'but kart, how can a fully nude piece be less lewd than the other version??'

look when you have a tail pushing up underneath spats and brushing over a sensitive area, it gives a much more evocative feeling than just some nudity and there is no way i could bring myself to post that

REAL. This is so poorly understood and kinda points out where the line on how NSFW is defined is a bit arbitrary.

stories about AI usually have humanized, bipedal designs that we can easily connect to... i think AM's torment is so potent because he's rooted into the earth... he can feel as much, emotionally, as the average scifi android but can't do anything with what he feels besides, well... the horrors
