That’d be a hard one, in one side we have a lot of DNAs wich could lead to immunity to most diseases, in the other hand that same variety could make a completely useless defense system that interferes with itself

Sorry, was trying to be funny. Then I thought I had just forgotten to post it, then I posted it again. It was like “oh it’s gone, I must have done something wrong”. But whatever, back on topic.

Any suggestions on how to make fluffies the center of discussion about irl topics?

i always figured viruses would not be a problem or most parasitic diseases for that matter but they would still be susceptive to bacterial diseases

how would a fluffy react to insert real world topic

I feel like disease is just another reason why the species would die out, they lick poop, and eat poop not to mention they have no sanitation. If you take some stories into account they eat anything that looks like spaghetti.
Not to mention most regular diseases would destroy them.

Viruses might be the main problem since the combination of DNAs could give them more chances of hijacking cells, they might not attach to X animal like cell, but could attach to Y like animal other cell, only reducing what can they attack

Indeed.

That would have to be a way to perfect blend, or an entirely new set of compounds, if we have so many species in one the disease will recognize something to infect

or so imperfect that the portion coating on the cells would be unrecognizable to the viruses or specifically made to be viral resistant

Yes that can happen too, maybe the most dangerous diseases are the ones that messes with the cells with no need of hijacking, like meat eating bacteria

280 posts. What the hell.
Okay, I’m going to respond to OP first, before I read the rest of this thread.

This is correct. We are a varied community, and the abuse/grimdark/edgy content doesn’t represent all of us
-
The lore DEPENDS ON HEADCANON. There’s a reason why I stress this. Fluffies started out as a joke among the MLP community on 4chan. The Hasbio stuff, the PETA stuff, all of that came about AFTER anons started putting more time and greentexts in the lore. But the lore is NOT consistent. Over time, different artists and different writers had their take on canons, some following a major hivecanon, some doing their own thing. You need to keep this into account.

As L.AVaught said
Not all the artists and writers had fluffies as completely unlikeable. I know Waggytail sure as hell didn’t. Carpdime has explored fluffies both likeable and unlikeable. And I know Marcusmaximus saw them as endaring, like Waggytail. Hell, Art-anon, aka the person who first drew fluffies based off the udnerstanding of them as a genetically engineered pet, did so because the concept was cute.
- As said in 2 and 3. Depends on headcanon. And you’re too depending on looking at fluffies only as hellgremlins.
If anything, I’d say looking at fluffies as “only” unlikeable, and relying on that approach is precisely the reason why a lot of people look at our content as weird. What kind of fandom obsesses so much over a creature that people are supposed to hate and torture violently?
I recommend reading Foxhoarder’s topic on hellgremlins, and how their approach is what helped put this community in its current place: What's a Hellgremlin? by:Foxhoarder
I consider drama and an over-emphasis on abuse to be the larger causes, but obsessing about hellgremlin lore is definitely a contributing factor.
