• Once Original, Now Common: With the amount of Recursive Fanfiction following it, it quickly became a subject of this trope, to say nothing of countless fics that skip the philosophical debate to simply have the characters directly grapple with the possibility in a slew of "What if [X] was really a Changeling?" plots that star Fluttershy, Twilight, or other characters as the Changeling-in-hiding.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: Racial profiling and closet homosexuality are just two of the themes a lot of fans apply to Fluttershy's proposal.
