To you maybe but to others the idea of being swarmed by technicolor talking horse creatures begging/demanding food, hugs and homes would really be unpleasant. Combine that with all the shit, destroyed vegetation in the park and the inevitable outbreak of fleas, ticks and other parasites. All you need is one outbreak of Lyme disease and it’s game over for them.
Well, he appears in a lot of my stories. He’s kind of an important person in my headcanon. But he would be important, seeing as he’s the strongest human alive.

I’ll give you a hint, a nice easy one: it’s right at the top of the humanoids section of my character bios.

And now I’m going to commit the awful sin of replying to my own post, but I didn’t want to add to that ridiculously long post.
There can be good reasons why fluffies are treated so horribly. The obvious one is the fall of Cleveland–if that is part of your headcanon, then it makes sense that abusers would be pre-eminent and hugboxers would have to guard their pets carefully. But it would be good, from a storytelling perspective, to give some thought to how Cleveland fell. Even a few hundred thousand fluffies shouldn’t be able to leave a city in flames–unless something else was going on. I favor the “fluffies break the laws of physics”, but “it was a cover for thieves” or “it was a terrorist attack” are also excellent choices. But by figuring that out, even if you never mention it in a story, you add depth to your headcanon.
As I’ve said before, I don’t oppose abuse–I laughed at the fluffy used as a flower vase, tbh. I oppose sloppy abuse. Sloppy hugbox is fine, because hey, cute wee pig hamsters. But sloppy abuse is just irritating.

In my headcanon, the Fall of Cleveland happened. I went with the “Rupert Murdoch plotting to replace fluffies with fuzzies” thing, but added another element: a former Hasbio employee who thought fluffies were a bad idea to begin with and wanted them all gone. And that asshole just kept trying after Cleveland. Murdoch was just a pawn to him.
So the fluffies genuinely weren’t to blame for what happened. They were victims, not accomplices.
And personally, I object to the idea of discriminating against an entire group of sentient lifeforms just because some of them played a part in a horrible disaster.
I mean, we’ve seen people in real life apply that same logic to other real life people, haven’t we? I would name some specific examples, but I don’t want to open that can of worms.
What? No its not. Amd they don’t seem to be begging based on the picture
This is awesome! Can you imagine the endorphin rush of being hugged by dozen adorable fluffies at once? I am adopting this to my headcanons immediately!

Oh, I can’t think of a version of the FoC where the fluffies were to blame, per se. Either it was a tragic accident or arranged by humans, but the fluffies were just there for skettiland.
But the thing is, if fluffies in large enough numbers can destroy a city, then humans will set out to exterminate them, as a matter of practicality if nothing else.
The lack of culpability helps explain why fluffies are still legal to own post FoC, but the lack of legal protections outside of the home is also understandable.
Curious side note, in such a universe, safe rooms would exist not just to protect the fluffy from itself, but also from abusers.

Yeah, but it was humans who caused the Fall of Cleveland. If Spaghetti Land hadn’t been built, it wouldn’t have happened. The fluffies are just scapegoats.
And in my headcanon, there’s a lot of things protecting fluffies from abusers. Like that person I mentioned, and his friends.
A major theme of my stories is “What if there are beings who see humans the same way humans see fluffies?” And another theme is mercy, and who deserves it. Someone who shows no mercy to those weaker than them can hardly complain when someone stronger than them shows up and denies them mercy. If someone only sees fluffies as vermin to be slaughtered, they’re in no position to object when, say, a vampire sees humans as nothing but cattle to be fed upon.

I keep looking at this and the mare just plopped on her side feeding her foals. Like imagine just eating and some little creature pulls out her pee soaked vag and saggy tits to feed these runts.
nah I think it’s cute actually but my brain is just loving and hating this scene.
This is probably a solid idea. Fluffies appearing in public places may have various outcomes based on headcanon, but it seems realistic that they could be protected by social manners. After all, ripping up a fluffy at the church picnic probably is an REAL awkward chat over lunch.

“In local news, earlier today a man at the park, who was later confirmed to be a war veteran being treated for PTSD, grusomely killed a feral herd of fluffies that had surrounded him to beg for food. Witnesses say he went completely berserk killing all of the fluffies, and the police were forced to incapacitate him with tasers.”

“His victims being only fluffies with no other injuries occurring, the man was released into psychiatric custody with no charges being filed.”
