In short, hellgremlins are a branch of fandom with completely opposite idea of what fluffies are. It's fluffies are as hateable as possible, and it's stories about the evil fluffies abusing other fluffies and humans alike.Long version would be the entire history of how the hellgremlin fandom came to be:After the mods of /mlp/ banned fluffies along with all the other good stuff, there was one guy who believed the fandom couldn't survive without spreading into /b/. The problem is, he was a fan of "justified abuse", a small and resented genre of fluffy stories where the fluffies acted badly so they'd deserve a punishment. This was hated because it went against the central point of fluffies being just undeserving victims of circumstances, but as rare as this was, that one guy posted the same set of images in /b/ several times each day until a whole generation of newfags thought that all the fluffies were heinously evil and the fandom was all about justified retribution against them.This led to a snowball effect where anyone who'd have enjoyed the original fluffies thought the fandom wasn't for them, while those already spending their time screaming at each other in troll threads thought they'd found their home. As this wave of newschool fluffies hit the booru the whole fandom seemed to turn into its polar opposite, and most old artists left in disgust. This new version of fluffies was dubbed "hellgremlins", which the fans of the genre opposed violently because they demanded that their version of fluffies was the true one, and the nice "classic" fluffies were just the same but pretending to be good out of fear of punishment.The hellgremlins pretty much killed the fandom, to the point that when /b/ banned fluffies and the influx of new hellgremlin fans to replace the ones getting bored dried up, there were hardly any original fans left. The fluffybooru became such a wasteland that the admin of the site actually discussed closing it down entirely, but with the hellgremlins gone the original fandom started making a comeback. The daily amounts of new content are a shadow of what it once was, but with new people learning that the original fandom about nice and likable fluffies exists the fandom is surviving nicely.
