Glad you liked it. I tend to avoid doing 'before' pics just because it's hard to find a guy that looks sufficiently lie the model I'm using and it doesn't seem to fit, for me. The Anime thing could be fun but I think it's your story. Why not give doing caps a go? It's not as hard as it looks.
Wow... this is really fucking vile. Like vile enough that it might not even be legal in the US. Though considering what kind abuse falls under parental rights there I sadly wouldn't bet on it.
That mother is a person I'd like to shiv if I could get away with it. WTF.
That's a matter of perspective. In our world, yeah, it'd be pretty awful. In a world where changing sex is as simple as taking a pill, forcing your kid to change sex as a punishment isn't such a big deal. It's probably more akin to being grounded for three months, or taking their phone/computer away, or not letting them go to some big event. The constant surveillance seems creepy to late 20th Century readers, but given how much privacy we've given up to our governments,facebook and google, maybe people in the mid-21st C are more okay with that sort of thing than we are? She is being judgemental and unfair by listening to the AI rather than the kid. However, this is also a sign of where we're going: putting too much trust in various algorithms - algorithms that often have a very limited grasp of context or nuance. So... I'd say that shivving her was perhaps a bit extreme... but given the way medical technology has advanced in this world, shivving someone probably isn't such a big deal either - probably equivalent to posting something mean about them on twitter - so, yeah, go for it, I guess???
I had a fun time getting into this. I can't get over saying enough about how much thought-proving commentary you pack into such a short amount of dialog. It's so convincing, fun, funny and in-character. I'm seeing that he accepts and embraces the changes, although, on the surface, the mom is certainly coercive, pushing her demands against his freewill. On the other hand, the subject is extremely submissive, no resistance given, really. So, that's either very sinister and powerful subliminal influences at work or positive attraction to and acceptance of the changes, especially when it can all be reversed so readily and cheaply later - if so desired... ~CLake
Glad you liked it. I'm not sure that the subject is particularly submissive, so much as that the hectoring of the voice in his ear is so total that he ends up giving in to it. I don't think he accepts the changes readily so much as that he acknowledges the reality of his position: he's a teenager without a job, and for him a grand is a lot of money. He lives with his mother and doesn't actually have that much say in things. And he's been putting up with his mother for a whole lifetime, he grew up in her shadow. That's the kind of thing that So... I guess his behaviour is open to interpretation????
LOL - Yeah, I tend lately to be interpreting from the perspective of putting myself in the "victim's" place and that usually slants my takeaway to the side of positive acceptance of the outcome, sometimes with the added plausible deniability of a being forced...
Interesting. I always write them from the perspective of the victim, but I imagine myself (in these kinds of caps anyway) as someone who was happy just the way they were, thank you very much. Which I think is interesting, and possibly quite important, in terms of how people imagine themselves in the characters place. At least, from a psychological/writing POV...
Hm... Honestly I really don't think that's where the world is going. If only because people aren't going to stand for it.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned (not even 30 yet), but I find facebook mostly annoying and actually cut back on using google. Yeah it's kinda convenient, but if you realize they literally scan everything you do it stops being convenient and starts being something between creepy and horrifying.
As for this technology. That's basically brainwashing; conditioning children like dogs. That's not how you raise children to be sane and competent human beings. The sex change part is the least problematic here.
Yeah, I think there's a slow backlash against facebook, but that's sort of a backlash against how people are so accepting of the intrusion. A brief look at history will show how people have stood for far worse with very little response. "Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos!" But yeah, even ignoring the gender thing, this is certainly very extreme, authoritarian parenting. However, in the wider historical scheme of things... it was normal until quite recently to use corporal punishment, to actually physically assault children in the name of 'discipline'. This kind of constant AI-based surveillance never crosses the line of violence, and might have been considered overly gentle by the standards of much of Western History. (IRL, of course I would have a serious problem with this sort of thing, obviously. But that doesn't mean I can't write scifi where attitudes are different).
