"And what happens to convicted murderers now, after the Sentenced to Serve Act?"
M'ressa deflated. "They get turned into happy little brainwashed catgirl maids."
"Yeah" said Pablo. "Be rapists next, and they're already talking about abortionists. . ."
"You're right" M'ressa sighed. "It's not worth it." She gave a faint smile. "At least not before they get to jaywalkers."
She cuddled with Pablo and started purring. It felt so good to be petted, when it what you chose to do. M'ressa thought the technology that turned people into catgirls was wonderful, its just that so many people viewed it as connected to the horror of the extinction of individuality through brainwashing. Society prided itself on the banning of abortion as murder, yet accepted thousands of suicides every day as people gave up their identities to become happy, brainwashed workers. No doubt the people really running things thought this was the perfect destiny for everyone but them. Pablo was right--the shows weren't the real problem, and attacking the producers would accomplish nothing. Still, she thought, there must be something I could do.
