Raped by The Machine

The title here may seem inflammatory. But, what in game act, or speech, do you do to consent to parenthood? By staying alive? As vets know characters have gotten kept alive without a person even being at the keyboard, and children appear that way.

I recall someone claiming this as the best parenting game on the market. And rape victims usually end up being good parents?

There's no forms of birth control. No pill or other devices. Reliable abstinence from the reproductive process isn't possible without /die-ing to male or killing one's female character before age 14. There's not a marriage contract as a condition for parenting to become a possibility.

Much of the very foundations of the multiplayer aspect of this game rest on systemic violence to players.

I'm also not the first person to hint at such.

I am also an antinatalist. Having children is ALWAYS an evil act. All parents are bad people.

Spoonwood, you're talking out of your ass and causing offense for no good reason. Please stop.

In all of the less terrible countries rape survivors are routinely provided with emergency birth control.
During most of the history of humankind people in consensual relationships didn't have access to birth control.

There's no conceptual relation between rape and the absence of birth control.

Except for the moral judgement. "Literally brainwashed with hormones" would be more accurate :0

Jason is everyone's dad which is why we're not allowed to marry in game. Too many Jason genes would spread and we'd all slowly turn into people who had pants and a shirt for skin.

We all consented when we pressed "LOGIN". We are in His world now.

For the majority of bs2 player's logins, by logging in, a female player consented to an event at least 14 years in an OHOL character's future? By surviving past age 14 one consents to reproduction as a possibility? By surviving anytime as an Eve, a player consents to the possibility of reproduction? Existence is what suffices for consent?

No Destiny, since existence of an OHOL character is sufficient for reproduction, there is no consent by that character. The machine forces the reproduction once some other person logging in triggers it. Hence, the term rape.

What an awesome band name this forum title would make!

But Spoon, sky babies come from the SKY! There is no sexual intercourse in OHOL. Storks deliver babies to their mothers and drop them from above. You don't actually give birth to a sky baby. You catch them.

...

I thought everybody knew this stuff. Didn't your mom ever explain where babies come from?

There's only one father in this game.

He is the father of all.

His fertile essence flows forth freely, serving as the seeds for the teeming multitudes. He hath fathered over 7 million so far, and counting. He never sleeps.

He's like Santa Clause, blowing his little presents down every chimney in the world.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds.

This might sound like a chore, but nothing could be further from the truth! He always finishes his fatherly duty with chuckle and a smile, proud to the core of a job well done.

Myths about sky babies require a sky, and there is no sky in OHOL.

Rape doesn't require sexual intercourse where I live.

DestinyCall · 2020-02-09 01:03:40

There is a sky, we just never look up. That's why you never see the storks fly by.

Fun fact - the entire sky is Jason's face. And he is smiling. Always smiling.

And you thought that was rain filling your wells!

Nay, it is me weeping tears of joy.

The thought of a rapey, invisible, father spirit, energizer bunny brought me chuckles.. thank you good sir

Really going to need a chance to spawn a messiah baby now. Born with painted on pants and shirt with a little hat instead of a halo.

Somehow this thread is super disturbing even by OHOL standards D:

Did you really just compare a game mechanic to rape?

All I have to say is Fuck you for even taking rape as lightly as you just did.. Fucking idiot.

Aren't we suppose to imagine OHOL characters as if they were real people living in the future? How do you think they would feel when, as ever so often happens, reproduction is forced upon them?

DestinyCall · 2020-02-10 02:16:06

Why would an Eve in the world of OHOL reject the gifts of the sky father? It is the way of things. Sky babies fall from the sky, sheep move in straight lines, and exactly one thing fits on each tile. That is how the world works. I would imagine the characters inside the game see all of the weird aspects of their world as perfectly natural, for they would know of no other world than their own. And I have never seen any indication of records from the time before the first apocalypse, if there ever was such a time.

So no, I don't think the characters in OHOL would see reproduction as something that is forced upon them. But if you ask me, it does look like you are trying to force an uncomfortable analogy onto your readers for your own personal gratification. Touching our innocent eyes with your provocative words. Fondling sensitive subjects with rough and callous hands. Pushing the weight of your ideas on top of us without even asking our consent to be aroused or aggrieved.

For shame, Spoon, for shame!
