Holy shit... I never thought of the practicality of those until now...This is why Doofenshmirtz always puts a self-destruct button on all his "Inators."
i mean it is a common thing/trope for 'geniuses' to not have common sense, tho i assume she literally never had romantic experience before and such. Tho would've been an interesting take/alternate ver of the story for her to be 'discovered' and then the team she worked on decided to take/kidnap the android for themselves, it is pretty fucked up to just 'throw away' something created to love only you, imagine if it had been like a clone of an actual ex lover too or so but yeah shame we can't get more wholesome stories to balance out the 'robots are the downfall of humanity' scifi cliche moviesI knew it was up when she had the shock eye.
How are you into robotics yet dont have the foresight to assume the robot you made to love you unconditionally, with the added bonus of being able to feel jealousy, might do something crazy if you decide to go out with someone else?
Pretty sure they'd program something to allow them to move on near instantly in that scenario. Gotta always assume the worst when you program, and have contingencies if it does, lest you get trapped by a Yandere bot of your own making 😭
I can also imagine an alternate bad end where it ends up as a toxic yuri of her straight up abusing it and the android gf 'accepting' it b/c of love the same way some irl ppl don't leave abusive relationshipsMy take is that the author is being silly. Why not let the robot experience real love? Why have this twist drama ending about how actually, the Romance Code sucks and can't replicate real emotions because it's just this obsessive dark thing that wipes away everything else you care about? The yandere thing sucks too in this context because it codes Marie as "inhuman." I can understand that this is a story at least partially about the failure of trying to replace "human" love with "artificial" love, but I wish that the author thought just a little bit deeper about it.
Case in point, that whole thing about how the Romance Code doesn't allow for divorce or adultery but oooh shocking twist the Romance Code is actually demented and those messy things like divorce are part of an essentially human love—well, you know what? Maybe Marie experiencing as messy an emotion as abandonment/betrayal is proof that the Romance Code is basically indistinguishable from an essentially human love!
I'm just saying, it would've been more interesting if, at the end, Kei-san was like "yeah actually I still remember that other person, I still love them, sorry."
