I think that the real reason why Starlight Glimmer became evil and started her own cult in the first place is not because of her friend, Sunburst, who got his cutie mark and then left her behind to study at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, but because she was bullied and mistreated for being a blank flank and the fact that Sunburst was there to be her only friend and protector before he abandoned her when he found his special talent. Starlight lost a friend because of a cutie mark and she was bullied so much for being a blank flank until she decided to bully other ponies who already have cutie marks so that they would feel the same pain that she felt as a young filly. I also believed that Starlight Glimmer didn't like the fact that ponies without cutie marks were treated with such prejudice, bigotry and neglect by ponies who have cutie marks because it makes them feel more superior and a lot better than them, to the point where she decided to start a cult of her own where cutie marks are removed and replaced with equal signs so that one day she would rise up against Cutie Mark Magic and start a feud between equal marked ponies and cutie marked ponies. It's like planning to start a war between people who all look the same and the people who don't look the same. I also think that Starlight never understood equality and friendship and how they actually work to the point where she let her own feelings of confusion, loneliness and envy get the best of her. But I also think that the only reason why she was neglected by others back then is not because she was a blank flank, but because she was born with rare magic that's far more powerful than a single alicorn princess and everypony had to avoid her because Starlight Glimmer was dangerous. But hey, that's just a theory. A pony theory!
