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........

Lovely picture and I agree. Thanks for mentioning my posts. I'm glad they helped out some people. Also, Sunset and Starlight stuff {Friendship and forgiveness} should be more common.

Thanks! I was hoping you'd have an account here and would come across this.
And no problem on mentioning your posts. I actually had to search high and low (and in between as well) for SOMEONE to agree with me! Or at least see where I'm coming from. Thankfully I'm not alone on this matter. And hopefully season 6 will change peoples minds, like what Rainbow Rocks did with Sunset.

I knew you'd like this!   And I hope so too.
Funny thing, as you can probably guess by the description, I expected a lot of hate for this. But surprisingly, not. Thanks for the comment and fav!

Yeah, same. Maybe season 6 will save her reputation afterall.
You're very welcome.

I don't hate her either. I just think that she had rather...weak reasons for being a villain.

MegaAnimationFan In reply to EchoWing [2016-03-13 02:41:04 +0000 UTC]

Understandable. Though to be honest, I've heard weaker.
But hey, like I've said, Starlight's got nowhere to but up from here.

EchoWing In reply to MegaAnimationFan [2016-03-13 03:00:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I agree. And I'm looking forward to having her on the side of the angels from this point onwards; I like Twilight having an apprentice.

MegaAnimationFan In reply to kxp71 [2016-03-11 22:40:28 +0000 UTC]

Sure as Hell feels like it......Both reviewers/annalists AND casual viewers hate her and her backstory! Hopefully season 6 will remedy that.
But I could be wrong.....

Really, I saw no big deal about Starlight's backstory.  I mean, what WERE you guys REALLY expecting?!

MegaAnimationFan In reply to Jdailey1991 [2016-03-11 05:42:26 +0000 UTC]

You know what's funny? When I saw the premiere season 5, I took what starlight had said about "If it weren't for my magic, You'd all be spending the rest of your miserable lives thinking you're better than everyone else!" & "I gave these ponies friendships they couldn't have otherwise!", I literally said: "Wait a minute..............You were hurt way back when, probably as a child. And cutie marks had to do with it. That twisted your beliefs and motivated you make this cutie markless sanctuary and Twilight's gonna have to be the one to show you that there's another way. Thus reforming you........ That's actually kind of interesting! I hope they do that".

And lo and behold, that's what happened! I saw it coming!
