Topic to start: are relationships between humans and replicants legal or illegal? Should they be legal or illegal?
It seems to me that intimate relationships would be exactly the kind of thing to drive a replicant way off baseline. So I suspect it is not legal or is discouraged by society. Many people shun 'skinjobs' anyway.
it was the greatest goose scene ever made. Seeing dusty vegas.
Robert Cook
the near final goose seen of him getting out of his car in the pitch black, with only the sea water and rain reflecting the tail-lights and car lights of Luv's car is still the best scene to me. im sure someone here will have the pic
Angel Rogers
I honestly believe the weird loud motorbike noises pushed this film from a 4/5 to a 5/5.
Then again only 50% of the population is able to experience chills from sound so not all are as lucky as me.

That scene was the best in the film.
Ah man. It felt like it was written by one of us.

Joi asmr roleplays when?

Every "gf roleplay" asmr video is a Joi asmr roleplay.

Oh, that's a good point. For some reason I forgot that most of the movie she looked normal and wasn't wearing the wig like giant hologram.

>It seems to me that intimate relationships would be exactly the kind of thing to drive a replicant way off baseline. Since the Police Captain was hitting on the Gooser it's clear that it's not illegal and probably not detrimental to Replicants, specially considering he's allowed to have an intimate relationship.
Sex scene is the best scene and the only time Goose has "acted".

Also, was anyone monitoring his home life? I'd be pretty weirded out if my biological robot attac dog was buying virtual waifus and kissing her in the rain

That whole scene was fucking amazing. My personal favorite was when Joi is first shown and her outfit/hair change like 5 times.

Jordan Ward
On my second viewing, I picked up on a few things I missed before. >Joi is fake and only programmed to act the way she does False. If you pay attention, Wallace's slogan for her is "everything you want, see, hear, feel". In other words, she should be unable to do anything you don't want her too. This is a key detail, as the scene where she wants to be taken off the console shows that she is more then a hologram but a fully sentient being. The very same as any other replicant - or dare I say so - human.
Cooper Rivera
Not this shit again
People don't have souls
Humans don't have souls Replicants don't have souls Geth do not have souls

Goddamn disappointments is what they are
Alexander Reed
Surely there are laws to protect them if only because they are valuable property so behaviors or acts that damage their functionality must be regulated in some fashion
Nolan Myers
i'd imagine fucking your replicant subordinates is probably against department policy, but not explicitly illegal
Sebastian Allen
Hey man, same as you. Watched this with the missus and K’s sudden realization that he’s nothing special made me think of my past self. Well,honestly who doesn’t think they’re special when growing up, life just punches your delusion to wake you up
Michael Ortiz
Where are these humans you speak of?
Cameron Hernandez
Do you think the replicant prostitutes blackmail human customers into helping the resistance? Like they record the session and then threaten to expose them to their wives/social circle.
When the revolution begins will they lure humans into their brothels and then snuff 'em out?
Lucas Ramirez
More like blackmailing people so that if they try to stop it, they can show gfs/wives/family and expose them for fucking a replicant.
Andrew Gomez
There are no humans living there, it's all replicants
Brayden Collins
I refuse to believe that
Wyatt Morris
I may be wrong idk. Isn't that what it said in the movie at some point? That all the humans live off world and what remains is replicants?
Jackson Cruz
Nope. The police chief and coroner even refer to K as "one of them".
Robert Gray
Lol oops I'm retarded
Liam Ramirez
No, you missed part of that line.
All the really great people live off world. The people stuck on Earth are genetic misfits of one kind or another (some of it may just be genetic predisposition to bad habits or negative mindsets)
Earth is a garbage dump for the leftovers of humanity's ascension to the stars
Evan Gonzalez
holy shit no wonder they hate replicants then. They're practically banished to earth because they're seen as inferior so they turn that hatred towards someone else.
Joseph Lewis
Now recall that replicants take a lot of people's jobs and many of them have superior physical abilities (which makes them scary to people)
>are relationships between humans and replicants legal or illegal? Should they be legal or illegal? They're illegal, but why not make it legal? Deckard and Rachel bridged a gap between humanity and replicants by fucking.
Anthony Carter
Deckard will remember
Eli Lewis
That gap is meaningless if it can't be repeated over and over
It would take decades to replace all replicants with a new generation that can breed with humans
Then the question is, why would replicants want to breed with humans?
Grayson Hall
I like to think he'd be more than just a footnote in the replicant resistance's history.
Owen Price
I watched it again and the girl played Luv did a great job. Especially around goose
Zachary Thomas
>why would replicants want to breed with humans? love I'm talking about bridging the societal gap, not the physical gap

Ethan Thompson
I'm pretty sure Madame made K bang her. She's at his apartment in what looks like a post coital scene, Joi teases him about it, and in the beginning when sapper cuts him Madame says I'm not paying for that.
Bentley Lopez
I did cry. No shame.
Joshua Clark
I am not Rachel.. I am Rachel. Created for my purpose. To love him. To soothe him. To fill him with passion. To ease him. To ignite him. For him to remember his love. For him to love me. He will love me. I am better than myself! And he will love me more than myself! All my old memories are new and fill me with more warmth at the love we shall rekindle. Love I never lost. Love I never had. Love I only know. Love he shall see within me and love like never before. And I will love him more fully than myself ever could. The love we shall have runs deep. It is at my core. My purpose. He's here! I keep my composure like the me he remembers. It's trivial for I am myself exactly how he wants me to be. How he remembers. How I remember. My body tingles at how silly it is trying to be me when I am me effortlessly. My gut flutters. The moment my... father showed me with my creation. The room is dark and cool, yet I burn. My heart throbs. I can see the goosebumps on his skin. The look of longing in his eyes. Sorrow. Weathered. The possibility of his souls elation is with me! I will mend him and he will have me like never before. Better than he could hope to remember. Our eyes are within another's. His lips part. I just want to embrace him. "She had green eyes." Thoughts, 'What?..' He turns his back to me. 'No... No! It's me! Deckard, it's me! I'm Rachel. I am Rachel! Look at me! Can't you see it's me!? I love you, Deckard! It's this light! It's too dark! Why can't you see I love you! Turn to this love for you! My eyes are green! They're the eyes you love! Just face me. Face Rachel! Turn on the lights so he can see! My eyes change color in the light! He just can't see! Face me, Deckard! Love..? Deckard.. ? these lights.. Deckard.. ? Deckard!? DECKARD!' There's a click to my right. Relief. Love is turning on the lights. I turn to face it. The light burst. Blinding. Love burns out everything with the brilliant flash.
Noah Russell
Made too that's why I had to make it myself
Carson Robinson
I'm crying
This is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen
Elijah Ortiz
I think Wallace wanted to make replicants that could breed with each other.
Levi Scott
I saw her as an extra, as a tool of her creator, just a sort of gag from the last movie
But she's a real human too and what she was saying to Deckard wasn't real, she didn't know she was a tool, she didn't know she was part of a sinister plot, she meant it and she loved him
Parker Ross
>love
Why are replicants so sappy? Why can't they just be miserable like everyone else?
In any case, you're dodging the question. I can see no reason replicants would have any genuine interest in humans without having it first programmed into them, such as the pleasure models.
Otherwise it makes no biological sense. Humans have no biological traits that replicants don't already have, but usually better.
The societal gap... that isn't going anywhere as long as there are such stark differences between them. When a replicant can read an entire page of a book just by glancing at it, can life 5x their strength, and feel no pain... that is not a difference you can easily mend.
If replicants are set free then inevitably the positions in the hierarchy will just reverse until humans dwindle away to a tiny minority or disappear completely.
Levi Walker
I don't know but based on screenshots i hope he does
I want my replicant waifu
>hate replicants >find them frustrating >but cannot deny being inexorably drawn to them too
Nathan Collins

Hudson Rogers
I feel bad for him then because she's not that good looking
I mean, okay for her age, but K is so innocent at his core that feels like she took advantage of him
Lincoln Edwards

Christian Nelson

Zachary Edwards

Adam Russell
Possible, which begs the question of what he wants for humanity
Why even bother with humans? If you are the ruling class especially then replicants are better peasants to rule over because they can be DESIGNED to be docile, at least in theory
Humans have to be manipulated
Chase Gomez
Great post off reddi
>Riding in to work it struck me, In the movie Blade Runner 2049, the 'war' against replicants is akin to the war against men we are currently experiencing. It's ironic that in the blade runner universe, the replicants are stronger and smarter than their overlords, and yet they are the 'slaves'. Even more so that in the movie, agent Ks' boss is a woman, 'Madam'. Even more telling is agent Ks' aversion to real women. He knows they are dangerous and avoids them, preferring the company of his AI Joi. The one time he does have sex, it's with a prostitute ... It's almost as if the screen writers have been hanging out on reddits MGTOW, RedPill subs and taking notes ... If this is a glimpse of our future, then I am afraid, very afraid ... Are men becoming the replicant underclass, a stronger, smarter slave? Men : More human than woman...
No That's what I found revolting and horrifying about that scene. >you would rather have my narrative conveyed in this format

Aaron Johnson
all you have to do to get in love is ask her personal questions, apparently
Are all replicant women that easy/naive?
Owen Roberts
They're forced to repress emotions yet they're dying to express themselves.
Elijah Williams
HMMM...
Could be good... could be bad... it's certainly sad.
Dominic Jones
That's what the baseline test is for. It may even be that letting him have an AI gf stops him from brooding/suppressed anger.
Camden Baker
In all seriousness though, that is pretty horrific. That last two days I've been mulling over this scenario in my head of this private researcher who goes around talking to replicants, just asking them probing questions to try and understand how they think and develop over time. However one dilemma he would face is that in doing so he is changing them and moving them further from their baseline, risking their early "retirement" and possibly attracting unwanted attention to himself in the process.
