Is Rarity Asian-coded?

>>42517375 (OP)
Is OP faggot-coded?

>>42517375 (OP)
Rarity is a Filipina

The fuck does that even mean?

>>42517399
She's wearing pants

>>42517403
Like programmed.. or animated in this case. I mean, MLP was animated somewhere in SEA so, yeah, OP is right, she is in fact Asian-coded.

>>42517418
In Canada*

>>42517375 (OP)
She's pony-coded.

Only in the sense of "me rove you rong time".

>>42517384
Not the OP, but I am

>>42517375 (OP)
Not in the slightest. People just see her eye shape and go nuts, look at(and listen to) her parents. If she were in real life she'd have been born in Wisconsin, in a city that isn't Madison or Milwaukee. In other words, bumfuck nowhere, wouldn't have even seen an asian person in real life.

>>42517387
Rarity's parents always seemed so nice. Like, there is just that blue collar bubba redneck type farmhand and fifties housewife who really did put in the effort to become middle class to become less boorish and and raise their children to be middle class too. And when they succeeded, their own middle class kid dislikes them now, because she only managed to climb being an independent businessmare and upper-middle class artist, instead of being part of high society. There is an entire story and social commentary in there. I'm pretty sure they gave the funds so Rarity could afford the Carousel Boutique to begin with,

>>42517375 (OP)
Has Rarity ever said "CHING LING PING LING"?
No
Has Rarity ever eaten a dog or a cat?
No

>>42517375 (OP)
Rarity's so white she's almost blue.

>>42517505
This. Rarity is a Midwest girl but she hates it and wants to be boswash high society.
Kinda sad how the writers never expanded on that, it'd be a cool plotline

>>42517375 (OP)
Well she's not called Lality

There is literally an episode about that.

>>42517375 (OP)
She's plap-coded

>>42517934
>>42519699
there should have been an episode where rarity drops her fake accent. i've thought about what if she permanently dropped it after sweet and elite, but i think it might work better if instead of a permanent status quo change, it just lasted for an episode, she learns a lesson related to it, then picks it back up.

>>42517375 (OP)
She's A-mare-ican.

>>42519893
Its not fake if you keep it going long enough, you get acclimatized.

rarity was always british to me

>>42517533
>And when they succeeded, their own middle class kid dislikes them now
This always happens with women who their parents' coddle. You raise them to have everything their heart desires and then they step on your soul.

>>42517375 (OP)
No she’s French coded
>>42517505
>>42517934
>>42519893
Also this.

>>42519893
The kino way to do it would be to have an episode where Applejack's feeling crummy and Rarity makes her feel better by talking in her untrained voice, and then in a later episode Rarity's having an awful time and insists that the only thing that would make her feel better is Applejack putting on the Manehattan accent she has in Cutie Mark Chronicles.

>>42520192
That sounds neet and sweet

>>42520153
The funniest shit is how Twilight's parent have completely succeeded at this, they raised their upper middle class children to be the absolute height of the society, a princess and fucking a princess and their children love them too. They are even the grandparents of the first natural born alicorn in atleast a millennium. Twilight Velvet fucking won, imagine how smug she can be at her book club "oh, your little colt is a dentist, Cheryl? how nice"

>>42520216
Sounds awful and 3DPDish.

I'm sorry you have family issues dude, but I just jumped into the conversation. I think Velvet would be pretty sweet and humble. Unless, you're suggesting she lacks snowpity?

>>42521187
"Dislike" may or may not be too strong a word, but you know Rarity would be mortified if her high society *acquaintances* saw her with her parents

>>42521246
>continues to rage about a fictional character being called a winner

>>42520216
Nouveau riche are looked down upon, so it makes sense that somebody who advanced from the lower class to the middle class would be insecure about their station, while somebody who advanced from the upper class to the upper-upper class would not be.

>>42521273
They don't watch the show.

>>42521291
Its even more hilarious because of effortless Twilight and Shiny is going about it. They literally do not give a shit about what high society thinks about them. Rarity struggles being a self-made businessmare and a creative for nine seasons without nothing to show for it, she is not a step closer to her goal than in season one.

>>42521273
Are you talking pre-sweet and elite here? Embarrassment is more of an inward shame than outward contempt. Most of us would feel the same shame over having our normie families meet horsefucker friends.
>42521288
Damn, cares not for snowpity. Only lives for the (You). This isn't a good look for Twifag bros.

Rary is the sis who stepped up.

>>42521322
>Most of us would feel the same shame over having our normie families meet horsefucker friends.
I wouldn't be ashamed of my parents in front of (you), if anything it would be the other way around

>>42521327
It's implied both ways. I won't pretend everyone has perfect cringe free parents that /mlp/ would approve of.

>>42517533
>>42517934
>>42519893
What if there was an episode where Applejack snapped and went off on Rarity and Rainbow Dash for being too ungrateful about their parents where she doesn't have any? That could've been an interesting conflict, though probably a little too heavy and nuanced for this show.

>>42521404
You realize not everyone wants to be raped by their own parents, right?

>>42521437
Shhh, AJ, a main cast mare is speaking

>>42521437
This actually reminds me of a story I read on Fimfic, which was all about Applejack's thoughts during Tanks for The Memories, where she basically thinks it silly for Dash to be so upset when her loss is so minor, but she still ultimately decides to swallow her own hurt to be sympathetic to Dash. Funny enough, there were still people in the comment section who were calling AJ in the story a cold hearted bitch for daring to have the audacity to think her suffering was worse than Rainbow's not having a pet for a few months.
If this were an actual episode, I'm sure the resolution would have been Applejack apologizing to everyone else for being so mean, and that actually their relationships are great and she was just too close minded on how parent child relationships should be.

>>42521491
>Funny enough, there were still people in the comment section who were calling AJ in the story a cold hearted bitch for daring to have the audacity to think her suffering was worse than Rainbow's not having a pet for a few months
KEK, Dashfags are next level

>>42521404
The later seasons couldn't do it at all. They dropped the entire angle about fashion and Canterlot and high society not being good at all from the first few seasons and started unironically portraying them as positive. It would be too nuanced for the nu-writers to handle and much of it would have been lost on autismos anyway.

>>42521491
Reminder that Appul never really had a win during the entirety of the show. She was essentially the same everyday character with everyday problems while all her friends went on to achieve great things and get rewarded for it.

>>42521500
That's nothing. There is one AiE fic about RD striking ANon with lightening, almost killing him, and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. For the crime of almost killing someone and turning them into a quadriplegic through sheer negligence, she was fined, fired from her job, barred from the Wonderbolts, and forbidden to work with clouds anymore. And there was one Dashfag in the comment section who thought this slap on the wrist punishment was TOO HARSH for what she did. Seeing that comment is what really made me disregard anything Dashfags have to say about episodes like Mare do Well or 28 Pranks Later. These mfs consider any degree of punishment for her actions too harsh.

>>42521522
>Seeing that comment is what really made me disregard anything Dashfags have to say about episodes like Mare do Well or 28 Pranks Later. These mfs consider any degree of punishment for her actions too harsh.
Reminds me of Trixiefags, though Trixie is actually a compelling and complex character that we didn't get to see enough of, while Rainbow Dash is just utterly self-assured.

>>42521514
Yep, that's exactly why the resolution would be AJ apologizing, lol. God forbid she actually have a point about the way the others treat her for once.
Pinkie Apple Pie is kind of a fucked up episode too, since the entire thing was basically just 'you're family isn't as awesome as you think it is' which feels kinda mean spirited when it's the primary thing she cares about is her family and she doesn't even have parents. They really couldn't throw out a single AJ episode that wasn't just kicking her while she was down about how much she sucks and needs other ponies to handle her problems for her.

>>42521500
Here it is if you want to go through the comments and see the people who think AJ is being too self-centered.

But Sweet and Elite had the nuanced approach to show elites can be good in the case of Fancy Pants. Generous Rarity herself is high fashion. The show could never portray Canterlot and high society as completely rotten because Celestia and her court are the highest of it, and she's the most benevolent ruler ever.

super speedy cider squeezy 6000

>>42522963
It was not a win. They were not better off than at the start of the show. They just had a lot of their harvest wasted to narrowly maintain the status quo.

>>42522980
what are your criteria for a real win then?

>>42522995
Are you stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

>>42522963
She's had wins when she's in the right, but I think he was talking more about the achieving great things part. They couldn't let the strong earth pony out compete Rainbow Dash, let the rodeo pony win a blue ribbon, let the entrepreneur succeed at the gala or expand business with Filthy Rich, or ultimately let the family pony start a family. Nu-writers even turned her into a tard that can't run her own farm better than fucking Twilight.

>>42523028
>She's had wins when she's in the right
Honestly though, how often is she even in the right? Most disagreements have her as either equally wrong or the only one in the wrong. Most Appul episodes really are about how much she sucks compared to everyone else. She's pretty much the only one who gets shit on by her own episodes. Even RD has more episodes celebrating how amazing she is.

>>42523036
kek, I was going to stick a (rarely) at the end of that. The show bends over backwards to make her in the wrong, often by being dragged down by other characters. Look before you sleep and fall weather friends being two prime early examples.

>>42523050
>Look before you sleep and fall weather friends being two prime early examples.
Yea. It's fucked up how those two episode both boil down to "X acts like a shitty friend and it's Applejack's fault". The best(worst) part about it is that AJ is both the first and only one to apologize for her actions in both instances, and the other character starting the whole conflict and treating her like shit just sort of smiles and nods.
Frankly, with the way the characters were written most of the time, it really gives the impression most of them don't like Applejack. Every time she needs their help for something, they always put in way less effort for her than they will each other. Like when Rarity asks for Fluttershy's help in removing a family of raccoons from her shop, Flutter does her best to try and remove them multiple times before trying to find a compromise to help Rarity and let them stay. But when Applejack asks for her help removing a bunch of bats, she immediately doesn't want to do anything and her counter offer is to just let the bats stay. Her justification to them being beneficial doesn't even make sense when broken down, and even that justification was only secondary to her first concern, which was "oh but the poor wittle bats need to feed their family's!". Between that, the chapter book, or when Applejack is nervous in Made in Manehattan, and compare it to the way the mane 6 help each other in episodes like Testing or Rarity Takes Manehattan. It's a weird disconnect where it seems like they really aren't as interested in helping her as they are each other. I imagine this is just because the writers verifiably hated her for being southern, and so instead just enjoyed making her the butt of everyone's jokes, but it's really sad for her. She really has the worst life of all the mane 6. Friendship is magic for everyone but Applejack.

>>42523028
Even when she is in the right, she does not "win", things merely get left as it is. Things do not change or develop for her. She gets no tangible benefits, despite being the pony who puts in the most effort. All the rest of the M6 get to enjoy special powers and going places, while Appul is barely treading water to stay at her current station. It is way too realistic, too related to everyday issues, especially in contrast with the other characters.

All she do is win

>>42523237
Sorce?

>>42519893
>>42521404
i wish the show was allowed to get just a little bit heavier so we could have gotten episodes like these.

>>42517375 (OP)
She's a horse. How can a horse be asian?

She's a WASP-Japanese hafu.

>>42523583
which of her parents is japanese???

>>42523580
>She's a horse. How can a horse be asian?
i'm gonna hold your balls when i say this

>>42524137
hondo. it's literally a japanese name

>>42524209
I thought his name was Magnum. That's not japanese.

Would have been really funny if they showed Rarity's grandparents and they were absolute slack jaw yokels and absolute lowlifes, the worst of trailer trash and the story of her parents was trying to escape their shithole trailer trash lives and trying to get a respectable blue collar life for themselves,

>>42517375 (OP)
No.

>>42523536
It probably would have been handled terribly even if it was. Like other anons have pointed out, I frankly wouldn't trust the writers to write any AJ episode. They'll probably just make her in the wrong, again.

>>42524597
You know, I'm just realizing that we didn't see the grandparents of ANY of the mane 6 except for Applejack. I know they wouldn't exactly be important characters, but it feels really weird that literally none of them have their grandparents show up except for her.

>>42526445
Tragic, since Pinkie even mentions Granny Pie in her song.

>>42526445
Huge missed opportunity indeed. Makes me wonder why they would not go for so obviously available characters and plots.

>>42526445
Or even extended family, except the appuls of course.

>>42526445
>>42526960
forget grandparents and extended family, only two of the mane 6 had episodes primarily dedicated to their parents.

>episode about Rarity's uncle coming to town to visit her
>he is revealed to be Big Gus, a big, loud, burly construction worker
>wants to hang out with his niece
>he likes hoofball, cider, NASCAR, machinery, construction sites, being with the lads and all sorts of stallion-y behavior
>drags her into each and every one of these
>ends with Rarity getting fed up with the suffering and tells that she doesn't enjoy these activities and that she isn't a little girl anymore but a grown mare
>he turns out to be not offended at all and just says "WHY DIDNT YOU SAID SO?"
>gets revealed that he was the one who built the Carousel Boutique for her as a gift
>she makes a hat for him in the colors of his favorite hoofball team
>generic "family is more important than the things you do together" aesop

For extra hilarity, make it a complete role reversal, with Rarity acting like Sweetie Belle all episode, or show her outright so in flashbacks.

>>42527121
>forever filly but it's actually green isn't your color

>>42526445
>>42526486
>>42526495
>>42526960
Applejack is also the only one with a full episode flashback to her childhood as a teenager. Actually, I think her childhood might be the one we've seen the most of in flashbacks.
We know way more about AJ's past than anyone else's. With how much we know about her compared to anyone else, it's honestly a bit strange she isn't basically the main character. Normally, that's how it would be in most shows.

>>42528408
more flashback episodes could have been neat. i wish that they did more stuff like that to break up the monotony instead of having all the map episodes.

>>42528428
Yea. This is why I don't buy into the argument that the mane 6 were 'played out' and we needed Glimmer and school shit. There was plenty that could be done with them still, the nu-writers just had zero creativity.

>>42517539
she's plumpening Opal up and then she'll cook and eat her

>>42517642
wrong. she's actually light gray. Like a cloud

>>42520212
>neet

>>42528443
while i definitely don't think it would have been strictly necessary, i would have appreciated if glimmer had more oppurtunity to interact with the mane 6. they quarantine her off in her own little group real quick. but then again, we didn't even get an episode for everying pairing of the mane 6, so it might be less of a glimmer issue, and more of a missed opportunity issue in general. and of couse, if the episodes aren't good it's a moot point.

>>42528443
They could have had episodes about the mane sixes family, or history or flashbacks, they could have had episodes about magical adventures with arc villains, they could have had slice of life episodes like Rarity losing her favorite manebrush, which would have been a BITCHINGLY female problem, even according to the vagina owner I married, they could have given episodes to background characters, maybe even slowly build a few up into repeating characters and a B-team. There are tons of characters that could have gotten an episode or two, even the princesses. I refuse to believe they couldn't see how obvious it was to make a "Celestia has a busy day" episode.

The truth is, the likes of haber and the other nepobabies just looked down on MLP, looked down on the world and looked down on its fans. They had this weird, chiding contempt for "taking it seriously" as they all saw themselves as epic legendary writers destined for greatness, not for "just a kids show" and this will be just a stepping stone as bigger and better things are coming for them. Seeing haber beg for jobs on twitter and others leaving the industry entirely warms my heart. In the end, they got what they deserve,

>>42522980
The real win would have been if the Apples had just taken the deal, haggled theirselves a better cut, and then gotten Granny that hip surgery she needed back in the Ticket Master, and earn enough that the kids wouldn't have to work their asses off and probably end up destroying their own hips.

>>42530103
Irrelevant from the point that they simply don't win. Appul never wins, she never goes on a personal magical adventure, her station never noticeably improves, she does not achieve her dreams. She is forever stuck on being support, the voice of reason, the honest, reliable one always enabling others and never getting anything for herself. Even in S9, even in the future, she will forever get stuck at the same place where she started from in S1E1.

>>42530128
Uh.. she got a new hat in Made in Manehattan. That's a win right?

>>42530128
>She is forever stuck on being support, the voice of reason
Not even that, they took that role and gave it to Glimmer.

>>42530137
Funniest shit is, Glimmer actually had potential, they could have made her to be deviantart edgelord, slowly growing into a sane and rational big sister with management skills and a sense of reason to play off Twilight. You can see traces of this happening and those are her best moments.

>>42530128
It's crazy, because Applejack is actually a lot more proactive than anyone else. Every one always treats Rainbow Dash as the brave, adventurous one, but she never actually really does all that much outside of the group. Applejack has multiple episodes where she fights monsters completely on her own or goes into the Everfree alone. She's one of the only characters who's actually proactive most of the time in doing something, so it's mind boggling to me that some people think there isn't anything that could be done with her.

>>42531405
And she was also much more loyal than RD too.

>>42531900
Even that aside, I've just seen people who say RD is their favorite because she has the most 'awesome moments', and I just have no idea what that's referring to. Unless these people just REALLY like the sonic rainboom or something, she doesn't really do that much. I just find it insane the mental gymnastics people regularly to go through to say Applejack is a boring and inflexible character while the others are so amazing, even when they have to ignore 90% of the series in order to pretend AJ doesn't do anything. I'm really starting to believe that the reason people don't like her really is just because she's southern. I just haven't seen any coherent and consistent reason why she's so much worse as a character than the others that doesn't involve substantial double standards and blatantly ignoring the show.

>>42531926
I just don't like her

>>42531937
Do you like strawberries?

>>42531937
I like smug pone, but he is right, Appul was done wrong because the show creators, the rabid californians hated her for being too white
