To make a sweeping generalization here, furry fans make shitty art and unfunny comics.

What, more than can be accounted for by Sturgeon's Law?

On another note, what I don't get is what sparks the "hate" reaction rather than the "ignore" one.

Because it feels like they're intruding (ruining) on yet something else remotely related to animals.

Favorite meme and/or fan based joke from the show: Dash's "Ten Seconds Flat" and "20% more coolness"

Huh. I don't think I ever saw "ten seconds flat" used memetically before.

Well, yes, but more importantly, in the shot of Rainbow Dash's house...it looks like he interior has some nice Greek-styled stonework...inside a cloud. How does it stay up?

Perhaps it's clouds styled to look like stonework?

The Greek stuff seems to be common among pegasi, the dress Rarity made for Rainbow had a kind of ancient Greek motif.

I would object to this, but...

...yeah, that's 100% true.

...And yeah, Dash seems to be a fan of the Greek. What with all the house and the dress and...

Yes, actually. My experience indicates shitty self-insert O Cs and crappy art are consistently more common in furry fan art of this show, and this isn't limited to this particular show, either. The "hate" reaction (though I would describe it as annoyance, at least on my part) occurs instead of the "ignore" one because it's pretty hard to avoid seeing such things when browsing fan art or having things linked to you.

They're probably referencing the fact that Pegasus came from Greek mythology.

I was thinking more greek love, but Dashie is a chick so it doesn't quite apply....

I guess that makes a little more sense than Dash being a fan of Greek architecture.

But I like the idea of Dashie fangirling over spartans, soooo....

Not alwaaaaaays!

Well...I guess it depends on how you define introverted.

I've a feeling we tend to emphasize with Fluttershy quite a bit as well.

Glad you could share your opinion then, did you have anything else to add?

The pictures and videos I've seen while lurking were hilarious and Celestia's beard was epic.
