History WellIntentionedExtremist / FanFic

* The Northern Water Tribe in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5942075/1/Reluctant-Hero Reluctant Hero]]'' tries to restore balance in the world and searches for the Avatar in order to fulfil this goal. When they find the teen, they abduct him - [[TheKindnapper while thinking they're rescuing him from the Fire Nation]] - basically imprison and force him to follow their customs, and consider wiping his memory clean from everything related to the Fire Nation in order to help him progress. Is that such a wonder that the kid escaped?

* ''Fanfic/TheLifeAndTimesOfAWinningPony'': In ''The Lunar Rebellion'', Ephor Swift Blade is essentially one such extremist who got his facts wrong. He truly, honestly believes that Celestia is a tyrant, that Nightmare Moon was a better leader who was banished unjustly and should be returned to power, and that Equestria would be genuinely better off as a Pegasus-run military dictatorship. He's wrong, of course, but even if he were right, that still doesn’t excuse [[spoiler: allying with [[BadPowersBadPeople warlocks and lunar cultists]], violently overthrowing other governments, and using BloodMagic to turn a fellow ephor into the Avatar of Nightmare Moon.]]

* ''Fanfic/SuddenContact'': The [[Franchise/{{Starcraft}} Overmind]] seeks to end the [[Franchise/MassEffect Reaper cycle]] by assimilating the entire galaxy to present a united front against the Reapers.

* According to the LemonyNarrator of [[FanFic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]], the canon version of Discord is an example of this, at least when compared to the "[[BlatantLies ultimate evil]]" of Celestia. Given she says this at the end of a chapter describing all that occurred during his Age of Chaos makes such a claim very questionable, especially when Celestia's regime doesn't seem to do anything as obviously destructive as his.

* [[Fanfic/PagesOfHarmony Pages of Harmony]] also portrays Twilight as this. All she seems to want is for Harmony to reign in Equestria.... which she plans to achieve through [[spoiler: performing torture and MindRape on her friends to extract their Elements, as well as anypony who gets in the way of her plans]].

* ''Fanfic/RainbowFactory'': The workers want to keep Cludsdale full of Rainbows, which are an important part of their society. [[spoiler:They do this by killing failed fliers, all of them children]]. Though depending on the version you are reading, there are hints that they have other reasons for [[spoiler: [[ANaziByAnyOtherName killing the "weaker" children...]]
* The ''FanFic/{{Asylum}}'' universe has Dr. Rose, Twilight's doctor who uses highly questionable methods to, but it is to make sure that no unicorn ever has to be "cured" by a Keratotomy[[note]]A procedure that lobotomizes unicorns by removing their horns and a good chunk of their brains[[/note]]. Or at least, that's what claims. Just like most thing in Asylum, it is hard to say if this is true or just a lie used to cover a much more sinister motive.
** Arguably Twilight as well, as she repeatedly uses manipulative tactics and other morally questionable actions that could harm her own friends, to try to prove herself right, but only because it's what she believes has to be done to save Equestria.

* In Fanfic/TheShroudedPath, [[spoiler: Vanitas]], the BigBad behind SilentHill, is responsible for the torture (and often death) of the people who enter the town. However, he honestly thinks he is doing the universe a favour by ridding it of those people's evil.

* In ''FanFic/ClashOfTheElements'', Joe Dark [[spoiler: THINKS]] he is one of these, but as Alex points out to him [[spoiler: after learning of his backstory]], his ends don't really justify the means.

* ''Fanfic/RainbowFactory'': The workers want to keep Cludsdale full of Rainbows, which are an important part of their society. [[spoiler:They do this by killing failed fliers, all of them children]].

* In ''FanFic/TheDilgarWar'' Supreme Warmaster Gar'shan, the saner members of the Warmaster Council (like the protagonist Jha'dur, also known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Deathwalker]]), and the Dilgar emperor are trying to save the Dilgar race from the imminent explosion of their homeworld's sun. To do so they invaded the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, with the intent of conquering a paradise planet with adequate infrastructure already present for their people and the rest of the League for their advanced technology and worlds in which their population would be able to move when they'd grow too much for a single world, and intend to kill or enslave ''and'' work to death every single inhabitant of the League to make space and have the workforce they'll need for the first period. To be fair, [[GenreSavvy they know exactly what they are]], and their plan also includes making sure the next generation of Dilgar will be better people than themselves.

* In the ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' fanfic ''A Protector's Pride'', Ichigo says this about Aizen. Ichigo claims that Aizen might have wanted to change Soul Society for the better, but he unfortunately picked up a GodComplex. Along with his inability to talk to others as equals, this led to the monster he became.

* ''Fanfic/SuddenContact'': The [[Franchise/{{Starcraft}} Overmind]] seeks to end the [[Franchise/MassEffect Reaper cycle]] by assimilating the entire galaxy to present a united front against the Reapers.

** [[LexLuthor Alexander Silversmith]] also tries to present himself as one, who does despicable deeds as part of a larger plan to make Equestria a better place. However, he's just a CorruptCorporateExecutive using it as an excuse.

* The ''WesternAmination/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' crossover fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'' (part of ''FanFic/ProjectDarkJade''), has one of these, in the backstory -- long ago, a disciple of Kandrakar, Althair the Mad Sage, led a crusade across the Known Worlds, killing thousands (especially children) in order to prevent Oracle N'ghala's vision of the "Incoming Darkness" from coming to pass.
