Fluffy Pony Thread: Firstest Thwead of The Day Edition
Kickoff topic: Hugbox, Sadbox, Weirdbox or Abuse?
I'm a man who likes his ultraviolence
That being said I've got more than just abuse if anyone out there wants some
I had a dream with this awesome fluffy abuse idea
This made had a shitton of babies
Like two and a half boxfulls somehow
She said she needed food for "miwkies" and the owner made her eat half a box of them and asked if he should go on
And the other guy was like "Nah, just let her know if she ever acts out of line again you won't go so easy on her"
Or it was because she did a bad poopies idk
Oh also at another point they put tiny fluffies into closed play dough containers while they tried to make a litter box
So basically they shat in an enclosed area where there was barely enough breathing food as it is
>they put tiny fluffies into closed play dough containers
Not a half bad idea
I'll save Mommy and baby!!
Thanks
This is the kinda shit that makes me low-key wish fluffies were real
I'll take you to a safe place, away from sadistic perverts
I'll take you away from sick monsters.
I'll save Mommy and her sweet babies!
Hugs and sketties, milkies and luvs!
I'm right there with ya
man i wish i had a dream about fluffies. i'm always dreaming about zombies murdering people
My dreams are all over the place lol
Also have you ever became a zombie yourself in those?
Nice trips
yes, and then i am the one murdering people or other zombies. it's like a bad action film adaption of a mediocre video game.
Lmao reminds me of Murder Miners or like you said, any other mediocre video game
This made me laugh so damn hard when I first saw it
Trail ends here guys
I gotta run but I hope you enjoyed the show
That was unexpected
I did
Also bye have a nice day
Good god I hate this artist
Terrible looking fluffies and hellgremlin bullshit makes for a bad combo
Nightly Yea Forums fap material
>Nightly
Boy you've got a fucked time zone
who else used this shit
Rip thwead
Moar? So easy to hate.
That goes against the point user...
Kys
Idk why I'm surprised it's a scam
wtf is that bozdo thing?
Wish there was more to do in this fandom. Maybe I should make a table top rpg game or something.
this guy makes the best fluffy comics
What countries do you think will outright ban fluffy abuse? I am placing my bets on Canada
there won't be any countries left by then. what companies would ban fluffies, is the question you should ask. what companies are on good terms with hasbio?
Lol this isn't the first of today, the first reached the image limit.
Good to have another one though.
You are sad, sick evil genius and I love you. No homo.
Just to appease this hugboxer... I'll post some hugbox...
Shut the flying fuck up no we won't.
I don't get it.
I mean, I understand torturing and killing them when they behave like ultra spoiled cunts or disgusting bastards, but abuse for the sake of it?
They already are disgusting bastards, they are artificial insults to nature
what the fuck is this retarded shit
toddler furries?
The best part of this image is is that pink fluffy is an alicorn, so not only does the litterpal have to endure a lifetime of agony and despair, it also has to watch a "munstah fwuffy" have all the love and joy it so desperately wants.
Just that one small detail makes this image so much bettter by tenfold.
You lot are a bunch of sick cunts and should kill yourselves
Welcome to Yea Forums
This rabbit hole goes deeper then you can imagine.
welcome to new Yea Forums
old Yea Forums wasn't like this.
old Yea Forums actually had a point.
I remember seeing this when brony shit basically died out
I never understood its purpose or what people even get out of it
Which one is the one where these creatures suffer immensely due to their own stupidity and surprising survivability? (I mean... they routinely have legs torn off and survive and shit so... surprising survivability)
Old Yea Forums was literally just all about harassing and bullying people for their cringey videos that everyone made during that time to the point of suicide.
I think some cartoon fun may be a bit better, just a tad.
Pillow fluffies.
Nice read user
>old Yea Forums wasn't like this.
>He doesn't 'remember' the Desu shit
Newfag Yea Forums has always being weird.
desu~ desu~ desu~
GIGA PUDDI!
oh god, that was almost as bad as the banana
desu. giga pudding. caturday. loic.
>implying you know shit about old Yea Forums
Fuck off summerfag
this is Yea Forums. of course we're sick cunts and should be slaughtered wholesale.
You have to go back. I don't know where but it clearly isn't here.
Yes, we are aren't we.
If I controlled the entirety of the fandom it would be like 25% hugbox, 70% these loving adorable creatures suffering in the wild due to their own idiocy and 5% smarties getting just fucked right up because they try to fuck with humans or 1v1 a barb wire fence.
I think it need some work
wild survival is always good
This thread's still up? Hell yeah!
Why the fuck not? We do shit like this to each orher all the time. Nothing bad about it.
Unprovoked abuse is the best the fuck are you on about
It should have drowned the moment it even saw the water, or is that not a fluffy pony thing anymore?
Na'ah bro. I just can't get behind it. I know people like it, but it just seems entirely pointless to me. I enjoy the stories where the universe is uncaring and merciless in its truths, rather than where there's an active actor that's a sadist.
It's not in a lot of the canon anymore. It's been more like "Fluffies are fucking stupid around water and don't understand drowning".
We created them, everything about them is of our design, none of it is their fault.
Doing sick shit to each other *is* bad. In fluffy fiction we're the monsters, and fluffy ponies the hapless victims who suffer meaninglessly*.
*except for smarties. Smarty abuse is hilarious.
If anything there'd be a lot of ethics debates on what to do with them since they're both invasively aggressive as a species, but also possess low level sentience so most of the UN countries, EU, etc would be all in.
I'm expecting Ukraine and Russia would just not give two shits and the little shits that made it into the zone would result in some interesting mutations.
The last of my Hamon, my final Emerald Splash, my last post for tonight.
In real life they'd be a hopelessly ineffective invasive species. Unless placed in an environment where food was abundant, and there were no dangers or predators, because fluffies die so easily and are next to incapable of finding food (they can live off garbage, but all you'd to do is secure the bins and they'd quickly starve).
The main issue I can see is fluffies escaping from or being abandoned by irresponsible owners, helping to spread disease on the streets and harassing passers-by.
They're also vectors and incubators for disease - if their immune systems are so bad at just existing, imagine the next strain of MRSA that evolves in them.
If anything, governments groups would recognize them as a danger to the general safety of everything and probably pay some folks to gather them all up aggressively and just cull them all as a biohazard. Like the BSAA in resident evil, but against weird mini-horses.
Well, unless you're trying to treat them, there's no reason why MRSA should have any selective advantage over regular SA.
I'm sure veterinarian services would inevitably pop up for these things. It's got a face, it talks, and possesses self awareness. Plenty of groups would start waving the 'fluffy sentience' flag.
Bump
I agree. Some people may not like that but if there's one thing I've seen, it's the public really won't tolerate animal abuse.
Which is why I'm sure if they were considered a public nuisance they'd probably pay bounties per ear or something on them for killing them. That and they'd find humane ways of disposing of them en masse and recycling the biowaste given how poorly their digestive systems function in creating so much feces.
Yeah they'd thrive in a lot of Asian cities considering how poorly kept they are.
The sheer amount of stray dogs and cats and other higher order predators that would be able to feed on them, in addition to the actual humans there would probably keep them fairly well contained as an oddity rather than a widespread nuisance.
If fluffies are born and bred in non-english speaking countries, will the fluffies learn local language or are they only capable of baby-English?
stupid fluffy
That's a good question
Well unabashed sadism is half the point. You fet a chance t indulge your inner asshole.
The fluffy's are hard coded with the English language but I am sure other variants for different regions have different languages depending on how complex said language is.
Are they hard coded for English? I think it makes more sense if the language centers of their brain are just ridiculously overdeveloped.
Besides, you cannot "hard code" something to understand language. That's something no living creature on Earth has managed to do.
It's lore I read up on although lore is very loose and differs from person to person.
A lot of the "lore" is either sumb or not set in stone to begin with. It's both a blessing qnd a curse
>Stray dogs and cats
This brings up an excellent point that never gets addressed: if fluffies proliferated everywhere then prefators would experience a population boom, alongside prey species that the predators would usually be killing.
I've always thought of fluffies as basically tribbles. If they're ready to breed in under a week, and can eat anything to survive... well, there's gonna be a tonne of them.
I only ever wrote one fluffy pone story. Had ideas, but just never got around to them.
How is it not sentient? I've been in this fandom a long time and its all just good fun. However if fluffies were in our world, I don't think abuse would be nearly as wide-spread as it is in a lot of the fluffy stories and pictures. Humans for the most part aren't complete monsters. Just like MOST people don't harm dogs or cats, MOST people probably wouldn't harm fluffies. I mean they fucking TALK for fucks sake. That's huge man. So now not only is your abuse victim a living being, but they are actively conveying to you in ENGLISH for you to stop whatever harmful thing you're doing to them. Would you abuse something like that? No. Unless you're a sociopath.
Well don't be afraid to share
Well, I'm arguing from the lore perspective that they're considered to be bio-toys or simply sentient organic matter that was created artificially. Which is where we're at now - is a Turing complete AI deserving of all the rights and etc afforded to organic beings?
In the larger scale argument, since the fluffies are quick to achieve sentience, they're afforded the same rights but cannot co-exist in the same scale. In fact because of their sentience it's considered criminal to own one on an uneven power scale, it'd be basically slavery.
That said, if they're majorly contributing to the downfall of every ecosystem you'd have to decide the balance between ethnic cleansing of artificial sentient lifeforms and watching the world burn.
>In fact because of their sentience it's considered criminal to own one on an uneven power scale, it'd be basically slavery.
You know thats something that has never crossed my mind. I guess my rebuttal to that would be that the fluffies enjoying being pets. They enjoy human interaction, i mean it was they were made for essentially. It is however still a good point, but not one thought off by the fandom because i mean most like abuse so the very notion that they could have ANY kinds of rights is laughable to them.
Fuck off, bot. Trying to enjoy some fluffy discourse over here.
They're only considered "biotoys" because HasBio had them legally declared as such to exploit a loophole in the law, otherwise they'd have been done for releasing an invasive species.
In canon I think "biotoy" is used by bored pet shop staff, or abusers who have to justify it to themselves or other humans. Most normal people just regard them as noisy difficult pets.
a personal favorte. I love Schafer Araks
>Besides, you cannot "hard code" something to understand language. That's something no living creature on Earth has managed to do.
I see it as genetically imprinting certain phrases, much like birds learn certain complex songs, and many animals quickly pick up how to communicate verbally. The only difference is that fluffy communication is directly understandable by humans.
Was there ever an ending to that set of comments where the damn things owner gets home?
nope
holy fuck. i'm high. I mean comics.
fluff me up, fagets
I do remember there being an ending but I can't find it. The end is where he get rewarded with sghettis
litterpals and poopie babehs, s'il vous-plait
classic
Enfies too, if you got 'em.
That's why you're not in control incel
Litterpals are weird. What kind of crazed mind comes up with this? What kind of person would buy it? I can certainly see HasBio denying any involvement in the matter.
That said, one of my preferred storylines is when one fluffy is a dick to a litterpal, and they end up exchanging places. Or maybe being a litterpal is a temporary punishment (especially for smarties).
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the function of a litter-pal?
to eat shit and clean the buts of fluffys
Doesn't the litter pal shitting defeat the idea of having someone eat the other fluffies' shit?
Or is it an added layer of cruelty to rob the litter pal of any sense of purpose?
It's either to lick clean the anus of another fluffy, or to actually eat all the shit (to prevent a messy litterbox). Usually the litterpal is there because it's unlucky and got bad colours, sometimes it's being punished. The box is often sealed so mess goes in, doesn't go out. The litterpal is kept hungry to encourage it to eat the shit. They don't usually last long (2-3 weeks at most before dying either of malnutrition, infection, or just because it's sitting in its own recycled shit unable to move).
Sometimes the litterpal is also an enfiepal, because being stuck in a small box eating shit and being continually raped by horny fluffies is twice as awful.
I see. How terrible and hilarious. Thank you all for the knowledge.
That poopie baby in the corner is living it up
Yes.
The whole litter-pal thing is deeply disturbing, thankfully it only happens in a fictional setting where it becomes funny in a twisted sort of way.
Everything about fluffys is disturbing.
Ja
Oh my god that tapping the blue one's doing drives me up the fucking wall
I enrolled in a multi course class in bioengineering for the sole purpose of creating a real fluffy. I start this fall.
It all started as a way to troll the mlp fags who would flood any board they could with pony porn. Then it took on a life of its own.
Live the dream and don't get arrested user
I much prefer the survival stories, or fluffies suffering due to their own incompetence.
My "explanation" from this is that, when the fluffies were released, so was a subtle but contagious disease that crippled everyone's empathy.
But just for fluffies? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Okay, bear with me.
Researchers wanted to see if they could stop fluffies from complaining about abuse and agitating when their little friends are beaten to death with a shovel.
Work on a disease that kills empathy for anything that talks in a high voice.
It uses a COX-2 gene as an identifier and fluffies had enough human DNA for the disease to "jump" to humans.
The infected are trying to sublimate their desire to kill children by relentlessly torturing fluffies. It's how society survives.
i'd say i mostly agree with this. though cut hug box down to twenty and give that to the psychos who rip a fluffy in half and sodomize it's babies.just cause it hasn't been properly taught to be potty trained and it's still in the process of learning.
This, they would spread like rodents, roaches, or cane toads. They will outcompete and destroy the entire ecosystem simply by endlessly churning out offspring.
They'd be bad, but the environment would cull their numbers pretty well. They are poorly adapted. Leather hooves, fur like a chinchilla, the intelligence of a two or three year old whth few instincts, high nutritional requirements, serious problems with arrogance and empathy and a disposition towards killing baby's with naturally camo colors. They can't get wet otherwise the stay wet forever, their feet can't handle asphalt or gravel, they like bright colors for baby's that stick out, the also have poor self preservation instincts, regularly picking fights with larger animals or failing to hide. They would persist, but likely not thrive to the point of being an ecological disaster
Their bright colors would give them blanket immunity though. The same way most biological creatures avoid any snake, caterpillar, or amphibian with bright colors. Due to the few species that use bright colors as a warning of how toxic or venomous they are. So the narcissistic cunts that favor their more colorful foals are actually doing them a favor.
After all, they have those traits genetically programmed into them, which means the DNA had to come from somewhere. Which means it was copied from a species that successfully used mimicry of venomous and toxic species well enough to survive and evolve until its DNA was unique enough to stand out and be harvested for research purposes.
I dunno man it all sounds perfectly logical in my head but is a nightmare to try and type out in a coherent manner.
Somebody get the chart out
Ha
The "poopie baby" shit was dumber than pig shit from the beginning
Cancerous tbh
In regards to snakes, bugs and amphibians, I agree, but mammals (which a fluffy is a mammal) are predisposed to plain or patterned colors and in Northern climates the genetic knowledge of bright colors=danger isn't really present. Dogs will also literally go after anything because they base a lot of their decisions on smell and dogs would likely be their largest predator, at least for adult fluffies. Large birds are secondam and cats third in regards to foals. Again, though, predators aren't their biggest problem. Exposure is. Lack of any propriate food and poor weather would kill more than any predator, compounded on the fact that they regularly kill their foals cause of colors and stupidity.
Agreed, but it hasn't lost any favor in the Fandom.
I like Foals in the garbage and misbehaved fluffies that get kicked out of their house for insolence and misbehavior.
Too many of them need half asses excuses
I just ignore it. Anything with color discrimination I just tab out
Idk, I kinda enjoy these casually racist retards running around and getting themselves killed. I'm not so strong on the abuse as the little shits doing themselves in like the one withe the fluffy that can't get to shelter cause he wrapped around the tree.
>foals in the garbage
i love the idea of finding an abandoned foal, kidnapping it and bringing it home to torture.
>torture
You mean raise to adulthood in a super comfy way, letting it get pregnant then set loose in your fenced-in backyard just as fall is approaching and bring home a new foal just as winter hits, continuing the cycle. The last panel is a cut to the fluffy escaping as the fist snow hits to end up in another fenced in area with fluffy skeletons everywhere.
fucking CHIRP CHIRP PEEP PEEP!!
Foals piss me off.
>muh racism
Hang yourself
Can you see the gook hat?
This one here is probably my favorite.
why go to threads you dont like?
Abandoned like this.
Or this.
The idea of a "biotoy" is actually the most cyberpunk thing I can think of - this weird future where they genetically engineered an animal to demand maximum sympathy and yet never have the self-consciousness to work en masse to demand better rights for themselves as a race has to be the most transhuman thing I've heard of in a while.
Right, the whole fluffy/pony fandom opened a pandora's box of ethics questions with the creation of an artificially sentient AND organic creature that demands a closer analysis if it were ever done in a real world setting. If you treat them like lower order sentient mammals that are considered pests (Coyotes, Rats, etc) you'd have free reign to kill the fuck out of them for ruining your stuff - but because they have the ability to communicate effectively and have rudimentary forms of culture (They dance, they form social families and larger herds, they recognize authority) you're forced to sit down and see where the line is drawn.
>you're forced to sit down and see where the line is drawn.
Or don't draw one at all
Which makes for a chaotic mess of a response as people do as they please, when they please
That's the cyberpunk answer. My new theory is that these creatures could only exist in a post-cyberpunk/transhuman universe where corporation states govern and ethics and morals are outmoded concepts.
Sorryboxes are neat too. Like, no real abuse other than ignoring, gaslighting and uncomfortable standing for long periods.
Fluffies are their own worst enemy due to needing love, hugs, affection, etc.. So stories that have a Fluffy in a group being singled out, not necessarily for being a smarty or mean mummah for absconding her poopeh babbehs, but any that would be otherwise happy with their lot in life, being forced to stand for long periods of time or in the dark.
Sublime abuse.
I like the stories where it's the miserable life of a pillowfluff. Or a fluffy missing their back legs and then a front one has to be amputated.
Long-form tragedy from neglect rather than straight up abuse, that's my deal.
You know what would make a sorry box better? Blare loud music in there to shake up the bastards. Just grab a copy of The Downward Spiral or Broken and you'd be good to go.
Alternatively, forgo the sorry box entirely and force the fluffy to watch a real horror film. A Nightmare on Elm Street would keep them awake for days.
That is good too, like you have sibling fluffies. Both raised well and then you diverge by pillowing one and keep spoiling the other while ignoring the pillowed fluff.
I do find the concept of smell stations to keep pillowed fluffs sane, to be an interesting trope. Maybe switch out a few for some rank items, to keep them guessing or not trusting the smell station due to surprise foul smells.
Yeah, giving them a fright from otherwise normal horror movies and then messing with them for months after the movie is over to give them nightmares or keep them up at night. Forcing them to hallucinate and not know reality from their skewed imagination due to insomnia.
12 FUCKING HOURS
>12 F U C K I N G H O U R
That's not happened for a long long time, 2013 I think
I like the feral stories where it's endless struggle and just before everything goes right, tragedy strikes. A mother losing her foal(s) just days before winter ends or she gets adopted off the street, a foal just barely surviving the death of the mother, finding a wonderful garden full of veggies only to get picked off by a hawk moments after the first bite etc.
There's some stuff on the booru that's about something similar - Bozdo. I can't seem to find a real explanation on it, but it's like lovecraftian horror for fluffies.
Def. Some movies would be more effective than others though. A movie like Halloween has a lot of suspense, but it'll unnerve more humans than fluffies.
Something gory, violent, or chaotic the whole way through (or close to it) would really shake the fuckers up.
Something like gremlins wor chuck would be solid.
youtube /watch?v=w-AsH_ngaY0
huh.
When these threads happen they tend to have a bit of steam
Just a reminder: every fluffy deserves death, as painful as possible.
Those that die less painful deaths got off lucky, which is more or less fine.
Those who murder other fluffies are the only okay fluffies. A quick death is only slightly less than what they deserve.
does this mean smarties are actually the best fluffies
easily one the most retarded things ever written on Yea Forums, congratulations
The other weird thing is that they're somehow preprogrammed to like spaghetti, usually served with tomato sauce. That's a higher order food and just absolutely strange to be their default sustenance. Some form of naturally occurring fruit would've been a little more natural, but that's just something that's a nitpicky bother.
And I had to go up against a man wearing diapers who stands up for imaginary horses.
I had stiff competition.
Nah. Total hugboxer here. Wuv fwuffies. And smarties getting their comeuppance, brutally or otherwise.
I believe this was inspired by a story of a hoarder, or maybe it inspired the story, either way an interesting take of unintentional abuse by a human who is worse off than any feral fluffy left to the elements.
user, bruh. They don't exist bruh.
They're not real
I'll indulge this. Why?
Like, smarties aside the existence of fluffies would result in basically wading through a carpet of obnoxious, demanding shitdonkeys who want nothing but to get you to take care of their every need in exchange for now demanding that their wants also be taken care of.
just like cats
most dogs too
I mean, so do I. We're still talking about stuff that's just smart enough to be super manipulative and is basically just looking to get its every demand granted by you.
Here's your life after one of these fuckers: Either you spend every day hearing something demanding to breed or you quickly accumulate an entire breeding, shitting army of worthless shitrats ruining every moment of piece or quiets you otherwise weren't getting with just the one.
Or, alternatively, you get to spend time with a loving pet who can verbally express it's gratitude for you loving it, and you get enjoy helping it raise a family.
Glass half full, man.
a glass half full is still enough for a fluffy to drown in
Does it really love you, or is it just programmed to talk that way? It'll tell you it loves lamp if the lamp gives it treats and is warm to hug.
At least with the things we keep as pets now you earn their trust and love and it's a symbiotic relationship that's time proven.
>programmed
Too much talk, not enough fluffies
Hey man, it's in the lore. If by some leap of genetic editing and high level imprinting they can do that with a sentient creature, I'm rolling with it to ask the question.
>it's in the lore
that means jack shit
we've seen most of these pictures already, I think a little talking, generating new ideas is healthy
Then what's your actual issue with the question?
You've got a relatively unintelligent creature whose natural instincts are to immediately tell whoever will give them good things that they love them. Isn't that just part of a survival instinct rather than a show of genuine affection? If you pull the string on a child's doll and it says "i love you" is that as legitimate as developing a relationship with a pet who is incapable of expressing it in an understandable language?
Dude, who wouldn't love a lamp that gave out treats and was pleasant to hug? That sounds awesome.
Regardless, I have a question for you: I get that you hate fluffies, that's fine. But why do you want everybody else to?
>You've got a relatively unintelligent creature whose natural instincts are to immediately tell whoever will give them good things that they love them. Isn't that just part of a survival instinct rather than a show of genuine affection?
I hate to tell you this but "genuine affection" is a survival instinct. It does not actually exist in a demonstrable way.
Anyone remember macro fluffies?
Oh no, I'm not one of the fluffy haters, I'm the guy that's sitting around wanting to ask ethical questions about the existence of fluffies. c.f. that fluffies, in the form we see in the fandom, can only exist in a cyberpunk universe. I'm fairly neutral to the idea of them - I find the people and the people's reaction to them fascinating.
Biological theory tends towards that, yes, but in the discussion of the topic altruism and affection exist on a higher order in sentient creatures. It's a theme in certain speculative fiction to question the suchness and truth of the idea. I just find using this fandom as a crux for asking the question is an interesting exercise.
yeah
'twas not the best concept but points for trying
Got anything with puffy griffins? Preferably about preying on fluffy ponies.
Apologies. I thought you were the other user.
>in the discussion of the topic altruism and affection exist on a higher order in sentient creatures
Not sure if I believe that
You know what I think? Fluffies are just cute, cuddly, dumb, helpless and friendly versions of people. I keep thinking to myself "good fucking God, everyone around me keeps acting as shallow as a fucking fluffy pony". I loathe interacting with people because of how absurdly cookie cutter most of them are. I'm starting to seriously question if individuality even exists anymore (or ever did) because so many people think the same way, act the same way, and live the same way. That's why I like abuse man. I keep thinking to myself that these stupid fucking shitrats are what I hate in human beings, just in a different way than the autistic hellgremlin fans.
I got off track there but you said you wanted to understand people's reactions to fluffies. I made as good a case as I could.
Thanks for a thought out reply - I can see where you're coming from. I've certainly been in that position before, but my issue is that it's a fallacy if statistics hold true and a majority of people have the same opinion. It's certainly a common internet opinion that "most" people are shallow, bullshit and not worth interacting with, especially here on Yea Forums, but if that's the case then it's a fallacy like saying "a town where everybody is above average".
I can understand the fascination and stress relieving properties of fluffies, I guess where I'm getting misread in my lines of questioning is that I wanted to push the whole existence of fluffies into a universe like ones laid out in cyberpunk/transhumanist timelines in speculative fiction since they involve a fair number of the basic questions that asimov asked about robots and Philip K Dick did with "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" and all that. I just haven't been getting a lot of traction in my questions since nobody really gives a shit about thinking about them that way.
Based post
Everyone knows fluffies are just yukkuris for english speakers.
I do see where you're coming from. I've actually thought about it a lot myself. If robots were real, would it be ethical to torture to them? Really the example that keeps coming to mind though is Jurassic Park. It's never dealt with in any of the movies (thus far) or the spinoff titles, but the dinosaurs of JP are in the same exact grey area as fluffies. They aren't real animals, this was established from the very begging. The thing is though, the humans in JP don't take this as a blank check to, say, gut a triceratops infant in front of its mother, or plaster a brachiosaur with napalm, or blast out a Spinosaurus's brains out with an anti-tank gun. And Dinosaurs are a hell of a lot more dangerous than shitrats.
Yeah, this Fandom isn't really that deep, though some of the best work is. I've seen occasional good pieces that delve into religion and morality, the meaning of life and happiness and how family strengthens the individual as well. They are hard to find, buried beneath sadism and degeneracy (not saying pieces exploring those topics are inherently bad, just that they are common in this Fandom). I like stuff like that, there just isn't much of it.
fuck off /b has been cancer since post 1
Yeah, but the dinosaurs (beyond the island) weren't a terribly successful invasive but annoying species. They were public enemy number one once they made it to an area where people actually lived. It didn't seem like anybody in the universe was super aware of their existence beyond the island but there were still humanitarian ethics questions in some of the films that got overshadowed by the central plot.
I think the concept of fluffies that makes them a little more poignant is that they're sentient (like )
and that in itself makes the question of eliminating them as an invasive species more difficult since they don't have mass negotiation to make sure they don't contribute negatively to the planet's ecology.
Yeah, and I think it's kind of a shame since the authors of the really good ones, or even just the ones with half decent art and long running arcs, are long gone.
>Yeah, but the dinosaurs (beyond the island) weren't a terribly successful invasive but annoying species. They were public enemy number one once they made it to an area where people actually lived.

True, but I don't think the franchise explored these questions nearly as much as they should have. I doubt they will do much of that in the future.
>Yeah, and I think it's kind of a shame since the authors of the really good ones, or even just the ones with half decent art and long running arcs, are long gone.
I think some of us need to step up to the plate. God knows we can't be our predecessors but we can at least give it our best shot
I demand Nine Inch Nails and KMFDM only.
Yeah, I'm sure the book version of it all actually dealt with a lot more of the literature centric questions.
I for one don't draw and don't bother reading most of the fluffy written fiction - I'm just here for the transhuman ethics questions. Especially the implication in the background universe that a corporation has a biological research wing that could create something like these without that much effort. I feel like the rest of the actual universe has to be equally fucked in some way.
does anyone have hugbox examples?
>Yeah, I'm sure the book version of it all actually dealt with a lot more of the literature centric questions.
It did and it didn't at the same time. The book version of JP (spoilers!) had all the dinos get napalmed and nerve gassed at the end since they've been deemed too dangerous to leave alive. The book didn't really dive into the ethics or morality of the action much.

Well "equally fucked" can mean a lot of things. I wrote a story not too long ago about fluffies getting made in WWI era Germany and they're used as walking mines at first, then when that idea falls through they're just comfort animals from then on. I didn't really touch on a lot of ethical questions that much (I was having too much fun writing gratuitous violence) but at one point a couple of characters have an almost meta level conversation about the nature of fluffies and their place in the world.
Here you go
You know, I'd be down for a near future trans-human fluff punk story. Hasbio corpo sec guy trying to track down one of the released specimens because it's carrying the last implemented set of genetic markers for higher order intelligence and they don't want it to breed with a specific color of alicorn the use as an index marker to activate it in the children for proper speech or whatever.
Man that'd take some serious writing chops to pull off
To be honest the central storyline wouldn't even be fluffy centric, it'd have to be the human drama and how the central characters react to the fluffies. And then the fallout of the enhanced fluff children being comprehensibly sentient would be - because therein would be the issues.
Background organizations that exist for artificial lifeforms, like a PETA derivative that focuses entirely on artificially created life. Bio-ethics committees, the turing police, a nascent stochastic learning network that's also near sentience, all the good mix of questions of what it means to be sentient and the right of the things to exist if only by majority vote or if the value of a creature is inherent to its ability to think.
But you're right, way more work than I want to put into writing something for this particular topic
