** The numerous ongoing plot threads, as detailed below under DarknessInducedAudienceApathy, either make all the going-ons of the comic too complex and annoying to follow, or make it intriguing and gripping. Of course, even people who believe the latter take some issue with it due to how long each comic takes to come out, requiring a fair bit of catching-up to remind oneself exactly what was going on last time when a new page is released.

** Billy turned into this over time. It starts off with him just being a JerkAss that [[RootingForTheEmpire some people liked,]] seeing as Rainbow wasn't being much better. However, when he overhears Rainbow and [[spoiler:Firefly]] getting close and lovey, he finds it absolutely hilarious and later tries to deflect all guilt when Gilda rightfully calls him out on eavesdropping. [[spoiler:Over the course of one chapter, he provokes Gilda into hitting him, plays himself up as the victim when she attempts to do so, makes her feel guilty, and works in several insults toward Rainbow - including what could easily be considered a homophobic remark - and starts actively trying to convince Gilda to cut ties with her. She lets this all go and even seems ready to have sex with him about two seconds later, after he makes a potentially hollow promise to give Dash another try at friendship.]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: At this point, basically everyone.
** Rainbow Dash is either a JerkAss who keeps getting hit with LaserGuidedKarma, or a ButtMonkey who's understandably frustrated at everything.
** Gilda is either a terrible friend to Rainbow, or a good friend to Rainbow who nevertheless gets annoyed with her (and prioritizes her relationship with Billy).
** Billy (and by extension, the other bullies as well) is undeniably a JerkAss who's just dicking with Rainbow ForTheEvulz, [[KarmaHoudini and has received no comeuppance besides a threat or two]]. The broken base is about whether this is old and annoying and people want him dealt with already, or if he's interesting and has a shot at redemption (and then there's the smaller broken base about whether or not he ''should'' be redeemed).
** Fluttershy, up until she got together with Brolly and promptly went OutOfFocus, was either TheWoobie or served no purpose except to be cute and draw sympathy. Nowadays people are either glad or upset that focus has shifted to Rainbow.



** Whether or not the comic should become its own thing as an "alternate universe" type deal[[labelnote:*]]to allow for the current relationships, romantic or not, to remain as they are[[/labelnote]] or eventually weld itself with the show's canon [[labelnote:*]]which would break up Rainbow/Firefly and Fluttershy/Brolly, and since Rainbow dropped out or was kicked out of flight school in the show's canon, presumably lead to a DownerEnding[[/labelnote]]. Supporters of the former don't want to see all these characters torn apart from each other for various reasons, supporters of the latter want to see how the author would lead things from their current state to the one the show provides.



* RootingForTheEmpire: For a while, people were on Billy's side, since Rainbow was being a JerkAss herself. Subverted after a while, since even though people still like him, good luck finding anyone who actually wants him to come out on top against Rainbow.
