Though she’s is clearly going about it the wrong way…thing is, OP’s partially right.
 
“Best Pony” Has changed as the show has gone on. Season 1, Pinkie Pie was most popular. Season 2 until a little bit around halfway through Season 3, Fluttershy. Today, it’s Twilight. It’s actually a relatively effective way to tell which season someone started watching the show.
 
I used to watch the episodes live, then post a “critique” in the comments of Equestria Daily, until about a month or so ago. A couple of others did the same, probably still do, because it’s fun to interact with others and see what people liked and didn’t like about what they saw…  
…at first.
 
Thing is, as the show has kept going, A LOT of fans have left. I know a couple myself, along with one who is JUST BARELY still keeping up with anything pony-related. Most of the ones who “suffered” through Season 3, and the ones who have remained since the very, very beginning, are unfortunately the very loud, “Fluttershy is mai waifu” crowd. You can see it very clearly on just about any of the fansites, especially after new episodes air.
 
Personally, Fluttershy is my least favorite for the sole purpose that, well, she sucks as a character. Her personality is fine, but her actual development has been hitting the exact same note over, and over, and over ever since Season 1: She’s shy. Today, in this episode, she’ll learn to not be shy, until the next episode where she’s shy again. Every time there’s a Fluttershy episode, I hold out hope THIS will be the one where she gets proper development, only to be disappointed once again by the exact same note.
 
You can imagine how many people I’ve irritated with this opinion. I don’t want to say that they’re the majority now, but when you defend this kind of thing by saying that it’s a vocal minority, do remember that Bronies are only a minuscule portion of the actual fanbase of the show. We, as a whole, ARE a vocal minority, and unfortunately, there are A LOT of us who are completely unreasonable on this front. OP let herself get a little heated in this particular case, but I can entirely understand why one would find it obnoxious just how much blatant favoritism she gets over everyone else in the fandom.

Actually, Pinkie is fairly responsible; She works to someone else’s terms, she contributes to society regularly and she deals with her problems instead of running from them. She may act silly, but silliness and childishness are not the same thing.  
Fluttershy, however, tends to avoid contributing to and outright withdraws from society several times, and her solution to every problem is ‘run away and hope it goes away on it’s own’.

@Background Pony #CE89  
Yes you can argue about chilish being versus Pinkie Pie. I guess I should have said “most innocent”. Forgive me for my incorrect vocabulary choice. Also, yeah I didn’t mention Pinkie Pie. Sorry about that. Ahh, I don’t see people complain specifically about her being sad about that. I find this part to be a little odd. Maybe I just don’t understand this particular part of the comic strip because a lot of people like her depressed or psychotic. I mean, that’s why there’s so much creepypasta about her.
 
Yeah I know it is exaggeration, and I’m also not forgetting it was a rant as well, so that can make the actual person’s opinion to be a little bit of a stretch from what she’s thinking.

@twistedmetalero  
I bet he is the same guy who would believe that Fluttershy is real and would say that they are married. I’m not referencing anything. insertliarjackface here

if you see it this way, that 1 brony is the only one over protecting fluttershy, the rest of the most sane ones dont really give a fuck.
 
thats pretty much fluttershy extremism ina nutshell.

@twistedmetalero  
That’s also true, and I’m not denying that either. She’s a character made from an animation error that the fanbase gave a personality to. Of course they would adore her a lot because she was created by these people.

@Background Pony #C738  
“Fluttershy is the most childish one of the group”  
Um… no? I’m sure she is not. I think Pinkie could be considered that, but you don’t see much protectiveness over Pinkie.
 
Also, you people are ignoring the fact that this is a comic, so of course it’s exaggerative, but it’s pretty much true.

@Background Pony #C738
 
the reason why people like derpy aint because of her personality, its because she is mostly fan created and loved, and every appearance of her means the animators giving a nod to the fanbase.

Okay so this is pretty much saying “I THINK EVERYONE LIKES FLUTTERSHY MORE THAN EVERYPONY ELSE AND EVEN IF YOU WERE TO PROVE ME WRONG I WON’T LISTEN. I KNOW THAT IT IS STUPID AND UNNECESSARY FOR ME TO TYPE THIS BUT I’M DOING IT ANYWAYS”
 
Okay, lemme state something. Of course, there are gonna be a lot of people who’s waifu or whatever is Fluttershy. Just look at her personality: she’s cute, quiet, sweet, pretty, and caring. You could always just learn Japanese, I hear Japan likes Applejack in this way instead of Fluttershy (because she is so foreign for example), so you can read about a lot of people worrying about Applejack over Fluttershy for example. And of course, you have to think about this psychologically. Fluttershy is the most childish one of the group, of course the first reaction to most would be worrying about Fluttershy then the other cast members. It’s just human nature.
 
As for the other characters, I’m sure a lot of people for example were sad at that one scene in the season 4 premiere when Twilight cries over Princess Celestia looking like she almost died. I’ve never actually seen people mention Applejack as more of a bg pony but I’ve heard at least she was called this, but I’m pretty sure it was mainly a season 1 thing. But, I do agree that episodes with her not as a focus can be stronger than her as a focus. Just my opinion. As for Derpy, of course again human nature of sympathy; she’s childish and a little helpless. More people will react first to her, they can’t help it. And, I dunno, I’ve seen a lot of people really like Rarity too…
 
But anyways you have to remember, every person is a different person with different opinions and different personalities. It just seems like the trend is that the people who love Fluttershy and react to her first being hurt may be louder than anyone else, and I highly doubt they are actually ignoring the fact that the other ponies are hurt. Just because they don’t state it doesn’t mean they don’t think it.

@Background Pony #CE89
 
Because who the fuck cares, this is paranoid beyond belief, you are talking about equality in a fucking show about fictional horses.

@SmartyPants
 
well maybe that was kind of a stretch, but i doubt the number of people that love fluttershy are as high as people make them to be
 
(yes i knwo about the whole fluttershy is best pone competition, but i doubt more 50% of the bronies voted there)

@twistedmetalero  
Actually, Fluttershy does tend to get treated with excessive favoritism.

@twistedmetalero  
“every pony gets love and hate equally”
 
That’s debatable, but I’ll drop it before I go too far :X

@Background Pony #CE89
 
completely right in what?
 
every pony gets love and hate equally, over here i see as much fluttershy “meh, she aint that interesting” as much as “applejack is best pone”

Why the fuck are people downvoting this? The artist is completely right.

@Background Pony #0785
 
atleast in /pol/ you know what to expect.
 
in tumblr you get slapped with politically correctness when just browsing for funny shit.

@SourceRabbit  
>Implying /pol/ is better

@Background Pony #0785  
This

The only one that really brought me back to memory lane was the Applejack panel.
 
Background character? Hahahaha no
 
And Derpy is worst pony.

Well.
 
Glad I’ve been heading in the opposite direction.

This brings up an interesting point. A completely disproportionate number of bronies seem to worship Fluttershy to the point that they act like she can never do anything wrong.

@Background Pony #0785

@twistedmetalero  
The Artist, because I assume you wanted to refer to the artist, is actually a woman.
