As would I, if she didn’t make one of THE quotes about the trope “The Right Of A Superior Species”

@redweasel  
I’d believe that, if she wasn’t an absolute dick about criticism.

@Darth Sonic  

this is why chatoyance is so brilliant, I think. she seems like a misanthrope, about how those awful evil humans need to be converted to perfect pretty ponies, but as you read the stories you start to realize that the whole thing is a deconstruction of that trope, not claiming such a thing is good, but asking whether such a thing is good and examining the consequences.
 
basically she set up a tissue thin convert-the-evil-humans scenario, then spent >9000 pages showing how that’s all a bunch of meadow muffins. she has a scary passion for humanity, actually.
 
similarly, her optimalverse story here has a truly inscrutable celestia. never in the story is it shown that what the computer is doing is good, only that it’s inevitable. you could miss that, with how much of the story talks about how uploading could be good, but there’s always that uncertainty whether what you’re getting is what could be.

Star Destroyer got into the whole Chatoyance hate thing?
 
@JDoraime  
It’s because she is evil.

@JDoraime  
Don’t even mention She who must Not be Named. You can get banned on Spacebattles, Stardestroyer, or Sufficient Velocity just for bringing her up–just MENTIONING her is enough to derail threads. The thread-derailing ability also exists on 4chan and FIMfiction, and apparently here too.

Chatoyance is a controversial author. I like her work, but unfortunately a lot of people love to make a show of hating her.

@Darth Sonic  
Ah, thanks. Haven’t heard of that one either, apart from when I looked up the tags for this pic.

@Smudge_Proof  
The Super Saiyan Grey Goo that eats the universe was only in the epilogue. Seems to have been shoved into the end there by the original author to get people to stop rooting for CelestAI. Didn’t work.
 
This is a side story, but written by a massive misanthrope known as Chatoyance. She’s most well known as the primary driving force behind the Conversion Bureau fics.

@Sandblast  
O-kay… that sounded a bit random.

@Smudge_Proof  
This is the pony matrix. But the main computer eats the whole universe via gray goop. The humans who accepted the contract to upload their mind keep their psychological quirks

Could you guys give me some context?
