>People who chose Pinkie Pie among their favorite characters were more likely than average to cosplay. They scored the highest on fanship (being part of the community), and scored the lowest on social anxiety. They were also more likely than average to disclose their MLP interests to others, and were more narcissistic than average.
Well, I sure am a narcissist and I have dressed up once or twice, but I'm definitely not a low scorer on the social anxiety scale. I do disclose my love of pone rather a lot though, since I have literally nothing else to lose in life. I'm probably one of the most easy people to make fun of even if I didn't like the horse show, so why bother hiding it if it's not gonna make a difference?

>People who chose Rarity among their favorites were the most likely to identify as both artists and cosplayers

I'm an artist, but I've never cosplayed.

I see a lot of myself in Rarity, but she also represents who I want to be in the future.

She's creative, smart, beautiful and ambitious. She inspires me to become a better person.
>>
>>28860819
I think many could relate to Luna early on with her being a pariah and outcast from society and many bronies felt the same way in today's society. That's also why I believe Sunset is second on that list. Similar reasons.

>>
>>28860799
I guess this is based on IDW/fandom Luna. I appreciate her contributions as character, but desu, she has so little screen time to show anything insightful about her that I refuse to believe all those guys are hanging on just two episodes (the halloween one and the tantabus one) to like her better Sunset or, hell, even Trixie.

>People who chose Luna among their favorite characters were among those who watched the show the least frequently – they were also the least likely to disclose their MLP interests to others. They scored among the highest in depression and were higher than average on anxiety, although they scored the lowest on narcissism. Finally, they were more likely than average to also be a member of the furry fandom.

The national STATE of moonfags rn.

Oh yeah. I relate to and admire Apple Bloom. The desperate search for self and finding her place, the anxiety and nightmares over loved ones leaving or disliking her, the way she gets really sad sometimes when things go wrong. I admire the way that even when she does get sad or scared, she always comes through and is truly brave, and I like how she easily understands others and is thoughtful enough to come up with solutions and always figure things out, and have joy in helping others. I'd like to be more like her, strong and friendly. I don't think I'd have liked her nearly as much as I do if not for season 5.

>Apple Bloom is less popular than Nightmare Moon
this shit is always fucking infuriating. What the fuck.

True. There's a lot fucked up and stupid about that chart, but what he brought up isn't one. The way one-shots and background characters are above highly developed CMC with multiple episodes is retarded, though. I don't know what this fandom has against the most developed and deep Crusader that fucking "Dr Hooves" is above her.

I don't know either Anon. I'm surprised Luna is still such a fan favorite in 2016 since shes had 2 episodes to herself. Also, I don't get why Flim and Flam each have different amounts. I can't even tell which one is which.

She appears in like 3 episodes and has 3 lines each and is written differently every time cause they never really bothered to give her a proper personality at all. I don't get you fucks, how can you unironically claim her to be your favourite character, it's so retarded. She's little more than a product of the fandom, she is little more than fucking Nyx or Snowdrop. Like when asked for your favourite pony from the show she should not even be a fucking consideration. Fuck. You fuckers.

Why does it bother people so much that some characters are more popular than others? Our favourite character tends to be the one we connect to and relate to the most. Why can't people just like the characters that want without people jumping up and saying 'But they have barely any episodes/development though!'
A character doesn't need loads of episodes/development for someone to be able to connect with them, you know...

>>28864623
I hear you desu. Applebloom is the patritian's (second to Pinkie Pie) choice.

Faggot13's sequel to the abused Sweetie Belle story made me love AB as another driven, friendly, and supportive pone.

Ever since I saw a picture and quick description of her back in 2012, Derpy was always my favorite. I think the reason I like her so much is because I see her as an idealized version of myself. A screwup and fool with a chipper and self-motivated personality. She messes up through her seemingly inherent clutch behavior but makes up for it in her kind and caring demeanor.

The main difference here is that I don't allow myself a redeeming quality and I'm horrifyingly stressed perpetually because I can't seem to please people in my home life. I have little self-worth because of it, despite recognizing it's the one I love with is emotionally manipulative. It's made being self-motivated all. It's pointless in the face of fearing that every choice I'll always make will be wrong.

Yeeeeah, that actually sounds about right, which is surprising. Although I am a pathological liar, I feel that's also another reason why she's my favorite, so I can strive to lie less even when I have no need to.

This study is a bunch of shit.

Note the repeated use of phrasing like "Scored higher than average", "Scored lowest", "Were among the most [X]" all of which are used without EVER telling us HOW MUCH higher/lower than the average each of these categories are or what the difference between the highest/lowest score for each trait actually is.

Text-book charlatanism.

It's like when those scientists published a study that said that internet trolls score high in the Dark Triad traits (Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy) when the amount of that they was less than half a standard deviation (i.e. not even remotely significant)
>>
Ok guys, this is fucking EPIC.
I used to have a work which I actually enjoyed and I had a good salary. I didn't read fiction at all. My favorite character was AJ.
THEN I became NEET because of reasons. I had a bit of depression. And I started reading a lot of mlpfiction and now I am writing my own fiction. And do you know who is my favorite character at the moment?
Yes, It's FUCKING TWILIGHT SPARKLE.
Statistics and ponies are THE REAL THINGS.

What I didn't like:
>Boringlight Misquetoastle being the most favorited
>Rarity being the least popular M6 and less popular than Luna. Ponyfags hate good characterization
>Luna being that popular despite having no personality
>Fucking Derpy should die already

What I liked:
>Spike is less popular than Big Mac. He's a cuck, he deserves to be shat on
>Celestia is where she should be, and Luna should there too
>Sunset is pretty popular, despite being movie exclusive. She should be on Luna's place, at least she has a real personality, it's not all fanon
>Starlight and Trixie are quite popular, they should be on Shimmer and Derpy's place, but this result is acceptable
>Almost no one cares about the CMC. Good, I never liked them either, they never do anything interesting
>>
>>28869259
Spike is a lot more popular than I expected though. It may go with this:

>"Those who chose a male character among their favorites were significantly more likely the male themselves. They were less likely than average to be artistic, although they were more likely than average to be bigger fans and to feel closer to the fandom itself."

Spikefags/Discordfags/Macfags confirmed best fans.

fuck me, enough with the labels. I'm shocked there weren't more people like me, who didn't identify with any fandom, any label, concealed their power level absolutely to everyone because it's deviant behaviour and there's no point in sharing it with anyone, and didn't give a shit about watching the show regularly.
