Line 128:
* Inverted in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', where it's usually the heroes, their family members, and their neighbors who do most of the things that buck social convention, cause massive property damage and endanger lives. Often without consequences beyond maybe having to make an apology and occasionally doing a few extra chores. Sometimes, they even get ''thanked'' after doing stuff like destroy a major social event.
** If you're referring to the Grand Galloping Gala, the person thanking them for destroying said major social event is the same person who invited them there specifically for the purpose of having their personal brand of chaos turn the place upside down. Admittedly, she didn't ''tell'' them that's what they were there for, but its entirely understandable that a person who deliberately schemed for a certain outcome then shows gratitude and pleasure at having received said outcome. One can only imagine that if the opinion of the ''rest'' of the Gala guests had been solicited, it would have been distinctly unfavorable.
** Equestria has a culture that makes forgiveness and tolerance two of its highest virtues, and holding onto a grudge past its (very short) sell-by date into one of its worst sins. Equestria also has a hostile form of magical wildlife that feeds off of lingering hatred and resentment and can rapidly reduce an entire country to a frozen wasteland if allowed to reproduce out of control, so denying them a regular food supply is a matter of critical importance. [[Fridge Brilliance|Fans have speculated that these two things are related.]]
