AH I don't want to correct you but HIC never influenced Jane! Jane can't be held responsible for her actions under the crocker tier thing because it was only an AI basically driving around her body. one that ARquius said was even more superior than he was. I have evidence from the comic if you want me to go find it? I'm not usually one to come to Janes aid in defending her because I'm not a huge fan but she shouldn't be held responsible for those things she did to Jake because it was all the AI.
I deeply disagree, the things Jane did and said to Jake were at least partially from a place of deep seated and yeah pretty dark entitlement, she still shows flashes of her own personality while under the influence of that headband and I think any reading that completely absolves Jane (or Jade) is reductive and kind of boring so I’ll stick with mine, you do you
(why would a completely unaffiliated AI give a shit about dave calling her hot, about being so jealous of Roxy’s bond with Rose that she literally attempts to murder Rose (and instead murders Roxy), about choosing Jake, specifically, to be her captive trophy husband (”you’re lucky you’re so hot”, that is not an AI speaking, that is Jane) and so and and so on and so on – but honestly, I REALLY am not here to argue about it, just – you’re not gonna change my mind)
Okay but,
I mean, we can blame Jane and nag her for so much of the other things she did but the one thing she honestly didn’t do?
Like yeah it’s more interesting if you blame Jane, sorry that this is “boring” but. Hey, sometimes the more fun way isn’t exactly right.
why the actual blessed fuck would HIC design an AI that blushes when dave calls it hot and gets jealous of roxy’s friendship with rose
