but I've seen literally NO ONE complaining about Spike, despite being far more blatant in this season more then any other season.

oh, it annoys me too. i dont talk about it about it because im not really in the habit of making long complaints about tv shows except digimon hunters

also because i stopped expecting them to not treat spike like *bleep* when there was that one episode in like season 2 or something whose moral was along the lines of "all dragons are inherently *bleep*s, and spike is an exception because he was raised by a member of a morally superior species"

Oh yeah, and the beginning the mane 6 openly tease and laugh at Spike for not being very dragon-like and then turn around and say "but why would you want to?" That one line has SO MANY unfortunate implications behind it, and it makes the episode all the more uncomfortable to sit through.
 
Well I think Spike gets treated well. What I hate is Diamond Tiara.

How she treated people.

Well, it's one thing when a character acts that way to everyone, it's another when otherwise nice (or supposedly nice) characters treat one specific character like that on a regular basis. What I find more insulting is that most of how Spike gets treated is glanced over and not openly acknowledged in the show, giving it kind of a passive aggressive feel.

Oh, well I geuss I just don't feel he takes it as strongly as we do. Cause if he did he wouldve either A. Ran away or B. Punched somepony.

Thing is, it's his BEST FRIENDS that are doing this to him, so he can't really do either of those. They either take advantage of him (mostly Twilight and Rarity do this), openly mock or tease him (Twilight's prone to doing this, though the worst case of this was in Dragon Quest, which... I probably shouldn't get into), or not care when something bad happens to him (this has been almost every other episode in season 4, at least to me; he's subject to the brunt and of slap-stick, the worst being when he's launched off a springboard in Castle Mane-ia, and only Applejack seems to notice and/or care).

Again, maybe I've just been overly sensitive to this as of late, but I feel like the writers should tone it down a bit regardless.
 
Haven't caught it. But I read the summary on the wiki so I have to give a temp rating of it seeming like they used elements from somewhere else. I remember a show having an episode like this.
