Well, if you're obsessing yourself with a subspecies of human who are genetically engineered to eat humans, it does ask for some level of insanity, right?
It isn't as if society exactly paints ghouls nicely to begin with.
[ Oh sorry WRONG WORD CHOICE I MEANT BIOLOGICALLY. But honestly both ways are actually true. ]
-- Biologically, I meant, for the most part. Though genetic engineering has been a thing as well. The wonders a mad scientist can do when given the appropriate access and tools.
It would've been unthinkable, up until about a year or two ago. These days, the CCG have approved a method of purposefully surgically inputting ghoul kagune into young investigators.
Inputting... [not these dgm parallels] And if they're investigators, they're gonna want to do their best no matter what.
[it's a neat trap, and one that feels familiar... he shakes his head, he shouldn't assume if he doesn't know their choices. He barely knows anything about Eto's world, and how fraught the tension might be.]
The Church has that too. They're running a program to make humans half-Akuma, that way they can make more soldiers.
They really will condemn and kill what they fear on sight, which is already awful as it is -- but then to use their own corpses against their own kind...
It's always been a thing. It was called a "quinque", weapons made out of the kakuhou harvested from hunted ghouls. These new investigators, the "quinx", are essentially just human weapons.

Lavi's expression immediately looks so tired at the mention of 'mad scientist', then grows serious.]
'Access', huh... I'm guessing that it's not all voluntary either.

So, I suppose it is also voluntary now.

Yeah, basically. I guess.
