it’s a tough one ain’t it? people want to the story to flesh out flash’s characterization but people don’t want precious minutes being devoted to him. an official comic might be a solution but then some people don’t consider the comics canon so, people will still get upset no matter the choice but leaving flash as is is the worst possible outcome (for him at least).

I’d imagine the writers are in a tough place when it comes to Flash. Now on one hand, you have people who dislike him for not having much character, and yet is paired with Twilight. On the other hand, giving him character development would require him to show up more in some form which would piss of the same people. Probably more than a little annoying.
 
“Ever read a fan fiction where someone’s boring/stupid OC or self-insert human gets one of your favorite characters to fall for him on first sight because he’s just sooooo awesome?”
 
You see here’s where a lot of people who dislike Flash lose me. He didn’t gain her attention for being awesome. It’s not that he has a guitar, a car or what have you. It’s that he helped her out when she was in a time of need. He’s also a big spaghetti goof like she is. And to place devil’s advocate here, what has Twilight done to earn Flash’s affection? Why must their relationship be built upon proving one’s worth to the other in the 1st place? Have you ever had a mutual crush? Not much is required, especially if the other person feels the same way. Does Rarity need a reason for all of her crushes? Does Celestia need a reason for becoming infatuated with good Sombra apart from he’s a good guy, whom she can also find herself attracted to?
 
Honestly I’m indifferent to their mutual infatuation. I personally could live without him getting more screentime than is necessary because I wouldn’t want episodes devoted to that. However, I also do not mind the small amount of screen time he does have, which does have it’s place. When it comes to Flash, his really vocal detractors are much more annoying then his maybe 3 minutes of collective screentime.

I agree with Your points except the one about fan fiction, I enjoy this kind of stories :3

@steve the hammerhead
 
Twilight = A good character with a likable personality
 
Flash = A dull cardboard cutout of a character who Twilight only likes for superficial reasons
 
Ever read a fan fiction where someone’s boring/stupid OC or self-insert human gets one of your favorite characters to fall for him on first sight because he’s just sooooo awesome? This is essentially the same thing. Most of the people who hate Flash (other than those who are just jealous because Twilight is their waifu) do so because they don’t really think he has earned any of Twilight’s affection.

@Tyler_Cunn  
“distracted by the sexy” trope

Why do people hate flash? I want a legitimate answer. Because from what I see is a lot people butthurt over a fake character likeing another fake character.

…what?

i think this reason why she can’t make the counter-spell works better than pressuring herself to make one.

Meh. That one is tagged “safe” too.

@Force_0f_Matter  
Yet another guy who don’t gets the meaning of term waifu.

@Neutral.V  
This guy has the right idea!  

@BigMax  
That probably should be spoilered, since this is a “safe” image.

@Tumblr Feminism Is A joke  
Until it becomes canon.  
MWAHAHAHA!

Good thing this never happened and never will. Flashlight will remain in the current level of nothingness.

All jokes aside, if this stuff annoys people just hide the “Flashlight” tag and you’ll never have to deal with it again

@TheAntiCat  
The lack of dickbutt….is disturbing.

@Background Pony #9369
 
Well to be fair the whole Flash thing was stupid in the first movie, at least they turned it back a couple notches in the second one…

@Background Pony #43F4  
Basically that everyone who believes EqG is even acceptable, much less good, needs to leave, though with ruder language and typical 4chan-ese.

@Background Pony #43F4  
Anti-EqG Drama bait.

I’m a little curious what that aperture person said before removed.

Lol
