Having just finished reading "Friendship is Optimal" literally less than 10 minutes ago, I didn't find it dark or creepy at all. There are certain aspects of it that are suboptimal (being ponies, not wireheading), but other than that, it sounds like a great world.
Can you elaborate? Do you mean that not being able to wirehead is suboptimal?
Yes. I think wireheading is the optimal state (assuming it can make me as happy as possible). I recognize this puts me at odds with an element of the LessWrong consensus.
