There are no haters. You are paranoid. Well, you are an Applejack hater as it seems.
 
Those polls are from Equestria Daily with 5k and 35k votes. Not some random site…  
The first poll was directly who is your favorite(4th), the second was who was the best in s02(3th).
 
Twilight is an interesting character. Pinkie Pie is an interesting character. Fluttershy is an interesting and adorable character.  
Rainbow Dash is just an ordinary athlete character. Just like AJ is an ordinary farmer girl character.
 
You are applaying double standard. This is why your explanation is just… Useless. That’s not logic. You miss the whole other side and biasing “your side” to look better than it is. That’s just fanboying. You are playing an imaginary AJ vs RD duel, where no arguments needed. You declare a win for yourself no matter what and this makes somehow RD the best. Of course, only for you… But if that makes you happy, do it!

Polls aren’t a solid proof of her place on top best list. There are hundreds of such polls, and in many she’s on the top, so you were shamelessly cherry-picking and chose polls where she had less votes than usual. Perhaps, amount of votes for every pony depends on the site’s userbase, so for each site and poll results are different. Just because a bunch of random people, most of who only didn’t choose her because they find another pony more fun to see on the screen (which has nothing to do with real definition of “best pony”), voted on 2 random polls out of hundreds of others doesn’t define her place in best pony hierarchy in slightest, not to mention that a couple of months later voters from those polls might change their mind, and in the next poll they’ll vote another pony. By the way, why did you suddenly put her on the 4th place if the second poll says she’s 3rd best and both say AJ is the worst? You’re even contradicting your own flawed logic trying to prove she’s not the best and hoping I won’t pay attention to all of your fuck-ups. Both you and #D773’s arguments are absolute nonsense. I’ve explained you why she’s the best in details, and if you would’ve been smart enough, you’d understand that I’m right.
 
She’s just the best, no matter how much you try to change that, and that’s an unarguable fact.

(Of course, you may continue writing nonsence in futile attempts to prove anything other than utter idiocy of all Rainbow Dash haters and Craplejackass fanboys, but I’m done with teaching pigs how to fly.)

Yes, RD has both significant flaws AND positive traits, and that and other stuff I’ve mentioned in my previous comment is what makes her an interesting, well-developed character.  
Crapplejackass has no flaws and her positive traits don’t make her any less of a boring, generic piece of shit. :^) Of course, you don’t even know what “character development” is, since Crapplejerkers like you have negative IQ and can’t even use basic logic.

“RD’s character has flaws, therefore she is the best!”  
“AJ’s character has no flaws, therefore she is the worst!”  
This is genuinely the best argument rainbowfags have to offer.
 
Furthermore: “AJ has no character flaws at all!”  
top heh

I’m neutral. I pointed out that your view is absolutly subjective and biased. I wrote everything about RD, you wrote nothing new…
 
RD is 3. and 4. by popularity. Because her fans are the “I’m faster than you” gamers.  
Cliche. In case of RD the loyality isn’t so obvious. This is why is there a joke about giving the loyality to Applejack because she is loyal unconditionally. The element of loyalty (would be RD) is loyal just last minute. When there is no more choice. And she gets the element of honesty, because she clearly says in your face that she doesn’t give a f*** about anything. She is mean. Well, she really never learns. Mare Do Well, etc…  
She shares boat with Spike in this case. There is no way out from this role for RD.
 
AJ’s flaw was that she was headstrong about doing things on her own. “Applebuck season”. She learned the lesson.
 
I wrote everything about Applejack. Also her positive traits. What do you mean by special?  
Strength maybe? Empathy, care and wisdom? Family values?
 
Switching places… Sure… From 6. to 4. maybe? The best is subjective, and RD is far from that. No need drama. :)
 
I just thought that you are interested in characterization. But you are more in quacking your own thoughts. You really just try to biasing the things, you know. Typical fan role. Well, that’s not so bad, just boring.

“They told me that I’m writing bullshit, but I didn’t listen!”  
She’s not just a “stupid competitor”. She’s a character that stands out amongst hundreds of other cocky, competitive characters. She’s loyal, brave, strong-willed, never-giving-up, tough, self-exacting and decisive. These are her major pros that make her an excellent friend. But yet she can be self-centered, lazy, stubborn, harsh, hot-headed. Those are her cons, and because of them she often gets herself and others into trouble. She has both great positive and negative traits. That’s what I’ve meant when I said that she’s an outstanding character. Yet, she finds the power to struggle with her bad side. As the show goes, she changes, grows as a character, and each season prepares a new challenge for her so that she learns a new lesson that will affect her further development.  
This is what you call a decent writing. For that reason, both people who like characters for their outer appearance/actions and people who pay attention to writing like her, making her one of the most popular MLP characters of all time.  
Perhaps, even if she was as much of a douche as you think her to be, she’d still be better than bland, plain, featureless Crapplejackass who’s liked by dunces like you for her lack of flaws and generic “relatable” personality. Yes, she has nothing-special positive traits, but what protagonist doesn’t have them? The problem that she doesn’t have major flaws, or to be exact, she doesn’t seem to have any at all. There’s literally nothing outside of the “western cowgirl” stereotype. The only change she got since season 1 is more screentime. It seems like writers try to make her appealing towards fans that aren’t too well-versed and would fall in love with her only for being nice to Twilight and defeating Chimera.
 
So if you think that RD isn’t a good character, that AJ doesn’t suck rotten lemons or prefer the latter over the former, you can as well stop watching the show. Or at least stop communicating with fans who have a head on their shoulders and taking part in discussions like this one. Not only you blatantly tried to switch RD’s and AJ’s places in the best character hierarchy based on your emotional bias without backing your shit up, you wrote down just the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever seen on that topic. I’m not sure if you were trying to kill all the brain cells of people reading this thread in a twisted attempt to win the argument, or are just plain ignorant. Doesn’t matter. One thing is known for sure - no matter how hard you try, your Crapplejackass fanboy pea-brain won’t be able to generate a comeback even remotely amusing, not to mention strong, for me, so continuing to talk to you is a total waste of time.

Really? The family life is more realistic.  
Because the “stupid competitor” is not generic. If the writers give a line to RD, that’s a short egoistic or a short stupid line. Head against the wall. She hasn’t much role in the issues.
Background Pony #53E8
@Background Pony #93DF  
Doesn’t change the fact that RD acts more like an actual person, has realistic flaws and is an actually outstanding character. AJ is as flat as a cardboard cutout compared to her and will melt into the crowd of background ponies. She’s just generic, that’s all.
 
Give up your attempts to defend worst ponies, bro. There’s no newbies for you to fool. Writing more logical fallacies will only make you look laughable.
Background Pony #4CB8
@Background Pony #F014  
Well, there is more.  
AJ is headstrong and she has the competitive spirit. She is athletic. And she is one of the best bakers. :)
 
That isn’t less traits than Rainbow Dash’s.
 
RD’s character is around the “I’m fast flyer” thing, AJ’s character is around the “I’m a farmer family pony” thing.
 
In nutshell RD is the “born as fast but stupid” character and she also stranded at this level in the show.

Because obviously these are ALL of them.
 
Look, if you are so dumb or incapable/unwilling of giving it a fair shot, which you obviously are, just stop bothering other people with your ideas. No one is going to treat you seriously.
 
Besides, your opinion doesn’t matter in the slightest because an unsupported and erroneous view of a random anon doesn’t change the fact that Dash is a great character.

This is absolutely the laziest attempt to put RD in a bad light I’ve ever seen.  
Citating #93DF’s comment: “Rainbow Dash is fast, agile, reckless, obligation-free, loyal(but it is always tested and it is not clear or obvious first), lazy, wayward, backward, uppity, self centered, and fast again. She works at the weather factory, she is a Wonderbolts reservist, and her dream is being famous as the rainboom maker, which is her congenital talent.”

Give them a break…It’s must be not easy realizing that Dash is in every way superior to your favourite pony…;)

This also shows that AJ has less character traits than RD, therefore is blander. That’s why people always like the latter more (unless they’re hipstards who like all things boring :P).
