Rarity Fan Club

[Motion Spark 7,807]

There is a Tumblr post by Ask Feminist Celestia that, while the language itself was a little harsh but at the core seemed to have a pretty interesting point about why some bronies hate Rarity. It's not that she's feminine, but rather she's feminine in a certain way that threatens particular male egos. When she dresses up/puts on makeup, she doesn't do it for a guy, she does it for herself. Her vanity and dramatics throw up instant "mean girl" flags in some guys heads. It's a femininity that's strong and out there and in your face.

 

Fluttershy is feminine too, but in a more withdrawn, shy way that appeals to a guys instincts to protect. Rarity, on the other hand is a much more forceful personality that combined with femininity makes haters heads explode.

splendid analysis, I've had ideas about this in the back of my head, but it was always focused on the fact that Rarity displays confidence. Never seen it in this way.

This makes so much sense. Wow there's a very serious issue within this explanation, and it seems like most males fans feel their masculinity threatened by a strong femenine figure in a girl.

I've noticed that women who exude confidence and don't really need men to protect them tend to get the "bitch" label more often than otherwise. 

 

Me, I was always the type of guy who wanted to be saved by Supergirl or Wonder Woman.

  I dunno, I think "Hawkflame" is a pretty manly sounding user name.

I've never really noticed any signifigant hate towards Rarity myself honestly, and when I do it's usually just people spouting out petty, nitpicky reasons for disliking her, so I've never let it really bother me at all. Besides, the majority of bronies seem to really like her anyway even if she's not they're top favorite from my experience with the general brony community, so it seems to me haters of Rarity or any mane 6 pony are just a vocal minority, nothing to really worry about if you ask me.

That is simply gorgeous! I want one! 

 

I'll settle for drawing pictures of the best pony, for now...

Dunno if anyone's heard this little piece yet, but I gotta say, I think it's easily one of the best of the themes from that aborted game, both objectively and subjectively

I'm super mega hyper right now for this episode tomorrow, so I just refuse to watch this preview, not only because Rarity but also for Applejack. I normally don't like shipping but I just love love love Rarijack so much, not as a couple but as a BFF.

Seriously, watching that preview has eased so much of my fears of tomorrow's episode I don't want to spoil it for no one or nothing, so I'll just put it in a spoiler. You don't wanna see anything about the preview, don't click on this spoiler

 

 

It was pretty fuckin' rad to see that Rarity wasn't going to be the only one to act OOC Less likely people will bitch about it, then

I've been meaning to comment to this for a while. As someone who is of the male sex, this is partly why I've been appreciating Rarity more. Not meaning to say that the way Fluttershy is presented is bad in any way, no. I just like the idea of expressing oneself for oneself. Personally, I don't think enough people get this. While dressing to impress is something I think almost everyone has done or does, and something I am guilty of doing, looking nice is something people can do for oneself only. Hell, I can't count how many times I done myself up to look super androgynous just to go to a class or not go anywhere at all, just because I like doing it and I think it's fun.

Yes I did my waifu's as well.

@Radience64,
