I Wonder Why, When It Comes To The Clone Theory, It's Very Common To Perceive Clones As Less Human/ Subhumans/

I wonder why, when it comes to the Clone Theory, it's very common to perceive clones as less human/ subhumans/ not real (among the authors and the audience)? Why is it such a big deal to know who are "originals" and who are clones?

I'm not telling people how they should write their stories (be free, do crimes), just personally, I think about this particular detail a lot.

What exactly does make clones lesser than human? The fact that their DNA was ripped off of someone else's? The fact that they weren't born from a human womb? The fact that they're someone's greatest experiment? ...Are they not humans because they were denied personhood?

Genuinely don't get that.

You know, I've never really read Frankenstein's monster but I'm starting to see similar motifs here...

Imagine one day the whole world finds out that the government was actively making clones of people for military purposes. "Who are the originals" wouldn't be a question to determine who's more or less worthy to stay alive. The "creators" of the clones already own everything to them just for the mere fact they've brought them to existence without their consent.

They ARE human by all means if they're sentient and they exist, and spreading the idea among them that "one is worthy, other is not" is just a tool to separate the oppressed (both sides) and make them clash with each other (instead of going against their oppressor), and to justificate just killing one side as to not to deal with the difficulties of leaving both sides be.

In the eyes of the system NONE of them is human, neither clones nor originals. That's what actually scary...

Who are you, ugly face?

A scene from my fic...

Debris

Not a question but your art and whole blog remind me of Goya’s black paintings. like if Goya was a tf2 fan. Keep it up brah

!??

Things TF2 Fanfiction need to do:

• Have Sniper and Scout secretly bond over the Big Situation™ they don't have control over, because they're the only ones to know. They seek hope in eachother. "It's not as scary if we're doing this together."

• Leave readers emotionally drained and overstimulated to the point of a headache.

• That's all.
