everybody loves polls, right?
cause i got one for all of you, and it's important.

"clones are an abomination": Y/N/elaborate your thoughts

figured this might be a timely question to ask, you know, considering the asteroid's a goddamn genetic nursery.

You are as subtle as a brick to the head.

[nishizono]

don't know any other way to be!
and you didn't answer the poll.

[takeitslow]

Abomination against what?

[nishizono]

the existence of humans, or something like that. whatever it means to you.

got two cents you wanna throw in?

[inconsequence]

All living things are abominations by default..

[nishizono]

congrats, you're a universal asshat.

you have a point, though.

[nishizono]

don't hold back on my account.

[archea]

Clones are people too, right? I mean, they don't exist in my world outside of fiction, but I guess that's the gist of it.

[nishizono]

you're funny.

if clones are people, why not just call them people?

[ensorceler]

[ Absolutely everything this guy said is giving Anne waking nightmares, or rather, flashbacks. And she only just arrived! ]

The clones I have known of were monsters born of hubris and tragedy. Am I to believe that attempts made here will take a different path?

[nishizono]

[ he technically is a walking nightmare, so this is par for the course. ]

"hubris and tragedy" is everything that makes up the history of mankind.

i don't know why you're asking me like you're expecting things to be any different.

[warandpeace]

They're people.

But also I've not met one without some sort of creator or parental problems. I suspect not many get the luxury of being intended to live actual lives.

[nishizono]

it's kinda hard not to have parent issues when they're the ones who usually, you know, kill them.

really challenges the whole "they're people" thing.

If you start trouble with any of them, know that they have others to back them up.

Just a friendly FYI.

[ You know, from your friendly neighborhood sniper. ]

[nishizono]

[ what a friendly leatherface, aw. ]

what, the aliens? wait, we're all aliens here. you mean the asteroid guys? i'm not that stupid. i don't even have a rocket launcher.

text, says it's from Jane Shepard

[petridish]

Y but the people who make them are worse.

[nishizono]

[ So this is the other one. ]

fuck yeah they are. anyone who thinks otherwise usually dies first, in my experience.

Really, if you start being cruel to people because they happen to be based on the code of other people, isn't everyone in trouble? Let's not start.

[nishizono]

you say that like that's not been the way things are for people since time immemorial.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

depends
define clone

[nishizono]

a copy of something, identical in all aspects outside of the expiration date.

[polyphobic]

They're still people.

[nishizono]

not to most people. you can relate?

.text

[ultravires]

No. They can be useful and necessary. Although, I wonder what a "clone" consists of?

[nishizono]

you tell me, i'd like to hear what other people think a clone makes up as.

[pleasereset]

[...]

No, they're not. It's not like they can help it if they exist.

[nishizono]

and that's the tragedy to it, huh?

voice;

[worn_wings]

Clones of assholes are probably still assholes.

[ GUESS WHO'S HERE TO never BE USEFUL. ]

[nishizono]

[ Still a useless person, check this guy out. At least he's consistent. ]

so they get a free pass on attitude? good to know.

[ So someone else is seriously disturbed by what they found on that asteroid, huh? Snake can't say he's surprised. There's no way he would be the only one rubbed the wrong way by it. When he sees that it's Tetora, that kid he ran into who also did Ingress security work, he's even more compelled to respond.

Not that he wants to give anything away, exactly. But it isn't often that this is such a pertinent subject either. ]

I think it's more the people creating the clones that we should take issue with. A clone doesn't ask to be made.

[nishizono]

[ It's not hard to be disturbed by the asteroid shit; it's as recent as anything to Tetora, having gotten to the Ingress right after getting shot up by friendly fire as it is. The antiseptic smell burns, even if it's half a memory and half an imagined scent triggered by the sight of gene therapy shit.

He up and left the asteroid soon as he realized what he was looking at. ]

sure. yet everybody expects them to be okay with being unmade, too.
