I just really, really hope that it won't end like so much other episodes where Rarity is always the bad one for the fandom. Like in Putting your hoof down where everyone seemed to hate Rares because she "seduced" that geeky pony out of his asperagus ( She made him feel good and even paid his money back, dammit!), but Pinkie basically cheating that salespony out of half his money was completely fine for them.

Or in Sisterhooves Social, where everyone says that is was completely Raritys fault what happened. Sweetie and their parents where doing nothing wrong...

Or Sleepless in Ponyville, where everybody hates on Rarity because Sweetie pulls her stuff, completely ignoring that Rares was incredibly sweet to Sweetie for the rest of the episode, and ignoring that Belle never, ever complained about pulling that cart, and probably did it completely by choice.

And i fear... really, really fear that it will turn out the same in the new episodes. Rarity may do something not so nice, because she is stressed, and because of that Sweetie destroys that dress.

And everyone will say that she was in the right to do it because Rares was soooo douchey to her.... Everyone will say: Nyaaaah! Rarity worst sister! Rarity worst pony!

But well... Has always been like that, will always be like that....

Yes, Rarity will be at fault. Obviously.

Even thought the synopsis only shows that the one who did anything deliberately was Sweetie, Rarity will be at fault.

It's possible that they will make Rarity the bad guy, even though she should not be and does not need to be, but assuming the fault will be Rarity's when the synopsis' language clearly puts Sweetie in the wrong is silly. Unless there is another synopsis I have not seen it seems to me that Rarity will indirectly do something which makes Sweetie mad and Sweetie handles it poorly.

Personally I hope they go for that as they've nearly exhausted the "Rarity is always in the wrong" thing. They have done a good job so far characterizing her motives differently but a rut is a rut.

I know, it is customary to not give Rarity credit she deserves by criticizing everything she does no matter how benign, ignoring the depth to her character or holding her to a high standard but this is silly. Condemning her without having seen the episode.

I understand, of course, this is not your intent however it is often times how these things go. So I am not criticizing you personally, or criticizing your opinion.

The problem is not really when the writers portray her doing something wrong. The problem is when she did NOTHING wrong and the people who dislike her use some kind of insane trollogic to twist everything she does to be wrong. She does not need to be wrong for some people, they will MAKE her wrong in their mind, and then they shove their opinion on everyone, pretending that they are some kind of genius because they showed again that Rarity is soooo bad.

Rarity is a protagonist. Like the rest of the mane6 she is supposed to be a positive figure, but some people see some sort of villian in her... Transfering their own insecurities with females, or their failed lovelife into her.

Thats what i fear in this new episode, what she does is always wrong for some people.
