So, this mean he's gay now? 'Cause last I checked, stallions were male horses.
That said, good lord. I'm not going to sift though all that jibber-jabber about how Rarity betrayed and dumped him. But he definitely feels like a true nutter.
He's just embracing the gayness now, yes. And, on a related note, I suspect I may have had something to do with Rarity 'turning her back on him.'
See, there was a time when, while he was with Rarity, he went off and had some gay fun with a male friend of his, and that worsened his self-loathing. I and another member of the community were friends with him at one point, and tried to help him accept his homosexuality so that he could stop torturing himself with these awful thoughts he was having. Of course he was responsible for being with Rarity when he knew he was homosexual, but homosexuality is completely natural, so as we tried to help him past his hatred for his cockhunger, the doubt he then possessed became Rarity's doubt, and then it basically fed itself until they broke it off.
I'd had conversations with friends in doubt about their issues with things they don't like about themselves all the time, including notions like homosexuality, and I always talk to people honestly, as a friend, with reason and evidence to support my claims, and thus them in their times of need, and not as a therapist. I never have tried to be a therapist, and I never will try to be a therapist, so when I say I tried to help him, I wasn't being an irresponsible person and making claims I wasn't qualified to make, I was being a friend. Tax thinks that he's entitled to help, and despite the assistance I tried to give him, he simply wouldn't try any of it or failed on every occasion. You can see it in the things he says: "
I deserve to be a part of this community because I founded it!" "
No one will recognize my overwhelming genius in the area of wine tasting, and offer me a better job! I shouldn't have to work for it!" "
Lurker withheld the secrets of ponylove from me! That vile, conspiring Jew wizard!"
I've never seen a case so far-gone as Tax's. Except for Jin's, of course.
Tax has also stated before that he desires not to change. Not that he
'doesn't desire to change,' which would imply that he's content where he is, but that he '
desires not to change,' which is basically saying that he outright refuses to seek help. Bear that in mind, it's important.
