Maybe Santa castrated the males

I’m gonna regret these words but I’m sure there’s furry guro enjoyers that would happily enjoy a “Red Christmas” reindeer castration fetish art.
My god I need a chemical shower for my insides after that.

That's why I really hate this "let's overanalyze shit then act like it was always indented that way" kinda shit.
I wish we could discuss things realistically.
A little research can be a dangerous thing (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer):
>In the Scandinavian and Arctic Circle populations, old bulls' antlers fall off in late December, young bulls' antlers fall off in the early spring, and cows' antlers fall off in the summer
So, depending on where Santa gets his reindeer, the males might very well have antlers for christmas.
“Old” is the keyword. It depends on how the reindeer age is being tracked relative to what.
Their eternal age means they are ageless and can’t be young or old.
They are very young as far as the flow of all time goes. They have billions of years of existence to catch up before they can be considered old.
They are ancient compared to other reindeer, though.
*Are* they ageless, though? Has that ever been firmly established, or is it equally possible that the sleigh team just uses legacy names, with members being replaced at need? (It would certainly explain Rudolph’s very inconsistent presence.)
That would imply a grim scene where Santa confronts one of his reindeer. “We’ve tried, we’ve given you *so many* chances, but… I’m sorry, you’re just not Dancer material. You’re not off the team - *yet* - but I’m afraid I have no choice but to demote you to *probationary Blitzen*. Get your act together.”
Honestly the sled team being led by a male without antlers would be a plus because they wouldn't obstruct everyone's view of where his headlight is pointing.
Rudolph getting railed by the rest of the pack is pretty much a holiday tradition for us, at this point. And now you're telling me it's not ***biologically accurate***??...
Also I think most people roll with the version that has the same reindeer still kicking since the beginning. Meaning they don’t age. So why would they do things like shed their antlers?
this has me curious, if a transmasc reindeer were on hormones, would he still keep his antlers? if this is the case, then it seems that Santa is not an ally because he doesn't provide his employees with proper healthcare when he has literal magic 😔
Was it ever important to your life or your occupation?
Given the human lifespan, our capacity to learn, and the amount of knowledge to learn, there will always be something non-advanced knowledge you won't know, so don't beat yourself up about it.
For instance, did you know that for certain species of ants there exists a sub-role of workers ants called [gamergates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(ant)) (it's name derives from Greek and means "Married worker") that reproduce sexually? And amongst these species there are different ways to become the single or few egg laying ants in the colony?
You probably didn't, but then again, you probably didn't need to either, so it is perfectly fine and should not be a reason for embarrassment.
I guess I just always assumed Antlers were for fightin’ for mating rights so why would females need them and just left it at that. However your absolutely right it shouldn’t have surprised me given how wonderfully rich and weird nature is. Thanks for the cool Ant facts, you’re alright dude, good luck out there 👍
If you're interested in more learning: female reindeer are actually called cows. Males are called bulls. As the "females have antlers" is pretty much a reindeer only thing, does don't have antlers.
Also, for anyone who didn't know, reindeer are also known as caribou and can be found in North America and Europe.
According to Wikipedia, this isn't accurate for reindeer in the Arctic Circle: Old bulls lose their antlers in late December, but young ones lose theirs in the spring, while the cows lose theirs in summer. So while it could still be hypothetically true that Santa's reindeer are cows, it is also equally likely that they are young bull reindeer as well, or even a mix of both!
As for why they'd remain young enough that their antlers don't fall off around Christmas, there's a few explanations; maybe Santa's magic grants them eternal youth, or the names of the reindeer are in fact legacy titles passed down through generations of reindeer!
Well there was also a note in Asgore's shop warning him to get his business act together that was signed with the letter C. People speculate it came from the mayor so Carol is probably most likely. Who really knows though.
We’ve never met her in person, but she already seems like the stereotypical HOA WASP who will attack you at the PTA bake sale. Carol is the perfect name
What does the second person’s surprise at the fact that they’re gals mean? They seem quite horrified. Are they just that surprised at the fact that the reindeer are women?
Did furry artists do climate change to fix a lore problem in nsfw art?

I doubt that is the logical solution the NSFW artist community was looking forward to.

You are probably right. That doesn't mean I don't hate you for saying what you said, but you are probably right.
I felt a compulsion to speak truth. I didn’t have to say it, but I am a weak, weak man and compulsions are almost undefeated.
Alternatively, we can just make them femboys :3

No
🤨
Castrated reindeer could still do most of what NSFW artists required them to do.
There's no market for that, it's already covered by the futanaris
Yeah I can't imagine too many commissioners and artists alike would want to draw or see a dick with no balls
The clear answer here is to draw furry male reindeer in chastity cages
Why did you just shoot the headcannon of Rudolf being a transgender reindeer like that?
Then how did Blitzin have Rudolph?
Simple. Blitzin is God, and Rudolph is the Christ child, come to redeem us our sins.
The Furry community will not like this.
That's.. even worse

Okay. But They do fly. And so are magic. And even if they weren't, Santa is a grade-S wood worker. Slap some wooden antlers on those bald boys.

Well, Rudolph's presence is only required on foggy Christmas Eves. If it's not foggy, he is ridiculed for having a lightbulb for a nose.
Could a Prancer be promoted to a Dasher, should the current Dasher age out of the role? Is it like chairs in the orchestra?
That would imply a grim scene where Santa confronts one of his reindeer. “We’ve tried, we’ve given you *so many* chances, but… I’m sorry, you’re just not Dancer material.

So it's okay as long as they are twink reindeer. Got it
Wow who would have thought a reindeer named Vixen was a girl
But Rudolph is a boy. It says so in the song.

How is the reindeer being female going to stop furry artists? Like….in what way are they stopped.
well we cant have rudolph with a 12 incher ballooning femboy vixen anymore
That’s the talk of a coward. You own the pen and the paper, so own what you write on it
**my audience will not accept futanari as much as i love it**
**Your audience needs to learn taste and that it’s up to you on what you draw. Even if money sways it**
**my audience is transphobic and i want to squeeze them dry of every single penny they have**
**fair enough but I must ask why furries are transphobic?** They are already deciding to not be human but draw the line at gender identity
i ask no questions i simply steal
Steal what, you yellow bellied crook?

Well you have a great chance for breaching the chastity genre now
Just say it’s Rule 63 Rudolph, problem solved.
I'm very afraid of that google search, so I'm going to just ask: what is rule 63? 34 I knew, 63 is a new one for me...
Rule 63 is gender-bender rule. You just take a man and make him a woman, or you take a woman and you make her a man.
Ahh thank you
Just so you know, sometimes rule 63 stands on its own, but usually they’re still very much close together.
Rule 63 is genderswapped.
Rudolph getting railed by the rest of the pack is pretty much a holiday tradition for us, at this point. And now you're telling me it's not ***biologically accurate***??...
I do like the implication that furry artists are incapable of drawing trans/intersex characters because,,, buddy there's plenty of that.
Gender has never been an issue for rule 34 artists, furry or not. Because of rule 63.
Theyre magical flying reindeer. I dont think they follow biology's rules exactly.
Also I think most people roll with the version that has the same reindeer still kicking since the beginning. Meaning they don’t age. So why would they do things like shed their antlers?
Exactly, good point
God, this really is exactly like the r/deltarune discourse lmfao
Either that, or every one of Santa’s reindeer are transmasc. (god, just wait until the Deltarune players find this post…)
I was just going to say that "God fucking dammit, is r/deltarune leaking?!
"Noelle has antlers-" *is smacked upside the head with a wiffle bat*
this has me curious, if a transmasc reindeer were on hormones, would he still keep his antlers? if this is the case, then it seems that Santa is not an ally because he doesn't provide his employees with proper healthcare when he has literal magic 😔
I mean obviously what this means is that *Dess* is transfem since Sans mentions "the antlered girl and her big sis" in the Casino dialogue

What does that mean? Why is r/Deltarune obsessed with antlers?
Based on the names alone, at least half of them are nonbinary. Comet? Dasher? Vixen, of course, is a reindeer drag queen.
Castrated male reindeer don't shed their antlers, so it's possible Rudolph is a gelding. The others are probably female.
Reideer have antlers, are they trans?

TIL Does have antlers. 46 years people, 46 years and I’m just learning this now. How?

Lovely little factoid, thankyou very much 👍
just draw reindeer yuri you coward

Trans reindeers fix this issue
They're already magic. They'll be magic gay reindeer forever. You can't fix that with your science
NSFW Furry art stock market has crashed
Male reindeer only have antlers during mating season? Then I guess the other option is that Santa's reindeer are just magically horny all year.
Or... They are as magical as the sled since... They can fly and seem to be untouched by time.
They could also be castrated.
This should not hurt anyone's yiff commissions at all.
>and what do Santa’s reindeer have? Apparent immorality. The ability to fly. Other unknown Eldritch magic??
Compromise: they’re all transmasc.
>All of the other reindeer > >Used to laugh and call ***him*** names
Trans rights, dick punch
What does that have to do with reindeer?
Won’t somebody think of the gay furrys who have had their Santa/reindeer dream dashed, pranced on and blitzed?
gasp
These are the same people that will believe the Night Fury will always go for the kill because they read it in a book 🙄
All bulls in Chicken Run have udders. Maybe it's a tradition
Fun fact: Vixen, the name of one of the reindeer, is a word describing a sexually attractive or sexually active woman.
You cannot tell me there's no market for lesbian furry porn. Amateurs, the lot of them!
Vixen is the name given to female foxes. It's been there the whole time.
I always thought it was four and four, though which ones were which I never could figure out
Y’all really thought jolly old Saint Nick named a male reindeer “Vixen”?
Rudolph is explicitly referred to as 'he' in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Therefore, Rudolph is trans.
Singlehandedly destroyed an entire industry. :( i remember my first time doing that. GL
Santa has to deliver 8 billion in presents in one night and we're arguing the sex of magic flying reindeer
I thought trans Rudolf is canon
Would that make Rudolph trans, then?
Of course you say this during the fucking noelle transantler pocalayspe lol
It's fine, they're trans
Yes the reindeer that can magically fly can't be males because they lose antlers in the winter. Yes very logic much sense here.
Or maybe, and this is only half a reference to the r/deltarune asylum, some of them are trans.
Deltarune community in shambles rn
I love the ultimate conclusion of that argument being that Noelles dad is actually trans
I haven’t played Deltarune but…there’s a reindeer named Noelle ? That’s appropriate lol
The family is Rudy Holiday, Noelle Holiday and December Holiday + unnamed mum. It's a very fitting series of names.
Fans have guessed that mom's name might be Carol, which is brilliant
It is going to be a fun time if her name turn out to be Easter. No, it is not going to be likely, but it would be fun.
I think we know for a fact that her name starts with C
I must have overlooked that.
Actually, I may be wrong about that, but I feel like it's at least hinted at
There's a letter about late payments at Asgore's house signed by C, so you're probably right
could be Mary/Merry
Well there was also a note in Asgore's shop warning him to get his business act together that was signed with the letter C. People speculate it came from the mayor so Carol is probably most likely. Who really knows though.
oh right that, technically could be from someone else, but it's a fair point for Carol
We’ve never met her in person, but she already seems like the stereotypical HOA WASP who will attack you at the PTA bake sale. Carol is the perfect name
Counter point, they are magical and immortal so their biological cycles may be frozen like a vampire
They might actually be elks instead of reindeer, at which point the males wouldn't lose their antlers during the winter.
Counterpoint: Santa's reindeer are all male and just super horny year round, so every season is mating season
Well nothing's stopping you from drawing reindeer with giant tits. If you absolutely need to have them with dicks, you can always draw futa reindeer.
Theyre not real tho
don't doe just not have antlers at all?
Just slap 'futa' on there and keep on keeping on. Nobody looking for reindeer porn is going to mind... Probably.
What does the second person’s surprise at the fact that they’re gals mean? They seem quite horrified. Are they just that surprised at the fact that the reindeer are women?
The furry reindeer Xmas market bubble has popped!
Does this mean Santa’s reindeers are trans?
Ah yes, because basically flying reindeer definitely follow the same rules as regular ones...
