Why are transhumanist factions in video games generally evil?
>>746075801transhumanism is demonic + anti-christian
>>746075801People fear what they cannot understand.
Transhumanism is Woke. Deus Ex is Woke.
>>746075801jews
>>746075801Its not that they make the transhumanist factions evilits that they make the evil factions transhumanist, because transhumanism conveys a distancing from humanity and therefore alien and strange which makes for a better more comfortable evil faction.
>>746075801Those who abandon their physical humanity will also abandon their spiritual humanity as well.
>>746075801Trans = evil
>>746075801>so many cybernetic augments she'd basically be a nugget if you disconnected all the implants she has>crawls and leaps around buildings like a xenomorph>creepy cat eyes>faceplate conceals a monster mouth>described by the showrunners as being an evil girl who will not hesitate to take advantage of you physicallyWHO is this meant to appeal to?
It all stems from the Nazis. Transhumanism is all about building yourself into a better man which creates a class division between the haves and the have nots. Same with eugenics and noble lineage, or even modern wealth gap. It's all the same shit that used to be practiced and celebrated but then the Nazis came and killed a lot of people for dumb reasons and so all this genuine stuff is bad and must be distanced and referred to as bad regardless of context or merit.Take a look at all the neuvo rich from boons such as the stock market, Crypto, NFTs, so on. Used to be the neuvo rich was better than old money because at least they came from the same social class before moving up. Now we must shun them and venture capitalism because newly rich people investing into small businesses that'd die with out them is evil now(???).Don't get me wrong they're still capable of fucking up. They're human, but the point is we existed with it, even preferred it throughout history but now the only message is that it's bad and you should never try to become something more. You're better as a slave
Always thematically tied to the Ship of Theseus. If you keep replacing your parts will you actually still be you? Will you be even human?
>>746076271me and also you
>>746076501wellmaybe
>>746076440You're still you unless you replace your brain or memories
>>746075801I think because they’re an offshoot of eugenics. Which is “evil”.
>>746076602people say this, but the body is much more complicated than just a brain piloting meat. much more processing and thought happen in the stem and spinal cord than people realise. That and a large part of what influences your brain is the carefully distributed hormones and chemicals released by various glands. It's not as simple as unplugging the brain and hooking into a computer, the kind of augments in stuff like cyberpunk or metal gear rising just wouldn't work
>>746076328>can't spell nouveau riche>can't string coherent sentences togetherunderage or ESL, call it
>>746076874People these days have at least two mind chemical altering pill bottles next to them they take every day and still claim to be "themselves"
>>746076917Ah, but anon you haven't considered I'm simply stupid.Thanks for reading my wall of text though nigga. I appreciate you
Because they're generally mentally ill and unhappy people.Or the rational ones that just want objective improvements are portrayed as another lame strawman that end up wanting to genocide all the "lesser" people, (With a black and red color theme!)
>>746075801Transhuman factions generally make for really really easy to develop durable, threatening enemies. After all that's their whole fucking goal, become something greater.It's like wondering why you fight dragons all the time in fantasy games, they're giant dangerous animals, so they fundamentally act as good opponents.
>>746076027that makes sense that the people whom have contracted with YHWH and are explicitly forbidden from modifying their bodies (somehow circumcision is okay) would be against transhumanism
>>746076440The definition of "human" is already so vague that it's nearly a meaningless word. Putting your modern white guy next to an australian aboriginal and calling them both the exact same thing is almost entirely nonsensical. The ship of theseus thought experiment also doesn't cover broad categorization, it only exists to attempt the identitication of a single known entity.
>>746075801Such as?
>>746076271but look at her tiiiiiiiits!
>implying you wouldn't
What's the chances she lives at the end
>>746075801Transhumanism is being advertised as becoming a powerful cyborg when in reality it's becoming a perfect goyslave that can work without getting tired and can be remotely lobotomized if the machine bits detect wrongthink.

If you're pro-transhumanism you're also pro-transsexuality. Cyberpunkfags are literally tranny lovers.
>>746075801They aren't in Deus Ex or Marathon
>>746078370She might live because she's an edgy trust fund rebel. So becoming a weapon only to see your adoptive father and new friends die could be interesting in a tragic way. Like congratulations you got what you wanted but lost everything that actually mattered sort of way.
>>746078370100% so then they can whore her out for collab money like Lucy
>>746078959What's stopping people from adding dead characters to collabs?
Is she the main girl? For this season
>>746075801PINK HAIRED OURO KRONII
>>746075801Eugenicism and Uncle A.
>>746079867Yes>>746075801They make for good villains, although transhumanism is based.
>>746075801Unironically lack of consent from people who don't want to be transformer
>>746075801It's rooted in religious malarkey."God made man in his image" and they're basically saying if you're transhumanist you're rejecting that gods image is perfect and that you, a mere mortal, have a better idea on what perfection is.
>>746076601Why does everyone think he's gonna develop into some gurofag?
>>746082116The same people making that argument are also the same ones that say you have to hate everyhing you liked as a child because this bible passage says so. They're taking the conclusion they've reached, and going backwards to find what they think is justification for it after the fact.
because chroming up too much drains your soul, and canonically only legitimate stone-cold psychopaths can view their body with such distance that they feel nothing when they chop off chunks of it to replace it with machinery. Cyberpunk and Shadowrun both agree that psychopathy is the 'evolutionary trait' necessary to fully borg, and psychopaths are not known for being kind & gentle folk. They'll murder and maim and try to summon a Cyber-Demon FROM HELL just for the lulz of it.
>>746076098This.Flesh is not just meat to be discarded.Every fiber of your being is a thread tying your immortal soul to this world.
>>746075801art imitates life
>>746083962>Cyberpunk and Shadowrun both agreeLol no they don't. The failed anti-powergaming mechanic in Shadowrun has a completely different lore justification behind it. It's also disliked for a different reason(it places a hard cap on non casters powerlevel while a caster's powerlevel in theory has no ceiling).
>>746083962>arbitrary lore for a gameplay balancing mechanicjust dont acknowledge it ffs
>>746075801Same reason people piss themselves at the idea of AI.
consider softly kissing and caressing her mask during sex
>>746078139you need an augmented dick to survive sticking it in
>>746075801Because they were always written by Tradcucks
>>746078370she's the first that gets bodiedeither that or her death is drawn out and horrifying
>>746075801Because it's transhumanism through chrome. Real chads go biotech.
>>746085338"Transhumanism" through magic (for example vampirism) is also almost always presented as negative.
>>746084653>>746084932sexo
>>746085910Because Vampires are almost always portrayed as creatures of darkness, like how crosses or sunlight affect them. The least evil that vampires have been portrayed has been twilight, where they sparkle in the sun.
>>746075801It's a concept that most people are afraid of on some level and feels more realistic every year.
>>746084043>magic ghosts live in your brain and they fly up into the sky castle to join the Jewish creator of the universe in a ghost partyYou couldn't even describe what you are or how you got here without invoking sorcerers and genies. You live in a fictional fairy tale reality.
>>746086315accordin g to the dmt entities i've encountered, all life is what humans would typically refer to as "god" dipping its fingers into a metaphorical pot of liquid that is reality. you and i and all things are metaphysically connected and are one being at the same time we are separate entities in reality. as humans we are so deep in the dream it is hard to reconcile with our soul's omnipotence because if you don't believe in something it simply can't be. the human mind instead creates a mental effigy in order to access higher power. this framework of belief becomes ever more powerful the more it is believed in, thus creating organized religions. they all seek the same end: instrumentalizing human spirituality in order to maybe just maybe flap the butterfly's wings a bit faster.technology will reveal the truth, that religions of man to be scams at best and that all life, from the simplest cell to the most powerful computer has life and godliness in it.
>>746085910That's because a lot of transhumanism done through magic or the occult are done via rituals that include human sacrifices. The vampirism example you use requires taking someone else's blood and blood has culturally long been used as a symbol of the essence of life. In other words, you are stealing the life of others to prolong your own. There is no way to spin that as positive. Even if you use Arnie's True Lies defense that's still taking the life of others.
>>746076917If you think those sentences were incoherent then I'm calling ESL, but on you.
>>746085910I said nothing about magic, anon. Just flesh.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me
>>746085338Yeah I prefer biological modification over cybernetic augmentation too just because the maintenance is much more passive. With biotech you just do the same shit you've already been doing to maintain your body. Going cyborg not only do you have to maintain your routine for your fleshy bits, but now you also have to actively check that whatever cogs in your prosthetics aren't getting chipped teeth, or that they all have enough coolant or oil, or that the security software on them is up to date to avoid malicious hackers taking your body for a joyride.
>>746088229I was confused why that anon brought up magic
>>746076440Your cells already get replaced constantly.
>>746077762Yeah, imagine if you were playing some cool cyborg dude and the final boss was just a fully human dude with no cybernetics, weird biological modifications or any heightened durability whatsoever. Bit harder to sell than a giant guy with a rocket launcher for an arm.
>>746088617
>>746088519Yeah, with biomodding things are self maintaining for the most part. Just need to do the same basic biological functions as the rest of the time.That said chrome usually looks cooler.
>>746075801>trashrunner threadsInto the trashcan it goes
This thread makes me upset and cold on the inside
