RarityFan01

That's where hypocrisy comes into play: Someone will defend or explain the flaws of a pony they like and then turn and blatantly attack the flaws of a pony they don't like.  They may acknowledge or appreciate the flaws of the former, but they fail to realize the hypocritical nature of their attacks.  Or the significance of all flaws, and that all these flaws are - if not capable of being appreciated - forgivable.  There is a filter conveniently in place that facilitates the vilification of one pony while the other is still held in high regard.

I think it's more blind hatred. If you hate someone, you only focus on their flaws... most people do. As a random person to list good things Hitler did, and they most likely won't be able to. That's how it is. People who hate me will think I'm annoying, I always throw temper tantrums, I won't shut up, and I talk about myself too much. People who like me will say I'm friendly, compassionate, intelligent, and fun to be around. I can be annoying, I do throw temper tantrums, I don't shut up easily, I talk about myself too much, I am friendly, I am campassionate, I am intelligent, and I am fun to be around. See what i mean? 

Rarity is unique, I must say I don't know if there's a character who warrants a comparison, really. 

 

We were talking Rouge up there, but that's a weak comparison as Rouge lacks all the virtues and whatnot that makes Rarity such a great and role-defying character. Plus Rouge isn't really either a protagonist or an antagonist, from what I can tell.

 

Sooooooooooooooooooo....Rarity is truly a Rarity in every sense of the word. That is my final verdict!

 

 

Even in the cartoon I'm making, no Rarity like character. The closest is a lot more like Wind Whistler or Twilight if Twilight was refined and sophisticated.

It would be nice if members neither felt the need to ponybash nor felt they had to defend this or that pony.  I'm sorry for what Rarity appreciators have been subjected to by these forums and the fandom.  As my affection for Rainbow has grown, I've come to respect her friends more.  I can't both love her and hate any of her friends; it doesn't work that way.

 

And what some people in this fandom fail to realize is...  Flaws are GOOD.  Flaws are real and identifiable and interesting.  They leave room for growth.  None of the Mane Six are bad ponies; not even close.  Their virtues far outweigh their flaws, and their flaws help make them more real and complete.  They have good hearts and good intentions.

 

And they save the flipping world.

I disagree with you when you say that the fandom fails to realize that the flaws are good. I think they just only focus on the flaws of certain characters who give them bad first impressions. If what you said were true, then Applejack would be a lot more liked. The reason a lot of people dislike her is because her lack of flaws. (She does have flaws, but they fail to notice them.) 

You may wonder something. Why don't we let people have their opinions and their reasons on hating characters?

 

Well, some reasons just don't add up. I've seen some stupid and generic reasons on hating characters. "Pinkie Pie is annoying." Well annoying is a highly subjective thing. I could say I find Diamond Tiara annoying, but you don't me never shutting up about it and constantly reminding fans of it. "Rainbow  Dash is arrogant." "Rarity is selfish." "Applejack is boring." "Fluttershy is underdeveloped." "Twilight is also boring." All characters have flaws. That's how you make a good character. As long as the flaws aren't detrimental to the plot, what's to complain about?

 

Bottom line, it's more healthy to focus on why you love a character over why you hate one. And I will continue to love all of the mane six.

Unfortunately, it's not just the fandom that focuses on what they hate rather than what they love. People also hate others solely because of something they love. I think almost every brony knows that. 

I wonder, what character from any show is most like Rarity? (Protagonists only please.) 

I can't list any because the characters like Rarity are often antagonists. Fashion isn't only for villains!!! 

If Scootaloo was a Changeling, she would be a defected Changeling who can't transform. If she could, then why doesn't she change to Rainbow Dash? If Scootaloo could turn into Rainbow Dash, she would do it. 

There is no evidence that Scootaloo is a changeling. 

I imagined that Rarity was a changeling (again, no evidence.) So you can imagine she was a changeling all you want. 

Though, if Scootaloo were a Changeling, wouldn't that have been mentioned when the CMC were captured by Chrysalis in the comics?

Barack?! That's my destiny?! What is your problem, horn?

Rarity isn't even American. In fact, she doesn't even live in our world. 

Her voice actress isn't American, either. She's Canadian. (I think... )

nope, Pinkie pie or Twilight

Then Why do you hate Rarity? 

Is it because she's never generous? If that is so, then stop going to this site because you obviously don't really watch the show. That or you believe generosity is black and white. If you aren't always generous, you are never generous. If you ever want something, you are extremely greedy. Rarity had her moments, but so did everypony else. 

Is it because you believe Rarity is feminine? What is so wrong with being feminine? A Dog and Pony Show even teaches us that being ladylike doesn't make one weak. I'm a very feminine boy, so do you hate me even more? Not only am I feminine, I'm a guy who's feminine. 

Is it because she hates getting dirty? I HATE that. I know for a fact you would hate me if this and the previous statements are all reasons. Because I fit in those categories. Rarity will get dirty when she absolutely needs to, though. It's not like she will like another pony drown in mud because she doesn't want to touch it. (Though you would think she would.)

Is it because of the way she treats Spike? If I ever met you in real life, and someone offered to carry stuff for you, do not accept their offer or I will hate you and believe you are taken advantage of that other person. Seriously, Spike does it willingly. Also, you might as well hate all of the Mane Six except maybe Applejack because they are also "taking advantage of him." 

Is it because of that one time Rarity charmed Spike into giving her his birthday present? M A Larson, the writer of that episode, said that Rarity was just admiring it and had no intentions on taking it. Also, if Spike didn't give her the fire ruby, Spike would never return to normal. Rarity unknowingly and indirectly saved Spike's life. Now, tell me how that's a bad thing. (Unless you're a Spike hater too.)

Is it because of the way she treats Sweetie Belle? They're sisters! What do you expect? For them to always get along? In Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle was dropped off at Rarity's house. Based on Rarity's reaction, she wasn't expecting her sister nor her parents to be there. If I lived alone, and my parents dropped off my sister at my house, I would be angry, too. Sweetie Belle did cause problems. I can relate to Rarity very well in that episode. (Yes, I have OCD, and that is probably the reason.) I'm also an artist, and when I'm working on something, I would rather have everything out. Also, regardless of intentions, don't touch other people's stuff. One the part where Rarity got angry at Sweetie Belle drawing her a picture, imagine if someone went to your house and made a picture for you, but doing so, they used very valuable objects of yours without your consent. Also, Rarity did willingly cover herself in mud during the race, so, she made up for it when Sweetie Belle was the one who constantly complained about Rarity. Rarity was the one who made things right. Also, in Sleepless in Ponyville, Sweetie manipulated Rarity. Rarity didn't want to go camping. Sweetie Belle was also happy when pulling the cart. Rarity even let Sweetie Belle have a break and let Scootaloo pull. Also, Rarity was very comforting to Sweetie Belle. Rarity and Sweetie Belle are sisters. Unlike with Applejack, Rarity plays the role of a sister rather than a mother, so that's why we see a lot more conflict between Rarity and Sweetie Belle than with Apple Bloom and Applejack. 

Is it because you hate her voice? I see, you also hate Princess Luna, original Derpy, Mrs. Cake, Photo Finish, Granny Smith, and anyone else voiced by Tabitha St. Germain. 

Is it because of her English accent? Yeah.... her accent isn't English. Nice try, though. It's transatlantic. Which, by the way, is not an actual accent. Everyone who speaks in a transatlantic accent is faking it. 

Is it because she loves fashion? If that is so, then I can't help you there. You're just so closed minded that you will hate a character for a harmless interest. 

Is it because she whines all time? No she doesn't I'm not even going to go there. In A Dog and Pony Show, she was being very manipulative to the Diamond Dogs who enslaved her! Other than that, she's doesn't usually whine. 

Is it because she only cares about her own self? If that was true, Green isn't your Color would have been very different. In Sonic Rainboom, Rarity wouldn't have told Twilight to find a spell to help Rainbow Dash. Rarity didn't make the Gala Dresses before she didn't want to be around her friends who were wearing terrible dresses. She wasn't even with them at the Gala, and she let her friends wear the ugly outfits and didn't even try to stop them from showing them off in a fashion show because even though she didn't like them, they did. In Filly Vanilli, if Rarity only cared about her self, she would have continued pestering Fluttershy into joining the Pony Tones and singing up front. She does pester Fluttershy, but she is understanding of her stage fright. Rarity does care a lot about others. Even to the point where she would go out of her comfort zone. 

Is it because her singing is terrible? I don't know what you're hearing, but I think her singing is amazing! That's just an opinion though...

Is it because you haven't seen Season 4? Watch Season 4! 

Is it because you just don't like her and lack any reason? Then that is the stupidest reason to hate her, and you're a lost cause. 

Whatever reason you have, I will most likely be able to counter it. 

I think all of the Elements have been oversimplified and misunderstood at some point or another by the fandom.  If it's a pony they simply don't like, someone will constantly look for reasons they don't measure up to their personal Element.  Which is silly.  Because the Mane Six are all more complex than simply that ONE thing.  Than simply their respective Cutie Marks, as well.  No one, no matter how extraordinary they may be, can fit precisely into the same limited little category all of the time.  And if the Mane Six somehow managed that to the satisfaction of everyone, they'd be called "Mary Sues."  Besides: The moments where the ponies are seemingly at odds with their Elements are usually the moments they overcome an internal struggle and learn something / better themselves.

 

And the fandom oft holds members of the Mane Six to some ridiculously high standards; particularly where the Elements are concerned.  Without stopping to appreciate how they, themselves, might fare in that same situation.  The right thing to do (which is subjective, anyhow) is seldom the easy thing to do.

I don't like Twilight Sparkle, and my reason is because we're too similar. I will still defend Twilight with my dying breath if that day ever came. Hey, the reason I started to like Rainbow Dash when I used to not like her was because I defended her when others said she wasn't loyal. Though anyone who believes Twilight doesn't live up to her element never watched the show or doesn't even know what element she represents. I will still defend Twilight for other reasons, though. I do love how some people say Twilight is Mary Sue because they are also saying I'm perfect because we have pretty much the same flaws. If her flaws aren't flaws, then neither are mine. Fluttershy is a bit harder for me to defend. I don't dislike her, but unlike Twilight, there's really nothing I like about her. Despite the dislike of Twilight, I do like some of her other qualities. Fluttershy is... boring... (No offense to those of you who like Fluttershy.) I used to like Fluttershy, but I don't because she's weak or extremely agressive. I prefer her when she's shy, but I don't like how she's weak and represents the element of kindness. That doesn't help with the stereotype. Though that's not exactly a good enough reason to dislike Fluttershy. She's just... boring. I don't like her, I don't dislike her. Though if I could come up with a good argument to defend Fluttershy, I will defend her, too. 

Even as a Dashlover, I appreciate Rarity and the strength of their friendship in that episode.  I've said it before, but Rares volunteered to be the test subject for Twi's spell.  And that was after she was seemingly the only one of Rainbow's friends who realized how nervous she really was.  And then, at the end of the episode, Dashie shrugged the whole thing off like it was no big deal.

 

That = friendship.  That's how I know Rainbow and Rarity are actually very good friends.  So I don't get why anyone would dislike Rarity on account of that episode.  They really do need a proper episode together, though.

I like Rainbow Dash too. It doesn't stop the fact that Rarity was an antagonist in that episode. When most people watch MLP for the first time, they would see Rarity and automatically think of her as a terrible character. Then when she does act terrible, they have enough evidence to dislike her and will not give her a chance. During the moment of the episode where Rarity was good, new bronies drowned her out.

A problem I have with some bronies, especially Rarity haters, is their lack of understanding of generosity. I think they believe that it's solely giving people lots of money all the time and never having anything for yourself except what you actually need. They also think that generosity is a black and white thing. If you aren't always generous, you're never generous. Also, Rarity is feminine. Feminine is considered bad by a lot of people, so she's automatically considered a bad person. I don't know why I waste my time defending Rarity. She will always have the most haters.

I want to read Rarity and the Curious Case of Charity, but I can't without buying the book. So I will just continue with fanfiction. At least that's free. I'm not cheap, but I don't like buying something when I don't even know if I will like it. That's why it's hard for me to buy books, movies, or video games. 

I'm fine with all ponies except Rarity. She annoys me

Let me guess... you started with Sonic Rainboom...

I really wish I could start this Rarity fanfic I've had in my head for months. I have the whole thing planned out, but problem is getting the ideas out of my head.

Tell me about it. I have so many ideas, not necessarily all Rarity fan fiction ideas (though those too) but even ideas that aren't pony related at all. If you add screenplays, which are harder to write, to the mixture, the ideas are too much. Then there are non-writing ideas i have. You know, if I had the book inspiration manifestation, who knows what I would do? 

321 pictures of Rarity isn't that much. I can probably get over 1000 before I start lagging. I love Rarity because she's beautiful both on the inside and the outside. I love when that happens.

well, i can try, can't i? though, the issue of you not being able to post is a legitimate concern.

I only save Rarity solo and Rarijack pictures though, and I don't save nsfw. (Not that you can post it, though.) 

everyone! we must make RarityFan01 lose all the space on his/her computer! i will start!

Do you really want me to not be able to post in here? I have a lot of space on my computer, and I would just uninstall some programs I don't use to get even more space if that does happen. I would probably have to have 100000 Rarity pictures to start laging. (Or pictures of anything, not just Rarity.) I'm a guy by the way.

If I end up losing all the space on my computer, chances are it's because of the Rarity pictures. Hehe

Rarity finds out that Rainbow is suppressing her feminine side and helps her? We know that Rainbow has a bit of a feminine side, so it could work.... maybe?---

 

well sounds like a slife of life fic concept to me.  Like similar to that lessin of to not try and change your freinds or something.  manwhile having Dah being in frilly dresses and make up and maybe getting asked out on a date by some stallion. (yes a stallion yo ugot a problem wit hthat.)

Even without the romance, it could be a funny episode. Maybe Rarity when Rarity found out Rainbow is actually feminine, she thinks Rainbow is more feminine than she actually is and gets her to wear the most girly stuff? 

I have a new headcanon now. In Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity did have the ability to get rid of the vine things. Unfortunately, they knew she was a threat to them and messed up her magic. So the mane six had to get rid of the elements of harmony instead. 

She told her friends her magic was messing up rather than that she didn't know a spell because she did know a spell that could fix it. Oddly enough, Twilight didn't? But they didn't cause problems with Twilight's magic. 

Everypony knows poep wih glases look cooler. So Rarity having her work glases on maks her ..no no i'm an NOT useing hte over uedmeme no. he fabulou.


I'm not sure I can see Rarity and Dash being able to spend a length of time together by themselves.

Rainbow Dash is too easily persuaded to give contrast to Rarity who is persuasive, so it's not like we would have to get an entire episode for Rarity to convince Rainbow Dash to model or anything. But instead, what if Rainbow Dash was almost not a Wonderbolt for some reason, and she decides to go to Rarity for help. Rarity does her best to help and ends up persuading Spitfire to let Rainbow Dash join. It works, Rainbow Dash fans stop hating Rarity, and the episode wouldn't be long enough. Never mind. I don't know. Rarity finds out that Rainbow is suppressing her feminine side and helps her? We know that Rainbow has a bit of a feminine side, so it could work.... maybe?

It's a shame that Rarity didn't wear the Mysterious Mare Do Well outfit in the actual show. She looks so fabulous! 

Something I found that most of you already seen. (It's about Rarity. If you can't see gifs, don't bother clicking the link. )

I'm sad right now I was busy drawing Rarity, but the worst possible thing happened! 

I was working on her cutie mark, and I realized that the brush can't go any smaller. I wasted all that time drawing Rarity. I can't draw dresses to save my life, so that picture of Rarity is impossible to finish. I can't add the cute mark. Oh well... I guess I can get rid of part of her body so it would still be possible. The tail was turning out so good, too.

I figured out how to get the details on her cutie mark! I had to use a different program. 

Rarity has the most beautiful tail to ever exist, and she willingly cuts it off to help a serpent. If she isn't worthy to be the element of generosity (which she definitely is) then nopony is. 

I don't have Twilight or Pinkie Pie yet. I am far better at styling real hair, so sorry about that.  Also, sorry for the lack of Applejack's hat.

I love Rarity's tail.

It's so great!

Here's a picture of Rarity's beautiful tail, then.

Lol it's entirely possible. Gays aren't such a taboo subject in the media nowadays.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they added a gay character. 

Sorry. I hate being wrong. 

Most people don't assume AJ is straight because most people are. They assume she's straight for a reason as stupid as the reason people assume Rainbow is gay. Applejack is a farmer. They are implying either that homosexuality is a choice, or that farmers, for some reason, cannot be gay. But if homosexuality is a choice, then a rainbow mane shouldn't indicate anything. So they are implying that farmers cannot be gay. (Which I know for a fact they can.) The problem with Applejack being straight is that I've only seen her shipped with two non-relative stallions: Soarin (Who is better off with Rainbow Dash) and Trendorhoof (Who we know Applejack isn't interested in.) They're going with two farmer stereotypes: all farmers are straight and all farmers marry relatives. 

Sorry.

Even merchandise without a certain mold has Applejack without her hat. 

Yeah, I never implied anything close to that.

 

Only that it's perfectly normal to assume that a person would be straight.

You know what? Homosexuality doesn't even exist in Equestria. I'm stupid for thinking something like that. Everyone is straight and cisgender. They don't have problems  what we have in this world.
