Poll: Does Rainbow Dash Like Girls?

[Bek359]

Aww, mother FUCK. Not this Tinky Winky horseshit again.

 

[intheweeds]

Ahem, here thee here thee! All persons believing that Rainbow Dash is a lesbian is hereby decreed WRONG by (her majesty) Lauren Faust herself:

"Rainbow Dash has rainbow-striped hair because of her name and because she is very interested in sports, specifically flying. She is a tomboy, but nowhere in the show is her sexual orientation ever referenced. As we all know, there are plenty of straight tomboys in the world, and assuming they are lesbians is extremely unfair to both straight and lesbian tomboys."

Here is my source: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/12/24/my-little-non-homophobic-non-racist-non-smart-shaming-pony-a-rebuttal/

Note that she doesn't say Rainbow Dash's sexual orientation (and really, does it matter?), simply that no one should assume she is automatically a lesbian. Just because the female to male ratio in Equestria is 9:1, that doesn't mean every mare is a lesbian. So I advise this little tip to live by: Rainbow Dash is not a lesbian unless it aids the joke, story, or Shipping thread. Can we all just agree on this? Please?

EDIT: fixed

I think we should agree to stop trying to nail it down. Some little straight tomboys will love her and if some young questioning gay girl wants to think she's gay, then better for her too.

Personally, I think she is, but I'm gay so I want to believe that. We should let it remain a mystery, though.

Rainbow Dash is a tompony. Nothing against lesbians, but I'm tired of everypony trying to see homosexuality behind every character; I know it's a big social issue right now, but that doesn't mean everypony is suddenly gay. Stop trying to insert it everywhere. Especially in a show that has nothing to do with romance or sexuality and is aimed at little kids; there's just no point.

If you're talking about that song...it's not really my thing

Now, if you're talking about Rainbow Dash, the pony, and her sexual orientation....that's a bit different.
She could, she could not.
I thought she might be a guy at first...
Honestly I think she's whatever you want her to be...and thinking of her as a lespony...that's kinda hot...

 

[Slayer_2]

This thready confuses me so much...

 

[Cain_Zeros]

But this is a show.

A cartoon.

About Ponies.

Aimed at a target audience of 8-14 year old girls.

Has anyone ever though that maybe, just maybe.... that girls aged 8-14 think rainbows are pretty?

Psh, bringing rational thought into a discussion about sexuality of characters who've given no indication one way or the other because it doesn't matter...

 

[Greatjusticeman]

Why is it that some of you are debating on whether or not a character that is from a TV show intended for girls under the age of 10 is a lesbian or not.

I mean, come on....what the fuck?

 

[Mcupobob]

Yes... Or no.. Whatever the hell makes you happy. I'm going to go grab myself a couple mikes and drink intill this thread makes sense.

Because, politics is boring. The war in the middle east is just something were going to have to accept. If global warming is real were fucked anyways. The economy? That shit so sad its not even worth discussing. Morality, philosophy, art, or literature has already been done.

What this world needs is come together right now! and decide once and for all, is rainbowdash a lesbian? It is the only way to achieve world peace. We've tried everything else dammit!!

Or it could be its 2 am on a Friday night and we got nothing better to do. Oh well.

 

[Durgiun]

She's a lesbian. Rule 34 has spoken.

 

[Flizzick]

Unless she outright states her sexual orientation on the show, I'm not believing any theories. The fanfics can speculate as much as they want, it still doesn't make it true.


Besides, would an episode exploring sexuality really make anyone happier? This show is about friendship, not dating or intimacy.

 

[Moeez]

To someone from the outside (I don't know why I clicked this thread), you people are talking in a different language.

When did grown ass people get into such a kiddy cartoon? Or does it have adult jokes or themes, like Ren & Stimpy, Batman, Animaniacs, or Adventure Time?

 

[00slash00]

i think this awesome remix pretty much answers the question

 

[Dystopia]

People should keep these horse discussions to their own thread or something because it is very weird that people are talking about the sexual orientation of a cartoon animal and it clearly angers other escapists.

I'm also amused at she sheer lack of grammatical knowledge in this thread.

This. Me, I'd peg Rarity or Fluttershy as a lesbian.

Actually, I'd only peg Rarity as a lesbian. Fluttershy I kind of read as being asexual.

To be honest I can see them all being pan-sexual because of the female to male ratio. However Rarity would seem the least likely because of her love for stallions such as Prince Blueblood. Fluttershy is almost impossible to tell because she could just be a socially awkward mare that might burst with love if she just meets the pony of her dreams. IMO of course.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that Blueblood guy. You can tell how much of an impression he made on me.

 

[For.I.Am.Mad]

Pfft, and you guys call yourselves bronies. You need to pay attention to the clues Studio B gives you. There's some serious shit going on in Ponyville.

 

[rayen020]

always felt the rainbow signified something. also just kind of her mannerisms set off my gaydar. maybe she is maybe she isn't. probably not gonna be an episode about it though...

 

[Muspelheim]

You can hold allegiance to both sides and gain the most benefits, can you not?

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

I don't freaking know.

She hasn't done anything to say she swings one way or another. Anything that states her sexual orientation is strictly fan-made.

The closest thing to canon you'll find is this picture, and is a single freeze-frame which is TOTALLY out of context.

Spoiler: Don't ask me why I know this picture exists
