I meant "Rated Y, like the show". Rating-system.Rarity still thinks she's being a positive role-model, and sometimes Sweetie still says that she wants to be like her sister, but Rarity actually still thinks Sweetie looks up to her, so she's gotta keep up a positive appearance and not have Sweetie Belle trying to get boys to do favours for her, when she's more than capable of doing them herself. Like, say, if she got a couple colts to do her homework for her and Rarity found out and addressed such actions…For what it's worth, Fluttershy tried doing what Rarity does in that Iron Will episode (Putting your Hoof Down? I forget…), but failed due to her being socially awkward. Then again, she DID pay the stallion back for their asparagus… But let's be honest: The entire show can be given criticism on stallions being easily manipulative or lacking in "charm" for NOT falling for it. If the stallion isn't more than a minor role-character, the writers use them as jokes for the mares to play off of.… but I get what you actually mean: It's how her actions are framed as being generally "appealing", and not the act of using them that's questionable. The thing is, they're framed that way because it's HER that's using them. That said, I suppose her "negative ladylike traits" balance out these actions…"Wo~o~oe I~I~Is Me~e~e"… ends up also making her look pathetic at times.
