I personally have two problems with this, tho. First of, some of the way that Glimmer was presented made her seem "evil" in a similar way as Trixie but she didn't really do it out of revenge or spite but for a sympathetic reason like some of the mane six when they did bad stuff but they never seemed outright bad more like dumb. So her backstory isn't really a sufficient reason as to why she is acting the way she does especially because that scenario probably happened to a thousand other fillies and they didn't react like this. Second of, she doesn't believe in her own ideology. Glimmer seems so much more aware of everything than any other character. So while Sunset or Trixie have these incredibly stupid plans and delusions that make no sense like take over the world with an army of teenagers Glimmer actually made an ideology to take control of ponies while pretending to follow it herself and has plans that could actually work out. Villians like Tirek or Chrysalis and to some extend Sunset and Trixie seem to be evil because that's just who they are(demon, chaotic spirit or born evil). They don't know any better. Some others that show bad behaviour have backstories or implications as to why they are bad that serve as a clear and only cause. But Glimmer is neither. It looks like Glimmer is just bad because that's who she is but at the same time she has a backstory that is supposed to fully explain her behaviour but really it looks like she just decided to be bad. That makes her more like a bad person in the real world like a murder or [spoile||r]rapist[/spoiler]|| that we would want to see get punished because they deserve it. In addition to that, Sombra and Tirek were actually punished quite harshly. Trixie was corrupted by the amulet so you can't be too harsh on her.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about.
