Still doesn’t change the fact that Flash-hate is pointless hypocritical and just plain stupid.
OMG GIRL-ON-GIRL IS SO HAWT!!
Oh, for sure, but you’re leaving out all the high-pitched screeching that would absolutely have squirted out of the
ANTI-SJWcrowd over the absolutely haram inclusion of… inclusion in A Thing They Watch. There wouldn’t have been any less arglebargle, it would have just been bargleargleing in different directions.…By which I mean Sunset and Sci-Twi should totally make out in the next EqG movie.
Pfft, yeah they would. But for a whole different reason:
OMG GIRL-ON-GIRL IS SO HAWT!!
if Flash was introduced as a female character, no one would’ve CARED
Our Main Character having a momentary schoolyard crushflirtblush over
ANOTHER GIRL? Horse Friend, you bet your sweet bippy they would have cared.So basically the same mistake you made?
@TexasUberAlles
Let’s be honest, if Flash was introduced as a female character, no one would’ve CARED.
You’re right, it isn’t. But you think the stalker will care?
That doesn’t really seem appropriate, yo.
Okay but you’ve missed the whole point of the sarcastic double-quote here; it’s hilariously, hypocritically obtuse to insist that IT’S TOTES NOT ABOUT WAIFU-THIEFING, MAN then turn right around and give a primary reason that expressly boils down to… “waifu-thiefing”. That other BP invalidated his own argument before he was even finished making it, because it was perfectly clear despite all protestations to the contrary that the real reason for the Flash Hate wasn’t the “without any effort” part, but the “well developed and beloved character” part. It wouldn’t have mattered who got put in as a lowball
love interestcrush for Twilight In Monkeyworld, or how he was presented; he was gonna get hated hardcore regardless, solely for being the one who committed the unforgivable crime of… bumping into Twilight and making her blush. If you can’t see that there’s more going on than just “without any effort” when a character who has so little establishment or subsequent development draws such enormous volumes of such venemous hatred, I dunno what to tell you.“It’s a load of bullshit, really, that people still clinging to that stupid belief that Flash is hated purely because of waifu
the way he was smashed in a “love interest” position with a well developed and beloved character from the get go without any effort”
Note how BP beef is primarly about the writing not wiafuism.A love interest can be awfully written too
@Mr. Horrible
since he hasn’t actually done anything noteworthy enough to earn the amount of sheer fury people associate with him
…Sort of thing. Principal Celestia and VP Luna didn’t really do anything useful either, and the Shadowbolts were all new characters who pretty much just showed up and had some lines while Principal Ratchet twirled her imaginary moustachio and did all the villainin’, but nobody founded any seething hate clubs over them. There were plenty of people who complained– at the time and since– that Flash was a cardboard cutout who didn’t have much to do, but it’s a long stretch from “disappointed and maybe a little disgusted that a ‘main’ character was given so little development” to “two years later and screaming ninnies turn a front page Featured Image of Flashlight into a thundering shitshow that generated something like half a dozen bans and twenty or more deleted comments”.
It’s a load of bullshit, really, that people still clinging to that stupid belief that Flash is hated purely because of waifu, it’s kinda look silly today. But looks like you getting your “whole fandom admitting” thing judging by a bunch of vocal individuals from this site.
I dislike Flash in a first place for his lack of relevance and development, his stereotypical bad guitar boy that has a sleek hair and drives a cool car appearance, the way he was smashed in a “love interest” position with a well developed and beloved character from the get go without any effort, development and reason, and then everything else.
Also what @Background Pony #C0D6 said.
>we as a fandom had just admitted
Citation needed.
Well I mean, yeah. Obviously that’s what it is, since he hasn’t actually done anything noteworthy enough to earn the amount of sheer fury people associate with him.
@Background Pony #C0D6
I thought that we as a fandom had just admitted to ourselves by now that the reason so many people hated Flash Sentry from the get-go is because stupid waifu bullshit.
I think people’s real issue with him might just be that he did nothing at all. He’s in the Equestria Girls movies the absolutely bare minimum amount necessary to fulfill his role and that’s all, to the point that you can almost feel the writers’ resentment at having to include him at executive request.
In this case “minimizing the damage” feels like it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, Flash was a dud because they did nothing but prepare for him being a dud.
