[bq="cloudkicker108"] I understand that there will always be s***posts no matter what. But that doesn't mean we have to accept them without question. We can point out how immature and wrong they are, as you have with these recent Spike s***posts. Also, there are certainly characters in the show I can't stand, yet you don't see me ranting about them all the time. [/bq]
Fair enough. Just know that “getting it to stop” is the least likely result.
[bq="cloudkicker108"] I am not whiteknighting Starlight, nor am I one of her most hardcore defenders. If you want to see what that looks like, go check out MegaAnimationFan. Or any of the BP's that post pro-Starlight s***posts. I see some of the same flaws that you do with her character, and I would happily list them out to anyone who asks. Unlike you, Ijust don't force myself to always vizew her in a negative light. [/bq]
We’ll have todisagree on your stance there, because while I know there are “other cases”, you’re easily the one I’ve seen coming to argue with me _the most_ about Starlight, and that speaks volumes in and on itself. Besides…
[bq] [bq="cloudkicker108"]TWhile I applaud the sentiment, I do feel inclined to point out that I can’t recall a single instance of seeing you show up at one of those pro-Starlight shitposts to call out OP on it.[/bq]
Because to me, those aren't even worth the time to look at. I choose to just ignore them, as I also now do with most anti-Starlight s***posts. [/bq]
If you find me worth the time to argue against, but not _that_ even a bit, then it doesn’t really feel like you’re living up to what you claim.
[bq="cloudkicker108"]The problem isn't me here; the problem is that you refuse to condemn them like you have with s***posts of other characters. It's makes no sense to me why one should be denounced while the other condoned when both equally trashy. [/bq]
I don’t condemn them because I don’t mind them and most of the time, I can see where they’re coming from, so I relate to the sentiment, and that empathy just wins against the basically non-existent need I feel for defending Starlight.
[bq] [bq]Alas, taking into account some of her latest appearances, I’m starting to suspect that she’ll also play a key role in this season finale, so if you were hoping for the drama to die out, I’d advice you to get ready for disappointment.

[spoiler]The leaked synopses don't make any mention of Starlight in the finale. If she does still make an appearance, the most she could have is a supporting role.[/spoiler] [/bq]
Here’s the thing, though, and I know this is just theorizing, but hear me out.
_None_ of the leaked synopses make a reference to Chrysalis again, so what’s with all the stuff that happened in “The Mean 6”? It’s clearly building up to _something,_ but I don’t buy it that they might be leaving it for next season. Plus, whatever it is, it feels like it would be Season Finale material.
And the Finale’s summary is vague as fuck (almost like they anticipated these getting leaked and having made them as vague as possible in order to keep some sort of surprises in store for all of us), and all we know is that it apparently involves Cozy Glow in an antagonistic role (which is weird as fuck in and on itself), so it wouldn’t be _that_ out there that maybe it involves Chrysalis in some shape or form.
And if it involves Chrysalis, then that means Starlight’s gonna have a “key role” one way or another. Not to mention, because of the Cozy Glow situation, it makes me wonder if giving Starlight that part in “Mark for Effort” was actually meant to establish a connection between Starlight and Cozy ahead of time because it’s meant to play a part in whatever happens in the finale.
It’s just a theory, but one that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it turns right.
But if it is, then that’s just gonna further perpetuate the very “fun” trend of having Starlight play key roles in every Premiere/Finale since her introduction.
[bq] [bq]Either way, though, even if you’re right and I’ve got my own bias, so what? Does that make my view any less valid? Your own perspective isn’t lacking in bias either.[/bq]
The point is that for many she as already reached that milepost. So you personally not believing she has (which you are entitled to) doesn't hold much water as an argument against not condemning Starlight s***posts and Starlight hate. [/bq]
Can’t really say I care anyway.
