Wait, so this was all just an allegory for natural selection the whole time?

SAMEA GET'S NAE NAE'D

Welp. Look like Karma did arrive. Samea really got bit hard in the ass.

Talk about a full escalation. I mean I expected a conflict between them and the pure and mixed tribes at some point but for Samae to just be utterly rofl stomped by Malaku was unexpected.

Malaku is a cruel one. I guess Samea was the better god.

I kinda hoped they'd get along in the end. Oh well. I guess they call themselves GrimArt for a reason.
Also, both of them are assholes. I wouldn't want to live under Samea or Malaku. I mean, totalitarian regime or cruel social darwinism - pick your poison.

Having to be pregnant forever and eventually dying to it? Geez I side with the guy but that's a bit much.

I agree with one thing;Malaku represents inevitable change in the world,either adapt or get left in the dust. Can't help but wonder what Samea could have accomplished had she chosen to work alongside Malaku instead of against him.

my expectation were low but holy f*ck

Well, the problem is not hybridization, the problem is the loss of genetic variability. Now Malaku has less species to overcome changes. Because, who said that purebred red wolf will be the top wolf in the future ?

all i can see is malaku shit posting in the village to snoopdog while samea is forced to listen.

Huh, that escalated quickly :O

Regarding real life, the only inhospitable environment that red wolves can’t survive is one inhabited by trigger-happy humans, otherwise they’d be fine. Now obviously, we don’t live in a winter apocalypse like these fellas. (yet)

Would these wolves be considered more coyote than wolf, or still wolf, just not specifically the o.g red wolf, in effect transitioned into a new species?

Malaku having his arm around Samea supports my joke theory that they are just two exes who have been in a pissing contest since the break up.

Also, sealing of the pussy and making them die like that is evil as fuck holy shit.

If the hybrids only breed with other 50-50 hybrids, they'll remain steady as a 50-50 genetic purebreed (even a baby of these hybrids would be a 50-50 hybrid).

Standard breeding and family tree rules should apply.

But that depends on how Malaku's genetics work. These hybrids are 50% god.

The ending of this feels kinda rushed

Malaku is a demon and was still intended by the artist to be evil/cruel, just dropping that off here.

yeah, it is a bit abrupt isnt it.

This comic had such a limpy story, and it felt so rushed. I don't know grimart but I'm pretty sure you can do a better plot than this.

I don't get it. What's the moral of the story?
The ones who didnt change got attacked and were killed.
The ones who did change got raped to death.
The only ones who lived were Malaku and his hybrids.
The red wolves lose either way.
I get whole story is about change and adaptation, why didn't malaku just teach them how to survive out there. Theres apparently plenty enough food to raise an army.

I get it's all just an analogy for change, staying stagnant minded, refusing to learn or adapt or accept reality, or move forward in life.
But it seems like atleast half of the red wolves were curious enough about change to leave their paradise.
But they died also. Not even a year later.

I dont get it. It's like it's saying change is bad and they shouldn't have questioned their God. Just scream and run away from the forbidden object. They weren't told what would happen to them if they found it. Not told about the consequences. Just told to stay away from it. Only told what would happen once they brought it up with her.

Eh, even if he was meant to be, i don't consider him evil. Cruel, sure, but not pointlessly so. The world isn't fair.

That's like asking why we don't just teach fish to breath air. The problem isn't lack of knowledge, their species is not suited to the real enviroment.

And the point is that change is inevitable. Samea only delayed things, she never actually solved anything. The red wolves had already lost before the story even began.

Not sure where you're getting the "raped to death" part from, though. It doesn't say that anywhere
Also, the "year" is either counted from when the hybrids became old enough to start the attack, or does not conform to our standards of time since that timeline wouldn't make much sense. It probably doesn't count their parents as red wolves anymore, either.

Agreed.Malaku could have rendered Sameas followers barren. They would have gone into heat, but no pregnancy. Or, Maluku could have made them forget about Samea's teachings. A much less violent way to get rid of them.

I don't think there was any real moral or lesson to this. It sort of is just made by the seat of the author's pants.

What

Does anyone remember when this comic was about a fox who found a dildo in the woods

Also this kinda reminds me of some of the stills in I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

In this comic I'm on Malaku's side, for he is an agent of change, taking action in making sure the world and its species thrive. In real life tho, Samae would be in the right. We don't have a coyote demon going around helping species evolve, so when we see endangered species we must do our best to maintain them alive, to help them not get forgotten to the sands of time as just another extinct animal.

I think for morals, it's up to you. For me, it says no matter what you do, no matter how much you prepare, no matter what you sacrifice, even at the lost of comfort. Change shall come all the same, the day shall turn, plants grow, seasons change, the world cooling or warming, species dying, and species taking their place. Even the passage of time is change.

So dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.

Yeah I referenced Marvel but it fits ye furry bastards

I feel like the fake utopia they had was better, if it could be preserved (and without the sacrifice), and also the Samea didn't optimize for the right things (bloodline is kinda meaningless). The story only shows that change is the victor in this particular case, not that it is morally right. I think change isn't necessarily inevitable, but it's messy because there are several reasons for the ending, so you can't definitively extract a moral corresponding to a single reason.

So basically, they should have just stayed their ass back in the village and thrown that dildo out.

And that's how Samea the female supremacist was destroyed by common fucking sense.

Came for the porn. Stayed for the story

To anyone confused, heres my take:

Its not an allegory for environmentalism, but for progressivism. The world will change, and a society must change alongside it. Conserving the past in a desperate attempt to deny change is ultimately futile and unhealthy, especially when that conservation of order has no place for those who don’t fit within the status quo (the red foxes who chose to remain pregnant or who happened to grow enlarged clits were exiled). Artificially maintaining that order requires that people deny their nature and suffer without pleasure (the foxes suffering heats) in order to be accepted. The love of Samea was conditional, anyone who did not fit her view of what a fox should be was cast out.

Malaku, described as a demon and “adversary” clearly represents Satan, who has been used as a symbol of liberation (and equality, feminism, queer rights, anti-authoritarianism, hedonism, anti-supernaturalism, rationalism, etc) for centuries. I agree the ending felt sudden and rushed, but the “moral” was coherent.
