** Essentially, in the series as a whole, anyone whose species is a simple fish is liable to die with nary a concern from the main cast.
* There are some episodes in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' where we're really meant to side with the Mane Cast when they're being just as big jerks (or even worse) as the antagonists. This is especially prevalent whenever we have snooty, upper-cruft ponies, compared to our lovable protagonists... who proceed to completely ruin the former's social event because they can't be arsed to learn anything about such events, including respecting them enough as to not crash their party.
** In defense of their behavior at the Grand Galloping Gala, they were not only specifically invited but the hostess invited them (admittedly, without ''telling'' them) with the specific intent of having their usual antics upset the party for theirher own amusement. You cannot fairly criticize people for arriving at a party with an express invitation and then behaving precisely as their hostess wanted them to act. (You can, however, fault Princess Celestia with her apparent desire to pull a practical joke on every guest ''except'' the Mane Six, in addition to not telling the Mane Six that their actual purpose of being invited is to use them to set up a prank on someone else.)
** Prevalent in Boast Busters, where Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack take issue with Trixie's magic show and boasting, despite all three doing plenty of boasting themselves and begin heckling her for little if any reason. By the end of the episode Trixie's home and possessions are destroyed by an Ursa Minor and the main culprits of the bear being brought there, [[What an Idiot!|Snips and Snails]] get mustaches as 'punishment'.
*** In point of fact they weren't 'heckling' Trixie; they were standing at the back of the crowd and talking amongst themselves about how unimpressed they were with her act. The only reason Trixie heard them in the first place is because Rainbow Dash forgot to use her indoor voice, but that was not intended. (We have seen what happens when Rainbow Dash deliberately intends to be confrontational -- its not only far louder, its done at much closer range.)
