Steve Piranha 29,449 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 I was exploring TV Tropes about EG, and stumbled upon this Quote Self-Fanservice: Hand-in-hand with the normal show, the human characters tend to be depicted in fan works as much more curvaceous and beautiful than in the series. Sunset Shimmer in particular has practically become a sex symbol for the Equestria Girls franchise If you don’t know what sex symbol is: is basically a fictional character that is universally attractive to audiences https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_symbol Do you consider Sunny to be EG’s sex symbol? I do 7 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterstep 47,197 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 I mean, there’s only one correct answer... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brony Number 42 10,074 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 Maybe it's because she acts more mature than the others, which makes her more attractive. 4 This is my new signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksword66 230 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 Generally i don't really see any character in the series as such. However, that's not a bad or good thing. I think for the most part the attractiveness to her character can fall into that mature aspect as stated by Brony Number 42. Though for the whole thing as a whole, EG was made for a different audience if i recall correctly and as such it has a different aspect to itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 Oh, absolutely I do. She's very much a sex symbol. 2 Official Discordian pope. Known as Miss Kallixti Oddball to the enlightened.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,316 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 Both Twilights seem to agree. (I love this picture. Sunset is scared, but kind of happy too!) 4 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash In 22,650 March 11, 2020 Share March 11, 2020 (edited) Now that you mention it, I can sort of see that association. I guess I never really looked at it that way. Edited March 11, 2020 by Cash In 1 At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do While I wouldn't quite say she's a sex symbol, I would say that she's more of a sex symbol than any of the other characters. She does seem to be attractive as a character to most audiences but everyone has their own opinion, so I wouldn't say that she is universally attractive. I personally don't like her hair style, but thats just a matter of opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim&Venöm 19,588 March 24, 2020 Share March 24, 2020 It probably helps that she's the most human looking member of the HuMane six not named Applejack. Not only that, she has aspects attributed to what most consider to be a sexy woman. Tan skin. Long vibrant hair with highlights. A punk rock/ biker girl aesthetic in her fashion. And as mentioned, a general sense of maturity and level headedness that makes her seem more three dimensional. I mean Can we really argue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat-kun 2,530 March 24, 2020 Share March 24, 2020 It's hard for a character not to become a symbol of something they were pushed to become a symbol of. But did she become a de facto sex symbol or are EQG fanfoals just fanfoaling too much to understand what they are fanfoaling about? Have they seen Fluttershy? Then a fanfoal may argue that Flutts is not such a symbol in EQG and then I would counter by stating that a fanfoal is not arguing about sex symbols but about completely unrelated reasons they wish Sunset would be proclaimed as such a symbol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,413 March 24, 2020 Share March 24, 2020 The fandom has certainly made her out to be a sex symbol given what the fanart and fanfiction of her tends to convey her as. Granted, the show itself also did this though I doubt that it was intentional. Case in point, the swimsuit scenes in 'Forgotten Friendship'. That would be a prime example right there of fan service. There are other examples but the swimsuit one is arguably the best known one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing bad about how a character looks like. Plus there are other threads where such things you mention are still being discussed extensively. PLUS, Sunny’s personality is another factor which adds her attractiveness 3 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finale seemed rather rushed when it came to the design of the ponies, etc. Many people might not agree with how old some ponies looked. Spike included. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were trying to show that time had passed, but those baggy eyes made them look way too old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
