Pretty homosexual.
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.
No no no, the reasons red and black Alicorns are so despised are several:
1. The color scheme itself is unnecessarily dark, gritty and edgy. It's so out of place, and the color scheme itself has been used so often that it has become the Call of Duty of pony color schemes. Dark colors can be done right, just look at Twilight, Luna and Sombra. Hell, dark colors can even work on OCs. This wouldn't be so bad if not for...
2. Red and black OCs are almost always poorly written. Between a half-assed attempt at a tragic backstory, being the "must powahful poneh in oll uf Ekwestriuh dat cannut be defetehd", the writing intelligence of Tommy Wiseau crossed with Uwe Boll, and just generally sticking out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way like Discord or Sombra.
3. Lack of creativity. Unless it's a satire of OCs of the same vein or the curious rarity of good red-black characters, you can tell the quality of the writing just by looking at the character. Holy friggin' hell, I cannot stress this enough...
8101002 As a local Edgelord and the creator of Foxfire and Writhing Ember, I am inclined to agree. (Also, you forgot to mention Tirek and Chrysalis; they too sport dark color schemes.) Me and Patient are both aware of this. Painfully aware.
That said, it doesn't stop us from writing chapters for this fic. We're more or less exploiting how poorly-written red-and-black alicorn edgelords tend to be, and that's coming from someone who has previously written such a character before.
Let's be 100% honest here. Every red and black alicorn deserves everything you do to them in these stories. And I haven't even read it yet.
This is also from a guy who wrote a story with a red and black alicorn in it (I'll point it out if you wanna go make fun of it and the prequel :p

Agreed. Fluttershy Wants in Your Pants covered this quite well. If you meet an OC Edgelord Alicorn, have something to end it quickly and effectively for the good of all that is sacred.

10453348 But where's the fun in ending the alicorns quickly? We can't have drama in the story otherwise :DDDDDDDDDD

The fun is killing the ungodly red and black abominations with fire immediately after weakening them with a sawn-off shotgun to the face.
