The tomboy argument holds little water with me. Rarity is disliked largely because she strikes too close to home as the snooty-popular-girl archetype. Obviously she's anything but, but if someone's first impression is a negative one then they are unlikely to delve deeper into her character and see what a fantastic character she really is.
It's funny how Rarity's vanity is "omg so annoying", while RD's arrogance is "a character-building flaw! Double standards, anyone? I have a friend that considers Rarity to be a bitch, so he doesn't like her. He also thinks that Rarity is self conceited, which I find interesting considering she represents generosity.
He also really likes RD but I have no idea why. He just thinks she's cool I suppose. I guess people dislike Rarity because of how girly she is. And she whines a lot. I don't really see any flaw at all to her, the whining is special quirk and I like it. Rainbow Dash, they probably like how she's tomboyish, which most girls can relate to and not relate to Rarity. There's also that rumor of her being a lesbian, which quite a few people could relate to, even if the rumor is false.
And of course, she's rainbow colored, who doesn't like rainbows? Because, I realized that a few idiots who base their opinions on a characters design and nothing else are far too worthless to waste my time getting upset over, and that Rarity will always be my best pony. Really, though, I've noticed there's RD fans who take things too far like that, but that's only a small, select percentage of her fanbase.
There's actually more good ones, as it is with all pony fan bases. I personally like both of them equally Pinkie is best pony of course but I guess the rationale is that Rainbow Dash is more exciting than Rarity, that along with her tomboyish personality and rainbow colors make her a fan favorite.
She makes an impact whether she is the main character of an episode or a secondary pony in an episode. A lot of people can also relate to Rainbow's brand of arrogance including myself , the fun-loving competitiveness. Rarity really shines in episodes centered around her, in my opinion, but lacks the same shine in other episodes and can comes across as unbearably elitist rather than sympathetically elitist like in "Sweet and Elite" , which I guess turns some bronies off.
Why people probably dislike Rares: Has character traits that are typically disliked among female characters in general obsessed with fashion, glamor and whatnot , pretty selfish, whines a lot usually for comedic effect , manipulative, doesn't treat her sister well. There's probably more, but these are the one's that stand out the most, with the first one being the elephant in the room.
While it's very unfair, it makes sense that people dislike Rarity for the first reason seeing as before FiM, shows that revolve around those type of characters are generally due to the shallow way on how a girl thinks.
And obviously FiM avoids this by making Rarity such a much more rounded character and giving her a lot of life and charm, that characters before her were void of. She's easily one of the most flawed characters in the show, but imo that's what makes her one of the best since it allows her to grow and opens opportunities on what she's capable of. Why people probably like Rainbow Dash: Tomboy which probably makes more relatable than Rares , adventurous, headstrong, loyal, rainbows, extrovert she presents what she's like right from the get go while you have to dig deep to see Rarity's qualities.
It's no secret that she's also one of the most flawed characters along with Rarity, some of which really stand out like a sore thumb like being a show-off. But like Rarity who coincidentally share similar flaws , her flaws also make her one of the best characters since it also allows her to grow and mature which was something we undeniably saw in Season 3. Its simple. People like Rainbow Dash so much because most people can relate to her.
Most bronies are guys, and Rainbow Dash is a tomboy. People like characters they can relate to. Ask anybody why their favorite character is their favorite character, and most people will say its because they can relate to that character. Another example is Fluttershy. A lot of bronies can relate to her, since shes so shy, hence why she is so popular. Rarity is pretty much the opposite of a tomboy, and upon first impression she seems shallow to most people.
Some people think shes that popular shallow girl stereotype. So for Rarity, most people can't relate to her, and she seems shallow to some people, which in turn makes her very unpopular. Shes actually a very deep complex character, which is one thing I love about her, but most people don't look hard enough, and don't realize that.
Rarity gets on my nerves every now and again, but overall she's a decent character; I can honestly say I "like" her. But Rainbow Dash? She has a good quality. Or two, perhaps. But, the rest of her character is off-putting; she isn't necessarily a bad character, but her flaws stand out and get in the way far more often than any other pony's.
I am going to list this in my "things I will never understand about this fandom" list. And I guess for GIRL fans, it could be that Rainbow is that represents that "girl-power" attitude that a lot of people like. While Rarity might remind the girls and guys too of that conceited popular girl you knew at your school. I have very little personal interest in fashion. I don't care about looking fabulous. But I love Rarity as a hard-working, talented artist, with a lot of class, and understandable flaws.
She one of the most layered, complicated characters in the show. But sadly, but people that don't want to peel past those first couple layers are just going to make snap decisions about her. I admit that RD's arrogance grates on me in a way that Rarity's vanity doesn't but at least I recognize the parallel. Despite the fact that Rarity is my favorite character and Dash is near the bottom, I actually do see some striking similarities between them.
Go fig. See, that's something I don't really get. A lot of characters are "relateable". Dash isn't the only tomboy out there, and Fluttershy isn't the only "shy" character.
Relatability is overrated if the character isn't written in a compelling or interesting way not saying that's the case for RD or Fluttershy. The writing and acting behind the character are the most important things. That's why I like Rarity- because she blends these totally opposite elements of being vain and somewhat "upper crust" while genuinely being very nice and giving.

Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Rarity opens another boutique. Oh come on! Do we need to have another boutique from Rarity? And it's from Manehattan! Not only that, but it was dialogue drama here. We had dialogue all over the place.
That's really a shame. Seriously Hasbro, you really need to calm down the focus of Rarity here. It's getting out of hand with all of these boutiques, and I really think you should focus on another character next season.
Maybe Fluttershy, or even Spike should have that honor. We shouldn't have Rarity all around. But in the end, I'm comparing Rarity Good day. Article workshop Placeholder name polls Core wiki activity Project forums Wiki discussion Chat discussion Speculation.
