Why reasons for hating Rarity do not make sense
Dark Qiviut replied to Tarnation's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Your gatekeeping here is one reason why some people view the brony fandom as a cult. Rarity is the show's most complex character, but she's by far not one of the most accessible. She's done actions in this show that will make people not like or hate her. Boast Busters: was one of the three leading offenders to the contrived conflict in Boast Busters. Bridle Gossip: sucked up to the stuck-up bitch stereotype when she spoke racist comments about Zecora's coat. Sonic Rainboom: Her worst in-character portrayal, where her vanity accentuated the conflict. Sweet & Elite: Behaved selfishly and treated the Canterlot elite as more important than Twilight's birthday. In the end, when her lies caught up to her, she got away with it with no consequences. Inspiration Manifestation: Complete focus on the look of the ventriloquist's stage without even as much as a focus on the function. When he rightly told her off for it, she got into a whining fit. Combine that with the fact that Rarity's whole archetype (the fashionista) is notorious for its sexist stereotypes. Of all six personalities, hers is the most delicate and difficult to write correctly because of its terrible rep. For a season responsible for introducing characters and building them up, DHX executed her very poorly at the start of season one. Not everyone's going to like a main character, and there will be people who will hate a main character. That doesn't make them any less of a fan; to believe otherwise is blatant gatekeeping, and that's objectively worse than hating a character. -
So, lemme get this straight. HRC bashed Sanders for saying families of the Sandy Hook victims shouldn't sue the gunmaker, yet accepted donations from an ex-NRA lobbyist?!

Blue Nation Review is the Breitbart of left-wing media.

Congrats to the Florida Panthers for clinching the Atlantic Division and the 2-seed last night.

One of the more ironic things about Bryan losing in WM 28 in 18 seconds was that in a moment where the brass tried to bury him, he only became more popular.

The Super Bowl commercial can lead to instant campaign success. The hilarious Snickers "you're-not-you-when-you're-hungry" commercial featuring Betty White began that campaign that continues today.

I have no issue with Roman Reigns. He's an excellent wrestler and surely one hell of a person. But for God's sake, Vince and Dunn, you don't give him any justice by keeping his character so stale and in an out-of-character role.

That Major World commercial with the Naked Cowboy's factually terrible. Poor camerawork. Poor scriptwriting (one line, and it's so dumb!). Poor green-screening. 480p-esque graphics.

I wonder where that sexist butterfly belt is. Hopefully hied to a pyre.

The first back-to-back jacks of 2016 (by SF's Angel Pagan and Panik) doesn't count: Buster Posey made it back-to-back-to-back! XP

NXT Dallas told WrestleMania, "You're screwed if you don't step it up." After what happened last night, WrestleMania couldn't hold a candle to NXT DAL.
