the advanced fluffs generally almost look the same as an normal fluffy, they have color patterns and the only difference is that there more intelligent, there just a smart as an dog, they can speak words properly, and due to there intelligence they can love an alicorn, 60% of there population will except an brown foal as there offspring, however there libido is much more lower than an normal fluffy, and it makes them rare.

“Fixing” fluffies is incredibly boring. It’s just MLP with a lisp

If they do try to ‘fix’ fluffies, it’d be a whole world of issues as it’d be akin to owning someone. You know, can’t pull off it’s a toy if it sounds like a normal person.

“Hey, you know how like half of the appeal of fluffies is their stupidity? What if we got rid of that?”
-You, and people like you

This is sincerely a bad idea. In all my years in the fandom I can’t recall one time I’ve ever seen the “smart fluffy” thing work. It never has, and it never will.

This is a joke post, right? The terrible idea and bad grammar make me think it surely must be.

Yeah, I save this issue for the Kopiya androids in my alternate timeline.
My fluffies are still the same as always, and the nuance I give them is far away from the Mary Sue crap in this (hopefully satirical) post.

This reminds me, the whole ‘fixing’ fluffies, is the women who can ‘fix’ the bad boys and such. They’re that way because they chose it, folks. You can’t change what they are in the end.

Fluffies don’t choose to be retarded, though. They were created that way by humans.

And to be fair: it’s not unreasonable to say that people in-universe would get sick of all of the flaws fluffies have and try to fix them. Y’know, like literally everything else humans have ever invented.

I know I’ve said that before, but it hasn’t stopped being true, has it?

Doing too much of that to fluffies doesn’t make for a good fluffy story, though, especially if the “fixes” take away essential fluffy traits like their rhotacism and dopey nature.

Here’s the thing mate: Even if you do such, there would be new flaws. Why? Because people always make mistakes. Making them flawless wouldn’t have been made by man. AKA, a God made beast.

And there is no god, so these flawless “god-made beasts” you speak of don’t even exist.

Nothing in the universe is flawless. Random chance produces infinite variables, and some of those happen to result in flaws.

It was never true, as in empirically observable in the world true. It was only ever true in your head.

Humanity hasn’t fixed social media, capitalism, communism, corn starch syrup infused and heavily processed foods, the institution of marriage, terrorism, religion, mental health, banking, computer games, porn, plastic surgery… and the list goes on.

The fact that you are a technology optimist does not change observable reality.

Yeah, I get that. A character with no flaws can be very boring.

I’m just trying to look at this from both an in-universe perspective and an out-of-universe perspective. Doesn’t really make sense to me that no one in-universe looks at all the flaws fluffies have and goes “huh, maybe we should try to do something about that?”

I’m not saying that fluffies should start off flawless. Look at the first cars and computers, and look how long it took to go from those to what we have today.

And even today, we’re still finding ways to improve the technology at our disposal even further. Just because you can’t reach perfection, doesn’t mean you can’t try to get as close as you can. There’s always room for improvement.

It’s not really any different from any other example of character development, is it? The characters starting off having already overcome their flaws is dull, but what makes it interesting is the struggle to overcome those flaws.

I’m talking to you from a different country via a phone that is more like a handheld computer that happens to also be able to make phone calls. Once I hit that reply button, you will see this message immediately, and not in a few weeks or months.

Compare that to the technology we had to work with a few hundred years ago, and tell me I don’t have a point.

I’m not any kind of optimist, believe me. I know how shitty the world is, and that a lot of problems are only getting shittier. But only looking at the shitty stuff isn’t healthy for you. It only makes your state of mind shittier too.

I am quite cheerful on the daily. But people growing tired of flaws, only to try and fix them, does not lead to a state where those flaws are promptly fixed and all behind us - in many cases.

The fact that you bring up a smart phone as proof is moot, because you make a claim about EVERYTHING humans have ever invented. It does not strengthen your case to bring up an anecdote of one technological product category. You need to show it is always true for everything.

Humanity has fixed plenty of things only to make them turn out worse.

A story told about the inevitable march of progress, where problems are always isolated and fixed, is a naively optimistic, ideologically motivated story. I like my stories grey.

Not to mention: what goes into the advancement of said technology, and at what motive? A lot of our technological comforts often come to us by what is essentially slave labor- and are designed to keep us addicted and buying more. Things are inarguably made to break more than ever now, are more disposable. Fixing fluffies goes against what we see with tech unless by making them smarter you make them exceptionally weaker and more disposable lol

Unless it’s a utopia story, at which case that’s just not my cup of tea tbh.
