--- Quote from: JimC on 04 Aug 2017, 11:07 ---Cant help thinking Winslow might be better of with generic androgynous chassis with accessories for gender identity. Its just struck me that Winslow's "I think Im a boy" has two entirely different meanings - in Brit English anyway - depending on intonation.

It hints at the idea that AnthroPCs have the same gender identity questions that people face, perhaps even more complex, since they have none of the biological components and their sex is defined entirely by a hardware setting. Since his sex could presumably be changed at will, "I think I'm a boy" suggests that he's not completely sure if either option properly fits him.

Agreed, but there's more than one sort of expensive clothing. How about the purest of materials, the most accurately cut, that sort of thing, rather than thrown together in a far eastern sweatshop garments? And quite possibly guaranteed sewn together by AIs in clean room conditions with no human hand having ever touched them? Every seam perfectly aligned, stitches matching left and right...
-----------------------------
I think I'm a boy (no particular emphasis) - bare statement. That is what I think and I doubt anyone would dispute it.
*I* think I'm a boy (emphasis I) - but other people may disagree.
I *think* I'm a boy (emphasis think) - but I'm by no means certain and could easily be wrong.
I think *I'm* a boy (emphasis I'm) - and by the way that other person we were discussing isn't.
I think I'm *a* boy (emphasis a) - implies there are lots of other boys and nothing special about this one (contrast I think I'm *the* boy).
I think I'm a *boy* (emphasis boy) - tending to aggressive, in your face. Disagree and I'll get angry.
complicated language this english, isn't it!
Is it cold in here?:

(regular user)It's the same for me. It feels like a serious conversation is being interrupted. (/)
Kugai:
Considering Winslow's question in the last Panel, I'm beginning to wonder just how Winslow identifies him'her self now.
Monday's gonna be interesting.
