How has Starlight changed, exactly? You know... beyond being good and being involved in a lot of lessons (because that doesn't have any value if the character doesn't learn anything from them).


 * Starlight mind-controlled her friends to pass a test - a unicorn that capable is allowed to go around unchecked with nobody not directly involved with her knowing her criminal history.


 * Starlight forcefully made the royal sisters (and the rulers of the nation) change places and do things they have never even done before, and didn't think that was bad at all.


 * Starlight led a monster to the changeling hive while the changelings were completely incapable of fighting it - let alone holding it back - hoping that one single changeling MIGHT come and save them.


 * All of Starlight's plans only work under the basis of "it worked out in the end", and she never had to suffer anything or face consequences. Whereas Trixie had to deal with the fact that she was being humiliated and her only way to earn was to work at a rock farm, and Sunset had to deal with everyone talking behind her back and not buying her redemption.


 * She came to her philosophy because a friend was better than her. That's literally her entire motivation. Like, you have to be a special kind of stupid/jealous to be triggered because someone got their cutie mark before you. This isn't sympathetic, it's just normal pathetic.


 * DHX stapled her constantly onto potentially interesting ideas and characters in the hopes people would forget how she hasn't evolved at all. I can only think of two instances where Starlight actually did or learned something, and she's been around for TWO seasons.

I think I've explained why people don't like Starlight Shimmer pretty well. Goodnight everypony.
