Alright, no.
No.
I'm tired of this.
Pretty.
Damn.
Tired.
Call me what you will for pointing this out, but there's gotta be a bazillion topics on here of people trying to destroy and demonize Rarity's character.
I'm just going to lend you all some advice:
1. Know that it's alright for you to have a negative opinion towards a pony. Any pony.
2. Before you go starting a topic/posting on a topic, ranting about said pony, make sure you know what you're talking about it. I've seen it so many times; people bashing Rarity with a gaping hole in their line of reasoning that is often identifiable from the get go. Think it out well in advance before doing this, because YOU WILL rub people the wrong way, no matter which pony it is, and they'll be more than happy to exploit any visible flaws in your thoughts. This goes for any one of the ponies.
3. Be sure and think for yourself on the matter; just because you meet a few people who think the same way doesn't mean it's what everyone thinks. I like Rarity best, and I decided that before I decided I was even ready to call myself a brony, let alone talk about the show with other bronies/pegasisters. Analyzing one of the ponies and pointing out flaws alone doesn't make you look smart. It's how well of a job you do analyzing the pony that makes you look smart.
4. Make sure you're not just regurgitating something that's already been said. "Oh, she doesn't live up to her EoH, oh, she's vain, oh, she sweet-talked a couple of dudes into doing things for her with her looks" have all been used, and I've personally stomped a few of these into the ground. If you want to call her greedy, just know I've got a 6,000 character list on my computer, ready to fire at a moment's notice and prove you wrong. As for the other things, that's fine; you don't like her for those flaws, all power to you. Free will is a beautiful thing.
5. If you're trolling and it's obvious, you'll probably get reported. Even if you're not trolling and you're being rude about it, you'll still probably get reported. Not by me, by someone. Be nice about it, please. If you're nice about sharing a negative opinion on a pony, and someone else gets all pissy and defensive, who do you think is going to look like the asshole? Been there, done that.
Now, listen. I'm getting tired of having other Rarity fans come to me, and tell me they're in the closet about being Rarity fans because of stupid crap and hate. Hell, I know a couple on here that are still in that closet; don't you think it's hard enough to have to hide being a brony from everyone else out of fear? I'd like to applaud the ones who make it to where people are still scared to be entirely truthful about their adventures in bronyhood. Good job.
Gahh. I'm tired of seeing this happen. I'm just tired of piss-poor arguments, trolls, and having to see other bronies be scared of...well, other bronies, just like we're those asshats on YouTube who cuss you out for having a pony as a profile picture.
I'm tired of it.
