HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

20% isn't the number i saw, it was 16%, and that is a small portion; it means if you encounter an armadillo there's an 84% chance it doesn't have it. combine that with 95% immunity and the debateable chance of contraction by simple touch when most sources say you need prolonged exposure to contract it even if you are one of the 5% vulnerable, and the long standing stigma and mistreatment against these creatures for it, and that just because i can't find the exact thing i'm referencing doesn't mean i'm factually wrong when a quick perusal of the shitty search results shows many sources disagreeing with each other on number infected as well as can touch transmit it, nah, i'm not being irresponsible saying you can pet the armadillos.
also your source proving me wrong is a single line in a florida source saying 'there are reports you can get it with touch'. lmfao.
Saying you can only get it from eating raw liver is wrong. I’m not gonna argue with you.
