Generosity?? MY FLANK!!

Hello, everypony! It's time for a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic rant...
This time I'm talking about Rarity...
And yes, this time IS the pony who I am going to rant about.
Last Week's episode: Rarity takes Manehattan was shoving Rarity's Generosity down our Throats. They even had a song about Rarity's Generosity.
No really. They HAD A SONG ABOUT RARITY'S GENEROSITY...







Is she Generous? Or is she Greedy?

Let's see:

She gave her tail to the Sea Serpent... That's Pretty Generous.

So, Remember the whole

Mess?

AJ wanted to put up a kiosk to help the Apple Family. Pinkie wanted to Party. Fluttershy wanted to see the animals. Rainbow Dash wanted to show off to the Wonderbolts. What did Miss "Generosity" wanted to do? Seduce a prince and Marry into Royalty... Remind me how is that being "Generous" again?

So, Remember Dragonshy? Rarity's attempt to help the Dragon was all a ruse to try and steal his gems?

Look before you sleep, trying her best at not sharing the bed with Applejack... Not sharing is now Generosity.


Making "Free Dresses" for her friends for the Grand Galloping Gala sounds generous...
Making 5 One of a kind Carousel Boutique Promotional Material for her friends to wear at the Grand Galloping Gala  as payment for her ticket and a chance for Rarity to climb the social ladder. Suddenly that last one doesn't sound so generous, right?


She was supposed to be Moral Support for Rainbow Dash in the Young Flyer competition... Hogging up the Spotlight is now Generosity!

Sure, she babysits her sister every now and then... That's not Generosity, that's being part of a family.
(We'll see more of Rarity's babysitting being a Leave me alone while I work and don't get in trouble kind of thing.)

The Entire Diamond Dog Episode... One of the multiple instances where Rarity takes advantage of Spike's Generosity (and his one sided crush)... Generosity indeed!

Forcing Fluttershy into Modelling was a way for Rarity to promote her brand, but it backfired on her when Photo finish was interested in Fluttershy and not Rarity's clothing.

Trying to get a better room than her friends to sleep alone in Over a barrel.

Sister Hooves Social... Rarity pushes Sweetie Belle away and after she realizes her selfishness is when she decides to win back her sister.

Sweet and Elite... Twilight's Birthday Present took a backseat to Rarity's ME time...

Secret of My Excess...

It's not the first time Rarity has used her looks to get what she wants. (Best Night Ever, Putting your Hoof Down, Dog and Pony Show)

Baby Cakes:

♪GENEROSITY!!♫

MMMystery on the Friendship Express: She ate from the MMM... then again, almost everypony else did, but again!! GENEROSITY!! being Greedy...


The Greed Machine is on!!

Not going to mention how rarity made Sweetie Belle her personal slave that day when Chicken was having Nightmares about the Headless Horse...
♪GENEROSITY!!♫ Making your sister work like a Dragon.

So, the Episode had to lay it on thick with the Generosity angle, especially since we've seen Rarity being more Selfish than Generous. I'm sorry just because she's Generous once, doesn't make her the element of Generosity...Besides most of Rarity's "Generosity" comes from her hoping that someone will repay the favor. Which happened on the episode itself.  If you're "Generous" and expect a reward, you're NOT being Generous... Also doesn't she steal stuff from the Hotel room to make her second fashion line? Not to mention how she treated her friends INCLUDING FREAKING PRINCESS TWILIGHT!! Rarity comes off as Selfish more times than Generous. The few times she does something "Generous" is because she is getting something else out of it.
