I really am saddened to say this, but I absolutely do hate this episode. It is vile. Revolting. Writer Kaita Mpambara, I'm calling you out by name, this episode you wrote sucks. 

Sometimes there's no nice way to describe a truly rotten thing. 

This episode is entirely disrespectful of all the hard earned progress Rainbow Dash has managed to make over the entire series. 

Rainbow Dash struggles with empathy, tact and manners.

But, over the course of the series we've seen her internalize hard lessons and develop something approximating increased self awareness. 

All of that apparently just went up in smoke.

Not at any point even during the first five seasons was RD ever as callous, empty hearted and irresponsible as she was portrayed as being toward her students in this episode.

It's not funny or enjoyable to watch.

More importantly, this wasn't Rainbow Dash. 

The Real Rainbow Dash wouldn't be so tone deaf to the idea of a cheer squad, no way, she'd be all for it. 

And by this point, even RD would never be so unfeeling and disinterested in something other ponies were excited about.

The Real Rainbow Dash would never pass up an opportunity to be an awesome coach.

Ashleigh Ball, why did you agree to this script?

Why didn't you protect Rainbow Dash from this Calumny?

True. Rainbow Dash is ALL ABOUT supporting every creature and wanting them to do their best!
