If the writers decide to make starlight a princess Lily is going to have a hernia possibly literally

There is the old saying "The path to hell is paved with good intentions"

"I didn't *mean* to murder all those children! And as you can see, I'm doing my best by not accidentally murdering others! That makes everything all better!"

"Do not be sorry. Be better."

Jesus that crow person has the worst designed oc I've ever seen.

[@scarletletter4900]

Intentions don't mean shit when your actions are consistently negative.

[@ashaintheam]

There was the recent episode where Starlight just traded off Trixie's caravan without permission. She didn't even think there was anything thing wrong with what she did. What right minded person would give away someone's house without telling.

[@Argentum.19]

God this pissed me off so much, I try not to watch mlp much because starlight pretty much ruined it for me, but when I saw this was a thing I saw red.

[@shadenox8164]

Specially since she knew Trixie the owner of the wagon had been given the same offer and refused it.

[@Flutterbutt225]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU. That rubbed me the wrong way SO HARD. "BUT I HAD A HARD LIFE AND I'VE CHANGED!!" \*trades away someone's literal home and the most valuable thing that pony owns* "I WAS DOING YOU A FAVOR!!" FUCK OFF

[@jasperbriggs7591]

Here’s something that all the current villains have that make easily duped people thinking they are misunderstood individuals: they have sob stories. No one sympathized with Starlight, Tempest, or anyone else until they cried about how hard they had it and turn em into the people they are, and people EAT IT UP and label it as “nuanced”. It took the main cast a hot minute to give Trixie or Discord the benefit of the doubt and you know what they lack? A sob story to guilt people into forgiving them. Anytime the Flim Flam Brothers shows up? Twilight is instantly skeptical of the two. Questionable given she quickly forgave a cult fascist and a terrorist to the kingdom because they moped about their past.....and gave them platforms. It’s really toxic to see this especially in a children’s program. Just because someone had it rough or have past baggage doesn’t excuse their current shitty behavior. Don’t forgive terrible people because they cried about their history. If they really want to change, they just do it rather than snag your sympathy.

i haven't watched the video yet but DAMN LILY SPILL ALL OF THE TEA

[@the120cxx]

It was a cup of good intentions. A tablespoon of one big mess. A dash of overreaction And I assume you know the rest.

[@cvcvdfetghgbbhg]

Video: *Starts with a clip from good ol Firebrand* Me: *sipping tea gracefully* This gon be goooooood

[@incitossol]

Ichiro Kumasha My exact reaction.

[@interstellarbruce6429]

That crow dog thing looks like an edgy Brian Griffin.

[@mackenziewoloschuk7375]

*slams hands on table* THANK YOU!!!

[@spoopyghost2683]

I Whole heartedly believe that starlight would pull a gun on someone for knocking a cupcake out of her hands

[@itsmidnight2637]

This is the most cathartic channel on this entire website, lily is best youtuber.

[@777Rowen]

She’s a sociopath through and through. As the saying goes actions speak louder than words, and in this case this expresses how utterly insaine, overpowered, and psychotic Starlight truly is. Ever since she got redeemed, I never trusted her because she could snap at any moment. Her character is so shoehorned in that they’ve started placing her in the right making the other characters on a lower peg instead of acting like they’re actual selves. She should’ve been sent to Tartarus the moment Twilight was able to calm her down during the season 5 final instead of forgiving her. She hasn’t earned her place in the group, and should’ve been sent away immedietly. Fantastic comentary Lily. :)

[@spaceace9103]

people that like starlight remind me of those people that admire or fan girl over dangerous criminals

[@aggressiveprincess7905]

It is so sad that such an obvious idea such as this apparently isnt more universally understood.

[@prettyprincess8598]

I actually think the real problem is that half these reviewers seem to be putting the problems in mlp on the same level as like a misunderstanding causing people to grow apart when they aren't on the same level and as a result have to be dealt with differently

[@keo_bas]

this hits pretty hard. thanks for the wake up call.

[@TheBellaOfBaritone]

*"Oh look, it's the Starlight Glimmers of real life."* DAMMIT LILY! I just took a mouthful of coffee when you said that and immediately tried to avoid spraying it all over my laptop and now I'm coughing like crazy. x'D Seriously, every time you take those much-deserved jabs at people like Josh, Dr.Wolf, Silver Quill, etc, my day gets a little brighter knowing at least some people out there don't fall for their crap. Intent only matters if you learn from your mistakes, which Shartlight Glimmer does not. If you fuck up, you admit you fucked up as a starting base. She's never left that starting base and often doesn't even step up to the plate on that one.

[@MaddieAndRosannaGachaLife]

I thought I was the only one who didn’t like Starlight

[@luxi5742]

Evidence is everything

[@dwell7315]

That Kreia art though....

[@xonxt9699]

Oh, that was extremely satisfying and entertaining. As always. A more or less good summation of why I also dislike Starlight in the show (only formulated much better than I could). I mean, she's fine in some fanfics, depending on who's the author and how she's being used.

[@anonimoqualquer118]

Starlight is the character that fucked up the cartoon to me!!! Almost EVERY SINGLE villain had this godamm formula: "Ooooo I had a """"tragic past"""", so this give me the right to be a facist dictator" There are villains that are evil because they like being evil and some of them are really cool villains. Adagio is an example. Why the keep recycling this shiiit? It didn't worked with Shitligh! It won't work again 😡 That was a really good video ✌😄💕

[@arielruh7773]

Why does she deserve to be twilights apprentice again when shes this bad?

[@RingTeam]

I've never saw this video until now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also don't like Starlight. I remember I stopped watching the show in Celestial Advice, in 2017, being the episode Every little thing she does the one where the writers crossed the line. However, in 2020 I went back to finish the show, just for curiosity and, after finishing it in 2021, I'm glad that there are more people who didn't like her, which makes me glad, because the character concept of this is insane for a kids show, in the wrong way. These are my reasons to why she's the worst character in the show: -Her excessive power changes the bases of the show, especially the cutie marks, rendering them meaningless. -Her attitude, way of thinking and the things she says in the last 4 seasons conflict with her redemption arc. -The show isn't consequent to Starlight's actions. She's the most privileged and most forgiven character in the show regardless of her actions. -She's so inconsiderate and so manipulative that she's kinda like a sociopath. -And, considering these points, I don't think she's a good role model for the kids. I'm aware she has fans, but I'd bet that if they meet someone like Starlight, they would stop liking her. I'm saying this because I had a roommate for 9 months who acted like Starlight. He was horrible with everyone, he wanted to mess things up, he wanted to be rewarded for nothing... he was a dick. I'm trying not to talk too much about Starlight because she's the only fictional character that gives me anxiety. A way I have to deal with it is to make jokes. That way I'm less negative and less grumpy. I tend to be a very patient person, even more than I should. And most of the time I stand things that I don’t need to stand. But Josh Haber went way too far with Starlight. Considering that, after Cutie Re-mark, we see her manipulating her new "friends" (including Big Macintosh), the one who's supposed to be her best friend, sold Trixie's wagon even after knowing it's her only home and manipulating Twilight, Celestia and Luna, then no, I don't think she deserved that much spotlight in a show. One last thing: If explaining why Starlight doesn't work as a character is enough to set you off, then check your priorities. It's as easy as making sure the writers write a good character. If she was a good character, nobody would discuss that much about her. I like redemption themes. That's why I love Sunset Shimmer and Tempest Shadow. *But not at any cost.*

As a politics-obsessed Brit the “put up or shut up” poster with the Conservative logo made me internally squee. Absolutely no connection to the wider topic, but still 😂😂😂

[@shami5enwow]

Idk if you know about MBTI, but you should look up the difference between introverted feeling and extroverted feeling. I think you have a preference for extroverted feeling.
