Chancellor Neighsay

Chancellor Neighsay, or simply, Neighsay, is a male unicorn pony who first appears as the antagonist of the season eight premiere School Daze. He is the head of the Equestria Education Association, or EEA, a board of scholars who oversee all schools in Equestria.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He falsely accused Twilight of disregarding the guide book even though she was following EXACTLY what the book told her.
 * 2) His racism and bigotry nearly started an all-out World War and he NEVER got fired for that.
 * 3) His justification for his actions are extremely bland and pathetic. It felt like it was trying to give him a backstory. Starlight Glimmer had a tighter backstory than that.
 * 4) His redemption felt completely unearned, unjustified and unrealistic, as, after Cozy Glow betrayed him, he was quickly forgiven in the Season 8 finale, despite the fact that he already went too far with his racist ideals in School Daze. Redemption arcs don’t work like that.
 * 5) He serves no other purpose on the show after his redemption.
 * 6) He feels like a one-dimensional racist villain character who only serves as a plot device.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does apologize for his actions, despite it being completely unearned, as mentioned earlier.
 * 2) Maurice LaMarche does a pretty good job at voicing him.
 * 3) His design is decent and nice to look at.
