The wonder bolts were the only notable Pegasi in the last episode as far as I remember. But they don't sem to cre too much about high society
Cool top speaking of high things...

Why the hell does FIM have a Dethroning Moment of Suck page? I thought those were for shows that had jumped the shark and entries were reserved for episodes that most of the fanbase thinks suck. And FIM's DMOS page just feels like whiiiiiining. Not complaining.

Probably the same reason character like the CMC and Twist keep getting put on The Scrappy and The Wesley pages, and Discord... yeah, you know.
A lot of the pages seem to be added based on one or two people's opinions, rahter than the holistic nature they're supposed to have. Basically there's some troper who's rolling through announcing, "I do not like this, therefor it = Dethroning Moment Of Suck". Probably.

Eh, it's just a page for people to bitch about stuff they didn't like. As long as it doesn't spill over here, I say let them complain about it.

Don't forget Pipsqueak! Everyone hated Pipsqueak from the moment he appeared, with the way he ruined the show!

I like Pipsqueak.

I'll never understand the lack of love for Twist. With other Scrappies, I can at least se WHY they aren't liked, but Twist didn't fucking DO anything!

I don't liken those subjetive "tropes" either. I actually had to remove pipsqueak from the scrappy several times.
In fact I proposed that those "examples" that don't represent a majority should be removed... No success unfortunately.
I am sure most of us like the CMC, pipsqueak and twist. It's just a random guy that wants to pass his singular opinion as an universal truth

I assume because they find her lisp annoying.

I agree, twist has barely appeared on the show, not enough to be a scrappy

Some people dislike Twist because of her lisp. some people dislike Pip because... fuck, I don't know. He got to be nice to Luna where one of the mane six could? where one of the CMC could? He seemed arbitrary or some shit - fuck, I can't even sympathize with that. They introduced the poor kid for one episode! He was cute, and he had no lasting impact! The episode wasn't even that spectacular compared to the rest of the season, so it's not as if he'll blight you on every rewatch, and even if you do feel the need to play it over and over he's barely in it and not that bad when he is! I genuinely don't see any reason to hate Pip.

Exactly, there isn't even enough stuff to hate, I understand ginger's dislike for pinkie for instance. But that simply doesn't make sense

You're JUSTIFYING people's dislike for Twist?!?! She appeared even LESS than Pip!
actually, regarding Pip, I guess there's the fact that the boy voicing him REALLY isn't that good an actor. It didn't bother me personally, but if you have the gall to find Twist's lisp annoying...

Oh, i'm not justifying it. I'm just saying it's a potential reason. It's still a really stupid one, but it's there. It's just that, while she hadn't been around much, what time she was around was enough to make her mildly annoying. Pip had only a few lines, and I'd say overall he did less than her.
Personally I think there's more reason to be sympathetic for Twist. Does AB still hang out with her occasionally? now that Scoots and Sweetie are in her class, it doesn't seem much like it...

I know I'm probably stretching, but I swear Sweetie and Scoots actually DISLIKE Twist.
and I still think Pip is badly acted (personally I find that makes him more endearing )

Yeah, I was just joking about some discussion forums I've seen where everyone seems to hate children and all portrayals of children, and so every new kid character on this show is automatically "The Scrappy" for them.

I think the other issue with Twist is that some people interpret her lack of appearances after Call Of The Cutie to mean that she basically abandoned Apple Bloom after getting her Cutie Mark. It's hardly a good, canon based reason, but I've seen it out there.
Pipsqueak...I don't get any of the hate for him either. I mean, he was unnecessary at worst, his inclusion didn't damage the quality of the episode at all, so I'm not sure why people complain.
