They do not reproduce (setting aside Smurfette, who is technically a Golem) and they also do not die… they must be DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS.
I'm blue ba da ba da dee da ba dieee

Their enemy made smurfette with magic to seduce them
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well…yeah, in the same sense the bedroom is “where the magic happens.” Did you think they meant literal magic lol? Papa Smurf definitely fucks bro.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.
Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!
Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.
Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

Insects have hair that serves several purposes, and birds can have feathers that resemble hair. Also there are mammals that lay eggs so there’s that too.

Numerically speaking, the virus wants to keep smurfette alive as long as possible.
This comic still gives me some kinda ick.

Parasites: Being Factories for more parasites, since 3.5 BYA or so (or when the first viruses emerged (viruses are parasites that kinda forgot how to do anything but parasitism))

This is ancient furry porn, isn’t it?
Machinist@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Huh. I’m not sure how far back furries go.
If not, it’s certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.

What most people don’t know is why Smurfs are blue. Well, the reason is because Smurfs only have sex once a year.
Face it: if you had sex only once a year, you’d be blue, too.

Everyone I argue online with is a Smurf?

Once they all get off, they just look like normal little wrinkly ballsacks for awhile.

TFW the antagonist in The Smurfs was right all along.
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Didn’t he want to eat them or something? That sounds like a one-way ticket to a body horror ending…
BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
I think originally he wanted to use them to make gold
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 months ago
First book, he needs them to make gold.
Then it’s just revenge.
Or so I remember.

Years ago I found a page that reasoned that the whole thing is a communist propaganda (they have no money, share food etc), then SWITCH and they went on how the whole thing is a Nazi propaganda (the bad guy looks like an archetypical jew who wants to make gold of them, etc).
I can’t find the original, but there’s a lot of sites that claim one or the other

archetypical jew who wants to make gold of them
He also makes a golem from clay (smurfette)

And the smurfs wear white hoods. Except the leader who wears red (the the klan)
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
He has wanted them fir different purposes at different times. In the US bersions he wanted to eat them very often.

First of all, Papa Smurf didn’t create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel’s evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario - It just couldn’t happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don’t even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That’s what’s so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What’s the point of living… if you don’t have a dick?

This is Sassette erasure and I won’t stand for it! /s
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
bss03@infosec.pub 2 months ago
I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.
Of course, I was saying “only female” is Sassette erasure. I was not saying “only mating prospect” is Sassette erasure.
I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn’t up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

This means that Gargamel was heroically working to contain the infestation and researching a cure.
monotremata@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Honestly the idea that parasites all share a single, simple method of reproduction is the silliest thing in this comic. There’s a cordyceps fungus that not only has a stage in an ant, it then swells and reddens the abdomen of the ant, takes over the behavior of the ant and forces it to climb to the top of a stalk of grass, and has it wave in the air until a bird mistakes it for a berry and swoops down and eats it. At this point it has a whole other phase of its life cycle inside the bird until it finally releases its spores in the bird’s droppings.
(I probably have a few of the details here not quite right, as it’s not my field of expertise, but it’s along these lines, including the behavior modification and the two separate host species.)
There are so many kinds of parasites, and they do so many crazy things.

Fun fact: I sometimes watch the new stuff with my niece and they have many female characters now. The latest season even has a girl village next to the normal one and they regularly interact with each other but there are female only episodes as well. The normal village also has women, I’m not sure about the exact (gender) dynamics at play

Yeah but one does have to question if segregation is actually progress
PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 2 months ago
Wow! TIL. Also, maybe less surprisingly, I just found that EURIMAGES has it as a criterion, so I guess no public EU money for your movie project if it doesn’t pass the test.
