el-futile

commonly known as futile, and ancient Egyptian microbe that has evolved in a way to penetrate digital systems. It can be seen online in steam for hours and lays dormant for sometime until prey appear in order to latch on to them. It is able to send false thoughts as a way to delude it's host into thinking it's a good microbe that "supports" it's hosts, but actually slowly degrades their physical and mental health. Can be seen using support as a way to mooch off nutrients of it's hosts. When discovered will deny everything that has been seen by multiple people. It is allergic to Russians and seem to be offended by their existence.
