Benevolent Tyrantlestia?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else believe/like the idea of a benevolent Tyrantlestia? As in, a Tyrantlestia who truly cares for her subjects, does not kill/torture all the time, and is not heartless, but nonetheless engages in censorship, harsher laws, and the occasional propaganda?

 

I myself could see the idea in canon.

Isn't that Celestia is by default. We all ready know she keeps information secret from the masses like NMM being real, the secret of Discord's statue (aka its really him :P) , The fate of the Crystal Empire, The Tree of Harmony. Also her edict forbading ponies entering the Everfree.

Please, do not use the work tyrant. She does not fit the definition of tyrant: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrant

 

Particularly the more modern definition...

Keeping in mind most of the abov take place a 1000 or more years in the past, at best falling to myth and legend and at worst forgotten completely as time passes.

Two, would many believe her in many of the points above? Whether Discord, Nightmare Moon, or the Cyrstal Empire and King Sombra. More do most ponies need to know? Nightmare Moon felt into legend, Discord was believed to be trap forever and could be said to be just a statue, the Crutal Empire was believed lost.

 

Also, it was not any laws that kept ponies from entering the Ecerfree Forest but superstition and fear

Though "Benevolent Tyrant" seems to be a bit of an oxymoron.
 

Agree, I doubt that it's going to be called tyrant.

And Celestia is not a tyrant, more like Imperor, but not a tyrant.

Even if she fits a little to definition.
