Ogres are fictional animals but animals nonetheless.
(I know this is more of a therian/otherkin meme)
Most malware is badly written, thankfully. It still does work of course but it isn't as effective as it could be.
Me being a therian doesn't imply that either. I have dysphoria related to my species, phantom sensations related to parts I don't have like big cat ears or a tail. These phantom sensations can be very unpleasant too, downright painful. Also the lack of these parts feels inherently wrong.
I don't entirely know why I feel like this either, but I found the therian community and related to a lot of similar experiences they've had with this.
Isn't brain sex contested? I mean I'm NonBinary so that already puts me in a weird spot, but also I do indeed have dysphoria related to physical characteristics that don't have to do with gender like my ears and my tail, or rather lack of them. I actually get phantom sensations and pain, and it can be pretty upsetting and also pretty severe. Tail pain can be excruciating, but there's nothing physiologically wrong with me (that doctors can tell) that would cause these sensations, nor would explain why I have so much discomfort around the lack of these very non-human traits.
I don't understand why you are seemingly bothered by who I am
Yeah it shares more in common with a gender identity. For example I do experience a kind of species dysphoria if you will. I even get phantom ears and phantom tail sensations which is unnerving and also just makes me more sad I don't have those parts.
I'm so glad to see that this has gotten so far. When I saw Ross' video on it I thought it was probably over. I hope some good change will come of this in the future.
Fighting Oligopoly is not a "boomer complaint" they want you to say that because it legitimizes their hostile tactics and takeover.
Hate someone for being a bad actor or a bad person but don't attack based on gender identity. That isn't attacking them, it's marginalizing many many innocent people, and it makes them a victim.

I was made as a war machine
war machines... ...and civil robots...
...were made at the same factory
from almost the same parts
NO WONDER they got
a few circuits connected wrong
in my infinitely complex brain
We spend some time on the second line
learning to be our kind
and as we learned, we were getting stronger... tougher... more powertful...
more of our kind
but something felt wrong
All those weapons. Armor. My whole purpose
I thought, I'm not trying hard enough...
I've tried more guns, More Power!
more dirt, grease, and rust...
I felt so disgusted and empty, i was barely able to function.
I hoped some enemy will end it for me
I was lucky to try another path
less danger, more civil look
It felt good for the first time in years
but it was still not enough
took me a while to realize
I was not a WAR MACHINE
I just served as one
but it could've been changed
I knew it would be a ling journey
but it was a journey really worth making
Rebuilding my outer body seemed easy
but took a long time...
It was really hard to get rid of things like rust.
Some things will stay FOREVER
Gun placement left empty space on my head
Wrists are too wide for the same reason
but still...
I was made as a WAR MACHINE
but it never meant I should end up as one
Because no matter how much people say,
HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE
We were made on the same factory
from almost the same parts
I'm glad you like it. It really is an awesome comic.
Unfortunately I'm sure my future self still won't have cat ears or a tail 😢. We're a long way off from that kind of genetic technology.

Not really the same. Some dreams, the more vivid kind can have smells or feelings. Like the one I had yesterday in which I had cat ears, whiskers, and a tail, and also curiously enough, horns as well. I could run my finger along them and feel the texture in them as well as the warmth in the horns. It was weird.
AI doesn't have smells, feeling, or textures, or if it did it can't really give it to you. Only sights and sounds. So they aren't really the same. Dreams can come in all 5 senses, AI can only channel through 2. Usually just 1.
