If anything I ship Fashion Plate with Hoity Toity who’s a bit more flamboyant. Also, I may not be a fan of straight shipping them but, hey, everybody has different opinions so…

Yeah. There’s no way in hell somebody as insanely prone to fluster around stallions would feel as comfortable getting this close to the guy if he wasn’t basically carrying around a big neon sign with the word GAY! lettered in.
Then again, that also means that Hoity Toity is at least bi, if not straight, because Rarity was equally excited to see him, but for the most part wouldn’t get anywhere near him.
He’s honestly probably not going to get much art love. His only real trait is ‘being fabulous’, and shippers seem to find that kind of boring. Steven Magnet still only has like 350 images and he’s been totes fab since season one.

I’m pretty sure that straight men trying to make it in the fashion industry would be met with hostility. I mean, imagine the horror of men who actually want to look at women telling women what they should wear.
Rarity has been shown to have an avid romantic interest in stallions. In fact, her blatant lack of any romantic reaction to this guy was a bit odd. No fluttery lashes, no poutty lips, no bedroom eyes. Even the cheek squishing seemed rather platonic, maybe she knows something about him that kept her normal interests in check…
