About

Rainbow Dash Saluting refers to an exploitable image featuring the character Rainbow Dash from the Hasbro animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic standing to attention and giving a salute. It is often superimposed on top of images of various flags.

Origin

The original still frame (shown below) featuring Rainbow Dash saluting was taken from the seventh episode of the first season of MLP, Dragonshy.^[1] In the scene, Rainbow Dash performs the gesture in response to a patriotic remark by Twilight Sparkle.

Spread

The first example of the fad to be submitted to Derpibooru, a MLP image hosting site, was uploaded on January 24th, 2012.^[2] It features a communism-themed background with filter effects. Versions of the exploitable image featuring other ponies from the franchise striking the same pose have also been created (examples below).
