Rant: Twilicorn and Descension: Why it is a bad idea

So, I've seen some people say that Twilight should lose her alicorn/princess status, and I'm touching upon why that is a bad idea on many levels.

Disclaimer, I am not biased towards Twilight, and I was one of those "I'm OK with this" fans when she was given her wings. I am not saying her ascension was a good idea.

 

For those that say that Twilight should lose her wings and go back to being the same "Bookish Egghead Unicorn that she clearly still is, minus the Unicorn part",

let me tell you why that is a fucking TERRIBLE idea.

Twilicorn caused a pretty big shitstorm when it came around. Some people were on the fence, some people didn't care, supported it, a lot of people were pretty mad to say the least. There was plenty of drama in the weeks/months following. A lot of it has died down considerably since then, but some people are STILL mad over it. Now, Magical Mystery Cure wasn't done in the best possible way. It was rushed, and the execution of said alicornification was pretty sloppy to say the least. S4 had some development for Twily. And then the finale happened.

If her wings and crown were taken away, all of that character development, all of the fandom drama and "hurt" would have been for naught.

Think of it like this;

A teenager keeps nagging his/her mother/father for something expensive. Like a phone, or a computer. The parent gets so frustrated with the kid because they keep nagging them, that they eventually give in just to stop the frustration. And what does the kid do? Gives away said thing or says, "Oh I don't want it anymore."

The parent gets extremely angry, which is not unjustified, because they went through all that nagging and drama for nothing.

That's pretty much the gist of what I'm talking about when I say that taking away Twilight's princess status and wings is a bad idea.

It's already in place, and even though it's been awhile since it happened, it would still be a bad idea, because the whole tirade would have been all for nothing.

Anyway, rant over, sorry for it being so long, or if it's already been touched upon, I've never seen anybody give a discussion on this.

Feel free to give your two cents.

(Would have this been better as a topic?)

Yes lets do it... first the alicorns restrain Twily, then they tie ropes around her wings, and Celestia and Luna pull the ropes in opposite directions and rip her wings off. Blood goes everywhere, and everyone in a cult like manner start bathing in the blood....... o wait.... hmm... i think ive heard this story befroe.....
