So rather than spec the rubies to degrade half of humanity into actual sex slaves, the rubied ladies are closer to bdsm slaves.
Could you elaborate on the difference?
Let me describe in terms of how the rubies would theoretically work:
rather than have the rubies upgraded to be painfully powerful, like the later half of the comic, they remain subtle and sublimate like with the first 4-5 girls we see.
Put another way its the difference between softcore pornography and hardcore pornography. The george monsonis of beyond rubies is clearly more of a hardcore guy, whereas the story plays out completely differently if he's more of a gentle softy fellow. And you know, not fucking other peoples wifes. Kinda an asshole move there, georgie.
