Canterlot wedding, imposters and Twilight. · 9:29pm Apr 16th, 2019
The funny thing about "A Canterlot Wedding". Time after time, both in stories and comment I often see the same thing - people accuse Celestia/M6/someoneelse that they completely ignored Twilight warnings about fake "Cadance". But the thing is that Twilight doesn't knew anything about imposters or fakes! Her accusation against "Cadance" back in episode boils down to "she’s demanding", "she's rude" and "she doesn't deserve Shining Armor". That all. She never said anything about "Cadance" being a fake. No, instead she behaved like a jealous little sister and just throwing a tantrum. That the reasons why no one took her seriously.
So question is - people truly forgot what exactly happened back then and then accepted fanon because is sounds "close enough" or there is something else?
People remember Twilight’s iconic phrase (“I’ve got something to say! She’s evil!”) and hardly remember anything else. Taken out of context, it sounds like a warning that Cadance somehow became evil. In the context of the actual episode, it just sums up the list of Twilight’s other complaints.
I.e. people didn’t so much forget what happened, as they remember it piece-wise. Fanon exists between those pieces.
