Exactly! I get that this is supposed to reflect a ‘different culture‘ with different values, but it’s a bit confusing about how humans are seen here. The doctor is a human who seems to be working in a normal capacity on equal footing with the heteromorphs. Could the ’pet’ label be closer in meaning a to a legal guardian, with the term ’pet‘ being used because of the difference in species?I'm so confused as to how social dynamics in this world works. Humans and aberrant-heads are more or less the same physiologically, but humans have the status of rare pets...
So if fangmouth-bro wants to seggs FeMC (or bear-head with the doctor lady), is that, like, bestiality? Or is it OK? How the heck does this work?
Their reality is having their "pets" doing normal laborThe doctor is a human who seems to be working in a normal capacity on equal footing with the heteromorphs.
