sure.

I was before the episode and still am after it.

Of course. Just be careful not to backslide, okay?

Hmmm…ok, you do good, so I give chance, but only one chance! No more.

@lasty  
Dr. Mobius is that you?

@Hackron  
I kinda hope the upbringing being the reason for how Diamond’s family is goes back like twelve generations to one pony who was raised just fine but decided to be a jerk anyway, for no raisin.

@PumpJack  
Maybe.
 
I just know that they redeemed Discord, Gilda, and Trixie, who are all adults. I wouldn’t rule out Diamond’s mother getting redemption at some point too.

@Hackron  
It does show us adult bullies/jerks (such as her mother), so while it doesn’t clearly illustrate your point, it is touched upon that some people will be assholes their entire lives.

@zerowinger66  
Maybe its because I had experience with bullies myself and they never showed remorse for what they did. I’m not saying that bullies are just like serial killers, I’m just saying that some people never change, whether it’s someone who is merely a jerk or someone who is outright evil.
 
But hey, the show already decided that Diamond Tiara should be good now, so it’s a moot point.

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.
 
I certainly can.

Di, if I didn’t already love you, I wouldn’t have spent the past two years writing a 195,000 word long fanfic about you and Silver which is still ongoing.
 
Oh, look; a link to it can be found here –> The Diamond Exchange

Well you gotta keep in mind that for pretty much 4 seasons we had a share of incorrigible bullies and the show went along with that with little trouble. So I don’t see why it’d be so hard for them to introduce another later on if they wanted to.
 
Not that I think they need to, I’m just saying that they could do it.

@Hackron  
All I have to say is she’s a child if you want to apply that logic to say Sombra that’s fine but a child is a little too much to use that kinda of thinking on there’s always a chance a child can be helped.

@Pagan  
Well, yeah that’s kind of my point - no one every truly sees themselves as “the bad guy.” Doesn’t justify their actions or mean they shouldn’t be stopped, but it does go a way towards explaining why they do the things they do.
 
 
@Hackron  
Well yes, I would say it’s a rather dark and ludicrously extreme example to compare a run of the mill schoolyard bully to a friggin serial killer, and conclude that because the latter is irredeemable then the former is as well.
 
Besides, if kids are being told to believe that the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony is redeemable, it would be rather ridiculous to suggest to them that Diamond Tiara isn’t.

Yes, all of yes

@zerowinger66  
Have you ever read about serial killers like “the night stalker”? Some of these people openly said “I’m evil, and I like hurting people”.
 
I know this is a rather dark example, but I am just trying to make a point. Some people are well aware that what they are doing is wrong, but don’t care, or even are proud of it.

@Hackron  
Even the most evil and rotten people think they’re doing good.

I know that this show wants to be optimistic and that’s fine. I’m just saying that telling kids that deep down everyone wants to be good is just lying to them.
 
Kids should be made aware that some people really are just rotten to the core.

@Hackron  
That doesn’t sound very good I hope they don’t do that in the show a lot of people watch the show because it makes them feel better that just sounds like a major downer and very pessimistic and really has no place in a show like this.

@ThisGuyHasNoName  
Have another Sombra that talks, who can deny them so it will have some impact when they ‘accidentally’ murder him.

@Hackron
 
And more than likely, they won’t.
 
How are they going to get THAT kind of message across?

I honestly had no interest in seeing her “redeemed”.
 
Some people are just jerks and are always going to be jerks. They’re happy that way. In real life many bullies don’t get better, they just become adult bullies.
 
Some people just can’t be, or don’t want to be, redeemed. I feel like this is something the show should address, but hasn’t.

Oh, and sorry for my bad english…
