How a Masturbating My Little Pony Can Help You

This is Fluttershy

She is most likely the most well loved of all the My Little Ponies.  She embodies the transcendent element of Kindness.  Her "job" is to care for all animals, with whom she has special gifts of communication and authority.  She is a Pegasus who is afraid of heights.  She is shy until she's around animals.  She has a deeply buried temper and, like all the ponies, she has had moments when she has lost her sanity in amusing ways.  

In porn, her prettiness and innocence seem to inspire aggressive sexual reinterpretations of her in clop.  She is frequently shown having sex with the one of the very few male ponies on the show, and is also coupled in a lesbian relationship with Rainbow Dash, one of the tomboy ponies.  Also, she's often interpreted as having very large breasts, and such incarnations are called "Hootershy".

An author using the name Mediarahan interpreted Fluttershy quite differently, and, I feel, in a way that sheds a light on MLP sexuality.

In her story, Fluttershy is suffering from depression, anxiety, and perhaps body dismorphia.  She is hiding in a closet masturbating, trying to keep her inner demons at bay until she can cum.  When I read it, I hadn't thought of Fluttershy as a character suffering through the same kinds of psychological problems as a contemporary young woman, but then again, why shouldn't she?  Fluttershy represents that female figure that is too shy to stand up for herself at times, and struggles with self-doubt.  It's completely logical that her sexuality should be as angst ridden.  I didn't find the story arousing, but it was interesting.  It seemed the purpose was to be a catharsis for the author rather than sexual relief.  Or, perhaps, sexual relief accompanied the catharsis.  And why shouldn't it?  Why should we assume that an orgasm must stand alone and not be tied psychologically into many elements---and many of those elements needn't be intrinsically sexual?
