Gururumon, if you didn't know, is a digimon that was introduced in Digimon World for the PS1.

In that game, there were a number of digimon who were recolors of existing ones. This was done mainly for memory, iirc. It was easier to change the texture. That's how we got random digimon like Psychemon

A few of these were just straight up recolors, like Psychemon I believe. However, there were a few with differences to their original, like Piddomon, a variant of Angemon made for the game.

Gururumon was one of these cases. He had similar coloring to Garurumon, but notably lacked the large blade like fur pieces Garurumon had. His tail also ended in one instead of two.

But for whatever fucking reason, after World, Bandai just decided to... undo the changes? Yeah, in every installment after the initial games that used these models, Gururumon was changed to just be a flat out recolor

Even the fucking Reference Book art is just a recolor!

WHY DID THEY DO THIS?! WHY REVERSE THE INDIVIDUALITY OF A DESIGN?!

OGREMON'S VARIANTS ALL HAVE DIFFERENCES LIKE THEIR HORNS!

PIDDOMON IS STILL DIFFERENT! HELL, YOU GAVE HIM AN ENTIRE FUCKING EVOLUTION LINE!

So now Gururumon is constantly seen and thought of as one of the laziest recolors. "Even its name is just Garurumon spelt wrong." IT WASN'T ORIGINALLY LIKE THIS BANDAI YOU MORONS WHY?!

users: :D

staff: look we did something!

users: cool, what?

staff: uh

staff: it’s darker now

It's something I hear others be told so often. In trans communities, tragedies, etc. and it's always some stupid "justification" for the bad thing that happens. It's the reason trans people shouldn't be allowed gender affirming care, it's the reason someone shouldn't be upset when their pet gets deathly ill.

And my question is just... why? Why do you say it's "God's plan?" Why do you shove responsibility into an unseen force in an act of fear mongering or being an absolute asshole?

I'm not religious. Closest would be that I tell myself Lucifer is playing with my life like a dollhouse. Even so, I grew up in religious environments. My father is religious, my grandma is religious, my elementary and highschool were religious.

And yet I don't remember ever, not even once, hearing the words, "God's plan."

Free will? What the fuck is that? No, I gotta tell staff why I need them to open a cabinet and then they can still choose to just not open the fucking cabinet.

God forbid I need a PRN, because if I'm near my breaking point, they will pause all activity to tell me they are getting the prn, including getting the prn.

Xbox Controller has buildup of something.

Don't want to ask about it on Reddit because I think I'll be called an idiot for not knowing something "obvious"

Decide to ask on Reddit anyway

Mention that I know it's to do with cleanliness and that I don't need to be told that, and I just want to know what it is specifically.
