 she herself is an alicorn princess.

Who's the spoiled rich kid of the Mane 6? I don't think it's the pegasus in charge of the Ponyville weather detail.

It seems what you call "obnoxious" translates to "popular". Yes, Dash is popular. She has a fucking fan club, ffs. I'd make the case there is nothing obnoxious about that. It's just going to stoke up the resentment of the kind of person who is invisible to such a girl (or any girl).
>>

I have no idea, dashfags are just retarded I guess.

She's the only one with a real competitive drive. I don't think playing a board game would be fun with anyone but her for example

In high school when everybody is forced to deal with them, in adulthood they're the ones who end up in dysfunctional marriages and peaked at age 18...nobody ever liked them but had to deal with them because of the free pass through school they got and social hierarchy, after high school all the people with actual talent and likable personalities pass them bye

>>27611457
>She's the only one with a real competitive drive. I don't think playing a board game would be fun with anyone but her for example
What about Applejack? She's competitive but within being a good sport...Pinkie Pie has great pride in what she does, hence the episode "Pinkie Pride", Twilight is every bit as arrogant as Rainbow Dash but it's in the pursuit of knowledge, not just being a Chad
>>
>>27611489
Fucking kek you seems frustrated as fuck.
>not just being a Chad
r9kfag, that explains a lot.

And no, they're popular for as long as their career is going and even after. Even if they have "bad rap", they still have fans, as long as they're cool. Again, any professional player around will tell you that, if you watched any single sport ever.
>>
>>27611489
>after high school all the people with actual talent and likable personalities pass them b
So you think Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, LeBron James and Tom Brady are friendless has beens who peaked in high school? Something tells me that's not the case.
>>
>>27611489
Protip, none of them would be "perfect" IRL.

If we go full stereotype:
Pinkie is overly optimistic and on crack, in real life she'd either get a coke addiction or be pregnant at 14. And even if she's friends with "everyone", she wouldn't be with everyone equally.

Twilight would just be a nerd, without princess shit, who might be bullied for being a know it all who stick it to the teacher.

Rarity would have her band of female "high class" friends and stick witht hem.

Fluttershy would be a ghost, who may hang with Twilight.

And AJ would probably be the most normal one. But at the same time would be too busy with house chore and her family to be really friend with lots of people in school.

So Dash would probably be still the most popular, along with Rarity.
>>
>>27611489
>What about Applejack? She's competitive but within being a good sport

She doesn't seem like the type to become very invested in, say, winning at a card or a board game. I get that there's an entire episode of Rainbow and AJ having a bout in a hundred disciplines, but over the course of the series I've gotten the impression, AJ just wants to put Rainbow down a couple notches, Rainbow needs the win cause she likes winning itself. And AJ doesn't take losing too hard. Cause she never cared that much in the first place. Rainbow does, and that's what'd probably make hanging around with her more fun in certain situations than with other ponies.

And I mean Pinkie and Twi don't add up in my book, I don't see it. Neither of them are competitive in that sense. Sure everyone can get really invested in "something" at some point, but the desire to explicitly do better than others, that's pretty much exclusive to Rainbow.
>>
>>27611553
>AJ just wants to put Rainbow down a couple notches
Well said. Most farm people see getting above yourself (boasting, being arrogant or even having big dreams) as a negative thing. It's abrasive and borderline rude to people whose lives are literally tied to the land they labor on. The farmkid who has dreams of being a famous this or that is going to be shot down by her own family, because a farm is no place for such things.

Being both a farmgirl and a decent competitor AJ relishes the chance to get on over on RD, because in her eyes RD is too much of a show off. That doesn't invalidate their friendship, nor does it take away from the fact that Dash is something of a celebrity.
>>
>>27611294
TL;DR
>>
>>27611594
Which was starting to get ready annoying. Twilight and her faux humility was also retarded but thankfully some later episodes had more reasonable approach to this and Dash is still herself because honestly it isn't anyone's business how she reacts to fame that is a direct result of her actions. It's not like she's asking for it. In many episodes she's acting really humble or as her own worst critic as they say and people barely notice that because it comes off as natural and not forced.

I said their negative traits don't bother me because to me they're jerk off material.

>if you watched any single sport ever.
Even in the entertainment field athletes are known to be overpaid zilches with nothing going for them that everbody else resents. Maybe if you ever were into pop culture not including sports stars you'd know how douchey everyone else thinks they are?

>>27611548
Pinkie's personality and pure likability would get her anywhere she wanted to go, Twilight is intelligent...she would have a high paying job, Rarity is talented...she's a fashionista, fashion makes a lot of money. Fluttershy would make a living but not be famous nor would she want to be. AJ would be fine.

Rainbow Dash would join the military because she has no social skills and no talent other than the purely physical...and uh, idk if you know what happend to girls in the military but even military men look down on them because they are scandalous whores. And if you go the "pro sports" route, which isn't her job in the show, she would still be off to a bad life since nobody...NOBODY respects women's sports, and even men in sports get overpaid and have access to everything but they also suffer from brain damage and destroy their bodies in the proccess

>>27611553
Board games are up to luck anyway, so Rainbow Dash would be the type to get pissed and throw the game across the room
>>
>>27611790
It is kind of true though. The smalltown person with big dreams does have to leave, because their family and friends won't be likely to encourage them, and they can't be realized there anyways. Part of why Rarity had to have a boutique not just in Canterlot, but in Manehattan as well.

And Twi's forced humility was equally legit. She had to fake royal grace until she could actually pull off being a princess.

Dash and Flutters got equal completion of their arcs this season, with Flutters finally asserting herself without going to extremes and Dash accepting that her desire to be a hotshot on her own was pretty meaningless now that she was part of the hotshot team she'd always dreamed of.

Everybody seems to be having their arcs wrapped up this season, which is probably the reason there's no preview this week - something big is going to happen and I bet we'll see Discord, too

>>
>>27609759
Well, I'm the kind of guy who likes and can appreciate a risk taking attitude. I like to goof off and do stupid shit, and I'd imagine that Rainbow too wold enjoy that kinda shit, so yeah, wold probably get along pretty well.

The narcissistic, over-confidence thing wouldn't even bother me, I have lots of friends who are like this, and I too have a similar attitude so it becomes a competition a lot of the time, and for the most part it's fun.

I'm really not one of these people who get offended when somebody boasts about their abilities, especially when they can walk the walk. I think that's pretty petty, and there's nothing wrong with telling the world that you believe in yourself.

I mean I think she's shown to be rather personable and reasonable in most public conversations and circumstances. It certainly wouldn't be as horrible or obnoxious as some anons are imagining.

She's done some pretty absurd things due to reacting way too emotionally in the past, but hey as long as you don't involve me in that shit, we're cool.
