Frigid Winds and Burning Hearts/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Most Writers Are Human]]: A major problem some fans have with the story is that the writer injects human mindsets and beliefs into a world where there shouldn't be, such as sexism against women despite being a female dominated world.

** He also seems to have a hard time understanding the more supernatural elements of the show and [[Blue And Orange Mortaly]]. For example Discord is merely just an evil tyrant rather than a god of chaos who did everything [[For the Lulz]] and Windigos are missing for his retelling of Equestria's founding.

** The character whose defining trait is her speed, no less.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: The only reason why Rarity isn't "a model feminist" (in her own words) is because she runs her own dress making shop, it seems. At least, according to career soldier Storm Cloud. Rarity only seems to agree with her point of view on her profession in order to drive home her overall point: {{spoiler|that she ''chose'' to become a dressmaker instead of taking her cutie mark's meaning (finding gems) at face value and becoming a miner or something that more precisely fits. She didn't see her destiny as set in stone, but uses her talents to support a career she ''really'' enjoys}}.

*** Which is leading to more [[Unfortunate Implications]] as the writer is also trying to make him into an anti-villain by removing most or his horrible actions: so women (or mares) can be flawed and make poor decisions, but men (or stallions) can't and don't.

** Chapter 9 outright states that the [[Armies Are Evil|Royal Guard care nothing about the civilians they're supposed to protect.]]

** Any responsibility male characters hold is downplayed or blamed upon women.

*** Braveheart's assault on Sweet Apple Acres is blamed on ''Applejack'' being arrested and spilling the beans.

*** Chapter 11 has Braveheart being [[Easily Forgiven]], while Luna isn't.

*** Chapter 13 sees Applejack ''apologize to Braveheart''. Remember this is the person who threatened to ''burn her home with her family inside it.''

* [[Villain Sue]]: Braveheart, whose abusive behavior wasn't [[Start of Darkness|kick-started]] by {{spoiler|the tragic rioting deaths caused by Nightmare Moon's return}}, merely 'justified' by it. So apparently witnessing a tragedy makes it okay to be a sexist racist who abuses his authority, makes false accusations, and threatens innocents with [[Cold-Blooded Torture]] to 'bring them into line'.

** [[Suetiful All Along]]: as of chapter 13
