If you learn you are the heir to a distant, secluded empire and the local trusted family advisor says, “don’t worry we’ll make a cult of personality for you.” Do you accept or decline? Why or why not?

    So long as it’s my fursona, the fictional company he/we run(s), and the fictional employees, then sure. Spreading the message of complete open access to knowledge and pirating when the product includes unreasonable things like DRM or something similarly unreasonable in my eyes would definitely be something I approve of being cult material. So long as we don’t have any of the weird doomsday cult stuff, murder/harm innocent people, or have a kool-aide moment, I’d be fine with people remembering me as my fursona for as long as possible.

    I wouldn’t trust this scenario, but do have a complete inability to fly under any radar, so might be ok at being well known. Wouldn’t enjoy it at all but already people remember me, notice me and as my youngest put it, I am persuasive. So it’s hard to move unnoticed through the world, might be able to fill this role, if it’s just a figurehead sort of thing. If it involves governing, no.

    I’m an idiot I had to look up what cult of personality even meant.

    Which means I should be a shoe in for the job. I’ll take it. Let’s have some fun.
