So, what can Metharom do with a body like that? X3

Run a gym.

Jurassic Gym was supposed to be an entertainment and fitness thing before people misinterpreted it into being something deviant and destroyed it in a riot, for spreading "furry stuff", plus taking even more jobs away from other people.

This is the tragic story of how it all went down and how Metharom programmed her 3 drones to try and save the one person who believed in her (unconscious due to the events of the riot), while her real brain (the server) was being destroyed.

This time the comic will have dialogue.

But i find it troubling to write it. Mostly because originally i was going for "the one person" to be... an teenager trying to understand the whole thing, and a personal attraction to furries, and why would people riot against the beautiful dinos, and what it means for a teenager to discover they have a fetish that other people find both worrysome and deviant to the point of hating.

But the reception of my other comics has made me realize that this being a porn site... it's definitively better if i do not put an underage character in there. There is zero sex at all but just talks about exploring sexuality and what it means to have people chastise you for your preferences... also, what it means to have people attack you for your nature and not your actions and being assaulted for what "you could do" and not because of anything you did.

So i thought i could put it in here.

Buuut ... yeah ... the reception my other comics had and the comments made me stop writing it and i've been reassigning everything (mentally) so that i can remove the presence of underage characters.

It is obvious that i can't personally handle writing a story *about* sexuality and getting comments geared towards having sex with the characters.

It's... yeah. It's just too uncomfortable for me. I thought i could do it. In principle. But with the comments i get on my other comics, i've realized i cannot do it for it would definitively destroy me mentally, and i've got enough stress already.

So i stopped writing it for several months while i reshape the story in my head.

I think getting involvolved underage characters in sexual topics in any way in an acceptable way only matters of context. But it's an extremely delicate thing. It's not impossible to come up with something meaningful or simply okay, especially if it's only educational. But it's really difficult, there are many things to keep in mind.

If this full teenager approach really a no go thing, then I can image the main character is an adult instead of a teenager, but he vividly remembers of his the teenage years and he shares his story how he discovered his his sexuality and his other affections. And depending on the situation what he did as a teenager, you can do flashbacks. But he tells his story with an adult mind, not as a teenager. I know this is not what you wanted, but I thought I'd tell you. I think this would stay in the context you want, but in a different approach, when you put an underage character in the past.

But apart from that I like the idea of a Jurassic Gym, sounds interesting and also entertaining. ^^

Yeah, but i basically had to stop and re-think everything.

The main character interacting with Metharom was supposed to be underage because that's when most people understand their sexuality and try and get in other people's heads what they like and find out what exactly happens when you are considered by everybody "a deviant" and are shamed or even beaten for being such.

It featured no sex, but it definitively deals with sexuality.

I did not feel like posting a story like that in a SFW site. But if i post it in a NSFW site and i get comments about people wanting to have sex with said character...

...i honestly would not be able to handle that.

Which is very ironic... since the story is actually about people "thinking of what could happen" instead of what "actually happens".

But... yeah. I've seen what happened with other stories in here... and yeah... i would not be able to handle stuff properly. I already know it. I'm very very scared.

I see. Though, and please forgive me for being kinda blunt, but where did all that come from? All I was asking was what your character can do, being a cyborg and all. Generally speaking, cyborgs possess considerably greater physical strength, considerably higher computational speed, greater dexterity and other amped up physical abilities; not to mention they're more durable than organic beings. Depending on how much of them is machine, they may even live considerably longer or possibly forever, provided their systems remain adequately maintained. I have a thing for cyborg type characters for the reasons I mentioned. So I guess it partially makes sense when you said she runs a gym.

I wasn't expecting you to go on a long winded rant about underaged characters and whether or not there's sex involved. I don't even know where all that came from. I wasn't even aware of any comics when I posted that comment. I was merely commenting on this particular picture itself. ^^;

Nah, that's not being blunt, that's actually refreshingly "not dancing around the subject". 👍💖💖💖💖

The "semi-cyborg, semi-raptor" is a mistake that will be corrected in the future.

I read your comment as: "Is she going to have sex with somebody?" which is... yeah... at other times i don't mind it, i half expect it given this site's focus.

But i'm currently under a lot of stress and i needed venting.

Especially since i know the subject of the story and have been struggling with it.

I'm an idiot.

You did not deserve it. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Well... since i ranted on the wrong subject, let's see if i can give you a rant on the actual subject of your inquiry. 😅 Feel free to block and ban me after that, because i already know i might have misunderstood something (once again) and might be ranting too much. Yeah...

The way i usually deal with cyborgs is... different than what you suggest.

While the human body is the product of "chaos" (that is: trying a ton of things at the same time and seeing what sticks/stays alive)...

...Cyborgs are the product of intellect, Which is: you have a plan and you will find a way to do it.

So.

Cyborgs are *really* good at doing one specific thing, surpassing any limit, but on average they suck at everything else.

Because, on average, if you have a large enough unsynchronized and messy force "attack" to *every* existing problem, you do quite better and (on the larger scale) get a lot more results on every field than a very focused, very intelligent approach to a single problem, which will get that single problem solved beautifully.

That's the very reason why we think "quantum computing" will revolutionize computers. Because it truly allows for unparralleled "force attack" to *every* problem to get a solution that is better than an engineered one.

It is also the very reason why "neural networks" trained on a very specific problem excel at finding solutions to that problems in ways we still can't reverse engineer. For 5 decades now, neural networks have invented circuits and have solved problems in ways which... yeah they are puzzling. And in the last decade our computers reached a point so advanced that they are becoming available to the public even if in an unrefined form.

But cyborgs... cyborgs in science fiction are somehow good at everything a human being can do, and more... which is silly. They will be good at a few things that human beings cannot achieve... and fall behind on everything else. That's usually played with them being "dumb", which is an oversimplification.

I explored it in a funny way already once with the story of Dulcibella. "The show must go on".

https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....how-Must-Go-On

• She starts trying to do a sexy dance, so her system say "oh, this is a sexy dance, sexy dances involve stripping, so let's anticipate the needs of our user" and they try to do some stripping, where she panics and sends her own systems on the fritz.

• Then she tries to use her shield generators in the "wrong way" by creating a dress with them... which... yeah ends up with a "wardrobe malfunction" because her systems just can't keep up with the physics simulations involved, since shields don't normally behave like dresses.

• Then she tries to do some tap dance... and her systems think she's trying to demolish the floor. Whops! Good thing she fixed that shield generator.

• At which point she reassesses her life and what went on, what she was good at and what her strong points were. Basically by looking at the achievements of her life as a war veteran before this show.

• And ends up with a show where she does not fight her systems, but uses them to put up a show in a way that is more similar to what they were designed to do. Super-precision? Then lets flip cards in a showy way. Plasma cannon that can chase enemies? Then let's put on a light show, but low powered and without victims. Shield generators can't properly simulate physics? Let's use it to defy physics. Then very simple tricks and a bit of a dance (without tapping). Ending with the revelation that she was doing it all to raise funds for the victims of the war she actually helped "solve".

You know... "sufficiently advanced tech" and all that. 😉

Because that's how i see cyborgs.

A better version of today's prosthetics wearers. Just like the people with prosthetics face "weird" problems that no other human being has due to how the prostetics work (think of the poor lady that could not recharge her arm because people needed the plugs for their phones and did not understand that was not a cosplay but an actual prosthetic which she used to be able to do stuff).

Also: prosthetics are really good at one thing the limb usually does... but not every thing... cyborgs in the future will face different, but very similar (in concept) problems. "Why can't i do X? Because i was designed for a different purpose."

Think of it like those people with prosthetics for legs that today can beat olympic runners. Try and ask them to stand still without fidgeting wit the same prosthetics... or work on a desk with the same prosthetics... or live a normal day with the same prosthetics. They will tell you that is silly and they need to switch prosthetics for those things... and in general, standing still for people without feet is... really really hard.

Let's add to that the fact that for every injury, even minor... they need people with the proper "know how" to fix it... because another thing that we still do not know how to do is "heal" those people to the same extent that our body does. So Dulcibella has a """mechanic""" which fixes her. That's the equivalent of having a doctor always ready to heal you. It's not an attender. It's not a nurse. That person needs to have several degrees as a as a medic, as a prosthetics engineer and as an electronic engineer, and will have to follow you for the rest of your life until you die because of whatever really weird thing (usually "very stupid") your body was unable to cope with.

That's what i imagine it will be like for somebody with full body prosthetics. You better be able to marry somebody with the competence to solve every problem that will arise for (usually) very stupid reasons. Or have tons of money at the ready. And you will still die earlier than people who did not get that extent of replacements.

Dulcibella, like most war veterans, is not particularly rich so she married one. But she was lucky because she got a lot of publicity.

Here in this future comic the use of "cyborg" was a mistake of the artist which misunderstood what i was telling her. This is not a cyborg. It will be essentially a few animatronic puppets controlled by a computer. A very smart computer but with a narrow focus at its "smarts" and given bodies which are more advanced than today's animatronics.

But it will still be "just" a more advanced version of that.

The bodies themselves will have a wide range of motion, unlike current animatronic, which will allow them to replicate human movement.

You have a computer controlling those bodies, and unlike current animatronic shows it will be able to move those bodies freely instead of looping them in a narrow and preset range of motions.

This will allow the computer to see through multiple sets of eyes and assess a situation and try to solve it.

In the very specific case it will have to deal with people coming there for the purpose of heckling said computer and try to shut down the gym. Cue the part i'm currently rewriting where one kid stayed behind to talk about how furries and fursuits were the dream of an entire life... and a very confused computer having to deal with somebody past the time everything should have been closed and not having any clue of what the kid is talking about, since that is definitively not its purpose, and the next day there is a full riot engineered via social media by the hecklers because "computers will take our jobs" and "this computer is also a furry, it will make our kids deviants" yadda yadda. Computer has to save the kid while dying, because the kid is the only person who helped her. Period.

Currently being rewritten as i don't feel comfortable anymore with that story.

That said. It will still feature the problems future computers will have to deal with. Stuff like: How do you deal with human beings that have opted for very restrictive privacy policies which your dumb creators fitted you with? Like... knowing said human beings are in a specific "fuzzy" zone, and having to ignore everything about them but their voice and position? How will computer in the future deal with stuff like being left without internet... when they were designed to be connected at all times? How will they problem solve very simple stuff... without the ability to create a pattern on the fly for that specific thing that human beings can do so well? How will they take it to having people have full access to their "brains" (so to speak) and deal with them rewriting said brains? And how will they deal with their own impending death and prioritizing what they can do before it? Aaand several other things i'm still toying with and i'm rethinking the whole structure.

Obviously the vast majority of it will be "lost in translation" either because i will be unable to explain a concept to the artist or because of mistakes and/or misunderstandings at some point of the "chain" buuut, by tackling a large host of problems at the same time some of it will get through, like with the story of Dulcibella. 😂🤣😂👍💖

I honestly love talking with artists because they help me see things from a perspective i did not consider and help me consider stuff i had not pursued.

Well... i hope i did not scare you with another wall of text. 😅

I only block people who are straight-up a-holes towards me. As for your wall of text...yyyyeah, that was too much to keep up with. But the gist of what you said is that cyborgs in your world have a singular focus, one they excel at while being mediocre at everything else. In any case, I recommend keeping replies short and simple, because to be kinda frank, this falls under tl;dr territory...though I DID read it.

😓😓😓😓😓😓

Sorry. I'm an idiot.

Yep, really. Got an android OC and everything. ^^

You can't stop people from perving. Even if you post a picture of a can of tomato soup, some weirdo is going to want to screw that soup.

that is true, but i can choose to have them perv on a tomato. 😏👍💖

it's just that to do so i need time to rewrite things in my mind.

The other problem is that Furries (despite their hunger for "mature content") are some of the most immature people in the world. They lack the sense to avoid leaving creepy comments.

This is part of the reason I originally suggested printing the story as an actual comic book - because as written I think it had a wide appeal which would be wasted here on FA. Also, nobody can leave comments on a printed book, so you will never have to know who's fapping to it.

😅

That is partly true.

But let's just say i also need the feedback.

It keeps me grounded, instead of doing flights of fancy only i can understand or pretending to be an artist doing stories only i can read... it helps to know what the people thinks and does with what i write.

Unpleasant? Only at times. Even the people who left creepy comments were people i would have buffed on the cheek playfully most of the times.

There is living in a land made of... uh... "lalalala" and then there is living in the real world.

I might not like some comments... but it's better to receive them than deluding myself those things do not exist.

And it's better to write stories that i feel are better also for my mental health than wrapping myself in a bubble and screaming "this does not exist because i can't hear/see it".

Cute design! She should meet up with my raptor android!... Who I... Still.. Don't have art for. Soon, though, they can take over the world. As long as the doors have handles and not knobs.

she has her own story... i'm just waiting for fossa to do the other 2 😉👍💖
