Whether or not she's openly or secretly genocidal is not the issue. The fact that she's genocidal AT ALL is the issue. This is the woman who gave DISCORD a second chance, and his crimes were far worse than anything Chrysalis, Papilon or any Changeling has done. And yet you expect us to belief that she would cold-bloodedly murder an unarmed diplomat purely out of racial spite.

What have we seen Discord do?

We saw him distort the land and alter the actions and perceptions of ponies.  He’s a spirit of chaos.  It’s his thing.  That was all that we saw during the flashback to Celestia and Luna’s confrontation with him, and the only indication that Discord’s actions had ever done any harm was in the stained glass window depicting him.  One that Celestia has in her castle.  There is bias in this.  It doesn’t make Discord benevolent, but it doesn’t make him violent.

As for his reform, that Celestia requested the Mane Six to see to it, that she wanted Discord reformed means that she either wanted him in a different state, or needed him for one purpose or another.

Such is not the case with changelings, especially not in Papi’s canon.  In the show’s canon we have seen changelings capture, impersonate and enslave ponies.  We saw them make a direct assault on Canterlot.  We had verbal threats that Celestia’s subjects were going to be used and consumed.  Discord altered the world through magic, but never caused harm to a pony that we have seen.  Chrysalis disabled Celestia and imprisoned her, captured and imprisoned Cadence for goodness knows how long, or with what supplies left for her survival, and staged a fullscale assault on the ponies’ political center.

That is just modern changelings, and that is just in the show’s canon.  Papi’s canon goes further on that subject.  Things have not always been as they were with Chrysalis, and the original changelings that Celestia would have first encountered and come to know have not been shown.  I’ve said it on here, and in the blog, changelings developed the capacity to eat love for a reason.  They are always hungry, and can/will eat most everything.

This ‘chapter’ in the blog is not the end point, it is just the beginning to a new chapter.  There are a lot of things that have not been shown involving changelings, Papi, Celestia, etc.

I don’t want to sound rude, but the fact of the matter is that you don’t know what changelings have done in the past that could warrant Celestia’s actions in the present, but believe me when I say that such hatred is justified.

Have patience, and bear with what you don’t like in the characterization or stop following if that alone is enough to sway you.  I have my reasons for portraying characters as I do, and those reasons will be shown and explained in their time.  If you can’t wait, and instead want me to simply spell everything out, then I’m sorry but I won’t be appeasing your wishes on this matter.
