What is unlikely is Scootaloo having famous adventurer parents and not saying a word about them for eight seasons.

House =/= not an orphan

Witch is just really unlikely with the most likely conclusion to come up being house = not an orphan

If she were less enthusiastic about their return I might buy that, but she’s excited about them as she ever was about Rainbow Dash, so I find it hard to believe she wouldn’t be talking about them all the time. I get that the reason is likely that they were never planned to exist before this season, but they could have been better implemented.

@warc9

Not necessarily. Not everyone who enters foster care ends up adopted. They can become a ward of the state.

@Knackerman

but Scoots parents being amazing scientist adventurers that she just NEVER MENTIONED is equally as ridiculous.

If you really need a justification beyond “the characters hadn’t actually been created yet”, maybe she never talked about them because she felt like they’d abandoned her (which they kinda did).

@íaqwsy

But also this ep showed that they are not really the best parents after all.They completly ignore her and Scootaloo learned everything about life in the CMC(bad eng)

And then they act like it’s no big thing that they’re dragging her away to the middle of nowhere and forcing her to abandon everyone and everything that was ever part of her life. I swear, these two are right next to Lightning Dust on the “Ponies who shouldn’t be making decisions on Scootaloo’s behalf” list. :P

That sounds like it would be a short window between not adopted and adopted.

No, Orphans can be put into foster homes where they are taken care of by volunteers, they are yet to be adopted.
Just because they are in a home doesn’t mean they have “parents.”

This may come as a shock, but orphans live in houses too. Typically it’s called foster care.

@The Equestrian Zodiac

@Knackerman
To be fair, this has happened before.

Yes, with Shining Armor and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash’s families in particular, but this is still a pretty blatant example.

You brought up foster care, not me.

So again, house = parents that pay rent/mortgage

You are the one who brought up adoption, not me. You can foster a child without adopting them. So your tax forms are kind of a non sequitur.

We don’t even know if they HAVE taxes in Equestria, but that argument is beside the point.

Point being, acting like living in a house was automatically a refutation of the idea that Scootaloo could have been an orphan is ridiculous.

If you want to argue with tax forms that would ask the question “How many children do you have?” and the previous year before adoption you said 0, and this year you said 1 beacuse you adopted, thus entitling the taxpayer to whatever tax credits exist for being parents to zed children, be my guest.

You can also not be an orphan and live in a house. In fact most children who are not orphans live in a house.

Look, you wanna argue with a dictionary, be my guest.

I’m just saying you can still be an orphan and live in a house. Living in a house is not automatically evidence your parents are not dead.

As soon as you get adopted the people who adopted you become your parents.

Assuming that they weren’t zombies at the time, your parents are no longer dead.

Your birth parents are dead, your adoptive parents who are for all legal and tax definitions, your parents, are not dead.

AGAIN -
or·phan
noun

a child whose parents are dead.

Your are still an orphan even if you get adopted. That doesn’t change just because you enter foster care. Adoptive parents don’t change that.

Right, and she would have not have been an orphan right after the adoption was compete.

Your parents are still dead, even when in foster care. Just like how Apple siblings are orphans despite being raised by Granny Smith.

If she was in foster care, that makes her no longer an orphan.

Yet you explicitly stated that she was indeed an orphan.

What part of ‘foster care’ do you not understand? Those don’t have to be group homes but can be private homes as well. Never said she was living in an orphanage.

@northern haste

@Knackerman
That house was clearly not an orphanage

FOSTER CARE. If I use caps will you pay more attention to what I’m saying instead of just assuming something else?

I feel this parent idea like,,ok but it is a kid show so she can’t be an orphan”.I mean the whole show gave us the feeling that she is an orphan like how happy she was for RD’s parents and stuff.But also this ep showed that they are not really the best parents after all.They completly ignore her and Scootaloo learned everything about life in the CMC(bad eng)
