I think the reason characters like Flippy, Splendid, and Buddhist Monkey are unfit to exist in Happy Tree Friends universe is for the same reason any superpowered beings that aren't Pokemon, Digimon, and Dudes in High-tech Exoskeleton(unless described as Toku characters) are unfit to exists in Pokemon Anime world, Digimon Adventure universe, and our world respectively?

I don't understand, please explain your reasoning. Isn't every character judged "unfit to exist" by the animators at least once every five episodes?

"Unfit to Exist" here means completely "out of place"

Is it because of their unusual amount of backstory or character development?

HTF? Wait - Happy Tree Friends?

Jeez, reaching deep into the 2000s bag there. I didn't even know HTF was still a thing.

perhaps both, but likely it's because of their asskicking capability

Oh boy, haven't thought about HTC in some time. Mainly cause I haven't seen a new episode in years...does mondo even make those anymore?

I don't know who Splendid was, was he the candy obsessed one? I don't remember the monkey interacting with any of the main characters, but Flipping totally fits. He's seen the brutality of war first hand, so you could argue all his flashbacks happened and he just sees the danger of everyday life and can't stop thinking about the worst case scenario for all the events we see kill everyone 3 times a week. His mental breaks could just be his imagination going into overdrive as a coping mechanism for events he can't just walk away from.

Splendid are one that like DC Comics' Superman and the candy obsessed one are lime squirrel named Nutty

Could somebody explain this thread in normalese?
Happy Tree Friends. Its for people who thought Foamy the Squirrel was too intellectual and Sponge Bob didn't have enough homosexual overtones. Also its super violent and every cute fluffy character dies an exaggeratedly horrible, painful and gorey death, like deepthroating a blender or getting caught under a Zamboni or slowly boiling to death over a long labor day weekend.
And I guess OP thinks some of them had too much backstory or something...

Actually, Characters like Flippy, Splendid, and Buddhist Monkey are like Superpower characters in universes like Pokemon Anime(one that features Ash), Digimon Adventure/02/Tri, and Ours(when it's anything other than Pokemons, Digimons, and ordinary guys in mechanical suits respectively) *mind-raped to death*

I'm with you here. Like when the fuck did Happy Tree Friends get any kind of a plot/story? And didn't it disappear like at least a decade ago?

Pretty sure this counts as a thread necro, which is against the rules. I mean, too late now. But worth mentioning. I believe the time is 1 month? I could be wrong, but I can't find anything to correct my guess. Just keep it in mind for next time

He posts the exact same thread about once a year anyway. This or something about crossovers.

I can't lie though, there's something about his... Honesty? Nievete? That I find refreshing.

It's three in the morning, and I'm tired as fuck, but I think I deciphered what OP tried to convey.

He thinks characters like the PTSD-ridden war veteran, the superhero, or the Buddhist monk fit poorly into the ensemble of Happy Tree Friends because they all have the capacity (and propensity) to easily kill other characters, while the original concept of the show was to have the characters die in gruesome, albeit accidental, manners, manners that do not involve the supernatural either.
