Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Starlight would be embarrassed about liking kites?

As hobbies go, it's pretty innocuous. It's not like she said she likes torturing her friends to death and sewing an outfit out of their cutie marks, or anything.

Although her bashfulness regarding her hobby was cute, and made me like her more. So maybe I shouldn't rock the boat.

Ten steps behind the rest of us, as usual, Posh.

She didn't mention what the kite material was made of though.

Dun dun dunnnnnn...

Lots of headcanons about the stigma of kite-flying in Equestria. :B

Omigosh, Posh. Don't tell me you're one of those kite-flyer sympathizers. Think of the foals!

After that episode I tried to think of ways that kite flying could be considered... lude.

I could only come up with two.

Kite flying:

Is all about sending an object over which you have complete control out into an environment over which you have no control. This is exactly what Starlight was doing with her town--taking complete control of a place and the ponies in it, then setting that place out into Equestria at large. Kite flying scratches the same itch for power in Starlight, and she hates that she loves it so much.

Not that I identify with this character at all or anything...

4587431 Everyone knows kite flyers are just perverts who use it as an excuse to ogle low-flying Pegasi.
