Are Ponies born naturally evil?
I've been playing an every leader run in the minor nations of Equus, and now I'm onto the major nations and decided to start with the Crystal Ponies and as their Lunar and Solar puppets.
However as I'm reading Misty Night's description as well as the Moon Crystal Governate's focus tree, I couldn't help but realise that like many evil ponies, she's completely batshit insane.
It got me questioning what is so appealing about being Nightmare Moon's lackey, and why so many of her followers that even the softer ones want slavery, a racial caste system, and totalitarianism.
Then it got me thinking about the other races on Equus, yeah most of the Polar Bear leaders can be genocidal and unhinged, but it's only to Polar Bears and sometimes Griffins or Changelings in the lands they used to own.
Even with the Yaks, out of the three world conquering leaders they can have, Yngvar only gasses the Changelings, and Kerr isn't exactly genocidal, he's just a conquerer. However their only pony leader will mass murder half of Equus if given the chance and bring back primeval horrors.
It had me asking if Ponies are evil in heart and spirit, and they have to work to be good? Or are they just susceptible to psycopathy?
