Oh yeah, that.

It truly is amazing how much the writing staff seem to hate RD, isn't it? What with all the abuse they throw her way.

[up] He thinks it's overpowered and it annoys him (and me to a lesser extent)

[up] Well yeah I know he doesn't like it, I was just wondering how it applied to it's just a kids show.

And I spent ages arguing down the Sonic Rain Nuke's power for naught I see.

How is it overpowered? All it knocked down was one barn that had already had the snot beaten out of it.

[up][up][up]I don't think you can say that they hate Rainbow, considering how much screen time she has gotten this season compared to last. I would wait until the next episode to say anything about her "abuse".

[up][up]I think he is applying Fanon Discontinuity in a somewhat odd way.

[up] Given that almost all of that screen time has been showing her in a bad light, it's easy to say that she is being given abuse.

It's easier to draw humor related abuse from someone reckless and impulsive because they easily bring it upon themselves.
I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

Dash can cause massive rainbow coloured explosions by flying into stuff and not get injured in the blast...it just bugs me.

I'm sorry I brought it up. Let's talk about something else.

So, did we agree that EP magic makes food mature instantly?

@Bad Hence why I said it annoys me "to a lesser degree" waii

Right now, I'm fine with it, I would only start to get annoyed if it was brought up in an AJ vs RD debate

[up][up][up][up]Yeah, pretty much that. It is easier to do those kind of jokes with RD because we are less likely to feel sorry for her.

[up][up]Considering that she has probably attempted suicide in fanfics more then any other character. . .

[up][up] She's also the default target to be murdered or mindraped. You kinda have to feel bad for Fanon!Dash.

So....Ginger, you are not anoyed by the SRN but you ARE annoyed by the mass apple levitation?

actually, I'm trying to think exactly how much 'abuse' has happened to Dash.

There was her cider-blocking in the last episode...

not much happened to her in TLR, she was actually pretty badass...

MMDW nothing bad happened to her aside from her humiliating herself, but I suppose that may count...

May the Best Pet Win she got caught under a rock...

Nothing really jumps out at me as her being abused all that much, really.

@Mage Twi's powers in and of themselves will probably annoy me till the end of time. [lol]

@ Ginger: I'm not saying they can't grow them quickly or in conditions that other ponies couldn't, I'm just saying I don't think they can grow them instantly.

[up][up][up][up]If I may be honest I think it is mostly Dash fans complaining about her character being portrayed "badly", and that is as far as I am willing to take that.

[up]I never said I didn't say that I didn't feel sorry for her (cause I did), I'm just going by writer's logic for including that sort of gag with Rainbow Dash, because trust me, they would not do that with Fluttershy (at least not this show).

Ginger, would you rather Twilight have to sacrifice her ability to use magic so she can bring somepony back from the dead? (like Pinkie.)

...Actually, if something like that DID happen (one of the mane cast dying) I'm sure Twilight would do that in a heartbeat.

So it's sort of like how Ginger complains that AJ isn't as awesome as he wants, but on a larger scale?

Yeah, that makes sense. Though I will be honest, Dash does seem like a bit more of a jerk this season. IT may simply be a lack of focus, in the same vein that Pinkie feels like more of a simple joke when not in the limelight. When a character receives less focus their more prominent traits (in this case brashness and competitiveness) come through more powerfully.

I don't even think Dash is acting all that bad, really. [lol]
