Faust did not confirm nor deny any sexuality for RD. I’m sure you’re referring to Faust’s 2010 response to a blog post that accused her show of being racist and homophobic based on surface-level impressions. Faust correctly suggests that it’s unfair to both straight and lesbian tomboys to generalize and assume every tomboy is lesbian. RD is not the only lesbian (or bi) pony in the show—there’s Lyra, Bonbon, Aunt Holiday, Auntie Lofty, and if you’re interpreting RD as gay, AJ, too. That showcases a variety of ponies who happen to be interested in mares. Being a super awesome main character, RD is amazing LGBT representation; her sexuality being non-straight isn’t regressive in the least. The majority of canon lesbians in media are quite feminine and are rarely main characters, so I find RD refreshing in this way.

@rockpigeon  
it’s horrible LGBT representation, Faust did say that RD wasn’t a lesbian because its a stereotype and wanted to show that you’re not defined by your characteristics, i agree fully with @Background Pony #43A8  
at the end of the day stereotypes like making RD gay instead of a non “obvious” character hurts the lgbt community and trains children that if they like tomboyish stuff then they have to be gay, its easier for people to make a stereotype then to actually write a fully fledged well written gay character who isn’t just based off the way they look or act, the more tomboy girls and feminine guys get cast off as gay then the harder it will be to get actual proper gay representation in media

@Background Pony #443D  
Who’s to say she isn’t bisexual or pansexual? Your trifling color issue: solved. Don’t forget, AJ’s in this boat too. At worst, a gay RD and all her rainbow-ness is on the nose, and at best, it’s a neat coincidence.

@rockpigeon  
Why does the RAINBOW pony have to be the gay one?? Yawn.

@Background Pony #43A8  
Old post but, “not appealing to homosexual viewers?” Speak for yourself. Discovering that these two beloved main characters were implied to have ended up happily ever after with one another delighted this homosexual viewer to her core. And way to grossly misquote Faust like that.

Awesome ship

I retract this statement, the hell was I thinkin…  
Edit: nevermind I cant decide.

While i heavily don’t agree with the ship(for obvious reasons), i really adore the art <3

@Background Pony #3219  
This is bait.

best canon

Think this was always one of his favorites.

@Background Pony #A5B4
 
Eh, this is the guy behind Ask Princess Molestia. He’s faced much worse from the fandom. And that’s assuming he even reads these comments. It’s not like he posted this image here himself.

i feel bad for the artist now

lots of salt here

I had to do this.

Yeah they should know by now that “implying” anything will always escalate into a flame war, claiming hundreds of innocent accounts in the process.  
On the other hand, that could be what they planned from the beginning. They’re probably laughing at us right now.

@Background Pony #224A  
dont really have a problem with the ship itself, more or less the “””“writers”””” that implied it

@Background Pony #224A  
Thank you! Finally someone said it!

If you don’t like other people’s ships, why go to the comment section just to trash-talk it? If it bothers you, block the tag. Simple as that.

@Background Pony #438E  
I probably would of stuck with what Faust said and stayed that RD wasn’t a lesbian. Then would of went with Rarity and AJ. But I’m not a writer lol.

Wasn’t my shit but happy your ship went well, tha art looks amazing!

It’s implied, but not confirmed nor denied.
 
Though it’s canon to you since you’re an AppleDash fan so that’s sweet. Love the art! ^^

@sxcbeast  
That’s actually a pretty good idea for an episode

@Background Pony #438E  
I wanted them to have Rarity/AJ/RBD episode centered around fashion (that one AJ episode almost got it…). AJ expresses her “hate” for fashion stating the usual stuff; “Fashion doesn’t make the chores go any faster…” ect… Althroughout the Episode Rarity is forcing her fashion on her all just to “find the one thing AJ might like”. Then at the end of the Episode AJ goes to Rarity and apologizes for disrespecting something her friend loves; and she see’s RBD being really insecure and picky about her outfit that Rarity is making for her; AJ is surprised to see her trying on all the latest fashion; then RBD let’s AJ know that “even tho she’s a sports pony, she really likes to dress in style!”
