Description

A lot of people call her a SJW, but when I first saw Cutie Map, I was relieved to discover that this is not true.

“From each according to her ability, to each according to her needs”, well, what you mentioned even mirrors that some parts of capitalism also promises like this but fails to deliver as well.
 
Starlight’s town is much like Stalin’s, claiming about equality but it’s about sameness, turning into more like what communism actually swore to destroy, “the elite system” which is the main target from capitalism to be destroyed by the past communists.

But… Starlight is not a communist… She’s a facist.  
Correct me if I’m wrong but communism is about “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”, so it’s like regular Equestria, where everyone have their talent that they use for the good of society. Regular Equestria is a true place of equality  
Starlight’s town wasn’t about equality, it was about sameness. Everybody looked the same, acted the same, no one was different from another, like robots.  
Again, correct me if I’m wrong.

Only if you have zero understanding of Marxist class analysis and think that “communism” means “‘Harrison Bergeron’”.

>’‘Starlight Glimmer is a communist that acted like a SJW while going full Communist. Which makes sense since communism and ‘‘SJWism’’ are leftist ideologies’’  
>Nazism is just a rightist as capitalism  
oh now i guess capitalism=nazism and viceversa now?

Starlight Glimmer is proof that the fandom doesn’t actually have a concept of what is and isn’t quality when it comes to OCs, and the monkeys yelling “This OC is shit” “This OC is overpowered!” “This OC is a Mary Sue!” are just making mouth noises.
 
Now that I’ve got your triggering out of the way: Starlight Glimmer is a communist that acted like a SJW while going full Communist. Which makes sense, since Communism and SJWism are leftist ideologies.

Then again I blame shitty writing for spawning the whole thing in the first place, it was like, how many grossly misrepresentative stereotypes can you fit into two episodes?
 
?????
 
How can you be “misrepresentative”If you’re not even representing anything? I don’t understand your logic.
Background Pony #CCEE
It fills me with burning rage whenever Starlight is said to be ‘communist’ or somesorts, because that’s even more BS than the SJW interpretation. All it does is show how little one knows about either. Then again I blame shitty writing for spawning the whole thing in the first place, it was like, how many grossly misrepresentative stereotypes can you fit into two episodes?

@orochijes  
Maybe I should clarify. The imagery on the left side isn’t just about Starlight, herself, but also the show’s reaction to her. That is to say, I expected Cutie Map to be essentially a strawman of SJW-ism (not that they need one) getting a reduntant, heavy-handed verbal beat-down with fedora’d right-lib rhetoric from the main six. This is a big reason why I was intensely satisfied with her telling Twilight to shove her sermon on friendship up her ass. There are some more subtle aspects to this image as well, but I don’t think anyone cares.

Or it specifically sent them there as soon as it could to make sure she didn’t become too powerful.
 
 
@Tumblr Feminism Is A joke  
But they got the “I’m doing good and I’m an activist even though none of my actions are helping anyone and I’ll get angry if you question my status as a do gooder” part at least.
 
This is not unique to the SJWs. Few people are willing to believe they are the villain, after all.
