Line 7:
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Blaze acquired an enduring reputation as a [[Misanthrope Supreme|absolute misanthrope]] due to this story.
** The misanthropy laced first chapter is widely mistaken as being emblematic of the fic as a whole.
* [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]: The setting was well-known for the ''vicious'' fights between authors, fans and critics with regards to the messages and themes present. One faction decries the setting as disturbingly misanthropic, while the other faction fanatically defends it as an accurate representation of humanity's flawed nature.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: The primary antagonist group is the Human Liberation Front, who believes the ponies are a threat to humanity and must be destroyed. They're treated as unambiguous, totally evil villains, but ''they're completely right'' about the first part.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The spinoff fic ''Last Man Standing'' makes both the humans and ponies vastly more sympathetic than the original and treats the Purification as a necessary evil. It centers around a man who is about to get killed in said purification because he refuses to get ponified; he has to come to grips with the fact that his species is about to go extinct, and the ponies have to deal with the fact that there's absolutely nothing they can do to save him. {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|He dies triumphantly though, having managed to preserve human history with the aid of Twilight Sparkle.]]}}
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Fanon]]: JDR openly states that her version of Equestria, the Princesses, and the ponies is “more in line with Lauren Faust's original vision” than that of the show, and can get quite upset when the show deviates from her fanon.
** Comments about her most recent story, ''Around the Bend'', show that this attitude extends to episodes and setting information written by Faust herself.
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: ChatoyanceJDR rejects nearly the entirety of the show's second season. She also rejects portions of the first season. In fact, she rejects everything about the show that she dislikes, which has resulted in her re-writing more or less the entirety of the setting, characters and events.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The princesses essentially commit genocide and get away with it.
* [[Mary Suetopia]]: The ponies of Equestria live in perfect harmony with their surroundings and with each other, free of vice, prejudice, and anything that the author does not approve of.
* [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]: Chatoyance's setting has attracted most of the fights, with it being criticized as disturbingly misanthropic, misandrist, and even pro-genocide. And of the stories in that setting, three of them have attracted the majority of the controversy:
** "Ten Minutes: Aftermath" was written for a contest where the prompt was to "Write a story, or continue a story within another writer's universe." However, once it came out that the author of the original "Ten Minutes" was unaware of the existence of the story and that it was advertised in the comments page of "Ten Minutes", people saw it as less of a [[Fix Fic]] and more of a spiteful [[Take That]] to the fans of the original "Ten Minutes" paired with badly written [[Revenge Fic]] against the idea of Celestia being capable of losing.
** ''The Reasonably Adamant Down with Celestia Newfoal Society'' earned a lot of ire for portraying the Newfoals who disliked their conversion as unsympathetic, [[Fox News Liberal|complete]] [[Straw Loser|losers]]. This was quickly interpreted as [[Dear Negative Reader|mocking]] critics of the Chatoverse and TCB stories as a whole.
** "New Universe Three: The Friendship Virus" was scorned for being a [[In Name Only]] story of both MLP and the Chatoverse, its overtly sexist messages and the sympathetic portrayal of ''bioterrorism''.
