Yeah, there hasn't been an episode centered on Scootaloo yet. Perhaps where she learns to fly?

Or maybe development of her family life beyond "she goes someplace when she isn't with the CMC".
Ah yeah, we don't know anything about her family either. Good point. Gosh, the writers could do so much with Scootaloo at this point, I guess. :/
I'm getting the feeling that Scootaloo's episode just might be something unexpected. Hope it's a good surprise.
She is a blank slate. Let's hope the writers manage it well.
Oh boy, you guys:
Daily Dot | Tara Strong spearheads brony campaign against Jerry Springer
I hope that the brony community listens to Tara and doesn't fall for it, but I doubt it's going to make a difference. Those shows always manage to find someone opportunistic enough.
I have to ask: Why is MLP:FiM considered a meme or a fad that will die out soon?
That is weird... not that I watch Springer... but still.
Jerry Springer's an ass. Case closed.Quote:

The main ponies have to convince this pony that earning a cutie mark and performing a special talent is a great thing that helps one find out who they are and such, and that what the cutie mark looks like doesn't matter.

Even if that plea didn't work, I'd say let him have his 15 minutes of fame and let it fly under the radar, he'll make a new flavor of the week his next show anyway and everyone will forget about it. I say bronies best defend themselves by continuing to put a good foot forward, that's more memorable so long as it's a persistent positive image. (A very optimistic hope, yes I realize, but it is one that continues to propel the fandom despite less decent parts).Quote:

Seriously, between all the internal fandom fights like shipping wars, product debates, voice debates and external fights like negative media and haters bashing with a 'you're gay/this is a children's only thing' is like early Pokemon all over again. EXACTLY. Yet these days Pokemon fandom enjoys a relative acceptance, even amongst old haters and pretty stable fanbase.
I have high hopes Ponies can turn out that way too, especially with the best dedicated fans. They'll be what keep the integrity and good side of what the fandom stands for, going.
The best advice is just to keep chugging along at your own pace with how you enjoy the show regardless of what other's say. What you do doesn't affect them so eventually they'll just get tired of complaining and move on.

The concepts for Scoots are definitely there, Faust planned for about 3 episodes worth related to Scootaloo, they just haven't been used yet. (and keep in mind at the start, everypony gets a ton of episodes planned so that '3' isn't a guarantee but a potential amount since they're all narrowed down during storyboarding)
But that doesn't mean the concepts go away, many of them can still be recycled and used for Season 3!

Anyhow referencing the vid, Scoots was originally designed as a permanently handicapped pony, unable to truly ever fly. Whether that stays in the show remains to be seen, though that kinda makes her character a bit more tragic, but one with a message of hope that she'll eventually figure out something she can accel at, even if she can't fly.
Oh wow, interesting. :o
I still think we need an episode about a pony who has no desire to get a cutie mark. I mean, it would be a neat twist to the series. It wouldn't be very predictable, as it seems like everypony who has no cutie mark wants to earn theirs. The Cutie Mark Crusaders could also have a hand in an episode like this since their quest is to earn cutie marks. This could also be what they do when that happens: help other blank flanks earn their cutie marks.
