Again, that all revolves around social situations which isn't the same thing as imagining actual danger. Fluttershy's behavior in Putting Your Hoof Down actually made sense because she's been picked on her entire life and was given advice that seemed like it would magically fix it all. This episode pushed that aspect of her character way further than it ever has been. Characters have limits; just because characters have a trait doesn't mean that they have an infinite amount of it. The writers can't just make her do anything no matter how stupid it is and then justify it by saying "She's always been timid! She was timid before, and she's timid in this episode, so it's exactly the same thing!" Like, a person who's irritable wouldn't suddenly snap and kill everyone because they stepped in dog crap, and a person who's a worrywart wouldn't suddenly become a hypochondriac and lock themselves in their house. Do you also think that Pinkie Pie in Filli Vanilli and Wonderbolts Academy was fine because because it was based on traits she technically always had? Again, how much is too much?
