Still don't understand why Red and Black is hated so much...They are just colors...apply them on characters just give said characters a red and black color, not pretty but it is what it is. Bad writing is the fault of the writers, not the color.

7282947 Many writers choose red and black for a cool factor, and edge (I blame Shadow for kickstarting the trend, and Sombra for furthering it.)

Many red and black ponies are, sadly, written poorly. I'm not sure if it's coincidental or not.
