Not saying it wasn’t, though I don’t think it’s fair to judge a character for what they could have been if they saw competent writing. I don’t Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie because of their inconsistent characterisation, and in the same vein I don’t think we should consider Spike a good character because he could have been great
@Daneasaur
Here they clearly meant as part of the main cast. Bucks have always been secondary characters. Spike was the closest we got to a main male character in G4, and even then, Spike.

That is actually pretty condescending considering male ponies have been apart of the cast ever since the Big Brother ponies. Acting like a male pony is suddenly a new thing is a pretty stupid thing to parade around.
How hilarious would it be if they try to string up Hitch as the guy everyone is supposed to hate because he’s a “toxic male”, only for the fans to enjoy him the most.

That was the cause of the new-age writers who didn’t care about Spike to treat him like garbage and undermine his character.

He was announced with “for the first time, a male pony” in a way that made it seem like they were happy to have him
He’s a guard pony who was seen with tears in his eyes while on the job.
I’ve not seen anything to point to him not being used as the chew toy to kick around and humiliate.
From the way he was talked about, I don’t think they’ll go for that tbh
