What? I really do hope you're not referring to what I think you are..

--- Quote from: IrrationalPie on 02 Sep 2011, 03:52 ---It may be just me, but once Momo got her new body I started viewing her as a person rather than an Anthro-PC.
It now feels weird to me that Marigold owns Momo; it's slavery.
The size difference shouldn't have altered my opinion or view but did.
This was brought to my mind in today's comic, where Momo is just staring at Marigold because she has nothing else to do.
Her life is entirely devoted to Marigold, and that's somewhat disturbing to me now.

She doesn't own "Momo" though. She may technically have a sort of landlord-tenant relationship with the entity that is "Momo-tan" in respect of her current body/housing, but that's hardly slavery. As for how she came to be introduced to Momo-the-AI in the first place is more like a sort of dating service; you pay a fee to a broker who finds an AI companion for you who, given Leda's and Charlotte's tales, apparently volunteers for the role and goes home with you on a "trial basis" for which the terms are particularly generous according to Jeph; zero-notice from either party for a full refund.

I hope she gets smart and stops talking to Faye, too.

Did Marigold even really like Angus? If anything, she did only because he was there and there were no other guys in the picture.
How again would their relationship work out? Has Angus shown any interest in any of Marigold's hobbies? Look, if Marigold was still sad about it I'd suggest she move out but we haven't heard a peep from her to others or internal monologue about him. She wasnt in love with him, but you're trying to compare this situation with one where the girl was in love. It doesn't work here.
--- Quote from: Blackjoker on 02 Sep 2011, 03:30 ---Actually this is kind of a weird thought, how would Momo view the new body in terms of what it means. She can't just fit on a dresser and if she does 'sleep' or enter a kind of debug mode (not sure where but Pintsize mentions that he doesn't dream so AnthroPCs might not dream) it might be weird for her to not be near Marigold. All I can reccomend in such a situation are penguins and hats, not sure they would help, just that they might add a new dimension to the situation.

Well she better do something, as it is she's just wasting electricity. Go sit in the corner, plug yourself in, and hibernate already!

Well, if Anthro-PCs would be people their treatment would indeed violate human rights.
As they are some kind of machines, no matter how lifelike Jeph portrays them, they arent sentient and they are ultimately tools to serve mankind.

If you will allow me, could I please direct your attention to Exhibit A: The Measure of a Man
By claiming that they're tools, you are presenting essentially the same argument as Cmdr. Bruce Maddox, who himself (somewhat ironically) was a tool. Therefore, your argument is invalid.
