  1. Great essay you did there! You raise many great points! I completely agree!

     

    You are completely right, a pony that creates new beauty trends by getting her usual and gorgeous styling ruined, like the wet mane incident, can only be described as naturally beautiful.

    And she looked absolutely stunning in simple ways.

    Rarity does not need to doll herself up to look gorgeous, but she does it to play with her beauty, to experiment. Thats a great source of fun and happiness for her! Her many outfits do not make her more beautiful, they vary her beauty in interesting and lovely ways, something she really enjoys, and something many stallions and even some mares are bound to greatly enjoy... Ponies that admire her beauteous ways... like you said.

  2. The person you are here is your real you, the person in real life is a mask.

     

    I can tell you that because my situation is exactly the same as yours, i have heavy depression myself and take meds and go to therapy. this forum helps me to interact with people in ways i could usually not, i can be like i really am, not the scared depressed person i am outside of it.

     

    You should try to get therapy, it may help you to loosen that mask a bit.

  3. I would go so far and say that i don't dislike any pony of the show, well apart from antagonists like Suri, Diamond Tiara and Blueblood. I certainly don't understand the popularity of some ponies, but that does not make me dislike them.

     

    Ive met some really hateful people in my time in the fandom, people that hated all mane6 apart from one or two, people that said they get physically sick from some ponies, people that said certain ponies should just die and cause the death of some other innocents too if they are at it, people that just could not leave fans of certain ponies alone.

     

    And i don't get it why this fandom has the need to bully itself like that.

     

    Im pretty disappointed with the fandom and don't trust it anymore, not the least. What you described is the fandom in a nutshell, always was, always will be.

     

    Sadly that is the truth.

  4. Blah googy bleew. Oh, sorry, I'm just evolving the English language. It's not my fault you don't understand. Urgh grrmm mmmph

    Qiviut is correct. The language the population of a country speaks serves them, not the other way around. If the people evolve so does the language.

    New words and phrases develop and the meaning of words change too. Thats how it has always been in linguistics.

     

    Trying to purify a language has no use, the language has to fit to the people that speak it.

  5. Makes really sense what you are saying here! Really like your analysis!

     

    Rarity overreacts, that is part of her character, if one overreacts one tends to make errors of judgement, thats only human. But like you said she does not make these errors because she is selfish.

     

    I for one, for example, could never understand why people accused her of selfishness during the generosity song, that she supposedly wasn't really generous because she would expect that the ponies she gave gifts to would give her something back in the future. She gave so freely and unconditional, and to ponies she could never have expected to get something in return from, foals and tourists for example, that it never made any sense to me that she was supposed to have an ulterior motive.

  6. Well, i feel that is the problem that season four sometimes has, characters in episodes where they are not really needed.

     

    And characters that are not really needed for the story still have to say SOMETHING, and thats often fashion in Rares case, or Rainbow saying "awesome", or something like that.

     

    Something basic that connects to their character, so that people don't ask themself "Why is this character even in this episode?"

     

    Don't know why they did this this season. Putting characters in storys they dont really matter in.

  7. 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.

  8. 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....
