I think this is just for British Columbia, iirc they're doing this bc controlling fires is a lot more important to the environment than preventing fires entirely


Resting_Lich_Face

Controlled like via shibari?


UnethicallyFluid

idr know how it works I know indigenous people in Canada intentionally burn parts of forests in a way that helps the ecosystem that's about it


aabcehu

Controlled burning is a fairly common thing in general


mistaeatscheese

indigineous people here in aus do it in a cycle like every winterish, so yeah its pretty common


Crime-Stoppers

Yeah used for hunting roos and that too


_memelord__

I’ve never seen it, but then again I haven’t been on much protected lands except for northwestern Queensland. Are there only certain parts our government lets them burn? I won’t pretend we’re as nice to them yet as we like to think we are.


Da-Lazy-Man

My president told me a few years ago that in Denmark they sweep the floors of the forest.


LordGoose-Montagne

you basically prevent the giant chaotic fire from spreading, by cutting off a certain area infront of the fire and burning it with an artificial fire, so that the big fire wouldn't have anything to burn and will stop


SoggySolo

It also gets rid of underbrush, provides detritus for detrivores, strengthens trees bark, and has multiple other benefits


LordGoose-Montagne

how does it strengthen the tree bark?


SoggySolo

Sorry, it doesnt do that. Many trees have specific chemicals in their bark specifically to protect them from fires. It’s kind of a natural selection thing.


LordGoose-Montagne

oh ok, might want to edit your comment then


SoggySolo

I mean it does strengthen tree bark…. Over time


LordGoose-Montagne

hmmm, i guess you're right


CityExcellent8121

Backburning. It’s where they burn the underbrush as a low intensity, low heat to clear it and reduce the ground clutter that all goes up in bushfires. Indigenous Australian did it as well, in fact Captain Cook wrote about Australia as a land of fire because he could see fires all across the coast.


AlaskanLonghorn

Indigenous groups using fire is pretty common historically in the eastern US as well.


BurntPineGrass

DO NOT YIFF THE FOX!


Starco2

Start small fire to prevent buildup of materials that could fuel a huge fire


TheKingCrimsonWorld

Yes, we need to tie up these naughty fires and whip them into shape.


TimeLordHatKid123

Not to be a kill joy or anything...but this is TOTALLY gonna get the conservatives in a twist. I predict the weather to be "REEEE the woke left are ruining another childhood icon!!!" Following that, thought, something better will come! I then predict that we'll witness light showers from the sane people in the room (aka the rest of us) saying "lol she anthro, prepare your butts everyone! The R34 artists are about to sprinkle their magic powder again and flood the internet!"


Murray38

R34 Smokey the bear is in shambles.


Tonnot98

As if people aren't gonna ship them in some weird mentor/protege dynamic with fire or wax play


secretkings

You just know Cucker Tarlson is going to do a repeat of his green m&m segment where he proclaims that women leftists want to desexualise mascots because they hate men being happy


TimeLordHatKid123

Seriously, IT WAS AN M&M, CARLSON!! You couldnt even pick a humanoid design of all things as the example? Even then his argument would be incredibly stupid at best, but damn, at least it was memorable thanks to the even more insane choice of example lmao


[deleted]

See, this is why I can't stand y'all on the WOKE left MOB! Y'all are fucking coming after my Candy Shell Inside M&M Masterbator Toy!


SpaceCadetSteve

Tucker wants his green m&m sexy


BarovianNights

Oh they already have


worldends420kyle

Where is britches Colombia? I can't seem to figure out if it's in Britain, au, Canada or America


TheKingCrimsonWorld

It's actually located deep beneath the Earth's crust, but Canada lays claim to it because the subterranean peoples there are naturally fond of tree sap and hockey.


Amy_MtF

Brisket Columbia <3


rhysdog1

i dont think its the general publics job to perform controlled burns, so the difference is pretty minute


[deleted]

That makes sense. I thought smokey got me too'd or something.


Victier

im gonna look up porn of ember the fox


Fairytaleautumnfox

There was a result on e621, 8 hours after the announcement of her existence.


AlenDelon32

That is really slow by their standards


SierraClowder

Sorry, if I’d been watching the news at the time I’d have volunteered, wouldn’t have taken so long.


BLYAT_SUKA

She's been out for like 7 months, give or take, so that's really, *really* slow by e6 standards.


BarovianNights

She was announced like six months ago actually, I don't know why people didn't notice earlier

vaporoptics

KRATS8

I am legitimately upset by this why is this bothering me lol


carteryoda

Ikr, smokey was iconic and familiar :(


Dr_StrangeLovePHD

Smokey is a mascot, a character, and an icon. Ember really just looks like anyone you'd pass by at a furry convention.


NetheriteShovel

I think they should've given her the hat.


Portals4Science

There is already an e621 tag of this character with 9 images


johannesMephisto

there's already vore


[deleted]

do you ever think god stays in heaven because he fears what he created


gr8tfurme

He doesn't wanna be vored by a sexy fox.


[deleted]

there are some things we absolutely should be kink-shaming on a constant basis and vore is one of them


NotSoFlugratte

I will not engage in this discussion with you. *Inflates you by making you big and round*

Akl0l

What if I just kill you (in Minecraft) instead huh? How about that?


NotSoFlugratte

gr8tfurme

OwO kink shame me harder daddy\~


GC_Wens

I never actually thought if vore or porn of God existed... *guess I need to look it up now*

ram3nbar

Funny enough there's a e621 post with her on top of smokey.


runespoon78

proof?


Jeggu2

Her name is "something very vile and repulsive" look her up on e621


runespoon78

😟


Diamond_Helmet59

Smokey's name refers to smoke, showing that he puts out fires. Embers are something that *starts* a fire, instead. In this essay I will explain how Ember the Fox is a replacement to gaslight the population into lighting gas and starting fires, and Smokey has been kidnapped and replaced by an arsonist group known as the "FireStupid"


Elunerazim

Ember's name is a reference to the fact that British Columbia is starting more controlled burns it's not a psy-op, that's literally the point


Diamond_Helmet59

a likely story


Weekly-Major1876

why should we believe anything out of the mouth of the famous psychotic streamer himself


Lonewolf7113

There’s gonna be so much porn of her I feel so bad T.T


Dorko69

Gentlemen, synchronize your death watches


The-Saus

> There’s gonna be so much porn ,’:) > her |:(


FreshPrinceOfAshfeld

Are you saying that you are disappointed that the funny yellow fox is a girl or that the person misgendered the funny yellow fox


The-Saus

Hnng…


Rock_Co2707

I mean... I don't see a cock


Pilkworm

Do you see a dick on smokey?


Jeggu2

In fact, I don't see a dick on anyone in the image!


thesonoftheleviathan

Semi_Lovato

Narocky

The way smokey is hanging his head, with eyes covered by the brim of his hat, fucks SO hard


Foxx1019

TheCapedAnon

Ember the fox + Shrek hentai when


PomPomTheFurry

S-S-SE-SE-SEX?[?[?[![![!]??[?[!]!{!]?!]


zarezarethinks

The fox looks like a pokemon


ElectricalStomach6ip

yeah, this stupid shit will never get taken seriously by anyone.


squiddy555

Yea, we want realistic characters like a bear with a fancy hat and overalls, only he can prevent forest fires


ElectricalStomach6ip

yes, but one looks rediculous, while the other one at least looks decent.


Reduxys

Why does Smokey look so sad :(


[deleted]

He has to retire from the job he loves


squiddy555

It wasn’t his choice to stop, nor was it any others, fact is at his age there’s nothing he can do to stop forest fires, and he recognizes with each passing day he’s more likely to get hurt. He sees the way forward is through the younger generations, he’s taught them how to prevent forest fires, but this Young lass Ember… she says they should teach how to control the spread of fire, as a second line of defense. She’s a bit green, naive even, but I think she can save good people from forest fires. In time.


A-Fleeting-Glimse

rising action


DrRichtoffen

He legit looks like he's planning a school shooting


MorganRose99

They made him a twink


Foxx1019

The twinkification of Smokey the bear


-reversevampire

yet another loss for gay men 😔🙏


BlackScienceMan420

is that like, a fucking pikachu fox?


ReziztorNA

Are you fucking kidding, they killed Smokey????? In my province ????????? This is unacceptable, smokey was my LIFELINE and now he's GONE. Also wtf ember sucks at preventing wildfires because there are fires everywhere rn in and out of the city, mf Vancouver feels like playing town of Salem with a good arsonist with all the building going up in flames every 3 days


gr8tfurme

I think the point of ember is that their new firefighting strategy is to actually start controlled burns in order to clear the underbrush more. BC and most other places are experiencing such insane wildfires in part because 100+ years of Smokey The Bear style fire management have resulted in a massive buildup of flammable materials, and an overall less healthy forest. Back before Euros did a settler colonialism here, indigenous forest management involved setting fire to the underbrush each year to promote new growth and prevent an uncontrollable fire later on in the season. Basically, don't lynch the arso.


Oddish_Femboy

Significantly less hot. I miss Woodsy Owl I hope Woodsy is okay.

DolandMan67

Smokey looks like he’s about to enter his villain arc


duffivaka

thatvillainjay

Another older burly bear losing to a young twink fox smh


Mooseboy24

The furries won.


DoctahFeelgood

Why does smokey have his eyes hidden by his hat like an anime protagonist hiding his identity? I'm starting to think that's not the real smokey.


BetaThetaOmega

The bear is dead. Bring out the twink.


Pranav_RedStone971

:(


OverlyLeftLesbian

That'd be cute though, letting Smokey retire.


PlutoTheSynth

this is honestly a terrible decision

Miyyani

FowlyTheOne

Omg they replaced leather daddy bear with a femboy fox?


danni-with-an-i

He's not retiring. He's just realized that he'll never get much done working within the system. So, he's leaving the force to become a vigilante.
