Its still so weird in the current story on Discorderly so far…Diamond Tiara has gotten more flack for wrongdoings than Discord and Chrysalis COMBINED.
Because this:
is less wrong than this:
Interesting to ponder. Discord and Scootaloo are pretty much getting egged on to BE bullies, really. Makes me wonder how people will react to the ending.
I personally theorize that it is because the bullying that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon do is much more believable and relatable, that they get a lot more flack than Discord and Chrysalis?
I personally dislike the two fillies because we’re 3 seasons in and they haven’t even slightly changed their tune…just like the real bullies I faced during my own childhood to teenhood. It creates a growing disdain for the people in question.
However… Unlike most people… I’m not going to wish harmful things upon them… be them real bullies or fictional. People just need to get their heads on straight and learn some manners.
Yeah, I knew a Diamond Tiara as a kid myself, and they did grow out of it and became pretty sweet. Unfortunately since DT and SS are pretty much stereotypical bullies, they aren’t ALLOWED to grow much, even if they learned a lesson. I mean, look how often some lessons STICK. I’m looking at YOU Fluttershy.
Then again most antagonists are seen with pure disdain even if they aren’t THAT horrid. The stuff Iron Will got was insane, and he was pretty balanced.
