Nice to hear somebody does. If neither character had flaws, or never did anything wrong, (as you'd expect reforming former villains would) then they'd be pretty boring.
I also don't understand the increase in Discord hate lately, as I kinda like him being a morally "grey" character, or anti-hero kinda, or even a sometimes nuisance. If Discord was completely good, he wouldn't be chaotic, or Discord anymore.
And that common claim that he's "only nice to Fluttershy" (which keeps getting regurgitated repeatedly recently) isn't true either, as "What About Discord?" shows he genuinely sometimes gets along with the other characters, not to mention he has helped them in the past, befriended, and found a RPG board game hobby with Spike & Big Mac.
Even his jerkish moments like say when he teased Twilight about becoming a princess in S4's opening episodes seemed to be him secretly trying to help her by encouraging her to go to her friend's side for help. Even his li'l Q-like "tests," seem to be in trying to help Twilight.
Even in the S4 finale despite his betrayal, he genuinely showed remorse, and saddness over it, (to the point he looked as if he didn't care about being rescued) and was genuinely kind to Twilight after she showed mercy to him, and told Tirek to release him, as well.
So honestly, people tend to exaggerate how bad EVERY character is constantly, and it gets kinda old.
Heck, I still remember the S1 (Season 1) days when some fans argued that the CMC were "ruining the show."
