...I'm starting to feel really bad for Kass.

>>152634002
At least he's getting a nice relaxing work trip to the land of screeching spastics! He'll be too busy trying to hold back the urge to kill himself and/or every other scav he meets to worry about his personal problems!

>>152634002
After seeing “The Anomaly”, shit like this is really pounding in the idea that Kassen the human may as well be dead and buried since that evening.

>>152634162
Considering the context clues we've gotten so far I doubt it's that extreme. It's actually entirely possible that zat zing may have even been meant for recreational use.

its a polymorphic mutagen intended to convert a sufficient ammount of biomass into a scav. you dont make something like that to just leave around, so it's probably old xenoforming gear or a "medication" intended to be perscribed under controlled conditions. safe and mundane in the same way ammonia and bleach are household chemicals

Did anyone really expect a tf story not to end with the character "accepting their new gender"?

That's how literally every single fucking genderbendshit goes. Every single one. The man "surrenders to his feminine insticts". Because guess what? It's a fetish plot with a fetish story and a fetish resolution. It's all just AGP fetish content.

You're right anons, it's not happening. He's just "coming to terms" that he's not a man, no one sees him as a man, and he will never be man again, but it's not happening! Him finally getting rid of the last thing he had of his male self just to look more feminine? Doesn't count!

>>152636092
>Him finally getting rid of the last thing he had of his male self just to look more feminine?
The hair ties are a compromise. He's not changing his human hairstyle but he still has to put up with another "imposition" from his new body.

>>152636092
Alright nigger, what do you want Kass to do, huh? He's been fighting as hard as possible just to keep his human identity intact, despite literally everything around him trying to push him to accept his new gender and species. And now that he is making temporary contritions for extremely understandable reasons, you're going to reduce it to just fetish content? What, are you going to demand Kass fucking kill himself if he finds out the transformation can't be reversed?

Anon, It's Kass, every conclusion he comes to on his own about this stuff is wrong because he has no idea how to handle any of it. Its just like when he saved that scav kid. He was only doing what he would normally do but he immediately had a mini panic attack because he so paranoid about his own behavior he's constantly second guessing everything he thinks or does.

>>152636592
That's not really an argument for this, althoughbeit. It's not a question whether he is becoming progressively less connected to his identity as a human man. It's a fact. The last chapters were literally him hearing about how nobody sees him as a man anymore and going "welp, i guess they're right"

>>152633987
Don't Val dare touch anything about Kass's hair, it's his best Yinglet part.

Maybe the story isn't a shallow allegory for modern political positions and Kass will deal with the bullshit happening to him according to his character and personality?

>>152636612
>It's not a question whether he is becoming progressively less connected to his identity as a human man. It's a fact.
This is what you're misunderstanding. You're thinking like Kass. His entire identity and sense of self worth were all built around his ability to help others. He was the guy everyone else relied on for, and now that's he's lost that he's completely lost sight of himself. Kass thinking he has to "accept" not being a man anymore is equivalent to a child coming to the conclusion they are now an adult because they had to walk home from school instead of being picked up by their mom.

>>152636793
That's all very nice anon, but in reality he's still doing progressively more feminine things and becoming less thethered to his self as a MAN. Just because he's still got parts of his personality left doesn't mean he isn't becoming detached to the actual "man" parts. Because guess what? That's how EVERY MOTHERFUCKING TF STORY GOES. The man accepts becoming a female.

This would be like if you were reading some femdom comic and going "nuh uh, the protagonist is gonna stop being a pussywhipped submissive any moment now"

Completely unrelated and I am sure no one in this thread will care about it, but today I learned about Milk-Lines.

Basically, you know how some mammals have more than just one pair of breasts? Welp, humans have some vestigial remains of it and they are set on this Milk-Lines in question.

They usually vanish at the foetal stage, only keeping the pair on the chest, but some people will occasionally develop additional ones on those lines.

Yup, it's possible to produce milk out of your armpits.

Again, what would you want him to do otherwise? If Kass accepts being a female, it would not be a cute "tee-hee I have a vagina don't hit on me silly boys" moment. Kass giving up his male identity would essentially be him giving in to despair and very likely becoming suicidal because of it. That is literally the crux of what is happening - every time he feels a feminine urge, or does something that could be considered feminine, he panics because he worries he's going to lose sight of who he really is. Do you seriously believe this shit is going to end with a mindbroken Kass covered in scav cocks while pregnant happily declaring that he will be nothing more than a cumdump for the rest of his days?

>>152636943

Not forcibly. I mean, the technology exist to turn someone into a female Yinglet, there is nothing that is indicative that it's just limited to that.

You know what would be interesting? If at some point, he had to chose between either turning back into a female human, or turning back into a male Yinglet, but he can't have both.

In some web-novel there was a reverse situation: some dude got TF/TG into female of another species. He then proceeds to rape himself in the new pussy with a dildo, and then forces his acquaintance to rape him. The reason? He didn't want to be "gay", so he basically FORCED himself to love males, because he's a female now.

>nta from earlier, but i don't like "just accept it" tf theming, never have.
The example another anon mentioned earlier about it being analogous to losing a limb seems appropriate here. In a situation like what Kass is dealing with, he ultimately has two choices: accept it (which he does not want to do), or hold onto the hope that it can be reversed and very likely fall further and further into despair with each passing day. There really is no middle ground here beyond the one he is currently inhabiting, and if that kind of story isn't your cup of tea that's fine. But there isn't anything inherently wrong with the premise, since as mentioned before it IS something that people have to deal with, albeit in less fantastical ways.

>>152641379
Losing an arm isn't inherently sexual

>>152634002
Nah I'm sure this is fine.

>>152641444
trips of truth
tf fetish isn't a disability allegory

>>152641379
he hasn't succeeded in doing anything to return to some part of his normal life, which is generally considered the healthy thing for people learning to live with a missing limb to do. y'know, focus on the things they can still do.

every single time it's brought into focus it's to force him to acquiesce to some new inexplicable issue with yinglet existence. he's got nothing to anchor him to some kind of normalcy besides his friends, no positive changes to work with, and most of his time is spent being pulled into an entirely new career he is not trained for.

the story we have thus far fits either total acquiescence to answering "scav woman" when asked who he is, or total breakdown and probable suicide attempts when the fear of that happening becomes too real to continue ignoring. in a sense going "full scav" would be a kind of suicide for him, anyway.

because either he isn't feeling that fear, or he's getting by only by ignoring it. can't do that forever.

also, every time Val decides to bring up the mental effects of being a female yinglet it undermines literally every other potential plot direction besides "he'll become a scav woman who happened to have been human once but no longer cares, and likes it, actually", usually for cheap "lol, yinglets stupid" jokes. this is a theme in other yinglet transformation art Val has made. it also makes the transformation more like transmissible dementia - and the aging process of yinglets we're given suggests that's pretty much inevitable for them anyway.

>>152641688
What you're missing is that Kass wasn't normal. His "normal" was being the guy everyone relied on as everything else in life was constantly falling apart. And now that he's physically incapable of being that guy hes left twisting in the wind. He can't just go back to normal because his normal was fucked up to begin with and now he doesn't even have that.

>>152641861
i didn't say "normal life" anon, I said "HIS normal life"

regardless, again, losing a limb is not a proper comparison.

and the whole yinglet dementia thing means his acceptance is irrelevant. via that mechanism, his "self" is dying with his self-image whether he cares or not, but it'll die a hell of a lot faster if he stops caring.

people need to learn to sometimes take stuff like this at face value and not process all fiction looking to contrive real-world metaphors out of it.

>>152642004
My point is that HIS normal life isn't something that he can recreate in his current situation. Everything is different now and he's having trouble coping, both as a human and as a scav. The obvious end point of Kassens current "arc" isn't acceptance or "giving up" is finding a healthy baseline for himself period.
>spoiler
Kass will likely avoid the yinglet dementia problem. His scav genetics predate the 100 years of genetic mutation thatvthe rest of their population has gone through.

>>152642104
by yinglet dementia i mean the general effects on his mind of being a yinglet. that's been repeatedly implied to be there and undermines anything but the "furry genderbend tf fetish story" label, because that enforces acceptance of the new identity (not just the new status quo) by mechanistically/biologically creating it.

also, your suggestion is not really the obvious end when, as you say, any possible healthy baseline for Kassen as an individual is inaccessible to him. it's not completely categorical but it's close, and we are reminded of this often. no, the more consistent endpoint given other things Val has created is a complete readjustment of the definition of "healthy baseline" to "accept living as a scav," which is not only unhealthy if Kass wishes to remain even remotely who he is as a person, but literally an existential threat to his identity.

is Val equipped to handle this compellingly? so far, IMO, no. Kass' arc is a very long-winded furry genderbend tf fetish story, and it hasn't shaken that label in the slightest. the more compelling bits are the pieces of world building that have the least to do with Kass or yinglets, with the singular exception of the brief aside about the "hole." it's an autistic exploration of the mechanical details and consequences of a tf story, sure, but its idea of emotional depth there is usually just misery porn or mean spirited comedy.

I'm sorry anon but I don't thinking you're correct. I think you're allowing your preconceived notions of content like this to shape your perception of events in this comic instead of taking them at face value. Kassens story is an attempt at fully exploring what this kind of transformation would do to a person, there will inevitably be adjustments and sacrifices but val is not taking us down the path of least resistance here.

>>152642283
How does one put their sexual fetish into a story without it becoming tedious for readers who do not share that fetish? Can it be done?

>>152642353
i've seen this play out before in miniature in works from this very author. i am taking that fact at face value.

i would be less inclined to do so if the throughline for the work over the years wasn't consistently, "Kass is not allowed to get any wins whatsoever in this subject matter." for fuck's sake, anon, there isn't even to my recollection a trivial moment of, "oh hey, yinglet anatomy does provide this minor benefit i can leverage." their primary diet rendering them as incapacitated as somebody on heroin isn't a win, it's a joke at their (and Kass') expense.

i really don't know how much longer i'm gonna give this whole thing before i bail. i've left it before and come back years later to more of the same as far as Kass is concerned. i enjoyed the other plotlines, but not sure if it was enough to make up for its slow release schedule and its other issues.

>>152642466
certainly. the usual solution is not to make it a persistent focus, or at least not to constantly obsess over it in the narrative. certain fetishes work better than others for compelling stories.

there are probably fetishes that just don't work at all, though (tf isn't one of those, at least)

>i would be less inclined to do so if the throughline for the work over the years wasn't consistently, "Kass is not allowed to get any wins whatsoever in this subject matter."
The big "'win" is that he's made it, and has taken his freinds and countrymen with him. Everyone's lives are now better because of what he is doing right now. That is the victory here. Being a yinglet is not a good thing, but hes been given an opportunity to make something out of it. It seems to me the reason you feel so bothered by what he's going through is because you've already decided what the outcome will be and are automatically viewing everything that happens as proof of that outcome. If you can't let that go then I don't know what to tell you.

>OOPs is not as different as you think.
The fact that you think that is very telling.
>do you really think even an emotionally intact, human Kass would consider that a win?
Anon, they were living in a halfway house doing grunt work with the exact same risks. Yes the benefits of kassens new position are very much a win here. I'm not saying they counteract his personal struggles but they are a tangible benefit of his current condition. The kind of "win" I presume you're looking for is eventually going to happen, but only once Kass finally manages to get a grip on the situation which is still a ways off.
>you're too hyperfocused on the career portion of the needs pyramid here while the foundation is being undermined for humor and smut.

i want you to point exactly on the doll to where i directly said where the comic was going to go without couching it in language that opened the possibility that it wouldn't.

sometimes with these things there's an ESL barrier at play, no judgement.

my first complaint is literally about "the story we have thus far" for fucks sake >>152641688

the other anon either wasn't reading my replies carefully or making shit up. splitting out and responding to chunks of sentences is often evidence of the former. note the use of the word "often" here means it is only a suspicion, and not a direct accusation. stay tuned for replies.

i won't be making any, though, it's almost 1am and i've decided to bail on this webcomic because its fans suck ass.

>>152638939
The irony is that if we take the non-canon “what-if” comics that Val made as any realistic indication, Kass would have been one of the better choices to be a Yinglet ambassador due to his stubborn self-identity retention keeping him from giving into most of his new impulses and allowing him to passably act human enough among the scavs. Elim would have hypothetically settled into being an Yinglet far faster than due to Kass being there as emotional support, which means less mental turmoil but also being much less mentally there by comparison, Isher would still be as shy and unhappy at her self-image, she’d just be pissed at being a giant compared to the other Yinglets, Yannit would be…well, Yannit. And Ran would have become the biggest boy slut in all of Val Salia for the sake of science.

>>152634002
It gets even worse when you realize he has only 10 to 15 years left to live as well, due to the natural lifespan of yinglets maxing out at like 30.
And I don't think he even truly realized this yet.

To contribute in an actual bit more constructive way to the discussion, this is how Kass actually looks like with the hair-rings.

Not much of a departure from his usual style, IMO

(additionally, this is also how he looks like where he is finally about to completely break down, seeing we are also talking about that).

>There is no precedent
Viracroix is definitely lying, there.
He definitelly knew about the recent finding of the artefact as well as its actual potential, otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a standing order about reporting anyone asking about Yinglet transformation in the first place.

There HAS To have been precedents and he knew about it.

There is no other explanation for such a precise order to exist that actually make sense.

>>152648797
I don't think he specifically knew about that specific artifact I think there was a standing order to report ANY weirdness involving yinglets. I think he's aware that scavs have been collecting antiquities, and I'm 90% sure his motivation for getting cozy with vizlet is to one day gain access to the central enclaves, but I don't think he knows everything about what's going on.

>>152643784
Dude, just stop reading- nobody here is telling you that you SHOULD read it or that this is a comic you should enjoy.

It's not some commitment you're bound to, you're not paying a subscription for media that promised to be the kind of story you enjoy but isn't fulfilling the promises it sold itself to you as.

You lose absolutely nothing by simply not reading this one piece of media out of hundreds of millions available to you. There's a whole world out there, go, find something that you enjoy!

Otherwise, it's like you hate romantic comedies- and you see a poster for a new romantic comedy, and your choice is to say "Oh I bet I'd hate that," but then proceed to sit down for 90 minutes to watch it while saying how much you hate it, and then afterwards, telling everyone how much you hated it.

If reading this thing is filling you with the need to argue with people on the internet until 1am, then just change the channel, man

>>152648797
Given the level of autism in this thread I don't think subtextual implications like this are something certain anons are going to be aware of.

I mean, for goodness sake, somebody in this thread had an honest-to-god "uhm it's not ackshually ALWAYS" nitpicker moment earlier. That's like meme tier autism.

>>152648797
If I recall, there's been a standing office that works in Antiquities; additionally, this happens right about the time Viracroix is attempting to work with the local Yinglet enclave. I don't think there's a protocol for this exact situation, since the record-keeper fucked off for an extended period of time, but it was Antiquity-adjacent enough to catch attention. He's probably telling the truth in someone being transformed like this is unprecedented.

Pretty much all of the creature designs got updated over time to include more detail and a better sense of scale. Yinglet "hands" were one of the first things he improved on, since when the comic started val drew them so small they didn't really have any features at all. Also fun fact, did you know isher didn't get her raptor talons until page 43 (81 pages into the comic)

It's funny seeing some of the comments on this comic in the places it gets posted to. There's a lot of projection in them sometimes.

I4ll probably storytime A Kat's God-Awfull Blessing on /co/ at some point, even get to make its own dedicated threads whenever it update afterwards, but until then...

Is that good or bad advice?

>>152654382
If you’re interested in it enough to do an entire storytime thread, you might as well. With how many shit threads there are on this board, it’s at least a subject dedicated to a webcomic.

>>152654431
Main problem is that I have to basically piece together each pages because not only does Webtoon not allow to just right-click and save and it's a pain-in the ass to get the image (have to basically download the whole html page), but it also has each page separated in little bit and I have to piece them back together. Might take a while.

They clearly enjoy or see some substance out of the given story or they wouldn't care so much as to discuss it in depth. Shutting down conversation by telling another to merely consume some other media as product is both disrespectful to them and to writing as a discipline.

Once again, when you argue for inevitability, the absolute is meant literally.

>>152656079
That's what I'm getting at, it's not just attention spans it's the content they're being exposed to as well. If the only comic media you're exposed to are short form gag, porn, and political comics, that becomes your baseline for everything. So now we have a growing population of people online who try to force everything into those boxes because they don't know anything else.

>>152633987
huh

>>152658061
There's little difference between the young people and the old people right now in this regard. Facebook reels have brain-rotted the elderly just as much as tiktok has for the kids.
What's utterly bizarre is that the old people should remember a time when they themselves had more of an attention span.

As for the little boxes, I think I blame TV tropes for that a little (I think OOPs is actually listed on there). If you label something, you can also mislabel it. If all people have are mislabels, then of course they'll call an apple a grape.

It's cool seeing all these human kass panels again

Welp, this page pretty much confirmed for me that the ancestors of the planet went through an extinction event and engineered both the yinglet race and flora that would support the yinglet race in a barren environment.
Everything from yinglet instincts to flora seeds ensuring they can prosper wherever they go was most likely engineered by design.
And 'zat zhing' was probably a way for those who wanted to survive to transform themselves into yinglets.

My headcanon tells me that not every ancestor agreed and engineered their own "solution" to the extinction event, ranging from lifeforms that dig into the earth to hide, to those that would be strong enough to take whatever they wanted from others.
The remaining humans probably created stasis pods or the extinction event wasn't as severe as they thought and survived that way.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

>>152663448
I think this page >>152663621 provides the answer, it can't pump water up slopes and probably not very far from the coast.

I disagree. I believe baxxids, indrel, the bug oxen and most forms of life are native, and human settled the planet to conduct genetics research (but like, in a controlled environment. they didn't go around changing things willy-nilly) which include the yinglets. something happened in space that cut off contact and humans had to adapt and spread around, forgetting their roots. the lab with the yinglet genes malfunctioned at some point and spawned them in.

The real problem Kass has is that his "normal" is living as the middle son of a minor merchant family while helping to raise his younger siblings and work at the family business. If he'd been transformed in Dinlan, he might have had a normal life to try to adapt to. As it is, Being transformed into a Scav bitch is just one more fucked up thing he has to deal with. Ironically, his education and experience working in the family tradehouse might actually partly qualify him for the Diplomat role he's been thrown into, though.

The thing the anomaly did do was make it quite clear there's no going back, not by that tech. We saw what it did when organic mass wasn't equal to requirements and it wasn't pretty.

>>152671187
Not necessarily. The same tech would almost certainly work to turn him back into a human it would likely just be much slower and require him to take in more mass, likely through eating a lot of food.

>>152671296
Of the organisms without sufficient mass to turn into yinglets, it produced horrifying partial forms. It didn't wait around for them to eat food.

>>152671363
We are very obviously not seeing the original context in which this tech was originally used in or the scope to which it was developed. Saying this technology can't make him human again at this point in the story is like assuming no computer on earth can calculate a number with more than 5 digits because that's all the broken dollar store calculator you found on the side of the road can do.

>>152671363
>>152671502
since we don't know how it works or what it was originally intended for, there's any number of things it might do. hell, it might still be dormant in his system, waiting for some undisclosed trigger to start turning him back, because it was always designed to be temporary in the first place.

we just don't know enough to say either way, and the setting's tech level is not conducive to finding an answer quickly.

Humans would be interested in martial exchanges even in times of peace, I think, and the idea of discussing the concept of combat training with Baxxid (who can ****ing SPIT ACID, aside from the superior mass, ability and duel disembowling claws.

The Baxxid seem to outclass humans in SO many ways, (aside from tool use) I'm sure the inferiority complex of at least some humans would make for interesting cultural exchanges when the higher goal is mutual improvement of capabilities and strategies.

I've always thought of it more like "Can drool calcium de-bonding enzymes" more than actually spitting a melt-all acid.
But giving baxxid the Betcher's Gland would be rad.

And the Ivenmoth humans have "fought" together with the baxxid in the past, so some sort of joint warfare training must be/have been conducted.
And the whole red-flag baxxid city guard staff work together with human guards for many years. Surely there must be official training, and possibly even the rare instance of friendly mock-sparring and, at the very least, joking comparisons of combat prowess and technique.

In addition, the baxxid still remember, and perhaps still smart a little, from the humans defeating them through tactics, equipment, stamina and probably just good old experience of never-ending large-scale warfare. So I'm sure there is some form of inferiority complexes and waryness going the other way as well.

The point (in my head)
is that they COULD kill humans in LOTS and LOTS of ways.

They have superior mass. They can sever human limbs BY ACCIDENT.

They have improved peripheral.
They have armour, size, mass.

They have (mostly) foresworn violence, but that doesn't mean humans aren't incredibly interested in it
(and by extension want to know just HOW outclassed by Baxxid they are, and if theres anything at all that can be done to compensate for it).

I think these games (because they would have to be 'play fights') would need the Baxxid made less lethal just to start off with.

The humans have crafting skills to trade to the Baxxid, but first order would be building 'human carapaces' to reduce the lethality of even 'safe' games with humans.

Humans trying to devise ANY techniques to overcome all the ways Baxxid can outclass them is of great interest to me.

I'm sure I could be convinced to trade 6 hours of my time crafting for two hours of 'simulated combat games' against Baxxid.
Perhaps thats just cause of how I'm wired, but I'm looking for SOMETHING that can be done against their many trumps.

I think its two armored and augmented (armed?) humans for every Baxxid,
who has already agreed to peace pad their claws, not spit acid in their eyes,
not burrow under them and Emerge like a deathworm from 'Tremors' and drag us into pits, and the fact that they need so many handicaps just to play with two of us would be embarrassing to the Baxx.

I suspect there would be standing orders to not remind the humans just how horribly outclassed they are by active Baxxid.
Only their (vulnerable) 'Hibernating Ancestors' present any kind of weakness to exploit.

I can even imagine the Baxxid trying to help the humans devise at least SOME strategems to overcome their relative weaknesses
(even as they find these 'pillowfights' with all their real capabilities muted tiresome).

Weren't they warring previously, resulting in the Baxxid getting their shit wrecked? Being a walking tank with spears on your arms doesn't mean jack shit when a line of ballistas and bowmen would stop you from getting anywhere near close enough to use them.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that essential tremors can be found in a number of people with neurological condition, and that such tremors can often be mistaken for stimming due to how similar they appear.

>>152677838
Dammit, I thought I fixed that. It's lordmagicpants.

I mean, baxxid ARE vastly superior.

>>152677880
The Baxxid DID call for a truce/ceasefire and offered terms, rather than risk exposing their key hive.
They're a bigger species,
so i figure the humani have them in a societal sense, in the same way that the scavs can outperform the humans
(and its a similar numbers game.
Human vs Skav, Baxxid vs Human, the comparisons are fair.

The humans have tool use and mechanism and design which impresses the Baxxid, but lets not kid ourselves.
Every single one of them IS a walking tank.
Ballistas aren't as scary when they can be burrowed under.
Bowmen have less power when they can be... burrowed under.
Perhaps I'm overestimating the power of Baxxid burrow powers, to be fair, but its another 'trump' card like having acidic spit, multiple eyes, built in deathspears etc.

The humans have EMPIRE (according to the west coast of that map) which indicates they have a scale that the Baxxid cannot match.

Burrowing is slow and you are trapped in a vulnerable position when you surface.

Why surface? You can literally make holes to pull things under into.

Think Trapdoor spiders with the ability to plan a collapse pit.

The humans have them beat on missile weapons tho, thats an interesting point.

What can the humans do about burrowers other than (predictably) move to certain terrains?
When your opponent knows your next move already you're at a big disadvantage.

Again, you're underestimating hands. Hands are the joker here to baxxid trumps. It's like fielding an army entirely of tanks. Not just your infantry, but your entire supply train and support network and civilian infrastructure as well - just tanks. Nothing else. You'd be proper fucked.

I'll admit the baxxid seem less reliant on food since they have this mysterious disperse-gorge-coalesce cycle so they probably don't have to rely on supply trains specifically as much as we do. People with hands are still going to wreck them. Over the long-term I don't think it's even a contest.

One of these, I guess. Plus eternal vigilance.

the toaster fucker community would support that webcomic it's not the strangest idea out there

The medicos say "maybe". Basically, insufficient studies. There's a correlation between autism and Parkinson's, which - point of order - is not essential tremor.

>>152678221
Such a small mind.

>>152678414
Yeah I know but I usually compare it to Parkinson's because more people are familiar with it. I inherited both the tism and the tremor from my mom.

Fucking fetish garbage.

Reminds me of the "I'm immortal so I participate in snuff fetishes, but actualy die this time". Reeks of insecurity in ones kinks and a grasping attempt to make thier unethical desires ethical.

from the DA's description:
>In these guy's defense, god spirits are exceedingly rare. There's only a few thousand on the planet, so running into one is like having an encounter with bigfoot.

>>152678686
I'm not sure what you're on about but I don't think most people care if their kinks are ethical when presented in fiction. Like, rape, daddy daughter shit... it's at least half the point, isn't it?

>anons act like oops is as bad as every furry fetish webcomic
weird larp but go on

>>152678735
Thats a fucking cope, and a demonstrationyou are lying, illiterate or stupid.

Rabies is rarer than that, so you think I sould ever tell a child to fucking pet all wildlife? Would a fucking court accept that?

>>152678739
Some people clearly do. Then why else make these exceedingly retarded scenarios that want to escape these judgements?

>>152678917
They're horny. You're overthinking it. The scenario is whatever makes them horniest.

>>152678903
>Thats a fucking cope
Not really. That's just as valid as any explanation in a fictional setting.

>Rabies is rarer than that
Have you seen the amount of people who will just try and pet cats they randomly encounter just because they seem cute and friendly? You are not making a point with that.

>>152678941
The simulated risk is the exciting part for them

>>152678972
Those are adults dealing with socialized cats they have previous experice with, not parents telling children to touch a specific entity that will fucking transform them.

Petting a stray you know, in a staged video is not equivalent to an adult effectivly throwing a kid to a rabid bear.

>>152678735
He didn't even say "don't touch them if they have a face".

>>152679018
>not parents telling children to touch a specific entity
Both of those characters in that comic are adults. She is a Uni student. How did you not get that?

>>152679070
Because he had never encountered a God before and didn't thought it would ever occur.

>>152679089
He has the authority and knowledge over her. If you can use bad analogies, I can use good ones.

>>152679102
I've never encountered rabies. I still don't pet wildlife.

>>152679133
>He has the authority and knowledge over her.
That still doesn't undermind what I said there >>152678972
>Have you seen the amount of people who will just try and pet cats they randomly encounter just because they seem cute and friendly
You are not making a point.

>>152679152
But many people will pet cat they don't know that they encounter. And cat can transmit rabies too.

>>152679018
Not gonna contradict or even touch your other stuff but the rabid animal thing is a reach and you know it. Intellectual honesty.

>>152679102
Ok so parents don't tell thier kids about poison ivy/oak/sumack when taking a walk in the woods, because it's so rare?

>>152679133
>I can use good ones.
You didn't use a good analogy.

>>152679181
It's not that rare actually. And what you say there, doesn't really contradict the explanation.

>>152679179
Rabies is rare, and dangerous
The god cloud is "rare", and dangerous
It's a direct analogy

>>152679201
And despite Cats being able to transmit rabies, many people will pet random cats they encounter in the street with zero consideration of catching rabies.
