Four horsemen of the furry apocalypse
a year ago
General
I have a question for all of you out there. I have a script I'm writing for a youtube video on Star Fox. In it I make a joke about Krystal being "one of the four horsemen of the furry apocalypse," with a nonsensical image I plan to tie to it. My question is:
Who are the other three?
Gardevoir (I'd personally pick lopunny, but gardevoir is actually more popular, since she came first)
Renamon
Lola Bunny (Original Space Jam version)
Sally Acorn (Again, her over Rouge the Bat since she came out first, but Rouge is closer to the time frame the Krystal was in)
Nala (Or possibly Gadget Hackwrench, Peg from Goof Troop, any Disney inclusion)
That said, times have changed and I'm an old man. We got these new options that are viable, but I don't think they fit the point of the joke. Characters like Judy Hopps, Toriel, technically Midna, and various ponies.
I think the point is that I'm looking for those Patient 0, OG offenders, hence why I'm thinking of taking Sally over Rouge, but I'm not 100% on that. Ones that forever changed impressionable youths, such as ourselves.
It's just a quick visual gag, but I thought I'd ask.

FA+

I think I'm primarily stuck between "Who came first" VS "Who did it better," and while Nala on horseback would be funny, it might not be the most accurate.
Sally and Lola should also be locked in pretty hard, all things considered, while Rouge has more attention now, it does not change the fact Sally was an awakening for many a furry(and general Sonic series fetishists).
Of the Disney options, some might Argue Nala's "feral" body type would exclude her from being a proper "furry" character in spite of her still being anthropomorphized in other ways, but i also do not doubt her facial expressions awoke countless furries, so in the long run she is still Valid.
However, defaulting to seniority, the position would fall on Gadget, as her show premiered in 1989, Peg's in 1992, and Nala in 1994.
Since one needs to be scuttled for Krystal(whom is very much valid to be here.), one of the best two options include Renamon, for diversity's sake(Both are Foxes), but i think the Disney Rep is the most likely to be cut.
Krystal, Lola Bunny, Sally Acorn, and Renamon, going by admittedly mostly anecdotal evidence, awoke more furries then any of the listed Disney representatives(Gardevoir is arguable, again, but is technically not a "Furry" as often defined, as she is not based on an Animal, otherwise Optimus Prime could qualify).
That is my two cents, at least. Let us know when/if the video is out?
I'm with you on picking Sally over Rouge. I mentioned in another comment that I'll throw her a bone by giving Sally Rouge's outfit.
I FEEL like Disney needs some rep, but Lola could just as easily fill that spot. The whole reason I thought of Nala is because, being feral, she opened up a new category that stayed dormant for a while, but remained there in the background. Gadget was my first pick though.
I still think Renamon needs to be there, even if she and Krystal are similar. Since Krystal's like the video game equivalent, it brought in a new audience, so to speak. The whole lead in to the joke that spawned this discussion is from talking about how her 15 minute intro stage somehow took players over an hour. I think you picked the best 3 additions for it and the other commenters are giving similar takes.
The video might take a while, to be honest. I've 0 experience in editing and I have to draw up assets, such as my avatar and pull together resources. I don't plan on it being this amazingly produced thing, but it will be a long, ranty, multipart affair where I do a deep dive on Star Fox Adventures and actually remake the game for fun. I'll put up a post once I get it out.
I do not think anyone is going to complain about anyone wearing any of Rouge's outfits. It is it's own sub-kink at this point, and she has so many different ones you could put all four in one. I myself would put Renamon or Krystal in Rouge's Sonic Heroes outfit, but that's just me.
Renamon is absolutely one of them, I know that much.
That's all I can contribute though.
They both left a mark, but since Rouge is still around, she should get some kinda mention. Maybe I can compromise and put Sally in Rouge's suit or something.
