Rt: Oh, Rainbow Dash, darling, What do you think of Applejack? Isn’t she like Cinderella? I already know you’re surprised to see our farmgirl changed into this!
(She doesn’t care what Rt’s saying)
BIG SCREAM
Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?!
Ouch, my hoof!
Rarity, back off!
Rt: How dare you…
AJ: Well, it’s good to be back again!
Well, I do live in South Korea right now. Guess I could find one of my KATUSA neighbors in the barracks and ask.
well i did say it was my problem, if your referring to my talk with bico-kun andgorkspewdium.
if that what happening in this drawing, then yes ok, but we don’t know what there saying, well i don’t know what there saying anyway.
Weird thing is, this discussion just gave me a forced-dressup flashback: one night back at the tender age of 14-ish, my middle sister had a friend over, and they spent all freakin’ night pestering me around the house ‘till my if-it’ll-shut-you-loons-up level was reached. Burnt me out so thoroughly I didn’t even bother un-polishing my toenails ‘till the weekend. Let’s just say I don’t glam up quite so well as Jack or Dashie.

Like gork said, Rarity gets a little nonconsenty about dressup. Rainbow knows too well the horrors of being Rarity’s ponequin and obviously knows AJ shares her feelings about dressing fancy. It doesn’t matter what AJ looks like, but what she wants.
I’d forgotten how forceful Squiggly gets about ponequins with a pulse. Come to think of it, didn’t she hip-check Twilight into a wall under similar pretenses? Might be time for a Fashion PD intervention.
Rarity not turning applejack into anything, she just dress her up, that not going to change her personality, so it shouldn’t matter rainbow dash.
That didn’t really explain the problem you have, though. Rainbow Dash reacted negatively to seeing Rarity try to turn AJ into somepony she wasn’t and didn’t want to be. Why is that an issue?
Why did Rainbow react like that? Is she trying to spite Rarity? Or is Rarity just angry about Applejack choosing Rainbow instead of her?
like i said, it just a personal thing for me, yes i can see that applejack is happy from this, but that not stop me from seeing a message i don’t like here. but like i keep saying a translation of this might change me mind, from what i’m seeing i’m thinking there saying this.
Rarity: “What do you think of your girlfriend now Rainbow Dash?”
Rainbow Dash:“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Applejack: “Thank you sugarcube”
if this is what there saying, then rainbow reaction is my problem, not the outcome.
Well, given AJ’s apparent joy in the last panel, she probably was not trying on the fancy dress because she wanted to. Given that we’ve seen Rarity rope Rainbow into trying on fancy dresses against her will and that she hates it, I can only presume from the images that Rainbow understands AJ’s plight and just rescued her from nonconsensual fancification.
Ah, so while it isn’t your day-to-day preference it’s still reassuring to know the option’s open. Understandable.
@bico-kun
So long as Squiggley had time to take notes before the Dashpounce, sure.
but that one of things about this, she just dress fancy, not acting fancy, and applejack can still be her true self even if she look fancy, look i’m a bit if a tomboy myself, i don’t like all that girly stuff either, but every once in awhile i do want to try it, just to see if i can be pretty pretty, because i don’t think i look good, a lot people think that way. and that why the stereotype really bug me. but that were the translating can change my view on this, it can tell a different story then what i’m seeing from this. now i’m not dissing this artist, he or she is allow to draw anything they want to draw, it just this drawing is really pissing me off, do to personal reason, that all, this drawing is funny to the artist and funny for a lot of Appledasher fans.
Regardless, AJ seems to have enjoyed it, and isn’t that what really matters?
Fair counterpoint, though Dashie could probably surmise that AJ’s just humoring Rarity for a minute. Then again, strips like this lose their kick if the instigator stops to think.
Well, knowing that AJ does not, in fact, like to be fancy even if she’s good at pretending to be, I read it as more along the lines of Rainbow Dash loving AJ for her true self and not wanting her to conceal that. After all, nobody falls for people because of some nebulous Aristotilian ideal of that person, but because of the expressed traits that make up a person’s personality.
Again, decent point. I could roll with it if Dashie’s just being a rough-and-tumble troll, but her horrified gape is a bit much.
yeah that part of what i mean, i hate stereotypes like that, the other part is, Rainbow Dash is pretty much saying this in my eyes, “Applejack i’m only going to like you if you look like this way, if you change your look, i’m not going to like you, it just a look, no matter how much she change her looks, she’ll always be applejack,
Is it something along the lines of “PRISSY GLAM SUCKS, KEEP IT TOMBOY”? ’Cause if so, I see what you mean-ponies should be subverting lazy stereotypes, not playing right into ’em. Then again, we may be missing context thanks to the language barrier.
And what message is that?
no i don’t hate the ship, it an ok couple, i just don’t like the message i’m getting from this comic, maybe if someone translate it, i mind might see it in a different light, but as it is now, it actually make me mad looking at this.
