There's always a lot of hate for Rarity, ironic or otherwise.

I guess it's because her fans in general are among the most autistic you can find within the fandom, certainly among the mane6. It's easy bait for trolls.

That, and she's not exactly been stellar this season. Applejack's "Day" Off was probably one of her worst appearances ever.

>>27678823
Just a friendly reminder that you raricucks are forever on suicide watch

>>27679200
To be honest, I'm an applefag and that episode had me more disappointed in AJ than Rarity. If I had a gripe it's from the recent episode. It almost felt like the writer took her most positive trait and tried to make it negative subtly

>>27679153
What hate? The incredibly worn out whore/slut meme that isn't and never will be canon? If that's the only thing that people can come up with against her that doesn't apply to any other mane 6, then I'd say we were sitting in a pretty good position.
It's all just jealousy really.

Based off of what? There was tgat poll in the other thread a few days ago and Rarifags came out pretty average in terms of autism. And if anything, it's typically the autists who hate Rarity and don't understand her, genuinely thinking she's some one dimmensional prissy whiny bitch who forces people to wear dresses. I've seen that first hand.

Though it does appear we have some 15 year old Summerfag on the board trying to push a "Raricuck" meme.

>Her fans are most autistic
I can literally say that almost ever rarity lover is something autistic. I'm not even kidding. This 1 guy literally gets upset at the smallest insult. about anything and throws insult after insult at people if you do not agree with them. OH and lets not forget he's also "trans" and thinks that I should respect his pronouns as a female and she. lol no.

Another guy literally has a white fleshlight with a sticker of rarity's cutie mark on it.

If you were the only autist calling her by that name, you'd be right. Seeing that a lot of bronies who don't watch the show also refer to Rarity as Rara despite the show telling them otherwise, fan of the fandom is more appropriate in your case.

>>27681683
It's not that I don't watch the show, I just refuse to drop her nickname because some other one episode pony now has it as well.

>>27681705

Yeah, I get it, the fandom and it's memes are more important than the show to you.

Don't talk about double standards in a Rarity thread, she gets that all the time. Whenever she dies something wrong, even when she learns the lesson, it's always held against her.

People even attribute Princess Platinum's behavior to Rarity just because she played her in a show

I guess the dash defense force is too strong on the board, but I agree with you on Dash in Tanks for the Memories. The rest you can actually see the character(s) gradually losing their shit over something that matters to them. Here you have AJ, a skilled farmer, acting like quite the literal retard dancing in front of unamused pigs as a chicken and feeding chickens by one and never stopping and thinking about what she's doing. I understand they tried to drive the point forward really hard, but that actually damaged AJ's character if anything.

Jesus christ this is one of the worst character threads iv seen in a while, weird infighting, responding to bait and other nonsense. Can't you guys just circlejerk like the rest of the character threads?

>>27682536

I actually like both Rarijack and RariDash for different reasons.

Really the only Rarity ships I don't like are Flarity (to be honest it's mostly cause I don't like Fluttershy much) and RariPie (just cause I can't really see Pinkie in relationship with ANYONE working)

>>27679200

What are you talking about dude? She was off in Spice Up Your Life but her other what is it, 4? yeah 4 or so major appearences have all been solid, Applejacks Day off was a Meh episode but Rarity was one of the better parts of it. And aside from that she had Gift of Maud Pie, where she was basically hilarious and a great friend who went out of her way to help Pinkie, Gauntlet of Fire (supporting role but still important) where she literally travels to the Dragonlands and puts herself in mortal danger just to provide moral support for Spike in his challenge, Saddle Row Review where she's hilarious and show's how much she trust her friends. And Applejack's Day Off her frustration made sense, she was annoyed she couldn't spend time with one of her best friends, and then later she helps Applejack see what she had been doing wrong.

Actually in terms of Rarity as not THE central character of an episode this is probably her best season, they've been focusing a lot more on the whole generosity aspect of her and how much concern she takes in others and her desire to help them. Hell even in Spice Up Your Life her mistakes all come from a well intentioned desire to save the Resturant of some ponies she literally just met.

>>27679180

Dude, Rarifags can be overly defensive but they don't hold a candle to the Twifags or Flutterfags who basically all are into those two because they relate to how utterly socially inept they are. And then the Twifags on top of that have seemingly no idea what they want Twilight to be.

>>27689013
I agree. If anything, here's what I've noticed.

>Rarifags are more defensive, easiest to bait
>Flutterfags are completely beta and shy
>Ponkfags seem to have some depression
>Rainbowfags tend to be the meme lovers, and enjoy trying to start shit
>Twifags as you said have no idea what they want
Never seen enough Applefags to know something of them.

>>27689088
>Never seen enough Applefags to know something of them.
Damn, come to think of it neither have I.

>>27689088

Yeah Applejack has too few fans to really have a common sterotype for them unfortunately. The only thing I can say is that not so much here but on some other sites like EQD there's a significant amount of Applefags who basically spend all their time moaning and being sad that there are so few of them.

>>27689088

>Too few applejacks to make anything of them.

That reminds me of the last pony convention I went to, they had a costume contest, and like Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Twilight and Ponk all had quite a few cosplayers doing them in all their various outfits and stuff...... there was not a single Applejack cosplayer in the contest, and I think in the entire con of a few thousand attendees I only saw 2 in all the days of it.

>>27689209
When I see Applejack cosplayers, it's typically a family, someone is doing a Big Mac and someone else an Apple Bloom. (Really adorable I must admit) But yeah I don't see too many either.

Rarity is the second least cosplayer of the Mane 6 I see, but I see much more of her than Applejack. The problem with her however is either the cosplay is fantastic, and is one of her outfits, or it's some fat person in a white dress with a wig. And I've found it's mostly the latter.

I should be hesitant to talk about cosplays, I'm doing a simple one for Bronycon this year.

>>27688962
Dude, this is tons better than the Rainbow threads where its nothing but writing greentext porn about her.
Fucking hell, I'm a dashfag and I HATE the Rainbow threads.

>>27689209
>>27689397
sad thing is, I think AJ is by far the least popular of the mane six, in both sales AND in popularity, including both Adult fans and target audience.
twilight, Rainbow, pinkie, even fluttershy seem to sell toys, but AJ just seems like dead weight, financially, which is all hasbro truly cares about.

Honestly, given how few toys and push hasbro gives with her, I think they'd delete her in an instant if they could get away with it: G5, when it comes out, I fully expect them to delete AJ and replace her with Sunset shimmer as the Element of honest or another pony altogether.

>>27689451
Honestly I find that about Applejack to be funny, considering of the Mane 6, Applejack is the only "G1" pony. (Rarity was Sparkler, RD was Firefly, etc.) You'd think that since she was the only unaltered one, she'd be a little more popular.

>>27689397

I actually see Rarity cosplayers very commonly at the conventions iv been to, not as much as Dash or Pinkie but more than Fluttershy and about even with Twilight. Having so many damn outfits makes her a fairly popular choice for cosplayers since it's easy to standout among even other Rarity cosplayers.

>>27689451

O yeah, typically the way merch goes is they do Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie cause they have the most marketable designs. Then they do ether Fluttershy or Rarity ( or occasionally both) and then Applejack is totally ignored.

Fuck earlier this year they did a Mcdonalds Promotion. Twi, Dash, Ponk, Rarity, Flutters? all there as expected.

Applejack? totally missing, Starlight, Coco Pommel and freaking SURI POLOMARE got figures instead.

In the case of Rarity, her fanbase skews older I think, while Rainbow's tends to skew younger. Twilight's and Fluttershy's just seems to be based on how much people relate to them so there's no real age skew with them. And Pinkie is just people who like Pinkie, iv never seen any pattern with them.

>>27689722
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spots then, I just totally see more Twilight, Rainbow and Fluttershy than anyone else.

>>27689748
>Suri Polomare
Yeah, can someone explain what the fuck that was? Starlight fine, and Coco has a handful of toys on shelves. But Suri? What the hell?

>>27689088

Truly a background pony

>>27689838
I don't think it's AJ's fault really. The writers just don't bother to do anything with her.

>>27689844

Challenge: Write an idea for an interesting AJ ep
In the other hand Rara by being the most social pony, has infinite stories to tell

>>27689798

I see a lot of Rainbow, but not much Fluttershy, and usually when I do it's with a Rainbow.

I see Dash, Pinkie and Rarity cosplays the most. Twilight gets plenty too but less than you'd expect given how popular she is, I mean I think on every site iv been too when they do "best Pony polls" there's basically only 2 constants 1. Twilight always gets #1 and 2. Applejack always gets #6. The other 4 bounce around depending on where you are. For example Fluttershy, Fluttershy on /mlp/ doesn't tend to do too well on "best pony" surveys but on the MLPsubreddit iv never seen her get below third place. However on both the constant of Twilight being #1 and AJ #6 rings true, and usually it's by quite a margin too, I can't remember the last major /mlp/ survey by perctange but the last one of that subreddit had her at less than 10% with only the Mane 6 as options.

>>27689957
I don't really relate/connect to AJ at all, the main reason she's my least favorite mane 6, so I can't really think of the potential she has as a character. I'm sure people who DO relate to her could come up with great stories though.
I can think of loads of potential stories for Rarity because she reminds me a lot of my mom as well as myself.

Rarity reminds me of myself in several areas too. I've been trying to write some fiction, and that part's coming out naturally for that reason. In fact I could attribute my entire family to Rarity's. My little brother is easily like Sweetie Belke, and my parents are kind of close to hers.

I'd rather that stuff than all the "Rarity is a whore/slut" stuff. It makes me sad.

>>27698402

Well it's just so goddamn easy to refute nowadays, it's pointless to try and bait people with it.

Especially these season where all but one of Rarity's major appearences are all about her trying to help other ponies (or Spike in one case) out.

>>27698419

Yeah and it also makes no goddamn sense, Rarity's a giant romantic with a real idealized view of romance. She's like one of the least likely to sleep around. But she's girly and occasionally uses her feminine charm so it triggers the more autistic types here.

That meme says a whole lot more about the people who say it than it does Rarity, really.
All girls who wear makeup and take pride in their appearance are automatically whores according to them. It's just shows how much they actually interact with women in real life, so it isn't anything that you should let get to your head.
Rarity has standards, is relatively well-known across Equestria and has a reputation to maintain. The meme doesn't make any logical sense.

>>27698549
Not to mention in Ticket Master it was like she was literally saving herself for Blueblood. Who turned out to be a dick. Then she got a husbando. Who she also forgot about and got over.

>>27698549
>>27698419
When the fuck will you people learn that the whore/slut meme is not about 'making logical sense.' It's all about pissing you off and getting under your skin and making you feel like shit. As long as you keep acknowledging it and responding to it and showing how much it hurts you people will keep posting it. You guys are the easiest to piss of. Simple as that. That's why the meme runs rampant round here.
I swear you Rarifags are the biggest idiots on this board...

>>27699512
Let me at least try to give you some point of view. As the anons above said, Rarifags could be really defensive, and I think I can vouch for that. I definitely don't believe I can vouch for everyone, but I think I can give a fine point. I think things for Rarity were definitely a lot worse early on in the fandom.

Back when I got on the ride, early 2011, I always felt like I had to justify liking Rarity to all my friends at the time. Or anyone else for that matter. I don't want to say I felt alone, just alienated that most of my IRL friends could agree on Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow, I was the odd one out. And most online communities I stuck around always had that "She's greedy" mentality early on, and at the time I recall her having like the least content creators around, everyone else was favored. And Hasbro didn't focus on her as much as they do now, either. She definitely got a boost. For me, it created that mentality, as with several of my other interests, as if I'm the only person in the world who has my opinion. So in conversations at the time, I tended to get very defensive about her. Got a little worse for me around Secret of my Excess, as that was pretty much the go to for anyone, always saying Rarity conned Spike. Then there was Season 3, the big Joke that Rarity was left out that season. It didn't help that I related a lot to her.

I'm not saying some shit like I was bullied or oppressed. That's retarded. But I think those feelings made me feel like I needed to justify myself early on, making me easy bait. I'm definitely not like that anymore, but I'd still say I still occasionally get annoyed by some comments and can't reply.

And I must imagine that some people must feel similar. That's why those more further down the autism spectrum make those videos where they scream at a camera begging people to leave Rarity alone, or demanding the creation of some "Rarity Defense Force".

Sorta agreed on the first part but I swear us rarifags are sometimes the ponychannest group with how easily we take the bait and I'd love to know what the demographics are
because /mlp/ itself is already strongly underage but there must be something more that rarifags have in common that some of us don't know how to just not reply

>>27700713
Well perhaps it's more that the easiest pony to bait with is Rarity. There's literally nothing you can bait with Pinkie. Anything you say wrong about Twilight will most likely be met with agreement (like calling her a Mary Sue or saying things were better when she was a unicorn). Top Cunt isn't really a good thing to bait with if Dashfags are already fine with being obnoxious. And there's not really much to hold up with with Fluttershy.

That just leaves Rarity and Applejack, who get probably the same level of bait with whore and background pony, but you're more likely to get a response from a Rarifag because they're more numerous that Applefags.

So I think it's just that Rarity is the simplest to bait with. But you'll find anyone will respond to any bait just as easily.

I still get salty when I think about the double standards people had when it came to Dash and Rarity, Rarity got bashed for ANYTHING no matter how good her intentions were or if she learned her lesson, but whenever Dash was a jerk people ether just excused her or just said "o that's just bad writing".

Seriously, Dash was almost consistently a jerk in Season 2, and most of her episodes weren't very liked by a lot of the fandom. Still retained massive fanbase that crushed basically everyone when it came to producing content, Rarity got episodes most of the fandom liked and learned her lesson well every time.. and she still got bashed on endlessly. It made no goddamn sense.

>>27700858

Fluttershy is easy to bait, it's just not easy to make it into a buzzword but Iv seen some Fluttershy fans get all salty when people point out how she's basically just spun in circles for most of the series.

We can never have a Rarara thread about why WE love her.
It's always got to diverge into some pointless discussion about what OTHERS think of her.

That's what I'm doing. I'm currently writing a short fic about how she handles herself after a very bad day. I'm at a bit of a block though because I'm finding it difficult to write an event that would occur that would make Rarity annoyed with Twilight and vice versa, without either party looking like a jerk.

>>27703968

To Iustrate this, look at how many unique posters we have, only a bit less than the current Dash thread and significantly more than the current AJ thread. But they have more post in total because the people who post in those post over and over and basically have their big circlejerk. We kinda fail at doing that and always move on to random topics.

She what's the consensus regarding Rarity's behaviour in Spice up your Life? I know some people felt it shat on the entirety of Rarity's character, but I felt it gave her more dimension. It shows that Rarity can switch between being more business minded and more artistic minded depending on the situation. It also showed that she still has her obsession with Canterlot culture, something I thought the writers were trying to get rid of. I'm glad that's not the case. It's not a bad thing really, and it's one of many traits that make Rarity the well rounded pony she is.
More importantly, it showed that she's still flawed and can make mistakes that affect others. She was short-sighted, slightly hypocritical and a tiny bit stupid, but hey, who isn't from time to time?

I still don't really like how she behaved. I'd be more happy with her position if she at least showed that she likes the food, which she obviously doesn't. So then she founds out the Tasty Treat, a unique restaurant with actually superb food and goes fuck it, take it all down and fall in line otherwise you'll never make it. She built up her entire reputation on being Rarity unique.
Now if she at least liked the standard food so it wouldn't be a total degradation of the restaurant, I would somewhat understand. Not like this, though. The writers had to make a conflict in the episode between Rarity and Pinkie but I don't think this was the right way.

>>27707264

Is it me, or do we know the least about Rarity's childhood compared to the other mane 6? Her cutie mark chronicles story didn't reveal much of it at all, and instead it raised so many questions that have yet to be answered after all these seasons. Like, how the hell did she have the boutique when she was a filly and who taught her how to speak like she does now?
The rest of the mane 6 had more revealing CMC stories, AND had their childhoods revisited later on in the series, but Rarity hasn't.
Everyone's always talking about getting a Celestia episode and some more info about Rainbow's and AJ's parents, and I'm like "Fuck that shit! I wan't Rarity backstory dammit!"

I want to see her relationship with her parents more. I don't think Rarity was a spoiled rich girl as a kid, but I feel like her father was one of those "I have tons of money but I don't look or act like it" types. But then I don't think that she didn't build up Canterlot Boutique all by herself.

>>27710542

She didn't have a Boutique, she just had some sewing tools and stuff, presumably in her room.

I would guess her accent is self taught.

>>27711963
That was definitely the Carousel Boutique we saw in her CM flashback. There is no way that was her parent's house.

>>27711985

She probably got the boutique from her parents, as a gift probably. Sweetie Belle is quite spoiled too.

>>27711985

Twilight had quite a few new locations in her CM flashback, I'm sure, so I doubt that's the case. We also saw Pinkie's rock farm.

You're the only person who even mentioned Sweet and Elite. It does not say anything good about Rarity, and it even portrays her as almost being a monster.

It is about Rarity, though.

Why choose that episode?

Anyone want another Rarity and Fluttershy episode at some point? I feel like it's been a while.

>>27715345
> It does not say anything good about Rarity, and it even portrays her as almost being a monster.
Did... did you watch the episode? It does no such thing. It really doesn't do that at all.
The only parts that really can be pointed to that's she's almost a "monster" are:
>Rarity not finishing Twilight's present
This is definitely the worst thing she did in the episode, and the only reason she got out of it was because Twilight absolutely adored the unfinished product, more so than the intended finished design. She completely dodged a bullet.
>Lying about Opal being sick to everyone so she could stay
Again, really wrong of her, but in every episode each character makes a terrible choice in order to learn the lesson.

This episode was about the fine line between Rarity's social status, and how she should treat her friends. And honestly, she treaded that pretty reasonable. When no one was around she got nervous and ended up talking her friends up more than what they were. That's not uncommon. It's not like she was lying that she didn't know them. And towards the end of the episode, how she didn't want her friends to interact with her potential clients. These same people practically ruined the Gala, you think Rarity doesn't have legitimate reasons for not wanting to be seen around them?

But that's the thing. She has reasons to, but she never actually does. She never denies her friends, or acts like she's above them, she stands with them no matter what. That's what the episode proved. She can be tempted by high society when she's on her own, because it's what she loves, but she'll put her friends first in the end.

On top of that, the episode was even better by making the high society ponies respect her for that. I originally thought Fancy Pants was going to basically tell her to fuck off. It just shows how much she was willing to give up for her friends, I think that's far from "almost being a monster."

Personally I really liked the episode as well and have it as one of my favourites of S2.
It shows the struggle of Rarity finally climbing that social ladder and becoming popular, which is what she always wanted, while having to sacrifice her friends.
But look, if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?
Twilight probably won't kill herself over Rarity not fulfilling her promise and making the dress. Is hurting your friend's feelings worth finally being someone? Would you ditch a friend's party to make your dreams come true?
Rarity doesn't want to intentionally hurt her friends, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. A little lie here and there so your friends aren't hurt while you attend the high class events you always wanted.
The excuse with Opal is not enough but in for a penny in for a pound, Rarity can't just admit that she lied because that's even worse than straight up ditching Twilight, so she tries to balance between keeping her friends happy and in the dark while also keeping her high society circlejerk happy enough to not damage her name and to get more invitations for events.
And the best part of it all? It fucking paid off! Really, think about it. At the end she decided to back her friends up even though they were reckless idiots at the moment and at another time she could be righteously mad that they crashed the party. But they were there only because of her, her small lies and half-truths. At that point she felt like shit for lying to her friends about it all which heavily tipped the scales between friends and social status. They did so much for her and it was time to return the favor, sort of. Thanks to Fancy Pants not being a complete dickhead her social status got saved and her friends still don't know that she bullshitted them all, plus she earned some extra points for being a good friend that stands up for her friends.

Character limit a bitch.
Overall the episode has it all. Character development, interesting conflict throughout the episode, good song, some very fun moments.
It shows Rarity actually facing a problem, an inner conflict. It's a test of her character and she learns her lesson and comes out victorious.
Sure some of her choices and decisions in the episode are not the most moral or right ones, but they're ones that fit her character. They're all perfectly understandable, and the fact that she's not a perfect, flawless know-all character is what actually makes her real >implying, relatable and interesting.

>27717794
>It shows the struggle of Rarity finally climbing that social ladder and becoming popular, which is what she always wanted, while having to sacrifice her friends.

My gripe with the episode is that it doesn't show much of a struggle. It portrays Rarity with all her negative characteristics, but doesn't have her actually beat them.

She acts shallow, conceited, vain, and disloyal, and never really pays for it. She lets down Twilight by never finishing that dress, then lies about it, and rather than paying for it, she's bailed out by Fancy Pants.

I do like that FP, one of the Canterlot ponies, is actually portrayed as an empathetic character who swoops in to rescue the situation, but Rarity doesn't come across at all well here. Even her own cat thinks she's being a bitch.

Compare to Rarity Takes Manehattan. Rares is even more of a bitch in that, but the reason is a lot more understandable. Also, she actually pays for it, regrets it, and more importantly, makes up for it and is redeemed.

>>27717949

Similarly, in the essential Rarity episode (IMO), Suited for Success, she isn't perfect and ends up wallowing in failure at one point, but pulls out of it (in this case her failure was actually the fault of her friends to some extent).

Rarity is a good character on this show because she usually doesn't end up the victim of sloppy writing. She generally isn't Flanderized into one of her negative characteristics.

I really didn't like Rarity takes Manhattan. I felt it pandered way too much to the people who complained about Rarity not being generous enough, leading to her generosity feeling way too unnatural and forced. Generous people don't go round bragging about how generous they are, and give random things away that they don't even care about regardless. Nor should they do it with the expectation of getting something back either.

For me, Rarity's generosity is a lot more subtle, like spending time with her friends despite having a business to run almost on her own, listening to their problems and giving them advice, alongside giving objects of value to others when you feel like they need it. You shouldn't really be encouraging people, especially kids, to give random material things away to people anyway, as it's one of the easiest ways people can take advantage of you, and it can form fake friendships where the only reason someone hangs out with you is because you give them things.

She doesn't let Twilight down. Twilight loves the dress. Fancy Pants later shills it. The only one Rarity lets down with the dress is herself.
But I don't see the problem with her behaviour or how it's bad for her character, respectively. She gets presented with a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, considers it and acts upon it, neglecting her friends as a trade-off. At the end of the episode she learns that trade is not worth it and it's better to either be honest with your friends, because they'll understand when it means so much to you, or stand by them. Yeah, she lucks out and glides through without being punished for what she's done while shit sorts itself out, but the important conflict isn't Rarity vs the world, that's secondary, it's Rarity vs herself. I don't find that harmful for her character, nor do I consider anything in the episode as OOC.
In Rarity Takes Manehattan, Rarity gets angry, but the anger is completely reasonable and justifiable. She's under high stress, one of her life mottos was just shat upon by Suri and her friends who promised to help bitch at her because they won't get to see the show they only had the opportunity to see thanks to Rarity.
But she doesn't pay for it. In fact, she pays for not being a bitch to Suri and telling her to fuck off. Her friends just overslept by accident and understood why she was mad and weren't mad back at her. Rarity regrets her outburst but you can't really blame her for it. Her own friends don't blame her for it. There was nothing to make up for, Rarity went out of her way to get the extra tickets more to be satisfied with herself and clean her conscience.
>>27717967
S4S is like reversed S&E if I callback to the friends vs social status dilema. In S&E she goes for the status and only at the end realizes that friends are more important. In S4S she prioritizes her friends even though she knows the dresses are shit and later on it almost destroys her reputation or chance to get any.

>>She doesn't let Twilight down. Twilight loves the dress. Fancy Pants later shills it. The only one Rarity lets down with the dress is herself.

But that's important. She lets down her talent. And Fancy Pants only shills it to save Rarity after she fucked up. Everyone else was mocking it. It took an expert spin doctor to make it look good.

Even her own cat knew she was fucking up.

I cut a lot of slack for songs. Imagine being Daniel Ingram, and half of the episodes coming to you, they're like God, we utterly fucked this up, PLEEEEEEEAZE SAVE US DANIEL INGRAM.

And then he does.

This guy gets no credit for being the Alan Menken of TV animation.

There are so many episodes of this show that would have been utter disasters but then the song saved it.

By comparison I can't think of a single episode of anything where you'd think "wow this episode was really great and then this Daniel Ingram song fucked it up!"

I'm partial also because all of his Rarity songs are phenomenal. Oh, and the point. Sweet and Elite would have sucked without Becoming Popular and Suited for Success was the best episode of MLP ever because of Art of the Dress.

Later on her friends realize that they sort of fucked up and Spike luckily fixes shit through mysterious ways of luring Hoity Toity for that hot dragon doubledick.
The episode is more importantly about the view and relationship between a customer and an artist, I'm putting it more in context to S&E but that's not really what the ep is about.
But yes, she is not perfect, ends up wallowing, and her friends pull her out of it. They dragged her out, gave her the new dress and got Hoity Toity to not badmouth and laugh at Rarity everywhere. By her not speaking up her friends got her in her shitty situation but also dragged her out of it, Rarity didn't do shit to fix it.

>>27718074
Yeah that's why I don't like the first half with the song. It's generalizing Rarity just to her Element like a reminder for kids what the word generosity means in a dictionary. The rest is fun, though.

>>27718109
Agreed, just pointing it out. The whole point of S&E is Rarity being in conflict with herself, trying to get her dreams but neglecting her friends by doing so, which eats at her conscience.

>>27718121
I'd say that plenty of people in the fandom respect/admire Ingram. He wrote almost all of the songs in the show, and I don't know anyone that doesn't like at least a couple of them.
Sweet and Elite would have been good even without the song, because the premise is solid and has character development.
If you want an episode that would be nothing without the song, try A Friend in Deed.

>>27717949
>She acts shallow, conceited, vain, and disloyal,
When does she act like any of those in the episode? Other than lying about going home, she isn't like that at all, there's nothing for her to pay for, she didn't do anything wrong that wasn't resolved. She never lied about the dress or made fun of it, she never acted in that fashion which you seem to think. And the whole thing that she needed to "pay for" was risking her entire reputation by standing up for her friends. Fancy Pants didn't bail her out, he supported the good in her.

And Rarity was only a bitch in RTM because of the circumstance, I too would be a bitch if I was in that situation. But there was a lesson for her to learn there, and she did. She wasn't a bitch in S&E at all, I recommend rewatching it. Or at least cite specific examples.

>>27718635

I disagree about most everything in this other than Fancy Pants being bro-tier and Rarity having a good excuse for being a bitch in RTM.

Also RTM is a way better episode because Rarity atoned for her failures sincerely and got rewarded for it.

I don't see how Rarity not making the dress in S&E and then trying to pawn it off as a completed product is anything other than a huge letdown. Fancy Pants totally bailed her out. He did it because he understood what was going on, but Rarity still got away with a bunch of bullshit in that episode.

Except there's no failures to sincerely atone for that were not left unresolved in Sweet and Elite.

>I don't see how Rarity not making the dress in S&E and then trying to pawn it off as a completed product is anything other than a huge letdown.
Rarity not making the dress was wrong of her. That's absolutely correct. However, you're wrong in the sense that Rarity pawned it off as a complete product.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmpmIolr7zc
Look how it goes down. Twilight absolutely adored it as it was. What was Rarity supposed to do at this point, tell her it was unfinished when she clearly just said how she loved how simple it was? All that happened was Rarity dodged a bullet, and there's nothing to atone for. She also didn't try to scam Twilight into liking it. If she pushed Twilight into liking it, pretending that it was done, then you would be correct. But here, what happened was Twilight found her dress, and basically took it before Rarity could do anything. And she loved it. In what way could Rarity possibly have "paid for" that situation?

Did she get out of doing something wrong? Yes, not finishing the dress as originally intended was wrong of her. But she didn't try to manipulate Twilight into liking it. There's nothing that can be done at that point.

The other thing that you're missing is Rarity had nothing to pay for, because her friends already cut her off from the "What have I done" part of the episode. There's the part where Twilight catches Rarity going back and forth, and just as Rarity's about to make that "atone" as she's on her knees begging to Twilight to let her explain, Twilight already tells her that it's a great idea to go over. That's the first part of her atonement, her approval from her friends she was afraid she wouldn't get. Then she's afraid of how the fancy ponies will act towards her friends, so that's part two.

Fuck characters limits.

>>27718838
>Twilight absolutely adored it as it was.

Twilight has the fashion sense of a stump and was being mocked for how ridiculous the dress was until Fancy Pants intervened and, because he was a taste maker, declared it fashionable.

>>27718838
Cont.

So the first part was worry about her friends, but the second part, the biggest part of the episode, was fear about how what she wants, attention from high society ponies, would react to her friends. I think that's entirely reasonable. I definitely would be concerned about my friends hanging around where I want to work and making a bad impression. And it's not because I don't trust my friends, it's because I'd be concerned about how I'm seen professionally. And is that right? No. That's why Rarity has to stand up for herself, which she does.

What does she do wrong? She at first acts very concerned when her friends literally fuck up everything, who wouldn't be. And then she's about to be called out in front of everyone in the climax. And then what she does is she finally does what the episode had the point to, something every episode has, that turning point. She stands by her friends, sacrificing everything she had for there sake, because they are most important to her.

Fancy Pants may have bailed her out, but he bailed her out to the fancy ponies, not to her friends. He did Rarity a kind favor, as she did what was right by standing close to her friends as opposed to rejecting them for her own desires, he helped her by giving them his stamp of approval so that she wouldn't be ridiculed by the ponies who were bashing her the entire episode. I don't consider that bailing, I say that's a kind gesture because he saw the good in someone.

Then it ends in the traditional lesson format, with Rarity telling Celestia that, that she learned it's most important to be proud of your friends and home above all else. And Celestia approved.

So after all that, what's left unresolved that she needs to make amends for?

>>27718869
So are you suggesting Twilight isn't allowed to like what she likes?

Now I suppose you can bring up that Rarity has corrected Twilight's fashion before, however, that was for formal events, like the Gala. Wouldn't it be rude of Rarity to dictate what Twilight wants to wear to her birthday party?

>>27698578
>it's the makeup that makes her a whore
I really like Rarity, but she flirts with everyone.

>>27718924
>>So are you suggesting Twilight isn't allowed to like what she likes?

No, I'm just saying she has no fashion sense at all. Rarity fobbed off that awful dress on her even though her own cat hated it.

Twilight does not have fashion sense. Rarity does. She knew she was fobbing off a bullshit dress on someone who wouldn't know better.

Fancy Pants bailed her out. Because he understood the weird social situation.

>>27718947
She's only flirted with Fancy Pants and Tenderhoof.

>The pony in Putting Your Hoof Down
That wasn't flirting, at most you can say she was manipulating him to give her what she wanted for Fluttershy. At most.

>>27718947

Rarity-haters generally hate that she actually understands social situations.

Autistic people have problems with this.

>>27718969
>Rarity fobbed off that awful dress on her even though her own cat hated it.
What? We already went over this, watch the clip. She didn't deceive her of anything. Twilight caught the dress before Rarity could do anything, said "I love it" and took it, thanked Rarity, what was she supposed to do at that point? Honest? What would you do?

>She knew she was fobbing off a bullshit dress on someone who wouldn't know better.
No, she didn't. It would have been deception if she tried to manipulate Twilight into liking it. Twilight loved it off the bat. You can't change what people love and don't love, and saying Rarity should have told her not to love it goes against the very lesson in the episode.

>Fancy Pants bailed her out. Because he understood the weird social situation.
Do you know what it means to bail someone out? If Rarity continued to lie, and rejected her friends, and Fancy Pants got her out, THAT'S a bail out. What he did was a favor to Rarity for what good she did.

Go watch the episode, I think you're missing a lot of it. Because really, what is there to make amends left anymore? And what else was left unresolved at this point? How can it be resolved? Everyone's happy. What could possibly be done?

>>27718997

Quite white knighting this episode. Seriously.

It only came up because when favorite Rarity episodes came up, this one was notably absent.

It did not portray Rarity in a favorable light.

I find it interesting that you're fixated on the whole "fuck up, pay for it, be sorry, get rewarded" formula that's supposed to make a better episode. In what manner? Why?
Not to speak that Rarity wasn't rewarded in RTM for being sorry. Her friends weren't mad at her. She still won the contest. There was no payment for being angry for her friends, and no reward for being sorry.
>>27718969
She knew that the dress was unfinished, but she wasn't trying to give it to Twilight as such. The other anon already points this out in his posts.
I guess she could've said no you dumb shit this dress is awful stop liking it until it's finished, but that would've been a bit rude and would only get her into more trouble.

You're also really skimming through a lot of the points and counter-points to your arguments, and it would be nice if you actually addressed them or provided some examples, since right now we're just going around the dress without even considering the context of the scene.

>>27719005

>>27719005
White knighting the episode? What? You're the one who opened discussion to it by bringing it up. People are going to talk against you if they disagree. And I'm just asking that you back up things a little. You keep pointing to the dress, but we're already over that, there's nothing that can be done. What else needs to be done in the episode, I'm asking you and you're not really giving any other good reasons that show Rarity in such a bad light as you so claim.

It definitely isn't like how other episodes treat other ponies. For example, if we were talking about Putting Your Hoof Down, and how nasty Fluttershy was being, and you think she didn't properly make up for it, that'd be a different story. But there's not much to show Rarity was in a bad light here.

If you really want to see Rarity in a bad light, go read the comics, like the town war one. That's a horrible light there.

Goddamn. Everything in this post has (You) on it. Calm the fuck down. Jesus.

The reason that formula shows up so much in kids' shows is it's easy to understand. It's also good.

Most really good and popular stories (think Dickens) also have this formula. It's popular for a reason, and it's good for a reason.

The best Rarity episodes (like the ones other than Sweet and Elite) present an antithesis between her best and worst traits, and then a synthesis.

Like Rarity Takes Manehattan. Or more recently, Canterlot Boutique.

The reason people don't like S&E is it did a really shit job of it.

The episode had that structure. I don't know what else you could possibly want?

How was that present at all with Canterlot Boutique? The conflict wasn't within Rarity like with RTM and S&E. It was the conflict of what Rarity wanted and what what's-her-face wanted.

>The reason people don't like S&E is it did a really shit job of it.
>People
You're the only person I've ever seen who didn't like S&E. I didn't find the /mlp/ chart, but according to this episode ranking graph, Sweet and Elite is a 8.8/10, tied with Rarity Takes Manehattan and ranked above Canterlot Boutique.
http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt1751105
And not to mention, Sweet and Elite has never come up as the "shitty Rarity episode" in other threads about characters and their episodes.

If you're talking about this thread, it seems that other people have other preferences, not that they think it's shit. For me, Sweet and Elite isn't may absolute favorite Rarity episode, but not because I don't like it, I just prefer certain aspects of some, more. Sweet and Elite is absolutely in my Top 5 though.

But people do like S&E, apparently. 34th out of 112 is definitely not a shit episode. It's actually above both Canterlot Boutique and Rarity Takes Manehattan.

You asked why people like S&E, we gave you our reasons, you focused on one point while dismissing the rest without really proving anything or answering any other points and then started freaking out and spouting memes like a /b/tard.
I would ask you to stop behaving like a manchild on meme overdose but I guess that's too much to want from you. Get a grip.

>>27719124

Im just gonna say this because I do whenever I see these survey's mentioned, their format is horrible, asking people to rank like what over 120 episodes + 3 movies now IN ORDER is just insane and severely limits participation.

Not sure how to do it better but the way it's done now kinda always skews it towards the Nostalgia types.

>>27719312

Yeah RTM look a -32 dive, what the hell?

Look Before You Sleep, though I like it, isn't really better than ether RTM or Canterlot Boutique, but it's an S1 eps so it got the Nostalgiafag vote.

>>27719124

How the hell is Fall Weather Friends in the top 25 and above stuff like Hurricane Fluttershy and Sweet and Elite? It's a completely throughly average episode.

>>27719330
Yeah, I never necessarily agree with the list aside for general ballpark points. Like for example, it showing most Rarity episodes are well received. I just personally rank them differently.

>>27719272
I think her popularity exploded because of the transition from all the oldfags who finally got over their "I used to hate Rarity" phase. I've noticed that phrase used a lot more often.

I know, I've participated in the discussions. It was fine when we had only three seasons, but it's becoming cumbersome now. The problem is that we don't really know how to do it better. At least the comparing 1v1 I see as fair, although it takes a really long time to do them all.

>>27719330
Well there's been an obvious preference of older episodes in the voting, but on the other hand post-S4 RTM was 30, pre-S5 it somehow rose to 18 and now it dove 32 down, but there are also 12 new episodes ahead of it, if you discount those it's more like it's on position 38, which is not that much. Lower in the list the swings become bigger simply because there are 24 new episodes in the mix.

Though I'm not really one to speak on the matter of nostalgiafags because I'd probably count as one of them. I still like the show, I don't think it died after S1 or S2 or whenever, but I have all the pony in fullHD on my disk and whenever I feel like watching an episode, it's either the latest one, a Rarity one, or a S1/S2 one except for some really good gems here and there. Doesn't mean I put all of the old episodes in front of the newer ones, but if you took an average S1 episode, like Swarm of the Century at 59 on the list for example, and asked me if I'd rather watch that one or Filli Vanilli at 33 (wut), I would almost always go for the former, even though I basically know it by heart after all the years. It depends whether there's Rarity or CMCs in it as well.

I haven't paid much attention to pony popularity really. All I know is that Twi, Flutters and Luna are the three most popular ponies in the entire fandom due to being the most relatable to the fandom.
It's not about Rarity being all nice and sweet and perfect all the time that makes me and the rest of her fans love her, it's more about relating to her passions, her personality and her struggles. That's why Rarity has a small fanbase, because she's not as relatable or easy to connect with as much as the other mane 6, not because people feel she does things wrong too often like some may have you believe.

I think people find that she does more wrong things solely because they don't relate to her, and therefore don't see from her view.

That as well, yeah.

>>27719469

I honestly don't see near as many Fluttershy fans as I used too, relatablity can only get you so far when 90% of your episodes end up being pretty much the same.


I never got how people really "relate" to Luna ether, does she really have enough traits to relate to? It just feels like people project themselves onto her. And honestly if they really DO relate to her strongly, they probably need therapy for self-harm or something.

Twilight however remains incredibly popular. But I wouldn't say Rarity has a small fanbase ether, She does quite strongly on "best pony polls" on practically every major forum, though really the only constant is Twilight is always #1 and Applejack always #6. Iv seen every other character be 2-5 somewhere.

Wow we have almost as many post and more unique posters as the Fluttershy thread in like half of the time, im impressed.

>>27719655
I think Luna was just one of those "Looks cool and has fun head canon/fan canon". She's still really vague.

Also people might just like her as the original "I was evil and turned good before everyone else did"

>>27720427

Yeah but frankly until she was revisited WAAAAAYYYY later her evil version well... kinda sucked. Like Nightmare Moon is more intimidating in her 4 minutes in the S5 finale than in the entire pilot.

I find the idea that a character that is basically half fanon is able to compete with the leads of the show in popularity to be well... insane though. Like your more liking your own vision or some random fic authors vision of that character than the character themselves.

Like I read fan fic but Iv always in any fandom made sure to never let it color my opinion of any characters because I know everyone is gonna write them differently.

>>27720875
I don't think it's that crazy.
Part of the reason I love Rarity so much is because of my headcanon about her past which is somewhat based on my own past experiences. I adore how she's portrayed currently in the show as well, of course, but I feel a lot closer to her because of that headcanon.

I want to pump Rarity full of come.

I want to lick her hooves.

>>27722232

How would you react?

>>27722397

I'm surprised the stallion boners didn't knock over that table.

>>27722397
I'd have jumped her bones right then and there.

>>27722397

Also it's especially hot that she completely upstaged an otherwise awesome and completely gratuitous ass shot from Rainbow.

>>27722232
>"What are you talking about Rar-OH CELESTIA NO SHE'S GONNA SUCK THEM OFF."

>>27722555

Damn son of Satan trips.

The great thing about Rarara is she does not suck off anyone.

Just the idea that she might bends everyone to her will.

Normally I'd agree, but look at the popularity of characters like Derpy and Doctor Whooves. They've pushed out Mane 6 ponies, like Rarity out of merchandise so they can fit in just because they're popular in the fandom. It's absolutely possible.

I'm going to kill this thread.

Anyone who does NOT want to fuck Rarity please post now.

>>27722397
I'd fuck her there and then.

>>27723691

Congratulations, you are one of the few people here who are not completely gay.

>>27723595
I would rather snuggle with her than have sexual relations.

>>27722752

Dat Outfit and Hair UNF.

>>27678823
I love Rarity

>>27722555
>suck them off
I mean I know Rarity's all about giving instead of receiving, but sometimes a girl gotta treat herself, y'know?

If I could be with Rarity for a day I would cuddle her and kiss her and tell her how much I love her
