I noticed we got some indirect information on the political structure here. 'Minister of the Interior', 'Minister for Culture', etc. I know that Beyond Rubies shares a loose connection with Hidden Knowledge, and some similar terms have cropped up there. The titles make it more likely to be Canada or Britain rather than the U.S., but it doesn't really feel like either of those nations.
I was thinking the same thing, but regardless were the series takes place the results are the same. While I did anticipate that giving Rubies to the ruling class would minimize the chances someone being able to stop the wide distribution of the Rubies to the general population, I didn't anticipate that Monsonis would also enslave men as well, making him the de facto ruler of the entire world eventually. Nice touch.
Clearly knowledge of the Rubies is very widespread among certain groups, given what Monsonis showed Nick this issue, but we don't know much they know. Even some of Quine's own board (the female members at least) seemed ignorant of the full scope until they were converted. Even if Nick and the harem "win", it seems like the best they might be able to do is to take control of Quine from behind the scenes and do damage control. It seems like too much knowledge is out there to just switch all the rubies off.
Well the cats out of the bag so to speak, knowing something can be done is half the battle. Even if the best possible outcome for the women were to happen, too many people know what the Rubies can do. Someone will reverse engineer the Rubies and the whole thing will start all over again, this time with a difference company pushing them out. The women of Rubies world are doomed, it just a matter who there master will be.
Let's say a product hit the market for real, where you can turn your Wife / Girlfriend into a total slut, would you buy it? No more I have a headache, I'm tired, I'm not in the mood when you want sex and no more I don't want to do that, I'll just lay here like a Japanese sex doll and are you finished yet?
I know I'd buy one or two.
This is the appeal of Mind Control Comics. Boy meets Girl, Boy brainwashes/mind controls girl, boy turns girl into a sex slave fulfilling all of his dreams and desires. The Fansadox comics follow a similar theme, Boy meets girl, boy kidnaps, rapes, and beats the ever living shit out of the girl, boy turns girl into sex slave fulfilling all of his dreams and desires. I however dislike the Fansadox theme where the boy makes the girls life a never ending hell with humiliation and pain just for the fun of it, I would prefer if she treat me well, I would treat her well exchange.
I know that the extreme lengths that Andrea's growth as depicted here is probably controversial, but I frankly loved it, and would love to see how she reacts when (if) she's returned to a more lucid state.
Yea the breast size is a little too extreme for me. I prefer the breast enlargement rate at the beginning of the series where it took weeks to increase breast size several cup sizes. Far more realistic in my opinion, gives the owner of the Rubies far more control over when to stop breast enlargement using the web interface software.
I can't wait for the next issue, I just hope it doesn't take another 7 months to release it.
