* DracoInLeatherPants: Rarity get's this treatment for being portrayed as willing to actually talk to Sweetie Belle and explain why Gabby Gums is wrong, even people who don't like the rest of the episode usually praise Rarity for acting so mature. They completely overlook the fact that Rarity previously spent the episode being a completely unsympathetic gossip who invaded her sisters privacy, told Twilight not to worry when she expressed concern over Gabby Gums potential to hurt people, coldly brushed off her friends breaking down into tears right in front of her and only started taking secrets being published seriously after she found out her diary ended up in the newspaper.

Unintentionally Unsympathetic covers it. Designated Hero is not in effect since the CMC ultimately call them out for their hypocrisy.

* DesignatedHero: The mane six spend most of the episode enjoying Gabby Gums gossip and don't show any real regret for enjoying the misery of ponies secrets being publically broadcast. Yet were clearly supposed to feel bad for and support them in ignoring, insulting and soaking the CMC in rain water when ''their'' embarrassing secrets end up in the paper. Rarity is particularly guilty of this, as she's (presumably) supposed to seen as the mature one for being willing to actually explain to Sweetie Belle why Gabby Gums is wrong. Which ignores the fact that even ''before'' the Gabby Gums incident, Rarity is portrayed as willing to violate other peoples privacy despite admitting it being wrong and even went so far as to [[NoSympathy coldly brush off her friends breaking down into tears]] over their secrets being published.
