Why did none of the ponies buy apples from Applejack at the Grand Galloping Gala do they not care about poor and suffering ponies?
>>43004992You don't just open a stall for the rich people you have to do some marketing and presentation. She just has never sold any shit for the rich.
>>43005053are you saying that ponyville is full of poor people?!
>>43005059They are probably mid-class. Also to add to my rant about rich pones, they probably don't even buy stuff themselves they hire ponies to do that and they just went to the Gala for entertainment. >Yeah, I totally would buy appuls instead of dinning at the table eating food made by professional chefs. kekNo, seriously, what was she even thinking?
>>43004992Everypony in canterlot is a psycho freak who doesnt recognize food unless someone else cooks and prepares it for them and they cant tell it has fruits or vegetables in it. They dont recognize apples as food, and her apple fritters make the apple nature too obvious so it turns them away. everything canterlot ponies eat looks like weird mush or is in a funny shape that makes it impossible to tell it was ever food in the first place. Canterlot ponies dont like knowing that they couldnt exist without earth ponies, so they put every item of food through 3-5 ponies worth of processing obfuscation, where each pony in the chain specializes in some manner of making the food unrecognizable and borderline inedible. The canterlot elite feel an instinctive fear and revulsion to the blunt honesty of apple pies or apple fritters. They dont want to know what they're eating. Theyd eat dirt if you squashed it into fun and interesting shapes and told them it was made out of a secret slurry. Canterlot ponies are sick
>>43004992Idk about apples, but I'd buy a barrel of cider from her!
>>43005099>No, seriously, what was she even thinking?I don't know. AJ is often said to be the stoic, pragmatic one. Surely she would realize that it makes no sense to buy food when free food is being offered at a party. I mean thats just common sense. If a food truck shows up outside a banquet catering event, paid for by your job with no expenses of your own, what would you do? Eat the free food.
>>43005516I mean, how is she supposed to know what the catering situation is like? She's never been there before. Besides, ponies did come to her cart.
>>43004992The Gala offers free food. Free food that rich ponies like. Applejack is a dummy.
This episode made AJ look so Jewwy.
>>43005650Its a party, do you go to a party expecting to pay for foreign food that is not in line with the themes and atmosphere of the host? If I go to a party expecting fancy cuisine and theres a jeet outside selling me rat intestines and curry, what the fuck is any semi-rational, above chimpanzee level intelligence person going to think?
>>43005888but she isn't a griffon
>>43005890It's apple pastries nigga. The fancy shit being served inside is probably closer to the rat intestine curry than what she's selling.
>>43004992>going to a posh place>hmm yes ill go for the peasant food outsidelol, lmao even.
Y'all like to act like it's some super obvious thing when there's no way any of you would know that apples are considered peasant food without hindsight or metaknowledge. This is "Why didn't the movie character act on information only presented to me the audience?" tier of analysis ITT.
>>43005936She's a redneck who is familiar with high society looking down on her and liking fancy stuff. You are an idiot, just like Applejack.
>>43005944And no one else has ever called apples peasant food except for Blueblood, who may or may not be mentally challenged. The Wonderbolts were perfectly willing to buy from her.
>>43005210People probably think this is a joke, but I unironically believe this.
>>43004992Anon the wealthy are wicked. Think about it for a second, you literally cannot be rich and unselfish at the same time. Of course they don't care about the poor. Also, AJ isn't even that poor.
>>43005954Flag checks out.
>>43005954>AJ isn't even that poor.If we assume Equestria is a feudal society, then AJ at this point may actually be the highest in social rank after Twilight, seeing as her family are confirmed land owners.
>>43005958impoverished land owners considering they rely on the zap apples and the cider to pay most of their taxes, debt and whatnot which is close enough to peasant tier.
>>43005958>if we assume it's this thing we know it isn'tYou're stupid. Anyway all I was saying is that she just never seems to be struggling very much.
>>43005958Was land even worth that much in the past? I know it's highly valuable nowadays, but back in like 500 or 1000 or 1500, was being a farmer anything more than just a peasant lowlife compared to the upper castes like the nobility, the clergy and the chivalry?
>>43005950>And no one else has ever called apples peasant food except for Blueblood, who may or may not be mentally challenged. The Wonderbolts were perfectly willing to buy from her.The wonderbolts only bought it because they're military and not nobility unlike Prince Blueblood who is on top of the Noble chain by being related to the princesses and decides what is noble and peasant food which is followed by the nobles below him in the chain.
>>43005950Are apples peasant food? No. Was the way she was cooking them carnival trash? Well yeah. That doesn't make it bad, but you gotta not be an autistic bonobo for one microsecond of your life and understand theres certain etiquiette and customs. You can spend your entire life hating them, but they exist. You don't sell cars at a computer store, and you don't sell fast-food at a high society box social. Does this make sense?
>>43005983>>43005981And pies and pastries have been eaten by the upper class for centuries, so there's no reason to assume that would be considered peasant food. Again->"This is 'Why didn't the movie character act on information only presented to me the audience?' tier of analysis"
>>43005990>Applying real world customs to EquestriaTake your own advice, kek. They are trash food in Equestria.
>>43005992So yes, you wouldn't have known it without hindsight and metaknowledge, just as I said.Congratulations, you're a midwit.
>>43005981>which is followed by the nobles below him in the chain.Fancy Pants didn't seem to think so. And other nobles were more than happy to follow HIS example.
>>43005099>No, seriously, what was she even thinking?>>43005516The point of the episode (and really also the ticketmaster) was that the ponies, mostly AJ, Rainbow, Rarity, and Pinkie, allowed their fantasies to run wild and get the better of themselves. If it were any other event, then AJ would have gone about it more realistically, but because it's *!*!*the Gala*!*!* she imagines that money will start falling out of the sky. Hell, think about how Rarity thought she would literally fall in love with and marry a prince, and Rainbow would star in a stunt show with the Wonderbolts who weren't even going to perform.
>>43006001The show establishes it well before episode 26, wise guy. Cupcakes, pies, and the like are common foods served all throughout Equestria. They use pies as cannon fodder in Appleloosa because of how much of a trash food they are. You are an idiot.
>>43005971>Was land even worth that much in the past?It was given to them by the princess, so it had to be worth something.>being a farmer anything more than just a peasant lowlife compared to the upper castes like the nobility, the clergy and the chivalry?That's because most farmers didn't own the land, those aformentioned nobility did, that's what made them nobility. They simply worked the land. But the Apple family actually does own it, they don't work it and pay rent to the lord who owns it, they pay taxes to the princess. They'd be working nobility, but nobility.
Why are AJ threads always the petty argument threads?
>>43006014>"And I suddenly have a fierce craving for some Dutch apple pie, candied apples on a stick, apple turnovers, apple cobbler..."Spoken from an uppity upper class pony from Canterlot.
>>43006024Because most criticisms of AJ end up being pretty petty.
>>43006028Provide the context, Appletard.
>>43006036DYEWTS, retard?
>>43006036Context doesn't change the uppity upper class pony saying he wants to eat some apple pastries, midwit.
>>43006040Am I expected to remember every single throw away line in the show? Provide it, your stubborn attitude tells me there's a reason why you're hesitant to.
>>43006042It also doesn't change that it is seen as carnival food both before and after the Gala, midwit.
>>43006046>>43006014Because it's not like the princess of the kingdom is notorious for loving sweets either, right?>Why didn't the movie character act on metaknowledge?
>>43006060Her eating cake was seen as a scandal, midwit. "dyewts"?
>>43006044>Am I expected to remember every single throw away line in the show?From Season 1? Yes.
>>43006063Cake is what AJ made specifically to appeal to the Canterlot ponies when the pastries fell through.>"N-No! Cake isn't upper class enough either!"If food enjoyed by both the princess and other upper class ponies can't be reasonably assumed to not be 'peasant food', then again, I refer you to->Why didn't the movie character act on metaknowledge?
>>43006044It's Hoity Toity in Suited for Success, you offboard scum.
>>43006101>everyone I dont like is a offboarder
>>43006143>Everybody who doesn't watch the show is an offboarderFor all intents and purposes, Yes.
