Description
Updated version of a previous concept.
Starlight Glimmer forces other ponies to think like her to fit in and expects them to follow her rule without question. She is Conformity, a corruption of genuine Loyalty.
Nightmare Moon is angry that other ponies shun her night and love her sister more than her. She is Selfishness, the antithesis of Generosity.
Queen Chrysalis disguises herself as others to get close to them and drain her love to feed herself. She is Deception, the antithesis of Honesty.
King Sombra controls ponies through fear and force and seeks to conquer Equestria. He is Tyranny, the antithesis of Kindness.
Discord humiliates and manipulates other beings for his own amusement, not caring for their feelings. He is Humiliation, a corruption of Pinkie’s Laughter.
Tirek seeks to absorb all magic for himself and leave none for others. He is Anti-magic, the antithesis of Magic.

Science just feels like the odd one out in that pic
Well, in the original version of this image, Sunset was the Element of Treachery. This version was to keep it to the show villains.
Shouldn’t the opposite of Loyalty be Treachery? (Or perhaps something like Enmity, “always against” to contrast “always with”?)
That’s why I put in this clause:
Except nobody is saying Glimmer isn’t one of the good guys: Joshua is bitching because Glimmer isn’t being portrayed in a favorable light, completely ignoring the fact that both Discord and Nightmare Moon - two other antagonists who have been reformed - are also shown.
Well I don’t see thus denying that.
And I still think she represents her given element well.
Your argument is somewhat undermined by the fact Discord is on here, too.
See, this is exactly what I’m talking about.
I’m not saying Joshua isn’t an idiot, because he is, but he still happens to be right:
Starlight is one of the ‘good guys’ now, whether we like it or not (personally, I don’t because up until then, Starlight had been a genuinely interesting antagonist). As poorly executed it was, IT STILL HAPPENED, and pretending that it didn’t is being intellectually dishonest.
Since when?
It’s just Joshua being an idiot - as usual.

I’ve been busy with IRL things so I’m sorry for not being around recently, but:
Are people really STILL arguing about this?! Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I guess that’s even sadder.
@Joshua
your current filter.Okay then ;p
Point of the image is - if you wanna stretch the symbolism a bit, each major villain in the show embodies the corruption of antithesis of an Element of Harmony.
…actually… yes… that’s rather clever… well played, sir… weell plaayed…
Fine, she’s the “corruption” of Loyalty, not antithesis. Feel better?
…that’s not how loyalty works… the anthesis of loyalty would be betrail; Eg; someone who is loyal stands by their friends no matter what, while someone who is disloyal is ready to sell out their ‘friends’ at a moments notice, or betray them. Someone who conforms follows what others do, and has nothing to do with trust/betrayal.
Humiliation isn’t an opposite to Laughter either. If anything certain kinds of humor are built around humiliating someone that deserves it.
Admittedly it’s not the best word, but it the best I could think of to represent the twisted idea of “loyalty” that Starlight enforces.
Maybe Dash’s version.
Her loyalty is based mostly to her own ideals, isn’t it?
Conformity more going along with the group.
