What if everyone changed hairstyles for an episode? AJ lets her hair down, Twilight wears a ponytail*

(ha!)

, Fluttershy cuts her hair short, etc.

A hairstyle episode would be fun to watch.

Ignore this...

Yeah, cause that's totally what we're talking about now.

Shut up. I have had to endure hundreds of pages of Badwolf and Mousa smugly declaring Rarity a "monster" and "Karma Houdini" and never backing up their claims, and frankly, I am sick of it. Its almost as bad as the Dash hate.

Oh, chill. I find it annoying too, but I can tolerate it because Mousa is more like Rarity than he'd care to admit, thus it is also his self-loathing talking

...Woah. Nothing good ever comes from flipping out.

As for the problem, well, some people are just going to hate a character, and there's nothing you can do about it. Either logically refute their points or simply ignore them. Anger is pretty much the worst way to handle it.

Look, I'm just not catching up from page 3970 or so, and half of the pages are Badwolf smugly declaring Rarity as a horrible pony as if his word is fact. I'm a little annoyed right now, ok?!

This is the internet. Everyone declares their opinions as if they were fact. Irrational anger over opinions is just as bad as irrational hatred of a character.

Edit: And honestly, the fact that Rarity actually can be amoral at times but still care enough for her friends to make amends is why she's my favorite. Having flaws tends to be a good thing for a character.

Twilght and Fluttershy both get taken while I'm asleep? Awww.

Then JT gets Lyra. And it looks like Carrot Tops taken too. And so are the princesses.

Man, who does that leave me with?

I can't think of anypony else who I'd obviously enjoy being married to.

Should I resort to my OC Stand In? Her canon personality is probably completely different!

I...I just...I'm just sick of it, ok? I'm sick of things and characters being hated for the most ridiculous of reasons. I'm sick of people taking the shows concepts and twisting them into something its not just to make characters look bad. I...I'm sorry ok?

Just ignore it and listen to "Becoming Popular" a few dozen times.

If we can put up with gingerninja's anti-Pinkie rants, you can ignore the poor deluded souls who don't appreciate Rarity's charms.

I couldn't marry a pony. I'd be to busy having an existential crisis due their very existence.

...and I thought Ginger had bad flip-outs.

Yeah, pretty much everyone has said what needs to be said already.

Now, about those alternate hairstyles...

I don't know if I could marry one, either, since I'm fairly wary of romance. I'd substitute in being BFFs with them.

In other news, I drew Dusky in earmuffs.

EDIT: Ginger's a little more mellow these days, but I don't think those really hold a candle to some of his worst. >.>

Kuroi, that is painfully adorable.

This. Rarity knows that she can sometimes be in the wrong and fully admits it. She's my favorite, but there is no way that she is in the right and nice to everyone all the time. You brought up Sweet and Elite. She didn't exactly betray her friends, but she certainly wasn't very kind to them. Also, I'm pretty sure Mousa and bad were playing their hatred for comedy. But dropping this because I'm probably ninja'd.

Anyway, I can't say that I would have a strong opinion to an "alternate hairstyle" thing. Twilight looked really weird with Rarity's mane and I can't imagine the others would look good in other styles.

Look, I'm sorry, ok? This will teach me not to post rants at 2 AM...

It's cool, you calmed down quickly enough.

We get a lot of heated opinions around here, oddly enough.

I wonder when the Beach Episode happens. Mostly because it'd be absolutely hilarious to see ponies have a day at the beach. And then the fandom reaction. Oh goodness, the fandom reactions. ♥

Also sea ponies!

Ok based on past posting rates, I estimate that 100k will be reached sometime between 10:30 and 11:45 tomorrow, with the mean estimate at 11:13. That doesn't seem right. Oh well.

I reckon a few hundred more posts could be done just before the episode airs

Hey, do you guys still post that vid of Rainity on every pagetopper? That was pretty funny.

Though not quite as funny as how I resolved to read the whole thread when it was only 30K posts long, and it looks like it'll be well over 100K the next time I see it!

Good night everybody (1 post closer to 100, 000).

See yez later bluespade. Hopefully you'll be up to joining us when we livestream the episode about 5 hours from now.

T-minus 350 to 100k.
