Description  .......I know I'm gonna get hate for this.......

I don't hate Starlight Glimmer. In fact, I kinda like her and think she has quite a bit of potential for being a very likable and compelling character. Too bad nobody else thinks so! Ok I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get what I mean. I share a very VERY minority opinion here and I've never felt so alienated in a LONG time. That's right. I feel alienated in a fandom that (on it's surface) doesn't even know the meaning of the word. It took about four years for it to happen, but it happened. I shouldn't be too shocked, but I digress.

So why don't I hate Starlight? Well, I'd tell you.
But, one: I've literally have a huge essay's worth of why, so I'm not gonna go on a litany and fill this description up with why I disagree with just about everyone on this damn planet, just for it to fall on deaf ears.
And two: three people who agree with me has explained it best.

First is this guy on FIMFiction called Evowizard25. He's a fan of Starlight Glimmer AND Sunset Shimmer. And he wrote two blogs about the subject:

Villain Redemptions and the General Hypocrisy therof
&
Why I Love Starlight Glimmer

Second is another FIMFiction person, by the name of Harmony Charmer. And She did a review of the Season 5 finale. Funny thing is, she really didn't like what they did with Starlight. But then she came across something that caused her to change her mind.

And finally we have 's video called Should Starlight Glimmer Have Been Reformed?. 

They pretty much say what I think (especially Evowizard25). I might go into more detail later either here or YouTube (Once I get a microphone) but for now, I'll just leave it at that. So please, no hate. No filling the comment section with how "WRONG" I am. And don't worry. I completely understand where people who hate her are coming from and I'm not gonna act like how the finale and Starlight was handled was flawless. But it's FAR from the worst thing the show has ever done. Hopefully those three blogs and one video will at least show you guys where I, and the few out there who agree with me are coming from.

But if you really feel obligated to complain about Starlight any further and how liking her is somehow wrong....
Well I think JonTron said it best.     

So here's Starlight feeling unbelievably bad about everything she has done and doesn't feel that she deserves forgiveness, and Twilight tries to comfort her and assure her that everything's fine now. The past is in the past and she has nowhere to go but up from here. And that she needs to forgive herself and keep moving forward. But Starlight still has doubts. And Sunset coming to visit Twilight and to an extent, meet Starlight and happens to overhear and walk in on this scene. She herself gives her own two cents on the matter and agrees with Twilght in the fact that her 'past is not today'. Starlight is still not sure about it though.........

You know what, I just might write a fanfiction around this.   

I would've finished this earlier, but the Starlight hate has been spreading like wildfire and I didn't wanna get caught up in it so I kept putting it off. But I've finally worked up the courage to finish and upload it.
With Season six comin' up soon, Hopefully I won't regret this........

So you once did understand, but not anymore; I see. But I do agree; people should give Starlight a break, she did genuinely regret her actions and sought to make amends for it.

MegaAnimationFan In reply to TCH2 [2018-06-21 21:26:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah because the more I thought about and compared it to past villains and their intentions and just how forgiving the fandom was to them, the less it made sense to me. Hell, it all seems completely backwards.  
Exactly! You'd think with that and how much she's grown that'd be enough considering some of the past villains were only half sorry (looking at you Trixie) or not even actively make amends for what they did. Seriously, was Discord's betrayal just completely forgotten? But I'm gonna stop right now before I go on yet another rant. Besides, I'm saving that for later...

TCH2 In reply to MegaAnimationFan [2018-06-21 21:37:37 +0000 UTC]

Fanbases can be full of stuff that seems backwards at times. Some just don't seem able to make up their minds; I wish they could.

Well, Discord was sorry for his betrayal and he did contribute to Tirek's defeat. But I try to avoid rants myself; just don't fancy doing it.

MegaAnimationFan In reply to TCH2 [2018-06-21 22:01:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah you're right

I know Discord was sorry and contributed to Tirek's defeat but still it's never brought up again that he by choice actively betrayed all of Equestria in front of them and he doesn't have any lingering guilt over it. Starlight on the other hand had no idea that time traveling would destroy the world, willingly stepped down even though she had the upper hand, and showed active shame and doubt for herself for half of he development and, like you said, was activity trying making amends for it. Whoops, when on a bit of a tangent there. I'm just trying to get my point across, my bad

To be honest, I do forgive her. Seriously, the hatred on anypony including Starlight is getting old. Can't we just move on and give her a chance for once? Thank Celstia I saw almost the whole entire thing of season 6 and the finale... oh my God. Queen Chrysalis was extremely terrifying. However, I'm glad that evil leader of the changelings did not get reformed.

Unfortunately, some people just don't want to move on and give her a chance. That's human nature for ya.  
And yeah that finale was awesome! And to be honest, I don't see Chrysalis reforming. But hey, the writers have pleasantly surprised me before.

ColetteClark21 In reply to MegaAnimationFan [2017-09-05 02:33:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I call human nature a mix bag but most of it is either negative or hatred (sighs)
The writers have surprised me too, but totally agree with you that the finale was amazing.

I'm one of the people who don't like her in the slightest (and that's putting it nicely ). I have a lot of reasons but I won't get into them. I don't mind that people like her though. I just feel that the finale ruined everything about her.

I'm a HUGE Sunset fan. I used to like Starlight for being an antagonist because I love antagonist characters but idk now she seems to have a bigger role than Sunset and idk about her now

Give it time. She'll come around. ^^
And besides, Sunset does in fact have a bigger role. She's the star of a movie series. Doesn't get much better than that!
