    I’m surprised in the year of our Lord, 2025, we’ve still only had a couple of serious interspecies relationship pieces in popular media. You would think with the tech we have no there would be so many science fiction stories and romantic comedies about people and odd sapient creatures or monsters in wacky romances.

    And I mean fucking daring stuff. Even Shape of Water was almost tame, dude just looked like a jacked fishy man. But going in the right direction.

    I genuinely think it would be good for society to mentally play with the far edges of our social constructs.

      I so agree. The whole bear thing in Baulder’s Gate 3 was pretty awesome. But I want more, and bolder.

      Why the fuck aren’t there any quadrupedal species dating humanoids in Star Trek??
