I mean the impression I had for like a decade was essentially this. Then a guy sent me links on how to be his specific type of fantasy creature. It was sergel or sergal iirc. It had some really weird backstory and lore to the species detailing how they were warlords or something and I was really weirded out. It was very much like how some kids I went to school with would loose it if you told them that they weren't whatever comic or movie character they were hyperfixated on, only more socially awkward and adults doing it.
Anyway I feel like that's as close as you can get without reading out someones entire backstory novel.
...yeah that sounds about right for sergals, tbh
Generally speaking, once you get past the "traditional" species like foxes, rabbits, cats, etc., and start getting more into the esoteric fantasy/scifi species like sergals, protogens, and yinglets, the people who create characters for those species tend to fall into one of two camps:
super srs "you must follow this lore to the letter or I will end you, by which I mean I will post a FurAffinity journal for my 7 followers complaining about your character diverging from the lore that nobody will pay attention to" types
"oh this looks cool I'm gonna make one and put my own twist on the design" types
Funny story, the person who originally designed protogens tried to be the first type, but pretty much everyone ignored him and just did their own thing anyway
what the devil is that contraption your describing ? What is a protogens ?
I'M SCARED
They're literally fluffy cyborgs with an LED monitor display for a face lol
by god...
Fucking child murder
The fuck?
I think (hope) they're referring to the last panel of that comic.
Literally the computer equivalent of a lobotomy has happened in that comic and their guardian is like "lol lmao". Idk why that Erkul guy is hella mad when I pointed out the plot
I think i'd be mad too
Yeah but also why do people care that much about a one-off gag in a two-panel comic
It's like going "well ackshually if Superman tried to lift the plane like that he'd just rip off its nose" except even dumber
So many people need to remember the MST3K mantra: "it's just a TV show/movie/game/comic, I should really just relax"
You need to calm down buddy
Don't be scared. Protogens run on 2015 Bayesian Inference search results from Google before Google became inherently evil.
So as long as long as they don't update...
so if we connect them to internet we die ? Is that right ?
Sergal
It's originally from a Japanese series or something I'm not really well versed into that specific lore
