Look.
The creative urge is also the destructive urge. Right?
And one cant really be held responsible for what other people choose to do with the things one makes. Alfred nobel was trying to make mining safer instead he ended up ushering in a new and terrible era in war. Fritz haber invented the haber process to feed germany, not build bombs! The people who built the early internet are all horrified by what it has become.
Thats just an unfair standard of judgement. Do you think we should never build new things? Content ourselves with fire, perhaps bags knives and wheeled carts if we want to edge things? Even anprims think lean-tos are worth building.
So this last month ive spent designing the restraint system and tactile feedback mechanism for our new r1488 rape missile comissioned by the idf is just cool engineering work. If i didnt do it somebody else would. Somebody else might get it wrong. You know our department lead didnt even consider sensitivity differences in circumcised vs uncircumcised penises for the pilot feedback mechanism? Nobody else considered that an AFAB person might wear the feedback suit. You need a woke kinky queer in here to prevent sub-optimal pleasure for the end user–to prevent hurting more people.
Plus, as an engineer, im special and deserve special treats a six figure salary affords. How dare you suggest i live like a normal person. How DARE you!
Have you considered renaming the rape missile
Marketing has considered calling it the 'skorzeny' rape missile rather than the R1488 rape missile but theres a lot of tension internally on which name is better. Most of our customers love both names of course, but internally were still optimizing with focus groups.
Im just an engineer, not marketing or client relations. Not my department.
Edit: Now if youll excuse me, i need to finish this guidance for the teledildonics standard were using internally the new generation of semi-autonomous rape-reapers were putting out. Aggregating the feedback of a swarm for a single end user's pleasure a general president or minister is very difficult. A lot of our engineers still arent considering the possibility of AFAB users. Would you really rather women be meaningfully excluded from these roles?
Yes it's now the superrape missile, thanks for your time
“Sexual assault missile” is too many words. Woke has gone too far.
And you can't abbreviate it because SAM is already taken by surface-to-air missiles.
while I can't speak on most of this, I will say the most relevant words I ever heard on the subject.
"If you can't predict what some one will use your ideas for to harm another creature. you should never share it as you cannot mitigate it by design". no matter what you make, some one will turn it into a weapon as the desire for weak, small people to supplement themselves through violence is ever present through human history.
greatest weapon of all time was the pen. it's not mightier than the sword at violence, but can silence a sword in a single stroke.
I think it takes at least a few strokes in every case.
Swords, also, are pretty good at silencing pens. Usually in one stroke/thrust.
