Babs Seed only joined DT and SS because she was being made fun of for being a blank flank. So to avoid being bullied, she joins the bullies and becomes one. It doesn't solve her problem, since DT and SS will still harass her and Babs will realize that this isn't the solution and in the end, will apologize to the CMC and join them. And I have no idea why I think this, but by the end of the episode, I'm betting Babs will have her cutie mark, and I'm betting it has something to do with either friendship or standing up for yourself.

Honestly, I despise how bullying's portrayed in MLP: FIM. They use unoriginal, stereotypical, cliched characters that I have always hated since I was a child. Cartoons just do it wrong. I don't think the media should try to touch upon the subject, because they always, without exception, get it wrong.

I like Babs Seed. People who hate her so much should realize that at least, so far, she's a character with at least some motivation. Why does DT and SS bully? Because they exist only to fufill their status as the cliche popular bully type character, of course.

Bottom line: 'Bullies', as they are so chidlishly named, don't harass without reason. They have no excuse, BUT they have motivation. Yet nothing on the media has realized this. I think Babs is proof that FIM does realize that sometimes, people become 'bullies', because they want to escape harassment themselves. Doesnt' cover all of it, but oh well. It still won't send the point home, I'm betting. Any emotional message FIM tries to send comes short to me, because they suffocate the moral with cliches and it seems they try to hard. I love the show as a form of entertainment, not as a tug on the heartstrings. (Lyra pun intended.)
