    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?

        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.

    They do not reproduce (setting aside Smurfette, who is technically a Golem) and they also do not die… they must be DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS.

    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

    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!

    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

    Numerically speaking, the virus wants to keep smurfette alive as long as possible.

    This comic still gives me some kinda ick.

        First book, he needs them to make gold.

        Then it’s just revenge.

        Or so I remember.

          yep. that’s the biggest tell that the Smurfs is about communism. in any other kids story the antagonist would either want to get rid of them or eat them, which is why most people just assume that’s what he wants. but no, he wants gold. he’s a capitalist.

        I think you’re right… I was just imagining him coming in with a flamethrower in one the last episode

    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))
