  1. I have an idea! Instead of whining about a horrible fanfic by a psychopath and writing hatefics in response, let's just ignore it and read something that doesn't have everyone massively out of character?
    Durabys, Derpmind, Exposure and 2 others like this.

    Someone is wrong on the internet. This must be addressed in detail. With air support.

  4. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/26651/The-Conversion-Bureau:-Not-Alone I present to you a decent conversion bureau fanfic. By the way, let's play a game. make a conversion bureau fanfic on FIMficiton, and see how long it takes for Chatoyance to pop up in your comment section and bitch about how humanity is the devil in mortal form. It's hilarious to see the shitstorms she makes
  5. That isn´t even a very thin line you are trying to tread upon.

    Unless of course the Imperium would see them as non sentient and as workforce to be used just like anything else.

    Otherwise they are xenos, evil xenos!
  6. Candid Opinion Heads, or Tails?

    The portal between worlds opened, the two races met and things went ok for a while. Then the conversion field showed up.

    Thing is, after all was said and done it turned out it was Celestia and Luna who made it, and they towards the end admitted as much. The question is, why would they do so if all it would do is unite all of humanity against them, and most certainly turn their own subjects against them?

    A united species is less likely to let in Discord than a splintered one, and one kind of disharmony (Hate by one species for another) is easier to keep from seeping out into the world than thousands of different kinds of disharmony.

    Of course, that would be more of a lovecraftian take, with Discord being a more insidious being that can sprout from anywhere, and Celestia and Luna not truly being related to Ponykind at all, yet willing to turn even their own subjects against them if it made it harder for Discord to harm said subjects. The start though would be when Celestia and Luna realize that with the new portal to another world, Discord could seep through and spread.

    To make things worse, it's a struggle over free will and species identity. Maybe swapping species changes how you think, maybe you can use your memories as a frame of reference to keep your personality the same. Yet do you choose freedom of choice and will now, and risk a fate worse than death, or do you risk losing yourself while finding a way to remove that fate worse than death? It could easily be a question by both sides: What right do they/we have to do this, do the ends justify the means?

  9. You mean it IS a pro-human
    Sorry, didn't read the fic, now that i have, I'm convinced Chatoyance took some happy pills. This is pretty funny.
  10. Now this is looking interesting. Obvious that author doesn't have that much time, microscopic updates, and yet so few of them.

    Edit.

    I dunno. I'm thinking it really just ridicules the idea of people not being fine with being ponyfied. I mean we have former 1%er who is sad he isn't physically able to go all sociopath corporate overlord on his employees, former sweatshop owner who used child slave labor, hopeless alcoholic... And they are all complaining about what they describe very happy full lives as ponies and that they all now have happy loving (pony) families.

    I'm not seeing that story doing anything else other than completely ridiculing every idea that ponification wasn't best choice available and that everyone's lives improved thanks to it.

    Cpj... Aren't you supposed to hate all Bronies with equal passion? :p

    And yeah, you're right Grdja. After getting over my initial shock and actually reading the thing, I can tell it just more of the same misanthropic donkey shit she always excretes. Which is quite sad, really. Her writing is actually quite good from a technical standpoint :(
  13. Hey, I'll still loudly repeat there is no reason to hate the fandom, the show, and the memetic ecology it created just because of some fanfiction authors have issues. Ok they got fans and followers for their misanthropic universe. So what.

    Remember.

  14. The saddest part is that i've met some of the other famed authors that werent blaze, and they were nice sensible people. they know i don't like her fandom, they were pretty cool about it. By the by, how's this for a conversion bureau universe: Takes places in Blazes verse, when Equestria appears, they find a earth with humans. And Diamond Dogs. And Zebras, Minotaurs, Donkeys, and even Equestrians. Oh and for some odd reason Celestia's been designated as a pariah.

    I sometimes wonder. How would Chatoyance react if, by some act of ROB (whole likely shares our opinions on her works), Twilight Sparkle personally expressed her utter comtempt and disgust at her portrayal of her and her friends?

    Like the Jokaero that work for the Inquisition. Like alien mercenaries from the books and background or the sanctioned xeno trait for rogue trader.

    Hate is such an ugly word. I prefer "dislike with extreme prejudice". Or I would if you assholes hadn't somehow managed to weaken my resolve enough to infect me with the P-virus too. Damn you all, and damn my fondness for fanfiction to the blackest hell. Someone, anyone, please... kill me before I can completely turn and begin spreading the infection myself...
  18. Which I am going to completely and utterly ignore :p
    (I also have never read a book where the non chaos humans used xenos 'allies' simply because they could.)
  19. i think a CB fic crossed with metal wolf chaos would be hilarious... especially with michael's special brand of "negotiating".
  20. Keep in mind I've barely had the story up a week.

    I'd also like to add that I've done some changing between drafts and cutting excess fat. I'm being pretty careful with editing because I want this to be the best story it can be.
  21. Wait wait. Its your story? You're the author? If so, please oh please for the love of love and tolerance, have Ice Breaker's words and actions be honest and not part of some ruse or ploy.
  22. This, please. Not all ponies must be TCB nutjobs!
  23. I won't give out plot details about any particular characters, of course, but I will say that even if Ice Breaker and Evening Star aren't really on humanity's side, there are other ponies that are.
  24. You know, that would be best actual deconstruction of TCB. Both reminding the reader that humans do have "better angels of their nature" (even though en masse we are/can be shortsighted viscous bunch of monkeys who like to throw poo at everyone and everything) and that Equestrian ponies are good enough people to realize just how wrong on every single level CB offensive really is. Someone bucked up somewhere. Too much arrogance and "we know best" on Twilight and Celestia's part maybe...
