Newbie Dash

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
S06E07
Seasn 6 Episode 7

This was a bad episode.

The nicknames, also weren't cool. That is just bullying, even if all the Wonderbolts have a mean-spirited nickname, it doesn't make it ok. I can't believe they endorsed insulting nicknames & hazing. 

The lesson in this one should have been different. Rainbow Dash needed to work as part of a team, not try to stand out or be unique. Instead Spitfire told her to not showboat, but that's not really the problem that Rainbow Dash had. She really didn't get that she needed to be part of the team & not stand out. That's why they all wear matching uniforms & fly in synchronized patterns.

I guess after dealing with Starlight Glimmer, they felt like they shouldn't endorse conformity? But really they should have pointed out, that sometimes it's necessary to be part of a team & work with others. You can't be a special snowflake all the time.
