Can't say I'm surprised.

Tales from a Double Date currently has four downvotes. I suspect this is due to spite towards Flash Sentry.

Cripes, people. Get over it. He's not worth the hate.

I noticed this myself as well.

There's just no reasoning with some people, sadly. I know the phrase "haters gonna hate" is an old, old meme, but I think the thrust of it applies pretty well to this situation. There are people out there who just won't let go of a grudge or a perceived slight, no matter how irrational or minor it is.

Equestria Girls came out, what, eight years ago now? That there are some people still bent out of shape over Flash "stealing Twilight" is simultaneously depressing and perversely fascinating.

I know! Who was he 'stealing' her from exactly? The fanboys? And considering the relationship went nowhere and the poor guy never got adequate development...seriously, Flash got a bad rap.

It's kinda interesting that there wasn't nearly this much backlash to Pinkie Pie ending up with Cheese Sandwich in the finale. Hell, I think that was probably the bit that met with the least controversy. Gotta love the hypocrisy.

He did, the poor bastard. I got some plans to do some stories with him that I think could be interesting and give him some room to work with, but yeah... the entitlement was strong with the fanboys, and that sunk everything for him.

I quite agree. It DOES seem QUITE unfair to dislike the guy THAT severely - ESPECIALLY when there are FAR worse individuals out there (not just in the MLP multiverse, but ESPECIALLY in real life).
