    So I've been in the Bronystate livestream and I saw that as soon as Twist came onscreen, everypony in the chat was like "SCREW TWIST" or "blank Twist!" or "I hate Twist!" Does anypony know why she's such a hated pony? I've never found a reason to hate her, in fact, she's one of my favorite ponies that's not Mane 6 or CMC. Sorry if this has already been done.

    I like Twist, she's cute, and her voice makes me laugh. Not sure why people hate Twist.

    It not that I hate her, she just isn't one of my liked ponies. She's just there to me.

    I have no idea why people hate her though. Guess we have to find a twist hater.

    No,
    You bring up a very valid point here.
    I simply do not understand some of the thing
    Some members of the fandom do.
    Of course their opinions are their own to have,
    But opinion should typical based and supported
    Off of reason or knowledge.
    The general dislike toward certain characters that member of the fandom sometimes show,
    I find them uncharacteristic to our fan base;
    Love and tolerance has to come from somewhere.
    Love and tolerance but doing so discriminately is no good.
    Twist specifically though?
    I honestly don't know.
    A pony's a pony;
    This one is rather geeky in personality.
    I would like to note that some people in the real world are too.
    Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you not interact with them.
    I can see why some people wouldn't like specific characters,
    But showing all out dislike towards them might hurt the feeling of people whom have a different viewpoint.

    Maybe they think she isn't a "cool" enough pony. Like she is a bad example of what ponies are. When you show someone MLP, you show them the mane 6. Perhaps they think she could scare off new bronies. I have no idea. I already said that to me she is just there, like the spa twins. I don't hate her and she isn't a favorite.

    It thought people didn't like her because of the way she sounds.

    Some people speak with an accent.
    Some with a lisp.
    It really doesn't matter,
    You're going to have to interact with and threat
    Them as you would anyone else.

    You can't just tell someone to go away because of the way they talk.
    ...
    Well, you could.
    But you'd be a jerk for doing so.
    (You refers to any face reading the post,
    Not someone specific).

    I never had a problem with the way she talks. She just never appealed to me as a character.

    Geesh, that seems so trivial, people are acting like she's on the same level as Silver Spoon or Diamond Tiara

    What's wrong with Silver Spoon or Diamond Tiara.
    The latter is my third favourite pony,
    The prior is indifferent to.

    Eh, it's probably the voice, but it doesn't really bother me. I personally think she's adorable! Part of me thinks she'll be the Pinkie Pie of her generation, so to speak. ;P

    Yeah, see, it's all just because of varying views and opinions. I mean, you earlier (and I say "you" because I can't recall your username and am, at the moment, too lazy to scroll up and see) compared her to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in a negative way. Some people like those two, just as some people like Twist, and the same goes for the opposite. Know what I mean? I never particularly liked any of them as they all annoyed me in one way or another, but I certainly don't hate them, and I understand that they each play their part in the story.

    I'd like to put out an apology for my earlier post in this thread, I was making a comment ripping on other ponies based on my opinion on them without regard for others who may be fans of the ponies, which was not showing Love and Tolerance, please forgive me.

    The only reason I could possibly conceive of is that Twist kind of dumped (apparently) Apple Bloom once she got her cutie mark.

    But I like her. She's cute, and her voice is adorable.

    Actually, hating, or referring to somepony with that kind of comments isn't against our community basic concepts? Twist gots against her that lisp, I supose twist haters would hate Big Mac for the same reason...

    In the long run, in fact, I am more annoyed or tired of Bic Mac's 24/7 eeyup and nope, but I'm not hating him.

    Didn't Mac actually say something in the newest episode. I swore I heard him say something besides those 2 words.
