Equality - In our state, we're all equal here!

I think you and I have very different ideas of offense. I’ve never once taken offense over someone’s attempts to complain about things they don’t like. I take offense over stupidity, like the idea that a new character being introduced into a show is a legitimate criticism. That’s not a criticism, that entitled whining that the show isn’t bowing down to your every desire.
 
Would you like an example of criticism?  
Starlight Glimmer’s graduation feels rushed and mostly unearned. It’s very clear that she still has a lot to learn and grow as a character, even at the beginning of season seven when it happened. Yes, she stepped up and saved her friends and Equestria in the process, but literally everything else she struggled or even failed at. It’s made even more obvious looking back at season seven and seeing all the ways she still had to grow, even after her sudden graduation.  
Not only was it sudden, it was forced and unnatural. It wasn’t the result of Twilight’s impressions on the growth of her student, or even Starlight wanting to move on, it was wholly engineered by Discord to be his usual manipulative self.  
And worst of all, her graduation was meaningless. Nothing changed for her character, all it did was leave her in limbo with no new goal or motivating force for her to work towards. It is very clear looking back at S7 that her graduation should have been left for the season eight premier, as a reward for using what she learned over the last two seasons to be Twilight’s conscience and help save Stygian and the Elements.
 
That’s a criticism, it uses analyses of the characters, the writing, the stories, and how they all tie together to point out areas of weakness. It doesn’t rely on opinionated garbage that nobody in their right mind should take seriously.
 
If you don’t like Starlight because she was introduced later, good for you on having an opinion. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, but just because you have an opinion doesn’t make it a legitimate criticism.

We’re eventually going to reach a point where Starlight is in the show for more seasons than she isn’t.
 
Seasons 1-4  
No Starlight Glimmer
 
Seasons 5+  
Glimmer era.
