Pony haters(mount), this is not for you, srsly not for you.

[The Bum]

Who is your favorite pony?
I have made poll for these MLP fans. Join the brony revolution!

[Lord_Mountbatten]

I don't recall ever giving the impression I was even on any side when it came to this.

[Minazen]

I'm under the impression this Pony cartoon carries some sort of satanic, subliminal messages in it considering the amount of mindless fans that watch it.

... no offense.

Are you trying to send a message by making Twilight Sparkle's name uncapitalized at the start?

I actually started watching and regret it...

[The Bum]

WHY HAS RAREITY ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE

'Cause nobody likes her, obviously.

[Pinmissile]

Hm, is Michael drunk or something? I'm guessing not. So English is his first language? Then why are his posts so.. Untidy?

Squints eyes

Oooh he's from New Jersey.

Pinkie Pie. Any day.

[Blackadder51]

But, but.

WHY HAS RAREITY ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE

The better question would be:

WHY HAS FLUTTERSHY ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE

Also edit: "Their Cools"....

I'm sorry, I tried to hold back. But, using the wrong their/there/they're just gets on my nerves...

[Pinmissile]

Because there clearly aren't enough bronies in this community.

Fire the friendship cannon! It's time to convert the masses!

(+1 for Bum btw)

[Blackadder51]

She lacked confidence in her speech. Rareity however had a fantastic speech and all loved it

[Pinmissile]

Hey Black, I found something for you.

[Zinrius]

*throws fire bottle into topic* adjikshdbj!!

[Blackadder51]

Hey Black, I found something for you.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! =D

Its so pweety

[Zehydra]

I watched some episodes of MLP, and I must say it is MASSIVELY overrated.

However, OT, I'll go with fluttershy.

[Pinmissile]

some

How many?

EDIT:

I'm asking you this because the show actually gets it's pace after a few episodes.

[RexDark]

Fluttershy! I choose you!

[Hytro]

WHY HAS RAREITY ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE

Now she have 2 :3

[Pinmissile]

I totally understand the ones who don't have a favourite pony.

They're all so awesome!

[makkaal]

WHY HAS RAREITY ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE

Because she's pretty much the most uninteresting character on the show?
Apart from being persnickety about everyday things, she barely creates tension that can be taken seriously, she doesn't bear any conflict that I can't dismiss with the thought "What a b****", and so far she hasn't even brought a significant solution to any plotline other than those that were exclusively constructed for and/or by herself.


Please keep in mind that all of this is IMHO.

Spoiler! :

Actually, Rarity is the only pony I openly dislike. Just in case you didn't catch that. You know when that happened? Third episode, when she expresses her vision of the Grand Galloping Gala: Falling in love with the prince after a ludicrious amount of coincidences entirely based on her one-dimensional self-perception ("I'm just SOO beautiful"). For me, this established her as naive, narcissistic and superficial; all of which I hate in people with a passion. And so far, nothing she has done has come close to making up for that.

I'd say one of the few episodes where she bears any significance at all is the sleepover one, and even in that she just looks like a dislikable antagonist because the conflict arises from her being unnecessarily picky. Mind you, it's not like with "Monk" where her pickiness derives from/amounts to an illness, yet she plays it out as if it was one.

The other one could be the Diamond Dogs ep, don't get me started on it. It's original (from a writer's perspective) to have her find a solution to a problem by (ab-)using her absolutely worst and most unattractive trait, but nonetheless it's her worst and most unattractive trait! Why would you think it's a good idea to teach young girls that it's not only okay but constructive to constantly b**** about an undesirable situation? Why wasn't the writer slapped on the head when he proposed that plotline? Why do I have to bear her continuous whining? I feel as tortured as the antagonists, and as the viewer rooting for the protagonist, I shouldn't!

However, there's one positive example: the fashion show episode revolving around her sewing the dresses for her friends.This is the one episode where I honestly enjoy her as a character - she puts the pressure/conflict on herself which shows a tear in her personality: Finding perfection vs. satisfying her friends. Those tears are what I love about characters.

You know Black's going to unleash the fury of a thousand suns, honest opinion or not? Good knowing you, Makk.


Uninteresting? You clearly have not read her psychological profile.

I doubt it. Why should he? It's a matter of taste, is it not? He probably doesn't like Fluttershy as much as I do. If he "unleashed the fury of a thousand [TNT blocks]", it would entirely revise my rather positive impression I had of him. It's called shooting yourself in the foot, I believe?

Uninteresting? You clearly have not read her psychological profile.

I read it, and to be honest, I'm not convinced. But I have to admit, I overlooked the sarcasm she uses, which is defnitely a plus.

Spoiler! :

However, that profile is horribly written since the author either goes on and on about the same arguments without moving forward and/or the arguments simply - and this actually made me laugh - support the contradicting thesis that Rarity's character outline is actually more fitting for an antagonist (author even mentions "for a villain").

I could go on about how I disagree, but I don't think this is something you guys would want to read.

One thing though that really made me cringe: "But if there’s one thing Rarity knows how to do…its how to wage verbal warfare." The author pulls up the Diamond Dogs episode as a positive portrayal of Rarity while I believe it only cements her attributes as b****y, fussy and holier-than-thou.
But anyway. That's not verbal warfare, which would be debating. She debate in other episodes, but of all storylines it's in one that centers on her when she doesn't.
What she does is whining with the intention to irritate people. And passive-aggressiveness (as later mentioned) is nothing to be proud of, it's just a cowardly attempt at resolving an issue from a distance, impersonally, to avoid direct conflict - in my experience, p.-a. only makes everything worse.

Let me put it this way: For me, Rarity displays more (to me) dislikable characteristics than likable ones, be they understandable or not (e.g. being an entrepreneur and seeing about her work to be noticed). Being lady-like is surely something positive, but a woman can be a lady without annoying the crap out of everyone around her with egocentrism.

I'm not saying she's a badly written character, I'm saying I don't like that character.
