> More on the Mane 6's actions in a bit.
I, Bridgefag, present to you all today, the Most Unethical At The Grand Galloping Gala awards! Or MUATGGG (or MUatGGG) for short! Come one, come all, for we have a pretty stiff competition between these six fine ponies (or maybe not).
Pinkie Pie
Was a (frankly mild by her own standards) party animal and impolite, but it was more from ignorance than any impishness. Yes, not even impish, not to mention malice or greed.
Rarity
Mostly innocent, was actually a better gentleman than the pony she so foolish pined for, and her outburst at the end of her night was completely justified. I don't hold her at fault for inadvertently causing the statue to fall over and the resulting chain reaction from Rainbow Dash's attempt to save the day.
Rainbow Dash
Could have made somepony's night moderately bad (if not at least injured that one pony) and royally embarrassed herself had her little stunts not worked. Did try to save the day at the end, and while I don't consider it bad to do so, it was for the wrong reasons. Still, her actions are only mildly self serving and her attempt to forestall the statue, even if it blew up in her face, wasn't bad unto itself. I suppose her clumsiness with the columns could've killed somepony... depending on how durable each race is. Regardless she doesn't get the reward of most unethical.
Twilight Sparkle
Is arguably the most innocent; her desire to spend time with Celestia wasn't born from any selfish desire or ambition of any sort and she just got the short end of the stick from Celestia's duty as a princess while being a complete bystander to everyone else's shenanigans .
Applejack
I am going to ignore the unlicensed kiosk she set up. Uncertain if Equestria has regulations as restrictive as our world. She still has an element of greed to her desire even if it is in part by an earnest desire to help out her family. She also did trip a pony. Still, doesn't deserve the reward.
Fluttershy
The animal caretaker who is supposed to understand creatures as timid and fickle as animals can be couldn't handle when animals rejected her, and during a busy event when wild animals would be understandably a bit more afraid to make themselves known. Each rejection was like a bullet to her ergo, which is apparently pretty fragile and she needed validation. I can soften it a little bit, this was a night she was hyped for and that hype certainly played a roll, but her chasing of a bunch of wild animals after only a few hours (at most) of being rejected seems to be a terrible performance for someone who should be used to tending to, and befriending, shy and timid creatures. There is one saving grace that prevents her from looking completely bad: the idea that ponies go a bit crazy when they can't fulfill their cutie mark's purpose, which we have definitely seen with Pinkie Pie this season. I am used to Fluttershy having a bit of a dark side as a partly show, partly fandom driven trait. but, I think Fluttershy's actions due genuinely look kind of bad without that theory. Even with that in mind, I think Fluttershy showed the most disregard for everypony (heh, everycreature might be a more appropriate term for once). Congrats Fluttershy, you get the MUATGGG award!
...but if I look beyond the Mane 6. Would Princess Celestia be a contender if she knew/was hoping for some disaster to occur? I'm not sure if she wanted the night to be ruined like this though. More like, having some level of disruption to the upper crust at their expense. Prince Blueblood is the most horrible person there but he didn't do anything horribly unethical, just ungentlemanly (or gentelstallionly) and self absorbed.
