Random Rant About TCB

For me, I think, the worst part of Chatoyance's stories is that the ponies are constantly lauded as a moral authority, despite not really having free will.
I don't know if it's just me, but I am of the firm opinion that morality is dependent on a choice, if there is no choice between good and evil, then there is no morality. The ponies in her stories (except the princess, more on that in a moment) cannot choose, and thus are amoral. Morality simply doesn't exist for them, it doesn't apply to beings that cannot choose.
There is one catch, the few ponies that do have the capacity to choose have been lauded as divine figures, and according to Chatoyance herself, are exempt from pesky mortal concerns like morality by virtue of being alicorns, thus justifying genocide.
In Code Majeste, the protagonist is transformed into an alicorn, and more importantly, retains the capacity for evil actions. Celestia, of course kills her, (I presume, I didn't actually make it past the fifth or sixth chapter, I literally got nauseous. That's right, it literally made me sick.) I assume for the same reason she kills humanity.
In her stories, we are the only species that can be good or evil other than the gods themselves. Pardon me, morality doesn't apply to alicorns, for some unexplained reason. (This of course means that killing the protagonist of Code Majeste was an act of deicide by another god.)
So yeah, "moral choice is bad" seems to be the message of her works. It's either that, or "Worship the Almighty Thomas Hobbes Princess Celestia, the Dictator of Tomania, the Conqueror of Austerlich, and the future Emperor of the World!"
