"Now, there's nothing wrong with turning into a pony. You lose that 'human nature' that keeps you greedy and selfish, and you become more carefree and friendly."
—Twilight Sparkle
"Let [the humans] stay in that manure-hole they live in, and we'll just hang out with all of the cool new ponies comin' in!"
—Rainbow Dash
"I've seen a lot of backstories written about how Equestria is simply a post-apocalyptic Earth set in the distant future. I decided to expand on it in a much less...grimdark fashion."
"Celebrating a year of using happy, colorful ponies to advocate racial supremacism and ethnic cleansing!"
—Starman Ghost
"In my stories superior beings - truly superior beings - can do things that if a lesser being, like a human, were to do, it would indeed be evil."
—Chatoyance
"Damn it, I have absolutely NO idea who to cheer for! On one hand, we have the xenophobic racist abominations of nature that violate almost every law and convention that exists, and on the other hand, we have the Draka!"
"Sometimes a story gets written that just inspires others to create. The show itself taught us that, so it's hardly surprising that the worlds spawned from it can themselves lead to more amazing stories. The world of the Conversion Bureaus is one such."
“If you want characters to suddenly start acting out of character like this, go read a Chatoyance fic!"
Queen Celestia: There can be no peace, no compromise, no accord between Us and Them. You have seen his memories, how they poisoned their world, incited violence and murder, turned our own ponies against us!
Princess Celestia: And you have done just the same, or even worse! You have corrupted your Equestria, tainted the souls of precious ponies with cruelty and malice, and drawn two realities into a war of endless death and atrocity! Harmony, true harmony, transcends species and worlds – it is the finding of common ground despite differences, the nurturing of love between all! You would create a desolation and name it Peace! I will not allow some Tyrant rule with an iron hoof. I will not allow an entire species to die quietly and fade into the darkness. I will not stand to see the rape of innocence and innocents alike, of the peaceful being forced to take up bloody arms, and the grotesque being violated in mind, body and soul! Equestria, all of Equus, will rise against you! We will fight. We will turn this darkness away, and come to the rescue of all you have subjugated, Pony and Human, Earthborn and Equestrian alike. We will cast you down, and cast you out! In Harmony’s name, I swear it.

"I had to remind myself half way through that this wasn't made by someone who hates the show and is trying to demonize it."
—Ergo, on The Big Respawn
"Hell even Hitler can have more moral base than Xenolestia."

"Right, then, Equestria...
"If you piss off two superpowers that have been gearing up for a war for the past nearly 50 years, there's not much sympathy I can give you."

For those of you who don't know what all this is about, and probably know me mostly as "Hey! You're that guy who really likes revolvers, assault rifles, and shotguns, who almost never colors his work in and just photographs his sketches!" and/or just came to see I know you want an explanation after this one. I also know you’re wondering “Why ponies?”
See, a long time ago there was a transsexual that hated everything. She hated masculinity, she hated everyone who wasn’t pansexual, she was a total control freak, she hated humanity in general, and she hated criticism. She considered it a good thing if humanity was wiped out by aliens who created a barrier which slowly advanced across the earth, wiping away humanity and all its accomplishments. She thought it was even better if said aliens provided a way to turn humans into more of the aliens, raping the culture, identity, and history, ability to swear, hands, ability to do violence, (even in self-defense) free will, and negative emotions out of them. These aliens were the ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
I swear to God I didn’t make a word of that up.

—Doctor Fluffy, explaining why he drew a pony next to Viktor M. Kraber, one of the characters of The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum
next to Viktor M. Kraber, one of the characters of The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the SpectrumHer Majesty Princess Celestia, the Prideful self-styled Goddess of the Sun and mother of all sins who crossed the thin line between righteousness and self-righteousness.
You are the ruler who hides her hunger for power behind lies and facetious benevolence while condemning an entire race to extinction.
We have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth.
We will take your distorted desires without fail.
From
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
