Okay, I'm not gonna be going around making any zombies or anything since apparently that's ILLEGAL and I'll respect it, but I really fucking hate that everyone I asked about that just looked at me like I ate someone's baby or something like that.

Real talk.

I can understand why it's ethically sketchy and disrespectful if someone didn't SAY they wanted to be a zombie, but this isn't the first time I've found other people treat necromancy like the worst thing you could do, magic-wise.

Someone please help me understand what the big fucking deal is because I think I'm gonna scream.

It's extremely rude! We put all that effort into properly collecting souls and making sure that a life is ended correctly, and then people like you just waltz in and start up the corpse again! It's a pain to have all these unregistered bodies walking around!

[bloodyroses]

You know what? Fair.

Everyone else so far is just like, "butbutbut it's disrespectful according to my own cultural norms that totally apply everywhere and it's an affront to the gods blah blah blah"

like, shut the hells up, if I had a dick I'd tell these people to suck it.

Disrespect for the dead has nothing to do with it! It's all about the disrespect for the time and effort of the people keeping your afterlife running smoothly!

Traditionally we just let the soul run off to wherever it's supposed to go while the body is treated like another part of the deceased's estate, so, I dunno.

You would hate Vanth so fucking much, we got skeletons around every corner.

So you just use the bodies? Not the Record?

[bloodyroses]

You have any fucking idea how difficult it is to properly rez a person?

Yeah, 99% of the time we just use the bodies.

No one in my world's been able to get it RIGHT yet.

If you're just using the corpses without the memories, I suppose that's fine. They're just like automatons.

[bloodyroses]

As a culture we've kind of been doing this for millennia now; we've had the time to get it right.

As long as it isn't causing Problems, I suppose I don't mind it.

Yeah like, a lot of folks here are making assumptions just based on however their world works, I guess?
