rainbow dash isnt lez

I agree with the message, but not with the idea Rainbow Dash is a lesbian.

@aloccin  
Watermelon and fried chicken are just what you eat at Summer family get-togethers in the Gulf Coast states; makin’ that into a race thing is somethin’ yankees do.
 
I really don’t see where you’re getting some kind of universal bigoted motivation from the very idea of mulleted rainbow lesbians; there are assholes who try to use it as a club to pummel people with, but they’re assholes, and this is a thing that actually happens. Trying to turn “this is a common thing among this community” into “EVERY SINGLE ONE OF ‘EM IS LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME BIBLE BIBLE WHITE POWER JEEBUS” is total assholery, sure, but it’s far enough away from a universal response that I really think you’re way off the mark here. If people seeing rainbow mullet and automatically adding “…lesbian” on as a suffix offends you personally, go ahead and be offended by it, but I really do not believe that it’s the overall offensive thing to everyone else that you’re trying to make it out to be.

>mullet dash  
im sorry but what? are we lookign at the same horse here?
 
and no, every ___phobic stereotype has its basis somewhere in reality  
people assuming im going to be a one of three types of ASSHOLE because i (have a / like) vagina is offensive no matter what way you string it  
oh yes here was a real-life gang of out lesbians at one point  
that doesn’t make the stereotype any less offensive  
gold-star lipstick lesbians really exist, and it doesn’t make the stereotype any less offensive  
rainbow haired queer punks really exist. it STILL does not make the stereotype any less offensive.
 
you wanna tell me “watermelon and fried chicken”s not racist? because that has its basis in reality too.

@aloccin  
Well, I’m dismayed that you’ve apparently given up on your promise never to use your psychic powers for personal gain by psionically determining the artist’s motivations, but how exactly do you figure that “brash chick + rainbows + mullet = lesbian” is a homophobic stereotype? Pretty sure it has its origins in Out queer culture during the rise of Punk in the ’70s.

@TexasUberAlles  
the whole idea of rainbow dash being a lesbian has no basis in canon and rides only on homophobic stereotypes  
they chose her for a reason  
look at the rest of the set

@aloccin  
That’s… not actually happening here? It’s a slogan with an angry Rainbow Dash, not a rash generalization of all lesbians everywhere.

>“homophobia is never ok”  
stereotyping lesbians as butch rainbow-haired assholes is homophobia, friendo B)

This image brings about much thought over the orgin of a message and it’s intended effect.

@TexasUberAlles  
Yes, agreed. There’s a reason RD has so many lesbian fans… myself included.

Straight pride? I would have some; then I look in the mirror.

Please don’t be another one of those “straight pride” BS arguments…

Respect is a two way street. It is hard to respect a group when said group is attacking yours. This is one of the major problems with feminism, MRA, NAACP, and so on. Most of it has very little to do about equality and fair treatment, and more about finger pointing. Ie. if people think it’s okay to be gay, then it should therefore be great to be straight.

@Background Pony #4EEA  
Homophobia is never okay. You’re overly emotional and it is disgusting.

Gay culture slamming and harassing heterosexuals for being straight is NEVER OK. It’s bullshit, endless, obsessive propaganda like this that makes me want to punch the artists head in….

How many of these things are their going to be? Can’t they just ban them so they can stay on Their tumbler Wasteland where they belong.

@DanielTepesKraus  
There’s a difference between acknowledging that certain kinds of people tend to adopt certain styles of personal fashion and using those broad tendencies as an excuse to be an ass about it. At this point the cultural saturation of the “brash + mullet + rainbows = lesbian” meme is complete enough that any woman of any orientation who adopts such a personal style is aware of what other people are going to think of it, abd presumably is either hoping for that reaction or just doesn’t give a damn.
 
Dash has always read as lesbian to me because she reminds me a lot of one of my lesbian cousins. If you’d rather assume that a lack of talking about relationships in a kids’ show means everyone is hetero by default, that’s your business.

I have a thing for mouthpieces. The stupidity…it’s almost hypnotic. Also uploading something doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with the message. I mean, yeah, I agree that homosexuals shouldn’t be hated on for what they are (who they are on the other hand…), but I also doubt the entire Rainbow Dash is gay thing as well.

I’m gay and even I think you’re a crackpot for uploading this.

@Cayne  
That’s because most sjw hold double standards and are quite big hypocrites when it comes down to their beliefs.

But apparently stereotyping homosexuals is a-okay.

@Background Pony #F2DC  
I kinda agree
