I have a question to mid-2025 /mlp/ who would you say is the best Pony of the mane 6.
For me its Rarity.
https://strawpoll.com/ajnE15QYxnW

>no Sunset
ewwww

>>42321887
EQG is the most jewish mlp content there is

>>42321887
This but unironically

>mane 6
It's 2025. There's only one main character, anon.

>>42321793 (OP)
Ponkie because she stayed true to what the element of ponkie stands for from the beginning to the end of the show, plus she got the best ending out of the 6.

>For me its Rarity
explain

>>42321887
What part of MANE 6 do you not understand

>>42321793 (OP)
Rarity is dominating so far.

>>42321914
>explain
OK
>Funny
>as a lot of character depth
>has the most consistently good episodes, >attractive
>great songs
>great voice
>fun personality
>artistic
>is a breath of fresh air in terms of character archetype
>confident
>artistic
>competent
>hard working
>pretty

>>42321944
I confess that I'm a Rarifag that only wanted to read another anon praising Rari so I agree with most of your points except
>pretty
Which should be
>beautiful
and
>is a breath of fresh air in terms of character archetype
Which requires further explanation

>>42321958
>Which requires further explanation
She's unapologetically feminine and doesn't try to be "relatable" in how she acts, while also being extremely hardworking, and amibitious.
I also like how she can be both super generous and selfish at times.

>>42321927
I was expecting a lot more Pinkie votes desu

>>42321964
>She's unapologetically feminine and doesn't try to be "relatable" in how she acts, while also being extremely hardworking, and amibitious.
She's also not afraid to throw kicks, so she's no damsel in distress!

>selfish
To me the right word is "vain" which reflects how much she cares for her looks while making a good contrast with her generosity, making her unique and deep as a character.

>>42321985
>She's also not afraid to throw kicks
That's one of the things I love about season one that gets lost later on. Rarity's plainly the most confident in a brawl, it implies she's been through stuff we never see.

>>42321944
I just laugh because of Rarity’s cute melties whenever something doesn’t go her way, I mean it’s pretty hard to not laugh when she immediately goes to crying on the couch and stuffing her face with ice-cream.

>great voice
can confirm
>great songs
can confirm
>fun personality
I feel Rarity would be neurotic at times, but when she’s not neurotic she’d be great.
Oh, and Sweetie Belle/Rarity’s relationship is also adorable.

>>42321793 (OP)
Mentally ill zoomie faggot artstyle.

>>42322007
This was drawn by a chinese person. Also its a good artstyle so shut the fuck up you perpetually online, buzzword spamming mentally ill weirdo.

She also is weirdly obsessed with how other people see her, and ruined her friends birthday party over a stupid dance. Rarity is worst pony imo. Best is Applejack because of her country charm and because shes so gosh drenched in sweat... in the heat... and the fragrance of apples wafting toward you.

>>42321922
Be patient, sunset-fags are brown.
Their schools never taught them how to count.

>>42322044
One of the reasons why Rarity is the best because she has flaws and works through them and learns from them.
Also Applejack has done bad stuff too, every member of the mane 6 has actually with Rainbow Dash doing the most damage.

>>42322066
>Rarity is the best because she has flaws and works through them and learns from them
Does she though? Granted I only watched through to season 5, but as far as I can remember Rarity never really stopped being vain or theatrical at all.

When did /mlp/ start hating pinkie pie? She have the least votes.

>>42322075
>implying being vain and theatrical are bad things or "flaws"
Stop being lame.

>>42321991
>season one
She also fought bare hoofed at the Canterlot wedding. And in that same episode she rushed to grab the bride's bouquet. Both Rarity and Applejack are wife material depending if you want a more feminine or a more tough mare but they got you covered no matter what.

>>42321996
>Oh, and Sweetie Belle/Rarity’s relationship is also adorable.

>>42322080
>She grew out of her flaws, that's why she's the best
>Lol not those flaws, those ones are good, not even flaws really

>>42322090
I mean the flaws in the sense of being as selfless. She becomes less and less selfish as the show goes on, though fortunately she still has some selfishness as that it is interesting.

>>42322089
Will she ever tell her the truth, about who her real mom is

>>42322078
I'm still waiting to read what the Rainbowfags have to say to justify their horrible taste

>>42322094
She's better off just thinking of Derpy as the weird pony who is a little too nice to her

>>42322093
>sense of being as selfles
Okay, but again, when though? Simple Ways and Rarity Takes Manehattan are both season 4, and she's still pretty self centered there. Made in Manehattan is season 5, and again, she's still pretty self centered. And that's not getting into even later episodes like Honest Apple.

>>42322107
She is both selfless and self centered. She literally has given many ponies opportunities out of the kindness in her heart, she literally took the time to make growns for all he friends at the grand galloping gala over and over to suit their obsessive schizophrenic tastes.

>>42322124
But part of her motivation for making them dresses in the first place was to attract more business for herself, so she's still not doing it for nothing.
>She literally has given many ponies opportunities out of the kindness in her heart
I have no idea what you're even talking about here. Unless you mean the ponies she's given jobs to?

>>42322096
She's hot.

>>42322096
I just ignore the episodes where I dislike her characterization.

>>42322130
>But part of her motivation for making them dresses in the first place was to attract more business for herself
Except she also had a amateur fashion event which was made to help lesser known designers get noticed she did that out of the kindness of her heart as Rarity was already known and famous at that point.
Also that episode Applejack wasn't being the nicest pony either.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOJqIgRR0Hk

>>42322124
I feel like this image is pretty harsh on Fluttershy. Flutters tried to accept her initial dress, and was hesitant to give criticism on the design. She only started spouting off with all that dialogue after Rarity continually pressed her into it. It's a bit unfair to act like she's being an ungrateful bitch when Rarity was the one pressing her to criticize it in the first place.

>>42322145
>Rarity was the one pressing her to criticize it in the first place.
Rarity was getting annoyed with Fluttershy's cageyness since Fluttershy implied that she didn't like it so Rarity was just like "Just say it already, bitch"

>>42322143
>Also that episode Applejack wasn't being the nicest pony either.
Rarity and the other judges have all done and said things just as bad or worse than AJ did. Hell, picrel was their reaction to her calling a dress "still just black". If calling a dress black gets this kind of reaction, then what kind of criticism is AJ supposed to give? She's just doing what Rarity told her too, and Rarity blames her when it all blows up. Applejack was never a 'brutally honest' character in previous episodes, she only does it here because it's what Rarity told her to do, until Rarity changes her mind and then acts like a bitch about it.

>>42322152
But why does that make Fluttershy a bitch?

>>42322153
No one said that Rarity was a "perfect" pony. She the best pony partially because of her "imperfections" which is why despite being initially hated Rarity has grown to be a fan favorite.
As the poll ITT shows.

>>42322153
Applejack was being an autistic bitch in that episode don't make excuses for her anon.
Its fine as all members of the mane 6 have had their bitch moments.

>>42322159
But how was she a bitch though? What did she say that as harsh as what Hoighty Toity says in other episodes?

>>42321793 (OP)
>The two highest rated ponies in the poll are Unicorns
>The two lowest rated ponies in the poll are earth ponies
/mlp/ is not even trying to be subtle with their racism.

>>42322153
Uh oh...
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
SOMEBODY MADE ME RING MY RETARD BELL! THIS GUY! THIS GUY RIGHT HERE MADE ME DO IT!
I RUNG THE BELL I RING WHEN SOMEBODYS BEING RETARDED! DING DING DING DING DING.
i
am going
TO RAPE YOU.
i am going to rape you IN BED.
i am going to rape you IN THE SHOWER
i am going to rape you at BREAKFAST and DINNER.
I AM GOING TO RAPE YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN TO STOP SAYING STUPID SHIT.
I WILL CLEANSE THE BOARD IN A SEA OF RAPE UNTIL EVERYTHING RETARDED HAS BEEN RAPED LIKE THE CHICKENS

>>42322164
Calm down Starlight.

>>42322164
Oh my God it's you again. You never reacted to my meme from the other thread. What do you think of it?

>>42322166
Glimmy would post on 4chan, wouldn't she?

>>42322155
You don't need the context of Suited for Success to know why Fluttershy is a bitch. Her entire character is about "ow, it's always the quiet ones!" so she switches from "shy" to the actual bitch she is so often.

>>42322173
I mean, I agree Flutters is actually kind of a bitch, I just don't see how Suited is a good example of it.

>>42322141
Kind of a copout, don't you think?

>>42322183
It's what you have to do with the whole show. Every character has episodes where they're written poorly, if I took every single one seriously I'd be miserable.

>>42322167
Like looking in a mirror. A mirror, and I admire the reflection in it.
I will call you peter, for you are my rock upon which I will build the foundation of a house of rape. This meme will serve as a warning to generations of Anons to come.
"Why can't I say some ignorant and RETARDED shit like a DUMB LITTLE RETARD, Dad-sama?"
"Because Takeshi will RAPE YOU"
AND I WILL. ILL RING MY BELL AND BAPTIZE THE RETARDED WITH THE seminal WINE of my VINE (penis).
Everyone will know because of this meme that I have an extremely classy penis, a graceful and beautiful penis of perfect proportions, manly and wonderful. Like a hamburger, moist and delicious. This meme will show my power, my absolute authority, my shimmering glimmering beautiful and classy erection will be channeled through it in memories and whispers.The retarded will fall silent the moment it's seen, for like the bat signal, they're about to get raped by a man. With his penis, his delightful, wonderful, graceful penis.
It is in service of my honorable mission to RAPE everyone STUPID and RETARDED.
Stand proud, Anon....
You weren't retarded.

>>42322195
I get that, but when it comes to Rainbow Dash, ignoring episodes where she has shitty characterization means ignoring damn near 90% of episodes. I just think the more media you have to ignore, the more I wonder what even draws you to that character in the first place.

>>42322176
At the end of her rant she tips her head up smugly, then when she sees Rarity's reaction she says
>but whatever you want to do is /fine/...
in a clearly passive-aggressive tone. She's being a little bit of a bitch.

>>42322206
I don't think you have to ignore that many moments to enjoy her character. I might have a higher tolerance for asshole behavior than you.

>>42322199
When I FIRST SAW YOUR MEME, I CRIED. i cried, and then cried more. Then cried a little less, then cried a lot more. As I type this, with my beautiful hands (which are quite beautiful!) My penis lays here between my legs limply, the head hidden away, not erect. Not leaking precum. Not agitated in the slightest. A little tingling in the testicles, but not much.
I want to embrace you, with my beautiful hands, holding you close to me while i stroke your head, reminding you of how proud I am of you. Then afterward, I'll take you with me to my basement to watch me plow through a hoard of bitches, my hips flopping baack and forth like a fucked up salmon as I ferret my cock around deep in the holes a plenty. Vagina panties will drop all over the place.
You and I later would grab a manly drink, sitting on my front porch as we look at the stars together... I tell you about the first pony fic that ever made me cry my powerful and STRONG tears, you nod your head solemnly, perhaps somewhat uncertain if Takeshi will bend you over and RAPE the BROWN out of you.
But I won't, you are my Peter, and with me you are safe. I will protect you from dangers.
Young man, I will never rape you, so long as you don't say anything retarded about MLP.

So why DOES Pinkie have so few votes? I thought she was one of the more popular characters.

>>42322237
I like Pinkie, I just don't love her as much as other characters.

>>42322239
like her more right fucking now then

>>42322237
>>42322240
objective character rating scale (I’m totally right btw)
Rarity > Twilight > Pinkie > Rainbow Dash > Applejack > Fluttershy

>>42322250
>Rainbow Dash over anyone
Objectively shit, maybe.

>>42322250
>the super honest, hard working, incredibly hot country girl ranks below rainbow trash

>>42322080
I'm pretty sure Celestia and discord can physically help twilight with their size alone. Why are they so lazy and useless?

>>42322265
Applejack isn't enough of a power fantasy for the average anon/normie.

>>42322157
I only really started this conversation because you talked about the "flaws she worked through and learned from" as reasons to like her. Yet, when I pressed you on exactly that, asking what flaws she worked through, you pivot and started saying her flaws are what maker her interesting, or said they don't count as flaws in the first place. It's fine if you like Rarity, but making stuff up and then shifting the goal post afterward when contrary evidence is pointed out only makes you look in denial. You can't just say she grew past her flaws while simultaneously saying half her flaws don't count.

>>42322342
>discord
>helping
He was probably hoping she'd die so he could steal her main character slot.

>>42321793 (OP)
I love all of them but I voted for Dashie because she's the coolest

>>42322529
What makes her 'cool'?

>>42322535
She's fast, funny and brave

>>42322495
As the most level-headed and well-adjusted member of the mane cast, she's a power fantasy for the thinking man.

>>42321793 (OP)
Applejack, although Rarity is a VERY close second

>>42322434
She's so glad we made her famous

>>42322250
For me its
Rarity >Twilight. Rainbow Dash > Applejack > Pinkie > Fluttershy

>>42322515
>pic
Rarity is right

>>42322515
She did work on her flaws she was more selfish and dramatic but she toned those down a little. But she's still dramatic and has some occasional selfish moments because if she didn't have those she wouldn't be Rarity.

>>42322561
>funny
Wrong. She's a meanie. If you liked fun you should have voted for Ponkie instead.

>>42322951
>she was more selfish and dramatic but she toned those down a little.
Except one of your choices of evidence was an episode from season 1, and the other was Rarity hosting a fashion contest. And then you disregard any other flaws. She didn't really grow at all, at least not that you've shown.
>>42322945
It's right after she said she had Applejack's back 100%, only to immediately change her tune and turn against her as soon as she found out she would benefit from Applejack losing.

>>42322211
Not to mention the rant itself makes no sense when you actually break it down and makes her out to be an ungrateful cunt for the dress

>>42323931
yeah shown here
>>42322124
The fact that Fluttershy was so smug about her "critiques" despite not knowing what she's talking about makes it look worse.

>>42323703
I consider Ponkie the second coolest pony after Doshie for that matter

>>42321793 (OP)
Updated Rankings.

>>42324894
Surprising list. I guess it makes sense though when you look at which generals are active and which are nearly dying.
