Scootaloo's Aunts
I have noticed that a lot of people don't really have them, but how they were introduced.

What would you change to make their introduction better?

You got it kinda backwards, in 2012 they would have had no reason to shove explicitly lesbian ponies in, they would have just given Scoot normal parents/caretakers. These two only exist in s9 to
A) Make Scootaloos shit parents look slightly less shit
B) Earn woke points

The writers should've gone with the original plotline of Rainbow Dash adopting Scootaloo that was teased from the start of the series. Suddenly having the aunts "come back" after however many years and zero mention until that point was both an egregious retcon in its own right and a massive slap in the face for everyone who wanted Scoots and RD to be sisters. It was absolutely criminal to abandon the heartwarming "Olympian athlete takes her crippled #1 fan under her wing" story in favor of "wine aunts forgot about their niece for a decade" and in my opinion the single worst mistake in the entire show.

They ARE negligent. The line in Parental Glidance instantly damns any possible preexisting parental figure she could have had.

Like they're better than her actual parents, sure, but so is literally every parent short of Diamond Tiara's bitch of a mother.

Just have Dash take her in or just don't mention it, like fuck. It's not like the other Crusaders aren't raised by their adult equivalent.

That was never the original plotline though. That was a season 3 plotline and the best direction they ever took Dash's character but Faust always thought she'd be a bad role model (given the early pitch episodes where she neglects Scootaloo to try and impress the Wonderbolts)

Just don't, period.
This shows why >>42698232
When their episode happened, it only showed her parents technically dropped her when she was a baby, and fucked off anywhere to have adventures, not caring she has a body malfunction that will forever land her as an Earth pony. And when they appeared, they were like "fuck your friends, we are taking you now" And if you add the comic, you realize they are completely disconnected from her. They literally don't know her.
And then, the aunts: 1) they should be more present in her life. I know kids are dumb, but from the Scootaloo episodes we see, is obvious they are more busy clamming each other than seeing her well being. Even Sweetie Belle's parents show up from time to time, and even visit her even when they are in a world trip honeymoon.
And 2) Lesbians. We all know they only did it because the alphabet crowd would say "hey, representation", when we all knew they were GIANT PUSSIES by not making Lyra and Bon Bon a thing!
>But the finally
Fuck that! That's the fast text at the end of the commercial.
>What would you have done?
This >>42698370. Never show her family, but make Rainbow Dash her spiritual mentor. Make an episode where she learns that, now that she is a Wonderbolt, he has to mature and become a good role model. Even add that kids who don't have a very strong mature presence tend to idolize others, so we all should be careful with the example we give to the kids. End with Rainbow taking Scootaloo under her mantle. Never show Scootaloo's family, period.

As it stands, it was a bad retcon, so fuck Scootaloo's parents, and fuck her aunts. All they are remembered now is being cumdumpsters who get the lesbian fucked out of them. If that's all you remember from a character, you failed.

Some pedos have morals instead of going full unhinged degenerate. They might want to diddle a filly but won't be gay at least. Some will diddle colts too though. And then even with gays, there is a resentment sometimes between gay males and gay females.
And there is the incest aspect too in this scenario. There are levels to this scenario.
And then there's plenty of non-pedos that just don't like gay aunts.

Make it so they hadn't been supposedly caring for her all along. Because there's no evidence anyone was caring for her up until this forced episode. It made no sense. Scoot even had dialogue about not having anyone in Rainbow Dash's parent episode. So immediately you're left to question the quality of their care. There was so little organic about it. Way worse than Twilight's sudden BBBFF.

Basically you could still have them. But they aren't related. They adopt her from foster, but are from out of town so a move is threatened. Scoots struggles with having a family vs having friends. And the loving duo decide to move to Ponyville. And just forget writing Scoot's parents altogether. They are immoral pieces of selfish neglectful shit that shouldn't exist in Equestria. Just pretend they don't exist. Because the only alone foals are those with dead parents.

This neatly gets rid of all the issues I have with the episode. But still isn't the comfiest arc for Scoots. That would be bring adopted by Dash.

Writers so bad at their jobs they attempted to make the evil 3 look irredeemable in Frenemies but made them look relateable and having the potential to learn friendship.

Who wrote Frenemies anyway? It was a good episode but it was trying to be the opposite of what the writer intended!? Just another indication of how poor the late season writing was. Good by accident! Lol. And instead of capitalizing on it they destroy Frenemies with the finale

I used to think Frenemies was the only episode where the writers just utterly failed to communicate but now I see all along. We've got 3 examples now of things that were received completely off what writer intent was. Massive communication failure.

Also they were first introduced in the children's novels written by G.M.

Randoms though she lived in the equivalent of a trailer house in Equestria, so probably a shitty stable.

Personally, I was the boring guy, and believed she only had a family who wasn't so present, but at least she had nice friends to keep her grounded. And no, this isn't a "Scootaloo can't fly" joke.
