The Problem with Hivecanon (Opinion piece by Oculus)

I feel it becomes a question of whether fluffies are a toy or an animal. And there’s no easy answer for that, as different people have different ideas regarding fluffies. Flawed as they may, some people have depicted fluffies existing as rather adequate or even loveable pets. And as pets, of course you’d forgive them for their flaws, the way we would with cats and dogs. That alone falls into the question of “should fluffies be perfected”, as one would argue that pets are fine “the way theya re”. And if we consider fluffies to “bio-engineered pets” as opposed to “toys”, then of course it’d make sense if they had the kind of flaws pets have - who hasn’t hear the stories of mad and violent cats and dogs?
