Uh oh…

INVINCIBLE!!!!! LET ALL FLUFFIES HAVE THIS POWER

@Takugenji  
It could also just be straight-up invulnerable. Sure, you can poke needles into it, but that doesn’t mean it’ll bleed or feel pain.
 
And it’ll also still want to hug you. While covered in hundreds of extremely sharp things. You do the math.

So this fluffy seems to be an Ork. To stupid to know that it was supposed to die.

@Joseph Raszagal  
Either that, or it’s healing so fast it doesn’t give a flying feather about anything done to it.

The fluffy’s ultimate revenge… simply refusing to take damage.

Fiction.
 
That’s another argument of justification some often use, but it’s used more by the fans of the artists, rather than the artists themselves. Somewhat of a “I can see and make these images and there’s never going to be any repercussions of doing so”. It DOES mean a lot to some people. And I’m not justifying it, I’m just saying the justifications others say, because there’s always people who say they “don’t understand it”.

@Background Pony #30FB  
Giving the reasons people use the justify it does not me he is justifying it…

@ShimmeringStallion  
Don’t try to justify torture porn with logic. It only exists because people like drawling sadistic art. In pretty much any modern western society what is often done to fluffies in fiction would be considered an atrocity to the same level or even more so than dog fighting.

@ShimmeringStallion  
No, it is literally a case of  
A (bio) = B  
and  
C (Toy) = D  
BD = E (Pet)
 
And there is one huge difference between a pet and a toy. A toy is none animate, it doesn’t move, breath, have functioning organs, or think complex thought like a living animal does. A pet in the realistic sense is a living animal held in captivity for amusement and entertainment, but is kept well in doing so. And the same basic right as a living being to be treated humanely is what would realistically apply to a Fluffy, ESPECIALLY considering the fluffies show some degree of self-aware sentience and can actually talk.
 
Yes we may kill a rat, but a vast majority of rat traps these days are humane traps that kill it instantly. We don’t stomp on a rat or torture it to death to kill it. And we certainly wouldn’t consider it normal for someone to do that to a dog, which would be even lower on the sentience scale than a fluffy.

@Background Pony #30FB  
Bio-Toy can be considered a synonym for “pet”, but it’s not necessarily the meaning for it. It’s like that old algebraic question of “A=B. B=C. Does A=C?” With the answer being “Not necessarily”.
 
And it’s this loophole that brings about the belief in many, that it’s alright and socially acceptable to kill them with or without harmful intent. They can just as easily be treated as rats and stepped on accidentally, with minimal caring as a result. Or, of course, used in plenty of torturous experiments.

@ShimmeringStallion  
“Bio-Toy”
 
Bio, an old Greek term (Bios) meaning “Life/Living”, root of the word biology.
 
Toy, a Middle English term meaning “Object to be played with or give amusement.”
 
By the very definition, “Bio-Toy” is a synonym for “pet”, as outside of working animals or livestock, all pets are kept for amusement and play.
 
Bio also correctly implies this critters are alive, having functioning organs and conscious thought; and thus subject to the same rights or decency of all living things. Humans can be real bastards at times, I should know, but a vast majority are biologically hardwired to be behave placidly to something weaker than us. Shows compassion to a weaker force is a classic sign of being human and likeable (hence why the most common trait for fictional heroes and heroines is to visibly pet and or own a dog or equivalent, no joke).
 
Raccoons are biologically useless to 99% of all urban humans who meet them. They nest in buildings, eat our food, poop all over the place, breed explosively, and can carry horrid diseases. Yet, almost all people I know who see a raccoon are neutral or even friendly towards them. If someone locks one up and tortures it, he or she is seen as a freak.
 
Needless to say, even as someone who hunts and fishes regularly, the torture porn I see with these annoying little fuzzball ponies is sickening.

Huh.  
Guilt free stabbing.

@JoozRBahd  
>nope

@MrVargasProductions  
Yea. Suwpwised? :D

What!? U NO DIE!?

@PurplePresident  
Okay; there’s plenty of reasons that other people have given.
 

@ShimmeringStallion  
Wat?  
I want all the fluffies.  
They look like adorable hamsters!
 
…  
I suddenly feel sorry for Fluffle Puff…

@PurplePresident  
Because killing things smaller than you makes you feel powerful.

cries of epicness of the fluffy  
I forget why they kill them, though.

I love this. It kinda reminds me of this…  

Hah! Comeuppance!

Sometimes… they just become too stupid to die.

“Too stupid to be killed” is one of the lesser known superpowers.
