I’m not the original artist, just fyi. It’s just funny to see y’all whine about not wanting to pay for something when nobody is making you pay for it. If you don’t want to see characters that resemble the designs of the mane6 at all, there are tags to filter for that. Given that option being available, you are obviously here specifically to outrage monger, which is against the site rules btw.
 
Not to mention that the mane6 themselves are based heavily on the characters from previous gens. Somehow you don’t want to call that a rip-off? And somehow you are not offended about artists selling massive amounts of artwork of literally characters from the show.
 
Not every piece of artwork must be completely original, especially if it’s fanart. The artist liked Rainbow Dash and iterated on her design. If you don’t like that approach, there are a lot of other options, the world doesn’t revolve around your preferences.
 
Also, it sold for $120 so maybe do your research that takes all of one click on a link in the description before saying people don’t want to buy it.

I have to agree with Background Pony #F6DA. This is unoriginal. I have seen WAY too many OCs that are too Similar to Rainbow Dash. Why can’t you guys just be original and stop making rip-offs off of canon characters? No wonder why people don’t purchase these types of adoptables. You people just simply cannot have a creative mind. Be creative and colorful with these OCs, Show them off all around the world and be popular when you are not original. And atleast don’t make them similar to any other character that is canon. It is simple. It is not that hard. Please try to be original next time. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your uncreative mind.

So much impotent anger, maybe you should talk to a professional about it

you’re trying to charge actual money for the ‘rights’ to a character you ripped off in the first place.
 
no, i won’t pay you $72 for your diet rainbow dash.
