Started on MLPForums, this refers to posting in a topic before ghostfacekiller39 that speaks badly of the character Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. ghostfacekiller39 is perhaps the most dedicated Rarity fan on the forums, and he's always quick to defend her when the need arises.
RarityHater69: "Rarity is the worst pony ever, she's such a bitch I hate her!"

ghostfacekiller39: "(Long profound rant about why OP is wrong, with lots of Rarity smiley faces mixed in)"
