I wanna say this is luna but there's no wings. |

I'd say Blueblood, but it looks like a filly and Blueblood as a filly is too scary to think about. |

I'm thinking rule 63 blueblood |

Cute. Would also be nice if the sexists would take a 2nd thought about how acceptable the exact same traits are for fillies compared to colts (see: Every scene they hate him for). |

not sure I follow. At first rarity was willing to try to meet him halfway, realizing that he DOESN'T need to be the stereotypically chivalrous man. The problem arose when he didn't give anything back or show appreciation for it, something that rarity would have done. You forget the fact that he chose to use rarity as a meat shield rather than just dodge the thing. |
| Skipta #158084 1 year ago |
I understand not liking him. The only reason I don't mind much is probably because I get such an Ouran ( <3 ) vibe from him. But I just CANNOT see anyone disliking him this much if he was actually a Princess instead of a Prince. She'd just be "Tsundere".
People loathe Blueblood as the #1 pony they hate, and I just don't see how it's called for. I mean fuck, Gilda made Fluttershy cry and she has apologists out the ass. Blueblood just got cake on Rarity's dress that wasn't even instigated by him. |

I see what you mean now. I thought you were another person saying that the show was sexist against men because of how he was "bad" for not kissing rarity's ass. |
| AdrianBrony #158098 1 year ago |
though I think it might also be due to the fact that he is also rich and in nobility. Gilda can be imagined by some as having a hard life and she is very mea in a defensive way. Blueblood hasn't had to do a hard thing in his life and may never have actually had to work because he was born into money...
I wonder if Gilda were from a rich background if she would get the same treatment as blueblood. |
| Sunset_Sky #158101 1 year ago |
People loathe him because he constantly treated Raity like she was beneath him. At first, he appeared like he was just another stuck up royal. THen there was the cloak thing, making Rarity mess her cloak so he didn't get dirty. He insulted Applejack's food for being 'common carnival fare' and then he used Rarity as a shield, not only showing a complete lack of respect but also a lack of reguard for her safety. I've seen cakes like that mad.e THey often have solid suports inside them. It's not that it was just a cake. It was that he chose to deliberately put her in harm's way to save himself. |

@Adrian: Eh, she was buddies with Rainbow Dash, how tough could it a' been. :3 But yeah, she probably would get a much worse wrap if she was the same but from a wealthy Griffin family or somen'. Then again, Celestia (if you're not going by the tyrannical "Keep her from becoming too powerful" interpretation) sends her own protege to Ponyville to get her involved with new ponies. It seems incredibly harsh if she does that for some kid that was born with talent, but not for a relative (however remote) that was born with money and just that happen. Or maybe anything mortal that doesn't directly concern her stately affairs is meaningless dust in the wind for her. That's not very pleasant either, though. Yay, Doctor Whoof! An immortal that cares! :P
@Sunset_Sky: ..She is beneath him. In aristocratic societies class is a very real thing with harsh consequences from your peers. Rarity speaks specifically about impressing him enough that he would marry her, thus elevating her as a legitimate member of those circles. Most of those things she expected him to do for her, but no one hates on Rarity for that (as they shouldn't). Lack of regard for her safety? It was cake and in a Cartoon where they can flap their wings at supersonic speeds, get anvils on the head etc without ill effects. <_< |

I find teh social structure strange actually. in one way there is an aristocracy, but in another way you see lots of actions taken that in an aristocratic society, would have a backlash. Perhaps the Aristocracy is the artifact of a time that has since passed and the caste system that used to make them a closed group has since collapsed. Plus, if I recall, Celestia sent twilight to ponyville to help her. |
| Skipta #158236 1 year ago |
^ That's what I'm saying, Adrian. She sent Twilight to Ponyville to help her, yet she doesn't give a flying fuck* how her own relatives are raised, apparently. :(

He also seems a bit older than twilight. Perhaps since Celestia does not employ, teach, or otherwise directly influence him, she can't take any mandatory action to remedy this without banishment. |
| Skipta #158272 1 year ago |
She's the God-Empress. 'Course she could go "Y'know, he really should be allowed some normal friends, not just sit around the palace sniffing eachother's aristocratic butts all day"! If nothing else than the definitive Mater Familias. :) |

She probably did tell him to do it but he just ignored her. |
| Skipta #158363 1 year ago |
Speaking indirectly was on purpose. I mean to his parents. Twi didn't want to go to Ponyville either and she's mature by that point. But this is really tangential. Just that it's a bit harsh to judge him alone for becoming what his surroundings molded him to be. :)
Besides, he just lacks any exposure, probably. As I mentioned Ouran previously: It might taste like common carnival fare, but who knows if you'll grow to liking it (commoner's coffee?! Oh my poor darling.. D: )! I'm (sort of) on his side on that one, though. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed those treats either (I also don't like the taste of pies. Don't hate me!). :) And just to note: Rarity probably seemed very rude from his perspective and breaking with royal protocol (what-with all the crazy and down-right offensive rules we still have nowadays in Monarchical countries. Long live ze Republic!). |

Wellll, Princess Blueblood *looks* pretty. I'd have to see her in action to know if she was a spoiled filly or not. |
| suomynonA #159356 1 year ago |
Skipta, two things:
1. Anything intimidating can probably make Fluttershy cry or frighten her. Hell, even her shadow may freak her out. 2. Blueblood used Rarity as a freakin' shield. Let's probe further; given the situation, this would not mean much, however if the cake were replaced with something a bit more dangerous, say a rock or let's go even further and say a bullet, if it were that, Blueblood would use the closest thing to him as a shield, like Rarity with the cake. Gilda is loved more because she really didn't do much other than petty shit and act like a cunt. Blueblood however made the mistake of using a mare to shield himself from cake. He is a coward and pretty much a narcissist, almost like Trixie. |
| Skipta #160077 1 year ago |
...Yes, you are clearly not exaggerating ridiculously when you're bringing gunfights and murder into My Little Pony. You seriously think that if I hid behind you to block someone throwing cake at me that I wouldn't be adverse to using you as a bullet-shield? Yeah, that's perfectly reasonable conclusion to draw from that..
I like Trixie and she's definitely the most tragic pony from purely in-show material (haven't read fanfiction or anything, but she is the only one that has to deal with being bad at her one special talent. That'd be hard on anyone.). Also, what's wrong with being a coward? Seriously, what is so HATE worthy about not being brave? He doesn't need to be brave, he's not a friggin' soldier. It just seems like grasping at straws to justify a loathing you would not have for a similar female character (unless you detest Tsundere characters too, but a lot of people genuinely like those). You even say that being "a petty cunt" is superior to being "self-centered" and that just strikes me as weird. I'm not actually arguing which of the two are better/worse, though, I was just saying that it's so accepted for Gilda to have loads of apologists and "redeeming" fanfiction with no basis in Canon that it does start to feel sexist how unanimous the fandom has been on Blueblood. |

Gilda and Blueblood are both the same for me in terms of dislikes(I could bring up other characters for different but, that would be going off track). |
