Would you be okay with being the pet of a member of a species with superior intelligence?

  • I am wondering why you're making all these assumptions on what specific things they can do though.
  • All just speculations really, :p

    Just working off the things that we as humans are barely scratching the surface of, and applying their natural conclusion to this species :3
  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    (I would probably go with freedom, despite alien sexings.

    Probably.)

    What if the latter came with unlimited booze that gives no hangovers?
  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    Well, booze and sex are sort of an awful combination.

    Maybe if it was like, unlimited cigarettes and a convenient, painless, 100% sure cure for cancer.
  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    In fact, that'd seal the deal. I'd totally go for that.
  • You know -_-, I like(sarcasm) how "Alien Sexing" is predominantly the first thing most people think of when they think "Advanced Aliens willing to take you as a pet"

    Because you know, the medical advances and cosmetic advances and general shift from the technology we have(Which is amazing by the way) To rapidly more amazing things that some people can't even dream of are all just second bananas when compared to "Alien sexings"

    Well, if we can endear our extraterrestrial neighbours to us...
  • And this is where I bring up the "Dog-humping someones leg analogy again" ^_^
  • Well, booze and sex are sort of an awful combination. 

    Well I think so too, but there are quite the amount of people who hope for a too-attractive-for-someone-in-their-league person to get beer goggles.

    Well, in the case of alien sexings the aliens are presumably human-shaped.

    And given the nature of sexuality, I doubt this would be a one-way street kind of thing.

    Besides, dogs hump people to denote dominance rather than sexual attraction. I'm not trying to dominate my hypothetical green-skinned space babe -- I'm trying to spread my seed across the galaxy is all. :D
  • Alien Master: ~Pats Alex on the head and hands him a doggy human treat~ That's a good boy. now heel.

    If they were different species, then your exploits would be worthless.

    And aliens=ugly. I only fuck humans.

    Welcome to humanity, we're a bunch of sex-driven useless perverts.

    "Alien Master: ~Pats Alex on the head and hands him a doggy human treat~ That's a good boy. now heel. "

    Someone tried to treat me like that I'd fucking cut them

    Didn't you say you were sort of a furry yesterday?
  • And aliens=ugly.

    WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY LOOK LIKE
  • Ed: Doesn't matter, they aren't human/look 90% human, I don't do them.

    Juan: I wouldn't exactly fuck an anthro, either. Doesn't mean I'm not sexually attracted to them.

    ...sorry, run that through me again, please?
  • But what if they look 95% human?

    What if they're Time Lords?

    Doctor Who!

    Actually, I am curious now.

    What do you think the aliens look like Chagen?
  • "...sorry, run that through me again, please?"

    If I saw a real-life anthro, I wouldn't do him/her. 

    But I don't mind them in a fictional setting where the normal world doesn't come into play.

    I don't think the Doctor would do that. that seems more like something the Rassilon or the Master would do.

    ^Oh, gotcha,

    ^^^^^ They'll probably fall into the Uncanny Valley, then, though maybe they have sufficiently advanced human plastic surgery.

    Doctor Who doesn't call them pets Juan, but realistically looking at it, what do you think his relationship with most of his companions would fall under?

    Let's be honest about this for a second, Yes, the Doctor is awesome, And yes he cares about humans, but from his point of view, how do you think he views us?
  • You can change. You can.
    As inferior creatures who he loves to rescue a lot. But he doesn't want any power over us beyond the simple control over our history he has.

    Anyway, for the sake of this experiment being more interesting, the aliens will look like this,


    All of them. 
  • You know, some of you have this weird way of arguing things, You like to make one example this encompassing thing, Like "Pet owners exert their control over their pets 24/7" Where do you people get that misconception?

    Honestly, It's pretty freaky.

    I look at the way the Doctor feels about humans as the same way that Sherlock did (After all, The Doctor is heavily inspired by him)

    Basically, he sees us as inferior. But he never see us as something less than people. Not as pets. Sherlock doesn't want pets because he fears getting close to people. Same goes to the Doctor. He fears getting close to things. That's why he has a magic blue box that flies around through time and space as a home. Because nowhere it's his home. 

    Anyway, this is just a silly derail. Someone posed a question on ow do these guy would look like and them looking as human seems to be a big deal both for Chagen and Ed. So...let's give them that.
  • Maybe it's the mentality itself. "Treating someone as a pet"

    For the most part, Pets are inferior to us, It's not something we can really change, but we work around it.

    Some pet owners scold their pets for peeing on the carpet. Smart pet owners realize their pets don't/can't/accidentally don't know any better and work off of that.

    You can still treat someone with all the respect in the world even after highlighting their flaws compared to your species.
  • "Maybe it's the mentality itself. "Treating someone as a pet""

    This.

    THIS.

    The whole "pet" mentality rubs me off the wrong way. And is insulting.

    "Some pet owners scold their pets for peeing on the carpet. Smart pet owners realize their pets don't/can't/accidentally don't know any better and work off of that."

    Your analogy fails because humans do know better.
