Show, don´t tell.

I agree there. As far as I’m concerned, Silver Spoon is not as much of a bully as Diamond Tiara, but she still is one, regardless.
 
@C Money  

That would just make her as bad as Diamond Tiara is. Possibly even worse.

“Only because she’s a follower type.” > This isn’t Pokemon. Typically people with that level of shallowness are the ones who end up with no friends. In the real world, people are bitches/assholes all the time to other people. But guess what? Those same people have friends!
 
Shallow Spoon might be a popular trope among her ‘fans’ but the writers who actually get paid to write good entertainment (Hasbro approved this script!) aren’t going to cater to those with shallow mindsets who view friendships at face value when they don’t even know.
 
Enjoy the comic. You might pick up a nice friendship lesson from this issue given it’s ALL ABOUT the MEANING of friendship.

@Marvelous TK  
I agree with you 100% on this. I for one, is not a fan of the “Silver Spoon is redeemable while Diamond Tiara is not” fanon.
 
Yes, Silver Spoon is the follower I get that, but she still a bully and the writers are gonna keep it that way.

@Marvelous TK  

@C Money  
Sooooo… you want her to betray her best friend as thoroughly as possible to the point that she’s utterly destroyed socially, probably emotionally? … Why the hell would she do that? Even in those moments they don’t see eye-to-eye there’s still nothing in there to prompt that sort of extreme reaction. In that scenario you’re just using Silver Spoon as the vehicle for your own opinions on Diamond, rather than anything she’d actually do.
 
And is a hugely bitch thing to do regardless of target which disagrees with your earlier statement that she’s only kind of a bitch ‘because she’s a follower type’.
 
I think what you’re actually saying is “I don’t like Diamond Tiara so I don’t want her to have friends.” That’s about all I’m getting out of it, anyways.
 
As to @C Money
 
… what’s that got to do with anything

@Marvelous TK  
Also: looks like even Cheerilee is done with Tiara’s crap.

@Marvelous TK  
I mean more in the sense of her being done with Tiara’s hateful bullcrap. Even assist in degrading Diamond tiara’s popularity by revealing Tiara’s secrets.

@C Money  
people have been saying that for forever but i just don’t see it
 
I mean, Diamond Tiara is obviously the brains of the operation, no question. But I direct you to the ‘Redeemable Silver Spoon Club’ evidence of choice, clapping for Granny Smith. That was not in fact the action of a mindless follower, that was someone who has their own thoughts and opinions and will to act on them. And while, again, this is usually used to support her redeemability, I argue that this evidence that she can and will act on her own in contrast to Diamond’s agenda prove that her usual actions are done because she wants to. If she will so clearly go against Diamond’s standpoint for her own, then in fact, would her usual actions not also be because she, personally, wants to?
 
As a supplement, the famous Pinkie Pride ice cream scene, where she quite clearly shows she does not, in fact, let Diamond push her around, and can and will stand up to her if she so pleases.
 
As much as people want to redeem Silver Spoon by making her just Diamond Tiara’s lackey who will someday break out of her cruel and oppressive control that she clearly has over her, that’s all complete bull and Silver Spoon has always been portrayed a bully in her own right, just not as creative as her best friend.
 
Possibly less vindictive, too.
 
But still a bully.

@Marvelous TK  
Only because she’s a follower type. I have a feeling that eventually Silver Spoon might become a friend of the cutie Mark crusaders. And then start Silver Spooning Sweetie Belle, hubba-hubba.

@C Money  
Probably because she’s also kind of one.

Why do you stay with that bitch, Silver spoon?

Neat story, sis.
