Why do the writers go out of their way to make ponies so frivolous? Fluttershy becomes a model -> Suddenly she's the most popular pony in Ponyville, Fluttershy goes back to just being a Hero of Equestria -> ponies start ignoring her again. And there are many such cases in the show of ponies caring more about fashion designers and pop stars than heroes and princesses, what are they trying to tell little girls?

Also, why do the writers treat Rarity's job as one of glamor and success while they treat Applejack's job as one of failure and stupidity? Rarity opens up a new boutique every season, Rarity gets her dick sucked by the most important ponies in Equestria, fashion critics and pop stars. Meanwhile the last time Applejack expanded her business was in Over a Barrel, Applejack is too stupid to know that bats are good for her crops despite living on a farm for generations. Applejack does things in a stupid and inefficient ways and even ponies who have never farmed before are better than her. So why are they telling little girls that they should worship fashion designers and that farmers are losers and anyone could do their job better than them?

It's a realistic portrayal of how people act. How many important farmers, miners, mechanics, soldiers etc do you know of in comparison to singers or athletes? People focus on entertaining things more than dull but important ones. I highly doubt they're intentionally pushing a moral where that's considered correct though.

Applejack's family founded Ponyville, they've been pillars of the community since the very beginning and she's saved Ponyville dozens of times. She's not just some random farmer and she should be treated with more respect than a random pop star.

But that's not the real problem here, even if most ponies ignored Applejack you could still show her job as an important and fulfilling one, instead the show goes the exact opposite route and shows the Apple family as a bunch of retards who shouldn't be allowed to run a lemonade stand much less a Apple Farm.

Applejack is one of the most respected ponies in Ponyville. She may not be treated like a celebrity because she doesn't trigger any pony's sensationalism fetish, but fanatical fame is overrated when you can be loved and admired from a comfortable distance instead
