    Man, “who wants to breed me” is a weird thing to consider.

    Like breeding implies some sort of “excellence” doesn’t it? So like if I heard a random woman shout that in a bar, my monkey brain would go “ooo, reproduction!” But my human brain, depending or not of my state of mind at the time, would be all like “what qualities and benefits to humanity do you have?”

      Maybe they just want to make the pug of humans or a become a human gachapon dispenser. Doesn’t have to strictly be the best, speaking for a friend.

        You know what though, no shame to her. If she’s up for the task that’s some serious work.

        I honestly never thought I’d be the type to have many kids, but after having mine I can see where it would be incredibly fun to have a lot of these guys running around.

        Although, on a serious note, I think it’s because I’ve come to a new idea regarding kids in our era. A lot of people talk about the “well I didn’t agree to be brought into this mess” and “boomers ruined it for all of us.” I’ve always had a less pessimistic view of humanity. Not ignoring that we aren’t serious monsters to eachother and the planet, but humans adapt incredibly fast. I have this irrational idea that if I can raise kids with the same values and empathy I have, then they will too.

        If the people who work to better society have kids that better society, maybe we’ll have a better future.
