Basic misunderstanding of Hogwarts Houses.
From the author of the image or those reading it?
There’s 2 subjective filters going on here. Any individual person trying to suss out which characters should go in which House has to first give their opinion on what kind of people belong in that House, and second has to give their opinion on what each character is like.
Yes I know, there is an objective quality to both. The Houses have certain canon traits, as do the Ponies, but how an audience member interprets these traits, how they understand them, is going to vary wildly at times and they are not necessarily “wrong” for putting a certain character in a certain House. It it freely up to opinion, so long as they are sufficiently informed on how both the Characters and Houses work. It’s gonna be slightly different for everyone because WE don’t have access to a magical talking hat that knows things perfectly.
And anyway, it’s just really really silly to dislike this post merely because it has a few characters in the “wrong” House. Of course everyone is going to have slightly different views on what they think makes sense. People interpret characters slightly differently. I would change a couple characters here or there, but this image doesn’t seem absurdly off IMO.

Starlight is incredibly intelligent, hence why she heads Twilight’s school. So Ravenclaw is the perfect place for her for that reason.
I don’t agree with 85% of the sorting. For example, Why is Starlight in Ravenclaw when she is more of a Slytherin than Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle is a Ravenclaw and Apple Bloom is a Gryffindor.Scootaloo is basically a Hufflepuff. Spitfire is a Ravenclaw. How was this based on?

Ravenclaw is about wisdom, not intelligence.
Yep because of this
