I was joking. It was a reference to a movie and book series. And a bit of military strategy.
Obviously, though, it’s immoral and unethical to apply such standards to people who aren’t an actual clear and present threat to life like, say, school bullies. You’d only apply those standards to more dangerous types as a professional with the resources and dedication to actually do it properly, like a military officer fighting a criminal organisation or geurilla fighters. Otherwise it’s really best to just not get involved.
But hey, then again, if you’ve got the aptitude for it and they’re violent to you so they’ve earned it and the proper channels aren’t doing their job, Ender sure pulled it off well.
But that was a much more gritty and nasty world and situation than we see in Equestria Girls - or even most of real life (for modern humans in developed nations), for that matter.
Unless it’s a gang that threatens your life and the proper authorities aren’t listening and you’re acting in legal self-defense, then such things like I said really aren’t a good idea, no.
So much of crap in life comes from people not willing to just drop things and forgive. We’d probably have colonized other star systems by now if humans were more forgiving and less petty.
@TheAntiCat
when Sunset bullies someone, no one bats an eye; when someone bullies her, everyone loses their minds. =m=
@Cirrus Light
however, it’s never been shown in the movies that Sunset’s peers – her victims – actually posed any legitimate threat to her whatsoever.
and we need to keep them in line the exact same way she did so no one lays a hand on her? uhh, ooooookay~…
that’s exactly what I find wrong with you guys – you people forgive Sunset WAAAY to easily considering all her heinous crimes, yet you’re so squeamish when it comes to forgiving anyone who transgresses against her. why not be as compassionate and empathetic with everyone else as you are with Sunset? it doesn’t make an iota of sense at all! 😔
@angrybrony
oh, I get it. you want to beat them over the head with a pipe wrench. bad idea, as I wouldn’t risk spending at least twenty years to life in prison just to keep Shimmer out of “harm’s way.” besides, she’s done worse to her peers than what they would ever do to her – the worst they’ve done to her was shoot nasty looks at her and talk trash behind her back… and you want to beat them half to death for that?! sorry, bro. you can count me out! 😞
@angrybrony
Sounds interesting. What will the bet be, then? Some kind of challenge? I’m not sure how great a prize a pipe wrench is, but I guess you could bet with one xp

Go full Monte Cristo on them and do something brilliantly, beautifully sadistic and genius.
Or forgive or something like that.
Actually, no. They need to be stopped before they bully someone else. Scar them mentally, burn fear so deep into them that they’ll never conceive of violence again. A single, swift decisive blow that will render them incapable of retaliation.
Ender’s Game :D
Only if they’re really a danger to others, though, I think.
One thing that really irritates me about schools is a thing called “slut shaming.”
Know what pisses me off? Bullying in general. It doesn’t need to be specific. Bullying is a low act.
Bullying itself does piss me off. Though there are certain types that I find to be lower than others. Honestly in school I became a trash talker after dealing with being teased and bullied. I’m actually very lucky I never got my face kicked in for retaliating on some of them.

Correcting grammar on graffiti could be a way to produce smugness over their writers.
(Though I don’t know if that’d actually help.)
Also I now realize that an exclamation point should be added in addition to the comma.
sorry, didn’t know you were joking. for a minute there, I thought you were being serious. dangit! >~<
well, you’re right. it makes sense to act in defense – when people get out of hand, how else are you gonna deal with them?

Double points if you actually grade the grammar. XD.

To be honest, the only time one will ever see graffiti that is actually artistic is on buildings in cities by what I know lol.
The Princess has spoken!!!
nobody makes my sunny-bunny cry
NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Graffiti assholes tend not to be the grammatical sort. Note the lack of periods and the ever watchful eye of CAPTAIN CAPITAL.
