@Drenius I'm doing pretty good. Thanks

I'm still going with my "Memory erasure" theory for why the mane cast aren't remembered

@Crowlover Rainbow Dash is always showing off and doing awesome things, so of course the school children of Ponyville would have a persistent fan club for her. The club fell apart when Mare-Do-Well stole the spotlight, so I think my point still stands.

#103279 Mio Tue, 21st Feb '12 1:40:34 PM

It existed before she actually did anything though.

Maybe.

I don't see her stunts attracting a whole lot of attention though.

Oh? How does that theory go exactly?

That most ponies were willing to have their memories of he mane cast erased in order to let them have a normal life and let them earn what respect they get in their respective crafts.

Which may have lead to some thoughts of regret going through Rarity's mind in "Green Isn't Your Color."

My theory is that ponies can only achieve true celebrity status by dressing in style. Not just because of "Green Isn't Your Color", but also because, remember what happened in the episode just before the one where Rainbow Dash's fan club appeared?

I love Rainbow in the sweater vest. /)^3^(\ So awesome.

It's more than a vest, but less than a sweater.

So, with no new ponies this week, whatever shall we do to pass the time? It's simply awful!

I've no idea. I could have sworn... Nah, it couldn't have been.

Behold true horror

@ginger But what's keeping those that want to stay in the know from telling the others?

@drenius Come on! That isn't scary at all!

Eh, true.

simple.

Who'd believe them?

and because I honestly believe that the majority of ponies are kind and respectful of the earnest wishes of others. I believe most would agree, and those who didn't would play along

A little bit of both?

Nah, just a silly bit of art by an artist I like, Lars Brown. From what I can gather he was just amused by the idea of duct taping two corgis together.

Here's the link to the original: http://larsony.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d1wmiv8

If the majority of pony kind wants to respect their wishes, then why the mind wipe?

@Mio because it would still effect their daily lives. There'd still be untold adoration in the eyes of everyone they met. It would still effect how they were treated. Look at how the cakes treat the princess.

They may respect and agree with the wishes of the mane cast, but they wouldn't be able to help themselves. A change that big CAN'T go unnoticed.

I know they would never say that in the show, but it's my personal preffered theory

Celestia probably spun the story to draw attention to herself and especially her sister, so that the Mane Six don't get unwanted attention.

#103298 Mio Tue, 21st Feb '12 2:11:10 PM

So they would do it because they know that they couldn't help themselves otherwise.

Heh, you know what? I'm ok with this.

Personally I think that the offical stories are intinally vague about the exact identities of the bearers of the elements and intentionally makes them out to be semi-mythic.

That way no one would believe it was really just six mares from Ponyville.

I still like my psychology theory. Mind Wipes just have too many Unfortunate Implications for my tastes.

@Lurker Unfortunately, the idea of Pony Culture you paint does that for me. I could believe that ponies are more succeptible to hype than humans, but I would still think that past ponies would have loyal fans...

Doing Mind Wipes because you care about someone doesn't seem that bad, IMO.
