I love re-reading Chobits *-* The artstyle and story are so pretty!

(And this is some good Stardust&Minus redraw material)

hi. will you write five paragraphs about the vagina button.

okay fine. warning this is going to be me reaching and thinking way deeper about the subject than clamp ever did.

the answer to "chobits why are you like this" is because society is saturated in sex.

I think that the CSA argument is unkind because chii/elda and freya are not children, not really. they also aren't really adults. they're not mammals at all. they don't age. they're machines. they were constructed to fill a role within a nuclear family to which neither of them was especially suited. they were designed to simulate the human experience as closely as any constructed creature in history ever had, which (perhaps inadvertently) included the desire for romantic love. his "daughter" falling desperately in love with him was not something that her creator could have anticipated. these were two brand new beings, the very first of their kind, and they were introduced into a society with power dynamics and taboos that were frankly not suited to the kind of creatures that they are. subsequently the desire for romantic love that freya felt for her creator drove her so insane that she more or less committed suicide over it.

I think the CSA argument is inaccurate because genitalia are not inherently sexual. secondary sexual characteristics are not inherently sexual. sexuality is something that is unavoidably imposed by force upon these characteristics. it is a very common source of trauma for developing children to have gained characteristics that are suddenly perceived by their surrounding society as sexual. do I think that persocoms in general were designed specifically to be fucked safely? it's possible. society is saturated in sex, and people are going to fuck anything that they put their minds to. do I think the chobits, elda and freya, were designed with this purpose in mind? not necessarily. if you were going to design a human woman that is as close to an organic creature as possible, why would you omit these characteristics? why would you assume nefarious intent in their inclusion?

chii/elda enters the story as a complete outsider to the sexual undercurrents of society. she has no conception of the sexually charged nature of undergarments, feels absolutely no shame in nudity or in revealing clothing, is ignorant of what the people in hideki's dirty magazines are doing, doesn't get the innuendo in the natto/batter panels, and is exploited by men manipulating her body over and over again for their own purposes at various points in the story. there is no indication in the text that chii is capable of feeling sexual desire (there is no indication that persocoms do in general). as a general rule, sexuality is something that is outside of her, and imposed upon her.

from a watsonian standpoint, I don't think there is a good argument for why the everloving fuck mihara would ever have put chii/elda's reset button in her vagina. from a doylist standpoint, what I believe clamp is trying to ask is this: in a society that is obsessed with sex, that is unable to stop talking about and thinking about sex, that is unable to stop imposing sexuality upon even objects that are arguably fundamentally incapable of experiencing desire or reciprocating in any way, is a relationship with somebody with whom you cannot consummate this kind of relationship worth it? is romantic love? the story wants to say that it is. it can be read as an asexual narrative - a relationship with chii is worth pursuing even if she is incapable of providing the one thing that society says all relationships must be for. there is nothing broken about her or wrong with her the way that she is. she is not lesser because hideki cannot have sex with her, and that he is written to be a sex-obsessed pervert is intended to make this decision deeper. she does not need to change who she is and he shouldn't try to change her. it fumbles the bag really hard on this. it's not well-written. but I see the bones of it. the message is there even if it's mishandled.

anyway umineko did this better. read umineko as a chaser btw.

csa warning in a fictional capacity

that we learn So Little about the dad in chobits despite him being the cause of every problem on earth (invented the persocoms, built chi and her sister) makes me crazy.

there is a deeply unkind reading of the situation with freya and elda and their father if you look at the fact those two were so isolated from other people that nobody knew they existed to the point of being an urban myth. their parents dressed them Like That, and freya completely shut down and broke because she was so messed up from keeping the secret about being in love with her father. and we only get told this story from the perspective of the wife, who loved that man, and the memory of freya, who loved that man. can we take either of them as objective truthtellers?

the man built his robot daughters with teenage bodies and genitalia. there is a much darker story here than CLAMP is willing to tell.

and the reason i say this is a deeply unkind reading is because the text that Is there is so light on the details, so hands off on everything, so insistent that the father was a good man with his heart in the right place, that i can't support it with text. it's full extrapolation based purely on aesthetic and dramatic choices that the story does not care to assign any moral value. it does not see anything wrong with chi's mother putting her in a dress that is designed to show her underwear. that's fine. it's just a pretty drawing. it's CLAMP.

Get to know Dr. Deidre Destrange better with this nifty character inspiration grid!

Explanations below.

Massive protoViolence spoilers incoming - so if you haven't already, why not try the game for yourself?

Benjamin Sisko: Should be fairly obvious if you've watched DS9, but if you haven't: it's his willingness to help people, even if it means going against Starfleet's directive...

...Much like Dee going against STOP.

(Which reminds me - I still need to finish Season 7... HELP)

Jotaro Honma: He's a fairly minor character in Black Jack, but Dr. Honma's relationship with Black Jack and the impact he had on his life (as well as the way Dr. Honma's legacy is treated by later physicians) is much like the relationship and impact that Dee had on Pavel's life.

Chitose Hibiya: Again - like Jotaro Honma, Chitose is a minor character with a big impact on the story, especially towards the end of Chobits. The motherly scientist role she has with Elda/Chii also influenced the relationship Dee has with Pavel.

Serge Battour: Serge's soft-spoken, yet hardworking/role-model personality influenced a lot of Deidre's own personality. Also - his willingness to understand and stay by someone who was ostracized by many others (Gilbert)...

Homura Akemi: Personality reasons. Dee initially starts as someone who believes that she can work with the system she's in to achieve her goals (much like Homura and the Puella Magi system)... but grows more jaded as she realizes the truth.

Brigid Tenenbaum: Again - motherly scientist stuff: but she feels deep guilt for the experimented children that are currently under her care - since she was responsible for devising the experiments in the first place.

...Much like Dee and her research directly leading to the YTDI's experiments on children.

Shiori Honda: For personality reasons, but also because she shows genuine support to students in her school that are considered outcasts by many; much like Dee does with Pavel.

Alphys: If you've played Undertale's pacifist ending you know exactly why she's on here.

I hope this gives you a better idea of what went into creating protoViolence's protagonist!
