My thoughts on Conversion Bureau fan fictions

[Bendy 1,821]

I think it's Conversion Bureau (but there's fan fiction similar to what I'm talking about. ) don't really like fan fictions that portray Humans as completely evil, when in truth not all Humans are evil.Both Humans and MLP FIM share world scenario: I especially hate fan fictions where the Ponies commit genocide on Humans by cutting them down to the last crying child begging for their life or turning them all into Ponies.Why would they commit genocide on Humans? (Likewise do you really think all Humans would agree with the genocide of Ponies?) Couldn't they like bring us to our knees and show mercy (or kill an evil dark lord magical Human to free us from his evil mind controlling powers to give us free will and not be mindless killers anymore) to the last refuge of Humanity, and allow them to repopulate all the while teaching them the true meaning of love and friendship in order to make Humans a more peaceful race? For I think a true representation of Ponies from the show would be merciful.Also it's likely many Humans would side with the Ponies in the war to protect them against evil Humans that want to commit genocide or enslave Ponies, so it would be likely many Humans would be killed but no where near on a genocidal level due to many Humans fighting along side the Ponies against the darker side of Humanity.Also xenophilia relationships would happen in a world with more than one sapient species, so that would add to the fact many Human and Ponies wouldn't want to outright commit genocide on one another and many, many, many other reasons.

Are you talking about actual "The Conversion Bureau" fanfic or the multitude spin-offs?

They're quite different, you know.

 

Blaze, the author of the original fic, tried to explain why Equestria was devoid of humans. He said he will do that in a 'much less grimdark' style, but he somehow opened a door to one of the most misanthropic fanfiction genres.

 

The ponies in the original fic believed that humans as a species are barbarians and should be helped. They didn't outright see that humankind is a disease should be eradicated, instead they opened a chance for humans who would like to be free of their "human old ways" to convert to their side. They never actually directly launched a full-scale propaganda as implied in the spin-offs. Blaze was more focused on "get the human who asks a new set of hooves, bring them to Equestria, done"

 

You can't blame the original fic for all those massacre written in the various spin-offs

I have not found a full version of the original fanfic but I have tried my hand as a few spin-offs. This Fic that you are reading is most likely a grimdark spin-off. Their are many grimdarks for this Fic Series but their are also the other less gory variants out there. I personally enjoy the ones with a lack of gore and promote more peaceful co-existance. Some fics are not for some people so you should look at the thousands of other HiE fic that exist.
