First off, the one for \\\"Swarm Of The Century\\\" doesn\\\'t apply because I\\\'ve observed with absolute certainty that this aesop is actually kinda clueless because just because the episode goes more along the lines of learning to explain yourself properly, it doesn\\\'t make its intended moral any less relevant. Therefore, it becomes a Double Aesop, considering what occurred.
Secondly, the moral of \\\"A Friend In Deed\\\" does not explicitly come off as \\\"you can\\\'t badger people into being friends with you\\\". In light of what occurs, it\\\'s merely trial and error that helps make Cranky Doodle Pinkie Pie\\\'s friend. When you think about it hard enough, social trial and error is actually a very family-friendly philosophy in its own right.
Third, the way the events of the Season 3 finale and the Season 4 premiere are interpreted are actually very condescending at the very least. Why? Because it\\\'s never made explicitly clear that Celestia\\\'s intentions for Twilight to make friends were all part of some elaborate scheme. From what a lot of us have observed in \\\"The Cutie Mark Chronicles\\\", Twilight\\\'s destiny had already been found during her fillyhood. Furthermore, when Celestia said that it was time for Twilight to fulfill her destiny in \\\"Magical Mystery Cure\\\", it was completely different from finding it. In other words, Twilight becoming an alicorn princess was merely a contribution to her destiny, which is no more apparent than the possibility that Twilight did have interests in becoming a princess. Plus, the way some tropers on here interpret Twilight\\\'s friends\\\' friendship reports as doing her schoolwork for her is just ridiculous, mainly because Celestia never made it explicitly so. Also, the events of the season 4 premiere did not make it explicit that Twilight was gonna give up her responsibilities as a princess. Finally, while Celestia did have Twilight make friends at the beginning so that she\\\'d help turn Luna back to good, Celestia also had Twilight make friends to cure her of her relatively anti-social behavior. Fairly reasonable, if you ask me.
