Dull The Corners
Grej is a fan-created side story of the Jreg universe that began in early 2020.
When the Centricide began, the political compass collapsed for a brief moment. The ideologies not just beyond the fringe of the Overton Window, but beyond the political compass itself, briefly became viable. From this, a leader more powerful than the spirits possessing Greg Guevara came into being as an independent lifeform: The Anti-Realist. Opposed to the idea of realism or practicality in political discussion, the Anti-Realist desires to remove logic, facts, and reason from political discussion altogether and lead it into a realm of utter chaos. For this, he recruited Social Darwinism (The personification of pure rightism), Communalism (The personification of pure leftism), Egoism (The personification of pure individualism), and IngSoc (The personification of pure authoritarianism) in order to destroy the political compass once and for all.
The forces of realism are now forced to unite to defeat this threat, comprising Realistic Realism, Inversive Realism, Moralism, Orwellian Realism, and Boring Mole. Will they be able to defeat this threat, or will the world fall into a state of anti-realism dictated entirely by nonsensical ideologies? Only time will tell.
In early 2021, the Grej team began distancing themselves from Jreg. The reason for such is not public. In mid-2021, Realicide was officially cancelled. In total, there had been 3 episodes released with shorts in between.

Tropes regarding this series:
- Assimilation Plot: People accuse Communalism of trying to do this, but they reject claims of such.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Off-compass ideologies in general.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Yes, Darwinism is willing to brutally murder and consume anything he can. If you consider that evil then he's the evillest motherfucker in the whole world.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Darwinism constantly says both profanity and slurs, and he doesn't much care what people make of him for that.
- Cold Ham: Ingsoc never raises his voice for anything, but still projects a profound level of cruelty and authority within his dry monotone.
- Deadpan Snarker: Darwinism is a rather evil example.
- Foil: The off-compasses serve as this for the extremists.
- Communalism shares Ancom's non-binary gender, but only because they believe themselves to be multiple people in the same body. As opposed to Ancom and Tankie, they're extremely hesitant to violence but seem even less sure than Ancom as to how their system could actually function. While they're not an anarchist, their non violent tendencies harken back to how Tankie criticize Ancom for trying to keep people in line without a state in the Political Compass Rap.
- Social Darwinism is a Politically Incorrect Villain similar to Nazi, but he doesn't believe it out of any identity positions, but simply because he believes that minorities are weak and he can take them over. Unlike Ancap, he rejects the idea of non-aggression and simply desires to walk over anyone that he feels it would benefit him to do so.
- Ing-Soc sees authoritarianism as a correct end unto itself, as opposed to Tankie and Nazi, who attempted to justify their positions under some greater purpose than the crushing heel of the state (Whether for a white ethnostate or to achieve communism.) He's also one for Nazbol, the other "auth unity" and "auth center" ideology. Nazbol however is only considered auth center since there's no way to graph being economically left and culturally right on the compass, and Nazbol is still guided under the principle that totalitarianism is how one achieves an ethno worker's state. Ingsoc meanwhile is pure authcenter, not concerned with economics or social policy that doesn't benefit the state.
- Egoism has the dapper sense and fashion of libright, but has a far more relaxed and less flamboyant personality, and rejects his ideals because he believes property rights are completely subjective "spooks" that don't exist outside of arbitrary jurisdiction. He dislikes Ancom as well because quee places importance on people other than the individual's ego.
- Mind Hive: Communalism doesn't use they/them pronouns because they're non-binary, it's because they are literally multiple people in the same physical form.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Darwinism, as much as if not more so than Nazi, as well as Ingsoc (but only if it's politically expedient for them.)
- Posthumous Character: Occam's Realist (who believed the best solution was probably the simplest one) bled to death after being attacked by a razor.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
- Censure Authoritarian gives one to Ingsoc for wanting to set up a system that cannot work.
Censure Authoritarian: A STATE THAT FORCES ITS CITIZENS TO HOLD TWO CONTRADICTORY VALUES IS ONE THAT CANNOT STAND. IT'S FAR MORE SUSTAINABLE TO CREATE PROPAGANDA OUT OF FALSE NARRATIVES. ADDITIONALLY, IT'S POINTLESS TO STRIP YOUR SO-CALLED LEADER OF ANY HUMANITY BY MAKING HIM NOTHING MORE THAN A MUSTACHE AND A SCREEN. THE MOST EFFECTIVE DICTATORS ARE THE CHARISMATIC HEADS OF A CULT OF PERSONALITY THAT EXAGGERATES THEIR ABILITIES. LOOK AT NORTH KOREA. OR RUSSIA. OR AMERICA. IT'S FAR MORE EFFECTIVE TO LIE TO THE PEOPLE THAN IT IS TO MAKE THEM LIE TO THEMSELVES. WHEN PEOPLE HEAR A LIE, THEY ASSUME IT'S TRUE. WHEN PEOPLE LIE TO THEMSELVES, THEY KNOW IT'S FALSE. LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU WANT A SOCIETY DESIGNED TO FAIL. JUST BECAUSE I'M ON THE EDGE OF THE COMPASS DOESN'T MEAN MY IDEOLOGY CAN'T EXIST IN REALITY. TRUST ME. IT DOES.- Darwinist gives one to Ahospice for denying that the latter's views are in any way like the former's.
Ahospice: For the last time, I'm not a darwinist!!! I care about people!!! I don't think I'm "Genetically superior" to others!!!Darwinist: Right, right, of course. You just want your kids to be genetically superior to others. You want them to be perfect fucking angels. You want them to have perfect genes, and perfect grades, and never have any icky vaccines in their perfect bloodstreams. Your supposed "Care" for these kids does nothing but protect them from the real world. If you really love them, KAREN, do what a real parent would do.Ahospice: And... What would that be?Darwinist: Hand them a GODDAMN shotgun, coward.Ahospice: You're insane!!! In your perfect world, so many innocent children would be dead, and none of their parents would be able to protect them!Darwinist: Exactly! Because all protecting kids does is preserve the weak. It produces spoiled brats, like all these millenials, and brain-dead tiktok-ers. It degenerates, and disintegrates our culture. It makes us PATHETIC. Tell you what, Ahospice. You're an antivaxxer. You like quotes from people pretending to be scientists. So here's one for ya. "The law of survival of the fittest was not made by man, and it cannot be abrogated by man. We can only, by interfering with it, produce the survival of the unfittest." - William Graham Sumner. And by "taking care" of all these kids, by using your bullshit fake-science to justify your shit-tier pseudo-darwinism, you do nothing but make a mockery of me. You do nothing but produce the survival of the unfit. And I can't have that, f***. - Shrinking Violet: Moralism usually talks in an incredibly shy and dulcet tone that still annoys Realistic Realism due to their overly quizzical and emphatic nature.
- Token Evil Teammate: Social Darwinist is presented as the most obviously terrible anti-realist, and shares the worst points of both Nazi and Ancap with none of the good. Ingsoc and Egoist at least have restraints on when to attack people based on whether it's good for the state or if it benefits the ego.
- Token Good Teammate: Communalist is the only member of the group with anything resembling a moral code, although it's a sense of morality that's more similar to a eusocial species than humans. In essence, Communalist suffers more from Good Is Dumb as it's highlighted their ideology would fall apart the fastest given the reference to hoarding in the real world.
- Voice Grunting: The sole way that The Mole communicates, although everyone in the anti-anti-realist squad understands him fine.
