I think most people that dislike Rarity are people who were emotionally, mentally, or physically harmed by "popular" people during their lives, aka females(or males) who were very attractive, outgoing, and appeared stuck up/looked like they thought they were better than others. So since they have bad association with those traits in people, they tend to dislike Rarity, a lil psychological transference. People who like Rarity are probably very accepting, nonjudgemental, or like to dress nice/fashionably, and behave more professionally(like business people, people in office, and other positions of importance, even if you weren't like that before this point in life. I know I wasn't). There are always exceptions, but this is what I feel the majority is in very simple basic terms. This is also probably why so many people like Rainbow Dash besides her obvious flaws. It is because she is so much more like the people who watch the show. People even like her flaws because they are so much like the majority(her lazyness, desire to win, tough girl attitude). More people could also dislike rarity because they have higher expectations of her since she appears to be closer to "perfection" in a sense, while rainbow dash is far from it, so anything she does that is nice is considered amazing. It is similar to having a sibling who is unattentive while you are always helpful and prompt. If they ask you both to do a chore, they may get more upset at you for not doing it because they are more expecting of you to do it since that is your norm, while they just pass it off if your sibling does not do it. So people may be more expecting of Rarity and so when she does anything that isn't wonderfully perfect behavior, she will get negative views. I also think Rarity doesn't act like the cliche popular girl like so many subconciously jump to the conclusion of. She acts more like someone who wants to be a princess so she tries her best to act like one. If she were as bad as people think and claim, she would act like Silver Spoon, Trixie, or Diamond Tiara. Those girls think they are better than everyone else and act accordingly. I hope no one feels offended. Just wanted to put out my thoughts on it all. ^^
