Well, I can relate with Rainbow Dash here, despite the intentional comedy of the page.

Here's my problem with the cutie marks: the colors. People have argued with me that the same color of the cutie marks represent equality, which sounds totally racist, in a sense, to me - you can still live in equality and still have originality in the cutie marks.

After all, no one seems to be bothered by the fact the Main 6 have such distinct cutie marks yet still share the Elements of Harmony. I see no problem in applying this principle to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Heck, I thought the whole Crusaders thing was going to be supported by whatever individual destinies they had, not be their prime destiny.

The shields are just fine in representing what they mean together as Cutie Mark Crusaders, and I'm glad that this piece of the series has finally come around, but they really DO look like stickers.
