History RonTheDeathEater / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic

** Wallflower Blush. Although it's impossible to say that she wasn't completely wrong in erasing other people's memories without their consent, and for her petty revenge against Sunset Shimmer, many of her detractors tend to say that her problems are self-inflicted, even though this has not been suggested anywhere, and it clearly was a problem years before she found the stone. Furthermore, many conveniently forget that Equestria magic without friendship tends to cause SanitySlippage (as happened with two of the protagonists, one of them with less sympathetic reasons) and that Wallflower herself recognizes that she was the wrong person in the situation, which is a big part of what allows her to be defeated without having to turn into a monster. Many Sunset fans just choose to ignore that she is clearly a teenager with serious psychological problems finding an item of doom, and go so far as to compare her to a school shooter, even if Sunset herself had done worse things before her CharacterDevelopment.

* Twilight Sparkle received numerous fanworks bashing them over her behavior in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E6NoSecondPrances No Second Prances]]", blaming her for breaking Starlight and Trixie's friendship, questioning her morality, or calling her a hypocritical idiot for [[AesopAmnesia forgetting an aesop]] to outright demonization as a KnightTemplar. These overlook Trixie [[NotHelpingYourCase was acting like]] her HeelFaceTurn hadn't stuck ([[TookALevelInKindness unlike Starlight]]) and gloated they befriended Starlight just to one-up Twilight thus was responsible for their ensuing breakup as opposed to Twilight who's behavior [[BecomingTheMask up util that point]] was [[JerkassHasAPoint proven (half-)valid]]. Also overlooked it that as soon as they saw Trixie was [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone genuinely remorseful]] Twilight immediately and on her own accord helped them reconcile and owned up to and apologized to her prior actions.

** Once again done to Rainbow in a few "re-writes" of episodes (ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, being rewritten episodes done to favour the author's favourite ship), where she is portrayed as an abusive girlfriend to Soarin (if she's shipped with him), Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, or Pinkie Pie. Even if the author doesn't ship any of those pairings, chances are, if they hate Dash, they'll re-write "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E22HurricaneFluttershy Hurricane Fluttershy]]" to change her from a well meaning, supportive CoolBigSis to Fluttershy to a DrillSergeantNasty who purposely forces Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane just so she can break the record out of pride, not because she genuinely cares for her or anything and who abuses the sick woobiefied Thunderlane. (While RD did push Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane, she only did it because she wanted to get the water to Cloudsdale, not just because she wanted to break the record.) She also treats Tank like absolute shit having not learned her lesson from "May the best pet win" to the point you're surprised her friends haven't called the pony equivalent of PETA on her. In other re-writes like that of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E5FlightToTheFinish Flight to the Finish]]" she not only laughs at the CMC's performance, but berates Scootaloo saying that [[KickTheDog "She'll never fly in her life ever and will never amount to anything."]]
** Some fans paint Rainbow Dash as a rapist who wanted Scootaloo as her little sister so she could "corrupt" her... By raping her. Scootaloo struggles to escape but Rainbow Dash locks her in a box and uses her as her own personal sextoy. And this is played for [[BlackComedyRape laughs]]...

** The controversial scene in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E12MarksForEffort Marks for Effort]]" where Twilight accused the Cutie Mark Crusaders of (supposedly) making Cozy Glow fail her test, then banned them from the School of Friendship created a slew of {{Accusation Fic}}s about her being a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and allegedly not listening to their side of the story. This ignores the CMC had been pulling such tricks earlier this episode, Twilight banned them only after they couldn't explain what happened unbanning them as soon as she learned the truth, and quickly after her facial expression implies she regrets her act.

** Twilight's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls human]] [[AlternateSelf counterpart]] is often portrayed as MadScientist as well, and performing experiments on the Twilight from Equestria is a frequent sub-theme. This was particularly common between ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'', as she was introduced in TheStinger to the former but didn't get much characterization until the latter.

* The Anti-TCB RecursiveFanfiction of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' took the FridgeHorror about the setting and Celestia's portrayal, meant to be as benevolent as in canon, playing up the atrocities while {{flanderiz|ation}}ing Celestia into a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-expy]] tyrannical KnightTemplar. It's rare to find such works where they aren't reduced to a StrawCharacter and/or convincingly address why [[BigGood Celestia]] would act this way.

** This happens again in a few fics set after ''Secrets and Pies'' with Dashie revealing "she never liked Pinkie or her pies", cruelly attempting to murder Pinkie, and was taking advantage of her kindness to be seen as a good pony when really she's anything but. See a trend here?

** Once again done to Rainbow in a few "re-writes" of episodes, (ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, being rewritten episodes done to favour the author's favourite ship) where she is portrayed as an abusive girlfriend to Soarin (if she's shipped with him), Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, or Pinkie Pie.

** After "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E16TwentyEightPranksLater 28 Pranks Later]]", fans have given Rainbow Dash the Troll status in that she gleefully messes with her friends.

* Twilight Sparkle:

* Rainbow Dash:

* Applejack in general (and sometimes the rest of the Apple family) is often at the receiving end of every negative [[DeepSouth American-Southerner]]/[[UsefulNotes/{{Appalachia}} country-bumpkin]] stereotype imaginable. Fan works often portray her as either; a {{d|umbMuscle}}imwitted illiterate hillbilly who doesn't know anything outside of apple farming, a [[FantasticRacism racist]] redneck (especially when Zecora the resident zebra is involved), or in an incestuous relationship with either [[BrotherSisterIncest Big Macintosh]] or [[KissingCousins Braeburn]]. Or any combination of the three.
* Pinkie Pie, typically a happy-go-lucky GenkiGirl, became a target of this treatment thanks for the infamous fanfic ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'', which derails her into a psychopath who brutally murders Rainbow Dash, all while never breaking her usual façade. Many fans inspired by this fic combine it with Pinkie's mental breakdown in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne "Party Of One"]] (which aired a few weeks after ''Cupcakes'' hit the net) to make Pinkie out as an angry, depressed, knife-obsessed schizo who goes by her full name, Pinkamena Diane Pie. Perhaps worth noting that, as it originated in a TrollFic, or at least was never intended to become what it did, the success of Pinkamena points more towards something in the community than in the author.

* A lot of fanart and fics have Rarity as a [[FantasticRacism unicorn supremacist]] who calls Applejack a filthy mud pony, calls Rainbow a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain "flying fag"]] for her love of Applejack/Twilight/Fluttershy, and beats Sweetie Belle, going to take revenge for Ponyville Confidential by humiliating and shaming Sweetie. Or worst of all, molests and rapes the underage Spike.
* Princess Celestia got quite a bit of this treatment in fanon. Celestia is canonically the BigGood, who has some moments of good-natured humor, but is generally seen as wise, down-to-earth, and [[UniversallyBelovedLeader beloved by all of her subjects]]. And while she has a few moments of being a TricksterMentor and perhaps sitting on the sidelines a bit too much, Celestia herself has said that this is only because she doesn't want everyone to rely on her to solve every problem, and she believes that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre everyone is more capable than they realize of overcoming great challenges]].\\\

** Timber Spruce - despite being a canonical love interest to the Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle - does't have anywhere near the hate of Flash Sentry, still gets his own Death Eater treatment on occasion though, often as a sexual predator who has a thing for underage girls or as a "Waifu Thief" like Flash.

* Twilight Sparkle was subjected to this once more after her controversial portrayal in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E6NoSecondPrances "No Second Prances"]], where it lead some fans to ''really'' question her morality, with others outright demonizing her as a two-faced KnightTemplar who really doesn't care about friendship. Things really got bad after an even ''more'' controversial scene in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E12MarksForEffort "Marks For Effort"]] where she scolded the Cutie Mark Crusaders for (supposedly) making Cozy Glow fail her test and banned them from the School of Friendship as a result.
** {{Dark Fic}}s based around Twilight are a dime-a-dozen. It's just that easy to warp her into a WellIntentionedExtremist, a MadScientist, or even a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrant princess]]. Fimfiction has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/group/198813/tyrant-sparkle a decently sized group]] just dedicated to Twilight as a tyrant princess.

** Interestingly, Timber Spruce - despite being a canonical love interest to the Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle - does't have anywhere near the {{Hatedom}} of Flash Sentry, although he's still considered TheScrappy for other reasons. He still gets his own Death Eater treatment on occasion though, often as a sexual predator who has a thing for underage girls or as a "Waifu Thief" like Flash.

* It's incredibly easy to fall into this trap in when writing a ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' fic, whether pro or anti. The general premise is that Equestria has landed on Earth and humans must become ponies to survive the magic that's consuming Earth. While Celestia is usually the focus for derailment and thus has an entry in her own folder above, the entire universe is incredibly prone to it. Pro-TCB stories generally go out of their ways to make HumansAreTheRealMonsters and in the process ''unintentionally'' make the ponies into a fantasy version of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]], committing genocide simply out of racism and the belief that they have TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies. Anti-TCB stories make the UnfortunateImplications of regular TCB stories explicit, but rarely actually provide an actual ''explanation'' for why the ponies would suddenly decide that humanity, out of all the non-pony species they interact peacefully with, needs to be exterminated by AssimilationPlot. ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is one of the few stories to provide an explanation for the AdaptationalVillainy of both Celestia and Equestria as a whole ([[spoiler:Celestia was brainwashed by an ArtifactOfDoom called the Bag of Tirek, and used its power to cast subtle mind control spells on the populace in pursuit of Tirek's agenda]]), and part of the point of the story is contrasting Imperial Equestria with the canon version, which is utterly horrified by their counterpart and declares war against them in favor of humanity.

%% Do not uncomment out examples unless it cites a work where it happens. Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotGeneral.

* Also with Rainbow Dash, there's a disturbing amount of fan works that portray her as an abusive guardian to Scootaloo. There's also art of Rainbow Dash physically harming Scootaloo which can all be found on Derpibooru under the tag Scootabuse. Let's just say out of all the mane six, Rainbow Dash gets the worst treatment and is essentially the MLP counterpart to Ron.
%%* Once again done to Rainbow in a few "re-writes" of episodes, (exactly what it says on the tin, being rewritten episodes done to favour the author's favourite ship) where she is portrayed as an abusive girlfriend to Soarin (if she's shipped with him), Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, or Pinkie Pie. Even if the author doesn't ship any of those pairings, chances are, if they hate Dash, they'll re-write Hurricane Fluttershy to change her from a well meaning, supportive CoolBigSis to Fluttershy to a DrillSergeantNasty who purposely forces Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane just so she can break the record out of pride, not because she genuinely cares for her or anything and who abuses the sick woobiefied Thunderlane. (While RD did push Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane, she only did it because she wanted to get the water to Cloudsdale, not just because she wanted to break the record.) She also treats Tank like absolute shit having not learned her lesson from "May the best pet win" to the point you're surprised her friends haven't called the pony equivalent of PETA on her. In other re-writes like "Flight to the Finish" she not only laughs at the CMC's performance, but berates Scootaloo saying that [[KickTheDog "She'll never fly in her life ever and will never amount to anything."]].
%%* Some fans paint Rainbow Dash as a rapist who wanted Scootaloo as her little sister so she could "corrupt" her... By raping her. Scootaloo struggles to escape but Rainbow Dash locks her in a box and uses her as her own personal sextoy. And this is played for [[BlackComedyRape laughs]]...
%%* There are also fans who take her jerk moments and make them more common. Like having her be an AlphaBitch to Fluttershy and Twilight, teaming up with other pegasi and beating up other characters, abusing Soarin sexually, and the less we say about what she does to Scootaloo the better.
* After "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E16TwentyEightPranksLater 28 Pranks Later]]", fans have given Rainbow Dash the Troll status in that she gleefully messes with her friends.
%%* This happens again in a few fics set after ''Secrets and Pies'' with Dashie revealing "she never liked Pinkie or her pies", cruelly attempting to murder Pinkie, and was taking advantage of her kindness to be seen as a good pony when really she's anything but. See a trend here?
%%* On the other side of the coin, we have fans who make Rainbow Dash horribly abused by her friends who bully her, dress her up like a prisoner, and more or less treat her like garbage for no reason whatsoever. Seems like some bronies weren't fans of ''28 Pranks'' or ''Mare-Do-Well.''

* Hell, ''Pinkamena Diane Pie'' has been derailed into a bad guy! Nine times out of ten, her Pinkamena persona will be her go-to AxCrazy self (if not Meanie Pie) despite that in canon, she became so overcome with ''grief'' that her hair deflated, not anger or evil. You'll barely see any straight sad Pinkamenas outside of MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments in DarkFic. The ''Blog/AskPinkaminaDianePie'' blog helped popularize this portrayal.
%%* A lot of fanart and fics have Rarity as a [[FantasticRacism unicorn supremacist]] who calls Applejack a filthy mud pony, calls Rainbow a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain "flying fag"]] for her love of Applejack/Twilight/Fluttershy, and beats Sweetie Belle, going to take revenge for Ponyville Confidential by humiliating and shaming Sweetie. Or worst of all, molests and rapes the underage Spike.

%%* After Angel Bunny [[NeverLiveItDown slapped and kicked Fluttershy out of her house]] in "Putting Your Hoof Down", there have been a ''lot'' of fan works, both serious and silly, that treat him as being ''the'' most evil character in the setting, moreso than characters like Discord, Tirek, and Chrysalis.
%%** That's not even scratching the surface. Angel is murdered in an alternate version of Cupcakes for his "unforgivable" atrocities. Many commentators said his death was well deserved. Then we have fanworks that flanderize Angel to the point that no one can root for him anymore, and his KarmicDeath (usually at the hooves of Fluttershy) is well deserved. People deliberately either make Angel worse than he is, or just have Fluttershy abuse him to the point you don't know who to root for. And yet he has been shown to have plenty of redeeming qualities which fans either ignore or make his evil deeds worse. Why does Diamond Tiara get a pass for [[KickTheDog mocking]] Scootaloo's inability to fly, yet Angel gets treated as the devil's incarnate for just one episode?
%%* Ever since ''Rainbow Falls'', fans have been giving this treatment to Spitfire, who make her even more of a DrillSergeantNasty than she was in Wonderbolts Academy, abusing recruits, replacing fallen teammates on a regular basis, and being a generally awful pony. Despite the fact that the Friends Forever comics gave her a FreudianExcuse in that she has virtually NoSocialSkills and was raised by the military, fans still demonize her and make her a DomesticAbuser to either Soarin' or Rainbow Dash, who end up hooking up with each other and defeat the evil Spitfire with Film/{{t|hePrincessBride}}wuu [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome wuve]]. While admittedly, what she did wasn't very nice, it was a one time event, and fans ignore that and make her an abusive bitch to Rainbow Dash, and especially Soarin. If fans they demonize Rainbow Dash, they often will make Spitfire even worse to give Rainbow a FreudianExcuse.
%%* Speaking of fan favourite characters who get the death eater status, there's also Soarin who is transformed from the only consistently nice characterized Wonderbolt, reasonable authority figure, and a {{Keet}} into a DrillSergeantNasty much like Spitfire who rapes and sexually harasses Rainbow Dash, violently beats her, kills Spitfire to become Captain, plays cruel jokes on Rainbow Dash, and other really creepy things. And if he ends up with Dash, he abuses the kids. Or, they make him gay and a sex maniac who demands sex from Braeburn/Big [=MacIntosh=]/Shining Armor or whoever his significant other is, and violently assaults any mare that even ''looks'' at his man. Or they make him a vorephile who eats everything and everypony in sight. (due to his love of pies) Though it's not as common as others given his immense popularity and one of the only characterized side stallions, it still exists.
%%* Fans have begun declaring Princess Flurry Heart as one thanks in part to her role in the season six premiere, in which she nearly single handedly destroyed the Crystal Empire through her PowerIncontinence and how premieres usually have a villain involved in some way, shape, or form. This is despite the fact that she's a ''baby'' when this happens. Because of this, she also often gets depicted in artworks as turning evil or insane when she grows older.
%%* For those who don't like ''Equestria Girls'', basically all the exclusive characters (counting Sunset to a lesser degree) get the Death Eater treatment by fans who want to see them die a horrible death. Basically if you're an EQG character that's not Sunset or the Humane Six, prepare to get bashed to high heavens.
%%** A complicated case with Flash Sentry. He's considered TheScrappy by many hardcore fans simply as a "[[FanNickname Waifu Thief]]", often depicted as a cruel {{Jerkass}} or even an abusive boyfriend to Twilight and/or Sunset Shimmer, despite Flash being depicted as a genuinely NiceGuy in the canon ''Equestria Girls'' movies and shorts who only gets angry one time in ''Rainbow Rocks'' (and he was {{brainwashed|AndCrazy}} when it happened). However, there are just as many fanfics and artworks that treat him quite sympathetically as an honorable Royal Guard who genuinely loves Twilight/Sunset, partially as a backlash against said hardcore fans and their vicious over-the-top {{Demonization}} of him - both Twilight/Flash and Sunset/Flash are popular fandom ships.
%%** Interestingly, Timber Spruce - despite being a canonical love interest to the Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle - does't have anywhere near the {{Hatedom}} of Flash Sentry, although he's still considered TheScrappy for other reasons. He still gets his own Death Eater treatment on occasion though, often as a sexual predator who has a thing for underage girls or as a "Waifu Thief" like Flash.
%%** Gloriosa Daisy is often demonized for getting in the way of [=TimberLight=] (despite the fact they're, y'know, [[NoYay siblings]]) by having her transform into Gaea Everfree to destroy Canterlot High and rape the every loving crap out of Twilight both physically and {{m|indRape}}entally.
%%* Rumble gets this treatment from fans who don't accept his HeelRealization in Marks and Recreation after his brother scolds him, and make him into a reverse-Diamond Tiara where he attempts to get the CMC to lose their marks by any means necessary, and troll anyone who does have a mark. Alternatively, he makes his own brainwashed cult of Anti-Cutie Mark foals who take over Ponyville, ''ala'' Starlight Glimmer. And this was the kid who was incredibly meek in his first appearance! Damn...

[[folder:Twilight Sparkle]]
* In ''Fanfic/PagesOfHarmony'', Twilight Sparkle becomes a MadScientist, WellIntentionedExtremist VillainProtagonist who [[ColdBloodedTorture tortures and kills her friends to extract their Elements]]. She also kills anypony who [[HeKnowsTooMuch threatens to find out that she's the culprit]], claiming her actions are being done in order to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans preserve harmony so chaos doesn't taint the world anymore]]. Worst part? [[spoiler:Not only does [[TheBadGuyWins she win in the end]], but if the start of the sequel is any indication, ''we're going to see it all happen first-hand'']].
* Twilight Sparkle has her own "Cupcakes": ''The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle'', in which she tortures her friends under a very vague pretense of science, but more likely just ForTheEvulz.
* ''Fanfic/LettersFromADisgruntledFriendshipStudent'' has Twilight Sparkle as a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain homophobic, genocidal, foul-mouthed, racist pony]] who wants nothing to do with her friends and suggests Pinkie Pie become a suicide bomber in one case, or feeding Fluttershy to the dragon. And that's one of her ''tamest'' acts of evil.
* The fansong [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUMKkYOjbXk Magic Kindergarten]], loosely based on material from ''Lesson Zero'', depicts Twilight Sparkle as having turned into a psychopathic maniac due to her traumatic experiences in the titular Magic Kindergarten.
* Twilight Sparkle was subjected to this once more after her controversial portrayal in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E6NoSecondPrances "No Second Prances"]], where it lead some fans to ''really'' question her morality, with others outright demonizing her as a two-faced KnightTemplar who really doesn't care about friendship. There have been quite a few {{Accusation Fic}}s due to that episode, such as ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/327456/her-life-was-in-your-hooves Her Life Was In Your Hooves]]'' where Celestia calls her out for nearly driving Trixie to suicide.
** Things really got bad after an even ''more'' controversial scene in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E12MarksForEffort "Marks For Effort"]] where she scolded the Cutie Mark Crusaders for (supposedly) making Cozy Glow fail her test and banned them from the School of Friendship as a result. A resurgence of {{Accusation Fic}}s came about, [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/411596/marks-for-effort-twilights-reprimanding most notably one]] from infamous anti-brony Creator/DakariKingMykan where [[NoSympathy all of her friends and Celestia straight-up abandon her as a result of the incident]].
* {{Dark Fic}}s based around Twilight are a dime-a-dozen. It's just that easy to warp her into a WellIntentionedExtremist, a MadScientist, or even a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrant princess]]. Fimfiction has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/group/198813/tyrant-sparkle a decently sized group]] just dedicated to Twilight as a tyrant princess. Take ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/17548/forever-faithful Forever Faithful]]'', where Twilight dies but is able to contact the living through letters. She ends up killing her friends so that they can be with her and plans on getting Celestia next.
** Twilight's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls human]] [[AlternateSelf counterpart]] is often portrayed as MadScientist as well, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YfEiLjd3-4 performing experiments on the Twilight from Equestria]] is a frequent sub-theme. This was particularly common between ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'', as she was introduced in TheStinger to the former but didn't get much characterization until the latter.
* ''Webcomic/RecallTheTimeOfNoReturn'' [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]]. 1000 years in the future, the passing of Twilight's friends and a war has seemingly turned her into [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a cruel tyrant who murdered tens of thousands of her subjects under suspicion they were threats]]. When her friends [[TimeTravel arrive from the present]], they react to this with horror and disbelief and their DrivingQuestion is if this really is the case. As an example of Administrivia/TropesAreTools, [[spoiler:the ''subversion'' of this by revealing Twilight as an imposter]] [[BrokenBase received mixed reception]], with some feeling [[spoiler:Twilight actually turning evil would have been more a more engaging story and fixed the idiocy of no-one seriously considering this possibility until the end]].
* ''Fanfic/AnAppleSleepExperiment'' ends with Applejack being jailed for committing various murders (including [[spoiler:her own [[SiblingMurder little sister]]]]) after being given an energy potion by Twilight. The drink was supposed to keep her awake for 24 hours but instead she ''couldn't'' sleep for days on end. Eventually she began hallucinating and acting violent. It was all Twilight's fault, but Twilight forces Applejack to become the fall-guy for her. She's an important princess so there would be severe costs if ponies knew that she gave Applejack a botched potion that ended in her going on a torture spree.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
* ''Fanfic/RainbowFactory'' does this to Rainbow Dash, pictured above, who in canon is a brave, loyal JerkWithAHeartOfGold who would never abandon her friends. Rainbow Factory Dash is an AxCrazy dictator who not only oversees the deaths of failed flyers, but callously murders Scootaloo.
** There's also a non canon version where Rainbow realizes just how horrid the factory truly is, and dies protecting Scootaloo in a rare ''villain'' sacrifice. All other versions make her into the pony equivalent of [[GodwinsLaw Hitler]].
* Also with Rainbow Dash, there's a disturbing amount of fan works that portray her as an abusive guardian to Scootaloo. One in particular is ''Flying Right'', which at first seems like a typical Scootaloo learns to fly from Rainbow Dash fanfic, nothing too bad. Until we get to the "present" where we find Scootaloo has been injured very badly. By whom? Rainbow Dash of course. Then we see Scootaloo talk about not only the physical abuse she went through (smacking, spanking, and even kicks to the face), but also the mental and verbal abuse. There's also art of Rainbow Dash physically harming Scootaloo which can all be found on Derpibooru under the tag Scootabuse. There's also Pattycakes in which prior to the events, Rainbow Dash bullied both Fluttershy (being one of the bullies at Flight Camp, if the flashbacks are to be believed) and Scootaloo to the point of ''tears''. It was the author's way of erasing any sympathy the readers had for Dash [[AssholeVictim in her]] [[{{Squick}} infantile state]] and to prevent anyone from feeling sorry for this canon's RD when she was [[MindRape reprogrammed into an infant]] [[UnintentionallySympathetic (not that it prevented anyone from sympathizing with her, despite the author's greatest efforts)]]. Let's just say out of all the mane six, Rainbow Dash gets the worst treatment and is essentially the MLP counterpart to Ron.
** There's also this: https://derpibooru.org/1870813 image of Scootaloo getting spanked by Rainbow also under Scootabuse. It's pretty common to see works change Rainbow's personality from a well-meaning big sister into a bully. There's also abuse edits of Rainbow Dash screaming at her parents like this: https://derpibooru.org/2037831
%%* Once again done to Rainbow in a few "re-writes" of episodes, (exactly what it says on the tin, being rewritten episodes done to favour the author's favourite ship) where she is portrayed as an abusive girlfriend to Soarin (if she's shipped with him), Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, or Pinkie Pie. Even if the author doesn't ship any of those pairings, chances are, if they hate Dash, they'll re-write Hurricane Fluttershy to change her from a well meaning, supportive CoolBigSis to Fluttershy to a DrillSergeantNasty who purposely forces Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane just so she can break the record out of pride, not because she genuinely cares for her or anything and who abuses the sick woobiefied Thunderlane. (While RD did push Fluttershy to participate in the hurricane, she only did it because she wanted to get the water to Cloudsdale, not just because she wanted to break the record.) She also treats Tank like absolute shit having not learned her lesson from "May the best pet win" to the point you're surprised her friends haven't called the pony equivalent of PETA on her. In other re-writes like "Flight to the Finish" she not only laughs at the CMC's performance, but berates Scootaloo saying that [[KickTheDog "She'll never fly in her life ever and will never amount to anything."]].
* ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' has Rainbow Dash so obsessed with herself that all she can usually say is "Rainbow" and "Dash". She's also an abusive mother to Scootaloo.

* After "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E16TwentyEightPranksLater 28 Pranks Later]]", fans have given Rainbow Dash the Troll status in that she gleefully messes with her friends such as this Applejack picture of her putting anvils over her head: https://www.deviantart.com/rainbowbacon1/art/To-some-she-was-The-Mad-Prankster-803862976.
* We also have ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' which completely transforms Dash into a ditzy AlphaBitch who only cares about herself, loves to abuse Scootaloo, and doesn't care about Tank at all. It would seem the only Abridged Series or parody series of the series to ''not'' make her a total {{Jerkass}} is [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries The Mentally Advanced Series]], where she's ironically one of the more likeable characters despite being incredibly ditzy. And yet even in this she wants Twilight to ''hack Equestria Daily'' just so she can have [[DisproportionateRetribution revenge]] on the admin Sethisto for [[FelonyMisdemeanor only featuring her]] Rainbow Dash presents video in a Nightly Roundup when Friendship is Witchcraft gets it's own section. To be fair though in the actual story, she is still a FriendToAllChildren and an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

* There's also [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2019/1/22/1941960.jpeg this little comic]] of Rainbow and Pinkie abusing Applejack by taunting her about her mom's apparent death.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fluttershy]]
* ''Pattycakes'' inflicts this on Fluttershy, turning her from a FriendToAllLivingThings who is able to resist Discord's [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]] through IncorruptiblePurePureness into a creepy "age play" fetishist who brainwashes Rainbow Dash and her other friends into an infantile state. It also does this to the rest of Ponyville, making them completely happy to go along with it.
* Thought Fluttershy was exempt from the "canon heroine becomes utterly psychotic" trope outside of Pattycakes? Think again! A NSFW fanfic known as "Love Me" took the idea of Fluttershy craving attention first envisioned in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]" and goes as far as it can go. First, Fluttershy forces herself on Rainbow Dash, kills the "competition", and rapes the ever-loving shit out of her. Then, when Rainbow Dash, understandably scared and disgusted by her girlfriend's sudden cruelty, tries to escape, she is killed in cold blood in the process by her. ''Damn''.
* ''Butterflies'', a ''Cupcakes'' clone, depicts Fluttershy as [[CharacterExaggeration so obsessed]] with saving a rare species of butterfly that she kidnaps ponies and sews the butterfly eggs inside of them so that no predators can hurt the babies. Three guesses as to what happens [[ChestBurster when they hatch.]]
* PlayedForLaughs in the comics series ''Flutterbitch Returns'', an alternate ending to "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]". In one picture alone she trips [[WouldHurtAChild Spike]] while he's carrying glass shards and needles, tells Apple Bloom she'll never get her cutie mark and calls her a Blank Flank [[SmokingIsNotCool (while smoking no less)]], cooks Angel Bunny, chants [[FantasticRacism a racist chant to Zecora]] and worst of all, [[AndThatsTerrible takes ''two'' muffins from Derpy's stand]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rather than one like it says.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Applejack]]
Applejack in general (and sometimes the rest of the Apple family) is often at the receiving end of every negative [[DeepSouth American-Southerner]]/[[UsefulNotes/{{Appalachia}} country-bumpkin]] stereotype imaginable. Fan works often portray her as either; a {{d|umbMuscle}}imwitted illiterate hillbilly who doesn't know anything outside of apple farming, a [[FantasticRacism racist]] redneck (especially when Zecora the resident zebra is involved), or in an incestuous relationship with either [[BrotherSisterIncest Big Macintosh]] or [[KissingCousins Braeburn]]. Or any combination of the three.
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/98244/apple-corruption Apple Corruption]], Applejack and all of the Apple family (excluding Granny Smith, Apple Bloom, and Big Mac) become this. Applejack is characterized the most, and is characterized as being a stubborn, racist Jerkass whom beats Applebloom for any mistakes she makes. When Sweetie Belle has to live with her, she treats her no differently. From trying to change Sweetie's name to "Apple Belle Sweetapple", lying to Sweetie about [[spoiler:Rarity being dead]], [[spoiler:being the arsonist behind Rarity's boutique burning down]], blaming Sweetie for [[spoiler:Granny Smith's death]], to eventually, [[spoiler:trying to dehorn her and when that failed, take away her magic by making her drink a special potion and wear a cap on her horn. This treatment, along with trying to cut off her horn, would've killed Sweetie slowly and painfully.]] The rest of the Apple family gets the same characterization, especially the ones who live in Nimbuscait, where beatings and [[spoiler:the raping of fillies by priests]] are the norm. Applejack at least gets the FreudianExcuse that [[spoiler:she was raped by a priest, and her mother was burned as a heretic for being blasted with magic]], but the other Apples do not have any other excuse.
* ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/330079/1/a-hole-lot-of-tummy-trouble/zecoras-got-some-pretty-sick-medicine Zecora's Got Some Pretty Sick Medicine]]'' has Applejack being prejudiced towards anyone except ponies.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
* Pinkie Pie: Typically a happy-go-lucky GenkiGirl, the infamous fanfic ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'' derails her into a psychopath who brutally murders Rainbow Dash, all while never breaking her usual façade. Many fans inspired by this fic combine it with Pinkie's mental breakdown in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne "Party Of One"]] (which aired a few weeks after ''Cupcakes'' hit the net) to make Pinkie out as an angry, depressed, knife-obsessed schizo who goes by her full name, Pinkamena Diane Pie. Perhaps worth noting that, as it originated in a TrollFic, or at least was never intended to become what it did, the success of Pinkamena points more towards something in the community than in the author.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLNDMnj6H7k Smile HD]] portrays Pinkie as killing the rest of the [[FanNickname Mane Six]] and eventually blowing up the world.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rarity]]

* The comic ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/gavalanche/art/Rarity-s-Little-Problem-1-of-5-220173007 Rarity's Little Problem]]'' had Rarity try to kill Sweetie Belle solely to date Blueblood, who hates kids. And after Sweetie Belle accidentally burns him to death, she just sighs [[BlackComedy and asks her to get a shovel.]]
* Played for laughs in the comic series [[https://www.deviantart.com/dsana/art/Rarity-Get-Your-Sword-Part-12-781405384 Rarity get your sword]] on deviantart where she goes from a well meaning [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]] to Sweetie Belle to a deranged psycho due to Pinkie's idiocy as a lawyer, getting her convicted by Judge Luna of attempted murder of a [[ItMakesSenseInContext crustacean]] and sent to prison which she then cooks in a soup while laughing and licking a knife.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Princess Celestia]]
Princess Celestia got quite a bit of this treatment in fanon. Celestia is canonically the BigGood, who has some moments of good-natured humor, but is generally seen as wise, down-to-earth, and [[UniversallyBelovedLeader beloved by all of her subjects]]. And while she has a few moments of being a TricksterMentor and perhaps sitting on the sidelines a bit too much, Celestia herself has said that this is only because she doesn't want everyone to rely on her to solve every problem, and she believes that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre everyone is more capable than they realize of overcoming great challenges]].\\\

* ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'' depicts Celestia as a genocidal maniac who delights in making everyone else miserable, especially Twilight.
-->'''Twilight Sparkle''': I used to have this little toy named Mrs. Buzzy. She was a stuffed bumblebee. And then one day while I was having a tea party, Celestia came, and she pulled out all of Mrs. Buzzy's stuffing, and she filled her full of sliced bread, and she said, "There. Mrs. Buzzy isn't real!" And then she told me to write a 300-page essay explaining what that proved. ''And I didn't KNOW!'' *cries*
* ''WebAnimation/FriendshipIsMagicBitch'' [[PlayedForLaughs plays this for laughs]], showing Celestia banishing ponies TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNAAAA!! for the lulz.
* ''Fanfic/LettersFromADisgruntledFriendshipStudent'' has shades of this, although the reader's view of Celestia is filtered through UnreliableNarrator Twilight.
* ''[[Fanfic/TheEquestriaChronicles Legends of Equestria]]'' blames the Everfree Forest on Celestia and has her establishing a dictatorship as soon as the world is free of outside threats.
* The "Prayer Ponies" installment of ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors''. While in this story, like the others it's easier to count the number of characters who ''aren't'' completely and utterly out of character, Celestia stands out, turning into a demon and exiling [[OriginalCharacter Charity Sue]] and Twilight Sparkle to a forest full of demonic trees just for mentioning Jesus in her presence, and appears to be the BigBad of the story.
* Fanfic/TheDearSweetieBelleContinuity: While she is still portrayed as a well-meaning ruler, Celestia displays a disturbing pattern of arrogance and [[LackOfEmpathy belittling of others' concerns]] when dealing with individual ponies, from brushing off her sister's pre-Nightmare Moon insecurities, to subsequently blaming Luna's [[TeacherStudentRomance pupil/lover]] for her fall into madness (when if anything he was the victim of [[ClingyJealousGirl Luna's jealous rage]]) and trying to have him arrested, to talking down to and ''slapping'' Cadance when the latter is upset after [[spoiler:learning of Shining Armor and Luna's affair (admittedly Cadance had [[DisproportionateRetribution gone off the deep end in response]] but Celestia didn't know that yet)]] to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting Twilight drunk at Fluttershy and Big Mac's wedding reception]]. Most egregiously, in "Apple Family Secrets", she reacts to Applejack [[spoiler:[[CallingTheOldManOut calling her out for seducing a random stallion and abandoning the resulting daughter]]- ''Applejack's biological grandmother''-]] by calling her a "bumpkin" and blaming earth ponies for "saddl[ing] the rest of us with your feeble moral code" [[spoiler:(i.e. monogamy)]], and even briefly considering [[spoiler:''[[TakenForGranite turning AJ into stone]]'']] after AJ [[spoiler:threatens to blackmail her with the knowledge of the affair]]. This is portrayed as a temporary, stress-induced relapse into the darker mindset she had during Luna's banishment, but seeing this undertone of racism and arrogance is jarring all the same. Her next appearance has her back to the caring, well-meaning monarch we know, but considering she starts by [[{{Hypocrite}} castigating Luna for doing the same thing that she did and shows no regrets for]]...
* ''Fanfic/HowILostMyMother'' has Celestia cruelly banish her Four-Year Old daughter from Canterlot after stripping away her Alicorn Magic and [[UnPerson erasing everyponies' memories of her existence]] just a day before Nightmare Moon was to return, and that she is no longer considered a part of Celestias' family; [[HideTheEvidence along with hiding any and all remaining physical traces of her daughters' existence from Princess Luna afterwards.]] The reason behind all this? Celestia had experienced a prophecy foretelling that her child '''MIGHT''' destroy Equestria with her Magic, and that she didn't want to face the repercussions of [[AHouseDivided having to fight another member of her family]], and that the public would have automatically sided with Celestias' daughter [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen if the public learned the truth behind why she was banished in the first place]]. Thus setting off a slow chain of events of a SelfFulfillingProphecy as her daughter: [[GoMadFromTheIsolation spurned by loneliness and emotional neglect for years]], discovered that Celestia had the opportunity to try apologizing to her only child but instead tried to fill the space in her heart with Princess Luna and [[ReplacementGoldfish Twilight Sparkle]], and plot her retribution against her family and to destroy Equestria to reclaim her stolen Magic once again. And who exactly is Celestia's Daughter? ''[[spoiler:Cozy Glow]].''
* "Let My Ponies Go", by Aegis Shield, depicts Celestia as a cold-hearted and insane extremist who transforms five of the Mane Six into stone statues so that the Elements of Harmony will always be ready to be used against threats against Equestria, causing Twilight to go on a rampage of destruction in Canterlot a la the Plagues of Egypt in an attempt to defeat her.
* The Anti-TBC RecursiveFanfiction of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' took the FridgeHorror about the setting and Celestia's portrayal, meant to be as benevolent as in canon, playing up the atrocities while {{Flanderiz|ation}}ing Celestia into a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-expy]] tyrannical KnightTemplar. It's rare to find such works where they aren't reduced to a StrawCharacter and/or convincingly address why [[BigGood Celestia]] would act this way.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alternate Universes]]
* Played for humor early on in [[http://poniesbangbangbang-blog.tumblr.com/ PONIES!!!]], due to it being the viewpoint of Trixie passive-aggressively acting out her hostility to the Mane Six via hand puppets. Twilight is a jerk who only acknowledges her friends for a friendship report, Rarity is a drug addict, Fluttershy just seems to hate everyone and is perfectly willing to feed Angel to a [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork snake named Mr. Plissken]] and Applejack is generally abused by everyone. This was dropped as Trixie made friends and started being less hostile. It kind of comes and goes. "Twilight Sparkle" hasn't really changed over the course of the comic and has even resorted to creating friendship problems so that she can make reports and Princess Celestia is finding various ways to torture Luna. Rainbow Dash sort of stopped being a self absorbed jock after her legs broke, but Scootaloo started egging her on in hopes of fame and fortune. Rarity is trying to be better with her sister and Spike, but things like Twilight commandeering her house send her off on bits of selfishness.
* ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' does this with several characters for dark laughs. Fluttershy is the leader of an evil cult to summon the god of destruction Smooze. Twilight Sparkle has a superiority complex, abuses Spike, killed [[spoiler:Cadence]] for trying to "steal" her [[NotBloodSiblings adopted]] {{brother|SisterIncest}}, as a foal killed some of her classmates because she thought they were competition, and [[spoiler:brainwashed her brother into marrying her]]. Applejack, meanwhile, is a war criminal.
* ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'' intentionally does this to just about all of the Mane Six for [[RuleOfFunny comedic purposes]]. Applejack (or rather, Jappleack) is a violent hick who often abuses Applebloom, Pinkie Pie is a drug-addicted AttentionWhore, Rainbow Dash is a straight-up {{Jerkass}}, Fluttershy is an AxCrazy, chainsaw-happy psychopath with a penchant for {{Slasher Smile}}s (who also sounds like WesternAnimation/{{Fat Albert|AndTheCosbyKids}}), Rarity enslaves Mexicans, and Twilight Sparkle is an incompetent MadScientist. Certain of them do get some CharacterDevelopment, the "Blog/AskJappleack" Tumblr page coming to mind.
** ''Blog/AskJappleack'' actually deconstructs this trope when Jappleack [[spoiler:lands in Canon Equestria]]. Turns out that the entire .MOV universe ''is an error in reality''. None of them should even exist. Jappleack doesn't take this well.
* PlayedForLaughs in Fanfic/{{Stardust|Arad}}. VideoGame/{{XCOM|EnemyUnknown}} listens to Twilight's description of the members of the Equestrian Government, and eventually conclude that [[BigGood Princess Celestia]] and [[DarkIsNotEvil Princess Luna]] have socially engineered the population into complacency while they exercise absolute rule, and that [[PowerOfLove Princess Cadance]] is the most directly dangerous of the three. [[ConspiracyTheorist Their conclusions]] are [[DramaticIrony hilariously inaccurate]].
* It's incredibly easy to fall into this trap in when writing a ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' fic, whether pro or anti. The general premise is that Equestria has landed on Earth and humans must become ponies to survive the magic that's consuming Earth. While Celestia is usually the focus for derailment and thus has an entry in her own folder above, the entire universe is incredibly prone to it. Pro-TCB stories generally go out of their ways to make HumansAreTheRealMonsters and in the process ''unintentionally'' make the ponies into a fantasy version of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]], committing genocide simply out of racism and the belief that they have TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies. Anti-TCB stories make the UnfortunateImplications of regular TCB stories explicit, but rarely actually provide an actual ''explanation'' for why the ponies would suddenly decide that humanity, out of all the non-pony species they interact peacefully with, needs to be exterminated by AssimilationPlot. ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is one of the few stories to provide an explanation for the AdaptationalVillainy of both Celestia and Equestria as a whole ([[spoiler:Celestia was brainwashed by an ArtifactOfDoom called the Bag of Tirek, and used its power to cast subtle mind control spells on the populace in pursuit of Tirek's agenda]]), and part of the point of the story is contrasting Imperial Equestria with the canon version, which is utterly horrified by their counterpart and declares war against them in favor of humanity.

[[folder:Other Characters]]
* Prince Blueblood gets this ''a lot''. While he ''is'' a bit of a brat with an ego, he isn't the demon so many authors portray him as. It got to the point where somebody made a [[http://www.fimfiction.net/group/198/the-good-prince group]] featuring stories where this doesn't happen. To give a specific example, ''Fanfic/FrigidWindsAndBurningHearts'' turned him into a sniveling coward who got an almost-erotic charge out of persecuting [[CreatorsPet Braveheart]], and who had previously physically assaulted Luna (something the sycophantic canon Blueblood would never think of doing).
%%* After Angel Bunny [[NeverLiveItDown slapped and kicked Fluttershy out of her house]] in "Putting Your Hoof Down", there have been a ''lot'' of fan works, both serious and silly, that treat him as being ''the'' most evil character in the setting, moreso than characters like Discord, Tirek, and Chrysalis.
%%** That's not even scratching the surface. Angel is murdered in an alternate version of Cupcakes for his "unforgivable" atrocities. Many commentators said his death was well deserved. Then we have fanworks that flanderize Angel to the point that no one can root for him anymore, and his KarmicDeath (usually at the hooves of Fluttershy) is well deserved. People deliberately either make Angel worse than he is, or just have Fluttershy abuse him to the point you don't know who to root for. And yet he has been shown to have plenty of redeeming qualities which fans either ignore or make his evil deeds worse. Why does Diamond Tiara get a pass for [[KickTheDog mocking]] Scootaloo's inability to fly, yet Angel gets treated as the devil's incarnate for just one episode?
%%* Ever since ''Rainbow Falls'', fans have been giving this treatment to Spitfire, who make her even more of a DrillSergeantNasty than she was in Wonderbolts Academy, abusing recruits, replacing fallen teammates on a regular basis, and being a generally awful pony. Despite the fact that the Friends Forever comics gave her a FreudianExcuse in that she has virtually NoSocialSkills and was raised by the military, fans still demonize her and make her a DomesticAbuser to either Soarin' or Rainbow Dash, who end up hooking up with each other and defeat the evil Spitfire with Film/{{t|hePrincessBride}}wuu [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome wuve]]. While admittedly, what she did wasn't very nice, it was a one time event, and fans ignore that and make her an abusive bitch to Rainbow Dash, and especially Soarin. If fans they demonize Rainbow Dash, they often will make Spitfire even worse to give Rainbow a FreudianExcuse.
* Then of course we have ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' where Spitfire's an abusive spouse to Soarin and takes away their daughter Fleetfoot (exactly how they could have a daughter that looks about the same age as them yet still look youthful is beyond anyone's comprehension) for shits and giggles and abuses Soarin (to the the point of [[BlackComedyRape raping him]] and abuses their daughter Fleetfoot on a regular basis).
%%* Speaking of fan favourite characters who get the death eater status, there's also Soarin who is transformed from the only consistently nice characterized Wonderbolt, reasonable authority figure, and a {{Keet}} into a DrillSergeantNasty much like Spitfire who rapes and sexually harasses Rainbow Dash, violently beats her, kills Spitfire to become Captain, plays cruel jokes on Rainbow Dash, and other really creepy things. And if he ends up with Dash, he abuses the kids. Or, they make him gay and a sex maniac who demands sex from Braeburn/Big [=MacIntosh=]/Shining Armor or whoever his significant other is, and violently assaults any mare that even ''looks'' at his man. Or they make him a vorephile who eats everything and everypony in sight. (due to his love of pies) Though it's not as common as others given his immense popularity and one of the only characterized side stallions, it still exists.
%%* Fans have begun declaring Princess Flurry Heart as one thanks in part to her role in the season six premiere, in which she nearly single handedly destroyed the Crystal Empire through her PowerIncontinence and how premieres usually have a villain involved in some way, shape, or form. This is despite the fact that she's a ''baby'' when this happens. Because of this, she also often gets depicted in artworks as turning evil or insane when she grows older.
* Applejack and her family, especially Granny Smith and Apple Bloom (who will usually be InnocentlyInsensitive), are often portrayed as being homophobic and biphobic due to the fact they're Southern-inspired. This gets poked fun at in the fic ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/125693/an-apple-comes-out-of-the-cellar An Apple Comes Out Of The Cellar]]'', where not only did [[TransparentCloset everypony know Applejack was gay]] but same-gender attraction is nothing rare in their family.
%%* For those who don't like ''Equestria Girls'', basically all the exclusive characters (counting Sunset to a lesser degree) get the Death Eater treatment by fans who want to see them die a horrible death. Basically if you're an EQG character that's not Sunset or the Humane Six, prepare to get bashed to high heavens.
%%** A ZigzaggedTrope with Flash Sentry. He's considered TheScrappy by many hardcore fans simply as a "[[FanNickname Waifu Thief]]", often depicted as a cruel {{Jerkass}} or even an abusive boyfriend to Twilight and/or Sunset Shimmer, despite Flash being depicted as a genuinely NiceGuy in the canon ''Equestria Girls'' movies and shorts who only gets angry one time in ''Rainbow Rocks'' (and he was {{brainwashed|AndCrazy}} when it happened). However, there are just as many fanfics and artworks that treat him quite sympathetically as an honorable Royal Guard who genuinely loves Twilight/Sunset, partially as a backlash against said hardcore fans and their vicious over-the-top {{Demonization}} of him - both Twilight/Flash and Sunset/Flash are popular fandom ships.
%%** Interestingly, Timber Spruce - despite being a canonical love interest to the Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle - does't have anywhere near the {{Hatedom}} of Flash Sentry, although he's still considered TheScrappy for other reasons. He still gets his own Death Eater treatment on occasion though, often as a sexual predator who has a thing for underage girls or as a "Waifu Thief" like Flash.
%%** Gloriosa Daisy is often demonized for getting in the way of [=TimberLight=] (despite the fact they're, y'know, [[NoYay siblings]]) by having her transform into Gaea Everfree to destroy Canterlot High and rape the every loving crap out of Twilight both physically and {{m|indRape}}entally.
%%* Rumble gets this treatment from fans who don't accept his HeelRealization in Marks and Recreation after his brother scolds him, and make him into a reverse-Diamond Tiara where he attempts to get the CMC to lose their marks by any means necessary, and troll anyone who does have a mark. Alternatively, he makes his own brainwashed cult of Anti-Cutie Mark foals who take over Ponyville, ''ala'' Starlight Glimmer. And this was the kid who was incredibly meek in his first appearance! Damn...
* Starlight Glimmer tends to attract this trope a lot from fans who hate her. For example, ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/352115/the-friendship-test The Friendship Test]]'' and other fanfics like to make it out that her reformation [[FalseInnocenceTrick is all just an act]] so she can murder the Mane 6, and/or take over Equestria [[NiceJobBreakingItHero due to her newfound connections.]]

He still gets his own Death Eater treatment on occasion though, often as a sexual predator who has a thing for underage girls or as a "Waifu Thief" like Flash.

* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'':
** Instead of Luna becoming Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia became Corona, the Tyrant Sun. A thousand years after Luna bound Corona into the sun, ponies still don't dare be outside at noon.
** And the other main premise is that, instead of the canonical Mane Six, six ponies who were mere extras in the canon show gained the Elements and became each other's friends (Trixie Lulamoon as Element of Magic, Ditzy Doo as Element of Kindness, Lyra Heartstrings as Element of Loyalty, Carrot Top as Element of Generosity, Cherilee as Element of Laughter, and Raindrops as Element of Honesty). As a result of this, the Mane Six have all become warped versions of themselves without their friends to keep them balanced.

Princess Celestia got quite a bit of this treatment in fanon. Celestia is canonically the BigGood, who has some moments of good-natured humor, but is generally seen as wise, down-to-earth, and [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating beloved by all of her subjects]]. And while she has a few moments of being a TricksterMentor and perhaps sitting on the sidelines a bit too much, Celestia herself has said that this is only because she doesn't want everyone to rely on her to solve every problem, and she believes that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre everyone is more capable than they realize of overcoming great challenges]].\\\

* The Anti-TBC RecursiveFanfiction of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' took the FridgeHorror about the setting and Celestia's portrayal, meant to be as benevolent as in canon, playing up the atrocities while {{Flanderiz|ation}}ing Celestia into a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-expy]] tyrannical KnightTemplar. It's [[SturgeonsLaw rare to find such works]] where they aren't reduced to a StrawCharacter and/or convincingly address why [[BigGood Celestia]] would act this way.
