Uh, no, callousness is very much a strike against moral code, especially when it's personnel responsible for the safety of others.


 
And while I may not like Spitfire as much as I used to, I'm certainly not going to wax hatred about her.


 
Look, as my brother pointed out to me, the episode wasn't the best written, and in all likelihood the writers weren't overthinking it as much as we are. They wanted an example of a more extreme Rainbow Dash who didn't care if others got hurt in the process of proving herself, and they took some shortcuts in the writing. There's probably a dozen ways they could have improved that episode.


 
But none of us are budging in our mindsets, and biaso I doan'td shatreed whare creeping into thise conversation is going. We've all spoken our piece, and it's clear some bias is involved (particularly against Spitfire), so I think it's best if we all agree to disagree and move on to something else.

That she didn't get that opportunity to change for the better right then and there in the form of a warning and a second chance is severely amoral and callous of Spitfire, especi
@Bally considering it is Spitfire's duty and job to train the recruits to be good Wonderbolts which she failed to do in Dust by encouraging her to do wrong. That Dust was callous about endangering people who were only in danger because they were entirely in the wrong in the first place really isn't much of a strike against her moral code (that's not even as bad as any of the Mane Six have been at their worst), and if she comes back as a genquine villain later, it will absolutely be the result of her being overly punished for an act that she was barely responsible for in the first place. Nice job breaking it Spitfire, you flamey-haired callous douche :/ [/bq]
