Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT strips 3751-3755 (28th May to 1st June 2018)
A small perverse otter:
Should we discuss the question of Faye and Bubbles in bed without talking about the details of the process in the "real world"? Whatever the dynamics of sex between humans are or are not, we're talking about a human and an AI here in an imaginary world. There's no real reason to believe that their experience is in any way related to human-human experience.
Before anybody thinks this is a criticism aimed at anyone, it's not. This is intended as an opening for discussion. I'm trying to get the participants in this thread -- including me -- to make a guess about what the limits should be. We've had a couple of threads shut down by the admins in the last couple of weeks, and I don't want to see that happen again.
Neko_Ali:
Moderator Comment The limits are simple. We don't discuss such intimate details. There is a stickied thread right here in the Comic Discussion sub forum about the discussion of private parts. That applies in this case, entirely.

The boundaries aren't terribly ambiguous. Don't talk about anybody's sexual anatomy (whether inherently sexual or culturally sexualized, commonly called 'private parts' or 'bathing suit areas') and don't talk explicitly about physical intimacy.
The problem with discussing these things, even in the context of fictional characters, is that the conversation can quickly escalate to the point where very real people in the forum are made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in the forum. The current discussion about whether or not two hours is a long time for sex is pretty close to my own boundaries. While it isn't crossing any lines for me personally right now, it doesn't take too much imagination to see how it could easily become a conversation about just what they're doing that takes so long. And that conversation could very easily cross a lot of lines for people. It is enough to say that, whatever they were doing, they enjoyed it enough to keep doing it for two hours.
Is it cold in here?:
If Bubbles never proposes it will be contrary to all her character development.
If Faye accepts it will be character growth.

...
As far as why Roko has two names, her name is based on Roko's Basilisk people have pointed out. The name of a theory or thought experiment about the dangers of developing AI intelligence. Interesting that someone who chose the profession of police officer has that name as an AI cop.

Thanks! I didn't know Roko's name was a philisophical reference that would be known to people doing Deep Thinking about AI. Went right over my head with nary a whoosh.
Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnteresting...
P.S. Wonder where Faye's glasses are? :-D
