They really do believe barfing on the rug is polite. It makes no sense at all. If my cat is about to barf, she always makes a desperate break for any rug, blanket or doormat nearby. When I cry out “No! No kitty, not the rug!” She starts moving faster, thinking I want her to get on the rug as quickly as possible. WHY.
Aaaaaand Discord is making a documentary about bronies.

I was going through the Rarity tag and I have to say, I’m astonished at how many people dislike her!
Let’s see some of the frequent things that come up about her:
- Rarity is self-centered
- She’s vain
- She’s the token “pretty girl” of the show
- We
- Can
- Go
- On
- Forever
- Because
- She
- Has
- So
- …
Everyone dislikes Rarity to begin with. It has to do with her character type, the spoilt and vain rich girl, obsessed with appearances. Her type is often used as cheap villain material by terrible shows and movies. Basically, she’s the kind of character we’ve been conditioned to hate.
Some people remain stuck in that attitude throughout the series. They never catch any of the wonderful characterization and development that Rarity goes through. They never understand the nuances that make her so likable. All they ever see is “stuck-up bitch” and refuse to look any further.
Oh, and I also really dislike it when people use the term ‘bitch’ in relation to the show. “Flutterbitch” for example… Yeah, it really shouldn’t have a place in FiM.

Here are some thoughts on gender via Countercurrents:
Men are always striving to climb upwards. Femininity is horizontal: radiating out warmth and nurturing toward surrounding others, and producing new others to warm and nurture. Masculinity…
I feel compelled to point out a fatal flaw in your reasoning.
Your article boldly and tantalizingly offers to show us “Pinkie /…/ at her most sexualized.”
It appears to me as though you obviously haven’t seen her in her chicken costume.
Hawt.
Or her jazzercise outfit:
Kinky.
What I’m trying to say is, claiming that a scene from FiM is sexually charged is projecting your own personal ideas about sex and sexual fulfillment onto something which is inherently asexual. The censors for this show are very prudent. Despite the bedroom eyes and being covered in chocolate, there is nothing sexual about Pinkie Pie. She is reveling in her own gluttony, nothing more. Claiming any apparent sexuality is inferring something which is not present in the show’s encoding.
Second, I feel that I should express my disappointment at your apparent failure or refusal to see one of the show’s core messages on gender. From your treatment of the idea that femininity is ‘horizontal’ whereas masculinity is ‘vertical,’ I cannot help but get the impression that you believe that only males can or should be masculine. Because I can think of at least one example of “man heroic” from the show that is not done away with as militaristic and obsolete:
It is, however, performed by a woman.
Be it the gravity-assisted breaking of the sound barrier or the tender love and care of animals, there are many ways to be a girl. Faust is borrowing from and adapting, I think, Judith Butler in trying to teach this to her audience.
Conversely, FiM is also trying to show that there are many different ways to be a boy. The idea that Flim and Flam are denying their masculine potential because they have embraced invention over destruction is, in my opinion, just kind of embarrassing to even consider (and I just admitted to finding Pinkie’s chicken costume kinky). What are we, cavemen? Is being a savage something to strive for?
So this weeks episode focussed on Twilight’s anxieties - Namely her compulsion for long term planning and lack of emotional security without a schedule. This isn’t to put her down for it; the same inclination to organise got her through Winter Wrap Up and found her perfectly suited to being…
All this SAT score and IQ test research is certainly compelling. They make a very strong case for the existence of racial tendencies. However, applying them to an individual and trying to figure out where they fit on a “racial spectrum” is just silly.
If Twilight exhibits behavior that is typical to those of white descent, does that rule out the possibility of her being black? The research you’ve linked us to seems to be very eager to dispel that idea. It is quick to remind us that these IQ statistics are an ‘average,’ not a ‘rule.’
Trying to reverse engineer Twilight Sparkle’s racial heritage from this data is therefore perpetrating the oldest logical fallacy in the book. If she plans ahead, she must have asian blood? Blacks, overall, show a tendency towards violence (according to ‘Race, Evolution, and behavior’). Twilight violently tackles Pinkie in Luna Eclipsed. Does that make her black? It’s simply a false cause, a non sequitur.
More importantly, while obvious trends exist, what purpose could pointing them out possibly serve? Trying to quell an irrational fear of that which is not politically correct? Stop all that annoying dark skinned humanized Twilight fanart? Drum up support for wholesale international racial segregation… what?
