I see Ruby as a fresh perspective, a new twist. Given enough time, and more character development from her perspective, I'm certain that others would be willing to accept her, as well... I couldn't see Land Before Time without her, now... Or Chomper... That's why I was surprised with the 13th movie, at first... But then, I accepted it, and THEN, of course, could hardly get enough of it...!
None can escape the inevitable changer, Time.
