Truthfully I hear as many people defending Rainbow Dash as I do hating her. She's a jerk, but the show doesn't sugar coat it like they do with some others.

I think it's just a Vocal Minority thing. Every character has groups of haters, and they tend to be more vocal than the groups like that are ambivalent.
@Dalek I don't know much about that fandom, even though I am a fan of the books.
Oh and let's not forget the supposed all-out war between Rainbow Dash fans and Twilight Sparkle fans.

@I love how stunned even Pinkie is at that revelation. The way her eyes scanned over the article is one of my favourite images from that episode

Everything's been done. Everything is meaningless. You life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

I never heard of this supposed war.
I admit there are maybe a few connections. As mentioned earlier, Twilight is nicer but occasionally gets her flawed moments sugarcoated a little (eg. Lesson Zero) while RD is more of a jerk but tends to get them banged into her head at full throttle. It's not really enough to consider either unlikeable though.
I think Pinkie needs an intervention.

I still love the way she silently smacks her lips

@Ginger: Yeah, that episode was funny, but seriously "Rainbow tried to drown the CMC"? What kind of world do these people live in? Is this some planet where water is some deadly substance? Oh no! She poured dihydrogen monoxide on them!

Yep. Definitely love the little details as celestia prepares to dive into a delicious cake... And then Pinkie eats it. ALL OF IT. (And ginger rages)
Seemed like they were playing into that whole 'Celestia loves cake' thing after Ponyville Confidential.
No, Princess Celestia, you gimmie that cake.
No! You can't have any!!!!
Nyehhehmmeheh MEEHHHM!!!

It's news to me, too.
I'll try to see it from their perspective... umm... The rain looks like one three-dimensional sheet of water so it's like the ocean was flipped upside down onto them? I DUNNO.

@Kyler When RD dumped a raincloud on the CMC in Ponyville confidential.
