Is there a joke here I’m missing or is this just you know, what’s written on the page

It’s a parody of en.m.wikipedia.org/…/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

Reference to an Aesop fable. In the original version, the scorpion stings the frog and both of them drown. The moral is that some people are intrinsically harmful, even against their own self interest

I always expect aesops fables to end with the explanatory post script you get in jataka tales but they never do.

There’s an old fable about the frog and the scorpion.
Paraphrasing, the scorpion asked the frog to be carried over the river, because otherwise he’d drown. The frog was reluctant, saying “but you’ll sting me”.
To which, the scorpion says, “but then I’d drown! so I won’t do that”.
Persuaded, the frog agrees. As they were crossing the scorpion stings the frog, and the frog asks, “Why would you do that? now we both die!”
and the scorpion replied, “because it’s in my nature”

I see I see. I like this version much better. Aesop can suck it.

I always think about that fable when I see Germans voting for that far-right party.

Hikeback is a visual novel horror game based on the story of the scorpion and the frog that I found very moving.

I am always so glad to see Matt and Ian still at it. Mac Hall were the days.
