Talk:Make New Friends but Keep Discord/@comment-15889853-20180130094237/@comment-5837525-20180201222453

No, I don't root for Discord in this episode because his actions and motives are not SUPPOSED to be rooted for. Does one root for Rainbow Dash in 28 Pranks Later? Or Applejack in Where the Apple Lies? Or Pinkie Pie in Rock Solid Friendship? No, because even though they're the stars of those episodes, their motives are not positive.

Just because Pinkie Pie is my favorite character, that doesn't mean I defend every single one of her decisions. And even though Discord brings plenty of entertainment to this episode, I'm not going to defend his decision to try and make Fluttershy jealous of the Smooze or to try and send Tree Hugger to another dimension. Because those aren't things that someone learning about friendship is supposed to do.
