"Glimmer forces the suspension of disbelief by having her somehow not get things that people should know of their own accord"


 
She struggles with skills that are seemingly inherent for everyone else because she literally lacks them. The entire point of her reformation is that her worldview was completely reconstructed by Twilight and that she's starting entirely from scratch.


 
"forcibly abuse people"


 
While she did forcibly change ponies' viewpoints, Starlight never openly abused anyone. She was always of the (misguided) belief that her actions were improving the lives of others and that she was doing the right thing.


 
"her """arc""" consists of jack shit compared to Sunset"


 
It's funny you say that, considering Sunset's reformation was even faster than Starlight's. By the time the second EQG movie (Rainbow Rocks) rolled around, all the mannerisms and quirks from Sunset's past identity were gone.


 
"She made friends with Trixie and hit a throne with a rock"


 
Becoming friends with Trixie was a major step for her, as Trixie was the first true friend she had made on her own since childhood. Did you even watch the season 6 finale? Her attempting to destroy the Chrysalis' throne with a rock was meant to be comedic relief. What actually mattered was everything that occured before and what took place immediately after. It was only because of her quick thinking that she and her team of meccentrisfic characters were able to save the mane 7 and others from imminent danger and defend Equestria from a major threat.


 
"Glimmerfans are so funny in their pitiful attempts to bash Sunset and save face for their low quality waifu"


 
I hope you realize those individuals are simply an overzealous minority. Most Starlight Glimmer fans (myself included) see merits in both characters. When we do express our distaste for her (or Starlight, for that matter), we have legitimate reasons for our feelings; we don't push one character down just for the sake of propping up another. Also, "low quality waifu" is more of an opinion than any sort of proof that we're supposedly terrible people.
