They're not the villains of the episode, that episode is about conquering self doubt, not defeating the bad guy.
But someone had to be delegated to bringing up the repressed issue Fluttershy had, and they were chosen. So when presented with a ring of ponies smiling and supporting Fluttershy, those two were the ones to laugh at her solely for not being a strong flier.

And I hate characters like that.

In Matrix's mind:

Flitter and Cloudchaser = The entirety of Decade.

EDIT: I don't think he's there yet ShockerCon.

No, no.
Decade is still worse.
Because 32 episodes of MLP isn't about those two being asshats to everyone around them and then still getting to be the hero in the end like Decade.

I'm not sure when I made it, to be honest

I just hate weak characters, and that's what they are. At least Cloudchaser had a cool design though.

Hmm, so you hate characters that prey on insecurities and "add fuel to the fire" so to speak?

They're weak. They're one dimensional. They're bullies.
And because they have a nice design, it's overlooked.

It's the difference between being a total jerk (Like Gilda or Trixie) and being a monster.

Pushing someone over and calling them a loser is just being an asshole.
Bringing up past insecurities (Even if unintentionally) by exacerbating a particular weakness just to build yourself up/break someone down is just being a terrible, terrible being.

I was about to say. His problem also seems to be with the fandom in this case. He really hates that people love them just because of their designs (I love Cloudchaser's hair) and ignore their characters. His rant said something about him hating it when people like characters with the reason of "style over substance" I used to love Cloudchaser, but ever since Matrix pointed out the fact that they're bullies...eh...
