Flurry of Emotions · 7:29pm Apr 22nd, 2017
So did anyone else find this episode’s moral slightly off-putting?
Let’s real talk for a moment here, Twilight. Raising your voice at your niece for possibly endangering the lives of other foals does not make you a bad pony. Furthermore, apologizing and telling her that none of it is her fault just because she pouts and essentially starts throwing a hissy fit after being yelled at isn’t a good lesson to teach a child. At this rate, Flurry’s going to grow up spoiled and thinking she deserves to have her every whim catered to. Not a great prospect for somepony born into as much power and influence as Flurry was. If she’s done something wrong, you should teach her not to do it again instead of encouraging her to get away with doing whatever she wants as you do everything in your power to keep her happy.
Well, that’s just my two cents anyway. Overall I liked the episode and it was certainly better than I was expecting. The premiere was pretty good too and I enjoyed watching them. So here’s to the rest of season 7!
Except you forget that Flurry Heart is literally just a baby. She doesn't know any better. I mean, you can't expect her to learn everything just like that at such a young age. It's beyond her mental capacity. They have to be coaxed and educated a little at a time, and as soon as they grow older, that's when they'll really have to learn discipline. You see what I'm saying?
And yes, babies actually CAN get scared of you when you yell at them. I've actually talked to some people about that, and they agree.
