Spitfire goes 100% Matt Foley on Scoots.

Stop with the tagging war…

@Barhandar  
I wasn’t. She is trying to warn her about something that could be very horrible and wanted to stop her from doing that.

@genervt  
Dude! Calm the hell down! It’s a parody skit of Matt Foley Motivational Speaker from the old SNL episodes.

@Barhandar  
Why do you even care that much, it was done partly for comedy sake and partly for story sake, it’s just a fun bit of animation, nothing more!

@warc9  

Congratulations on enabling abuse of all children whose genetic donors used “protecting them” excuse.

Sorry! I thought the website didn’t post my comment before I refreshed.

“Why you little…!”

@Barhandar  
Yeah no. This isnt abuse beacuse it didnt hurt her and was trying to protect her.

@genervt  
It’s a cartoon! It can happen to anything!

@infinita est lux Solis  
It might have been funnier if it didn´t happen to a filly.

@genervt  
I’m aware of that, but to me this was funny, not triggering.

@infinita est lux Solis  
If I don´t like that scene I don´t like it.  
Not everything is somehow related to Lightning Dust.

@genervt  
Please, just stop being salty.

@Background Pony #D12E  
Wrong again.  
This scene is awful because it is abuse, not because of Dusty.

@Barhandar  
Jesus,the reach.It’s a cartoon, they exaggerate to show that she’s a drill sergeant.And you’re thinking about infants,Scoots is portrayed as a rebellious teen in this episode.You’re just reaching and nitpicking because the episode dont fulfill your headcanon concerning Lightning Dust

Spitifire I think you should stop.

@Flufux  
Shaking and shouting at a kid is definitely abuse. (fun fact: if you shake young enough kid you might just kill them!)  
The only part where caretaker needs to shout is to get kid to stop doing whatever bad thing they’re doing. After that, regular-volume explanation of why it’s bad and what punishment will follow if the kid’ll keep doing it.
 
And she’s not even Scootaloo’s caretaker.  
@Background Pony #1554  
Wonderbolts are a _para_military organization with zero obligation to copy abusive bullshit that is American drill sergeants, and as mentioned Scoots isn’t even part of it.

@Vaidelot  

 
Poor Scootaloo must feel like Bart Simpson.

Spitfire is collecting charges as if it be a TGC.

Well, it was established in the IDW comics that she’s terrible with kids…

@Background Pony #1554
 
No, not like that.  
And Scootaloo is not part of the Wonderbolts.

@genervt  

 
You know that’s how military works, right?

@Flufux  
She could have talked to her reasonably, instead she terrorized her and yelled at her.
 

 
@Background Pony #C9B0  
Spitfire gave me enough reasons.  
Wonderbolt Academy, Rainbow Falls, Top Bolt and this.

@Background Pony #C9B0  
That’s what I figured…I just like to make a good counterargument every now and again.
