The first Equestrian changeling during his first day.

The fuck? NO!
 
Equestria would not commit xenocide!

@Magic Man  
… They’re insects. They have a Queen. I’ll call a spade a spade. Anything else is obnoxiously hipsterish.

I don’t think they’d stop at oppression, extermination is much likelier :P

@0particle
 
Perhaps I did not put it the best way. I am not, as a rule, against it. My biggest complaint about it that puts me off is really HOW it’s done. When an established character is given a prejudice, that’s fine
 
If, in the many fanworks I’ve read and seen, this completely justified prejudice was portrayed as a “Well uh, No, I don’t particularly like them! Why in the world would I? They kidnapped me/Cadance and tried to invade Equestria!” that would be fine. But the problem is that it’s almost Never shown that way; instead, Shining, Cadance, and ponies in general are routinely utterly villainized as the one-note “ignorant, hypocritical and downright fascist and xenophobic oppressors” of the changelings, who are unendingly victimized as the “poor, woobie innocents who can do no wrong and the Big, Bad World is always oppressing. Chrysalis is the nicest of them all.”
 
If a fanfic or the show went down the route of say How To Train Your Dragon where the prejudice was also completely justified and understandable and if Cadance, Shining or the ponies in general aren’t vilified like how Stoick and the other Vikings weren’t, that’d be fine and I’d totally be behind it.

@Magic Man
 
Kay first.
 
Shining and Cadance cannot be insulted because they do not exist, and being racist or whatever does not make someone a worse character, just a more fleshed-out one.
 
Second, I can’t think of one reason why those two wouldn’t have every right to believe Changelings are nothing but always-chaotic-evil pony-orcs that the world would be better off without. They’ve made a terrible first impression and when they got thrown out, everything was instantly better. That’s not racism, that’s logic.

I wanna hug it ^^

@amess  
I suppose I can understand it in that sense.
 
Though if there’s one thing I’d just to point out, I’ve never been a huge fan of the whole “hive” thing, more of a “Changeling Kingdom” fan. I’d definitely like the idea of changelings leaving their kingdom to come live in Equestria.

@Magic Man  
We’ll though we don’t know all context he was a pretty big snob to Rarity and also I said “blatant” not “violent”.
 
I actually use him in one of what I call my “head fics” which are basically partial stories I make for my own amusement but am to lazy to ever actually finish. Basically a renegade changeling that ended up well aquatinted with Twilight is asked to attended the next Gala in his native form as one of her escorts to try and counter the negative image other hive escapees may in counter, at some point he ends up on his own and over hears Blue Blood talking to another about how he can’t believe his Aunt actually invited some of those “cockroaches” to the gathering. The changeling who is already a rather timid and insecure as well as socially anxious ends up rather hurt but “Momlestia” soon comes to the rescue and literally takes him under her wing for the rest of the night. After that he fully accepts her as his new queen and assorted feels are had.
 
So I don’t really figure him as a villain except maybe if you count the level of such as Gilda, Diamond Tiara, Lightning Dust and so fourth.

@0particle  
I actually think that’d be pretty insulting to to their characters by turning these very nice ponies into evil, murderous hyper-racists. I can see them having a perfectly good reason not to trust changelings, but when you consider their good canon personalities, I can’t picture them turning into the worst kinds of violent racists.
 
@amess  
That’s only because fans love to villainize him for whatever reason they can.
 
Also, I just want to point out, we honestly have no real context for what’s going on here.

@amess
 
And the sad part is, I’m sure Cadance and Shining turned out even worse. No one in Canterlot has literally ANY reason to believe that changelings could be capable of goodness, or even feelings.

@amess
 
@PonyPon  
Well, they hurt his family. That makes it kind of personal.

@amess  
Could you blame him?

I always figured Blue Blood would be one of those that turns blatantly racist after the Canterlot attack.
