You mean Spike and Sunset? I never thought, I mean not never, but almost never thought about that pairing possibility.

Yeah. Idk, it's just that they're my two faves in Equestria Girls, and they have some hella-cute moments together. And (dog) Spike likes (human) Rarity, so why not ship him with Sunset?

I mean, in FiM, I get that dragon Spike's relationship with the mane six ponies are kind of similar to what dogs are to humans, which was translated into EQG quite cruelly. But at least dragons are sentient beings, while in EQG, dogs are just dogs and Spike just magically became a smart speaking one of a kind dog. It's kinda... odd... never mind. Everything is possible in a fantasy, they would be a beautiful lovely couple, it's all good, it's way easier this way than trying to explain something that even I can't even fully understand.

It is weird, I admit. But if Spike can have a crush on human Rarity, I can ship him with Sunset.

Yeah, but would it work the other way around? And I also think Spike is way younger.

I always felt that Spike was nearly an equal to Mane 6 ponies, so I wouldn;t say that he is like what dogs are to human's. But putting him as a dog in EQG was kinda stupid and did make him seem like pet. 

Since the pairing of Sunset as a pony and Spike as a dragon would definitively work, their human counterparts should also be compatible.

There's no doubt about it, Sunset Shimmer is HOT. Let's just be honest here. 

Nah. I've always felt that she had way too much hair. Tone that down, and then I might reconsider about whether she is hot or not. ^_^

Yes, she is something when you put her on display like this :wub:

 

I still think she isn't made to be a sex symbol. I am questioning what her clothing style really means, like, is she a biker? I would so like seeing her ride a motorcycle to school, with a cool helmet, and special leather jacket. :Pharynx:

Honestly I felt like the whole "Spike is a dog instead of human" thing would have brought up some issues for him.
Just bothers me that he essentially brushed aside that issue big time.

Spike really deserves to be equals with the girls there. Not being demoted to some pet in EQG like that.

Well , im not sure about outside viewers/ little kids that watch the show , but for the bronie community , i think sunset is the most charming / atractive character out of the seven ( Even in there are other popular characters like sci twi , adagio, etc )

The main reasons , at least for me : Sunset's mature depiction in the show , she is shown as a bad ass , and has a way better style than the rest of the 6 (this is because the other mane 6 are kinda based of the equestria mane 6 , while with sunset they have the freedom of doing her as they want ). She's always in different outfits that match his character without falling in stereotypes.

Also, her personality , idk what she has but really , i feel like has something that makes you feel atracted to her, could be the bad ass look? Or the fact she is the oldest/ most grown up? She is also a gamer and when i learned that i was like : If she was best waifu , now she is even better waifu!! 

Funny thing :my discord pic used to be a sunset pic , and when i joined a chat with some friends , they didn't recognize that was something MLP related , they just thought it was some hot "deviantart girl"

Tbf most people wouldn;t really associate a lot of EGQ characters (apart from perhaps the Mane 6) with mlp if they just glanced at the picture lol. Since they look human, why would they have any reason to link it to something about ponies

Yeah I suppose I probably would. As much as I love Twilight and Sci-Twi, when you think of EQG the first character you would more than likely think of would be Sunset Shimmer. This fact is what I think makes her the series so-called "sex symbol" just because she's is essentially the face of that particular branch of the MLP franchise. I do also agree with some of the others here in the fact that Sunset acting a little more grown up/mature than the rest of her friends can also attract more attention/people to her.

OP answers itself. Characters are depicted. Some fans are het boys over the age of 11. Therefore some het boys want depictions of girl character as sex symbol. Therefore able fans provide for the het bois and receive attention. Saucy Sunsets are produced. Rinse and repeat. 

In terms of fan depiction Sunset is no more sex symbol than any fave female character of the 11+ het bois though since above process works for basically any female character of note. Any characters lacking things het bois want, like lil doodangs, are not depicted. On the other hand so many people are dtf wtfl... (down to feel anything they feel like :P

I'd definitely say that Sunset has emerged as a sex symbol, but I don't think she was intentionally designed as one. As one previous commentator noted, a good sized number of her fanbase are adolescent males and humans being humans, they're gonna sexualize her. I definitely find her attractive, but as a middle-aged male, I'm not so prone to the raging hormones of youth.

In summary: Fans made her a sex symbol, not the creators. IMHO, of course. :)
