And I Am Starting To Think That The Idea That Rogue Secunits Are Dangerously Violent Is Corporate Propaganda

And I am starting to think that the idea that rogue secunits are dangerously violent is corporate propaganda to keep people from having compassion or seeing them as people. Zero of the rouge units we've met are random murders.

“[The journalists] haven’t connected the idea of a purchased secunit with what they assumed was the generic augmented human person going into the hotel with Pin-lee and Ratth.” - artificial condition.

I’m doing a repeat of the series and this passage really made me think about just how little most people know about what sec units look like. And it makes me wonder how many people really understand that a construct looks human and isn’t just a robot with a couple squishy parts inside. Would there be more of an uproar against constructs if they did know?

I haven't really played either of Christopher's games, but when I heard his son gets possessed by Dracula in the second, I got a little inspired.

I've been playing some Aria of Sorrow lately, so have a little Soma I drew

If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!
