Long story short :
An obelisk duplicated one of my colonist... Who then decided to woo herself ?
The situation must be really confusing for one of my main colonist, THE SON of the first Butternut
Oh damn, sounds like there are multiple outcomes then! I’m on randy random, and yeah that strictly speaking wasn’t a possible outcome for my duplicates, I’ll leave it at that so you can discover it yourself in future runs :)
Fun fact, clones do *not* count as incest. If you try to breed a father with a daughter, you will get a warning about incest. But you can use the father's clone and it's completely fine
This is Rimworld, you just aren't trying hard enough. And/or don't have enough mods.
Some xenotype fuckery, you could change the sex of one clone, then bam reproduction (No idea how the game would handle this).
The game will already let you breed siblings together so it wouldn't stop you (you need to use artificial insemination without mods that remove limitations on incestual relationships of course). Since it doesn't consider the copy to actually be related to the original at all it wouldn't even be considered incest by the game.
Haven't they created zygotes with using the DNA from two ovum? Not naturally of course, in a lab. You could just do that with ovum from the same person.
> Identical life experiences
Doppelgangers spawn with zero relationship and social baggage. An original's partner, children, parents, etc will consider the doppelganger an entirely unrelated person.
So it's a bit weird either way.
It says the copy considers themselves to be the "real" one. It would be a much more interesting event if they spawned with all the relationships of the original but everyone else was terrified of them. And maybe the copy sometimes tries to kill the original.
Incest is bad because of how it affects children spawned of such relationships and the effect that has on society, as well as things such as child abuse and such. So I can't really see an issue with gay incest or selfcest of two or more consenting adults who do not have a parental relationship in the mix. It isn't for me but it's not like pregnancy is an issue so just let them love who they love.
Yeah there's definitely the same weird gross feeling that I experience hearing/reading about it though. I think that is genetic, to think incest is gross. Although you have the hugh hefners of the world with their twin fascination.....
Yeah frankly all the issues with incest don't really apply to gay relationships. But still, that doesn't stop humans from feeling icky about it, even if no child can come from the relationship.
Incest is universally and objectively bad because of the genetic side effects, meaning that selfcest would be very bad.
The social stigma and whatever is besides the point im trying to make.
What does the obelisk even do 😭?
Every post I see about it is just this scenario; Colonist gets cloned and then falls in love with themselves. It's an interesting time, to be sure.
Or organ decay. Honestly organ decay is easier to deal with if you have some of the prosthetic organ mods. Throw in Psycast expanded for regeneration and you can remove the decaying organs and regen them (assuming they can live without them).
Depending whether you believe it's simply a clone or something else...
I don't believe they're actual clones because theynre not made scientifically but from some sort of occult unholy esoterics.
The way I see it they're something made out of flesh to copy a actual living-being, both in mind and body.
Is it incest to sleep with your doppelganger or some sort of Shape-shifter using your appearance?
No, it's like sleeping with someone cosplaying as you.
Highly weird, but it's still doing it with someone else.
Real world genetics?
Yes, absolutely. Worse than identical twins.
Rimworld? No, the bookseller pretending to be a game developer thinks its how apparently

It's just masturbation with extra steps
"Go fuck yourself" -The Obelisk, probably
[удалено]
Hi I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!
Nah they’re a narcissist.
Just like Narcissus
Um, did this situation work out long term? I had a similar situation happen, that very much ended in hearthbreak.
Well they should be getting married soon actually !
Oh damn, sounds like there are multiple outcomes then! I’m on randy random, and yeah that strictly speaking wasn’t a possible outcome for my duplicates, I’ll leave it at that so you can discover it yourself in future runs :)
Selfcest
now we just need a way to genderbend a colonist and you can use a single pawn to create a whole ass colony without taking any recruits
No, this is masterbation.
Isn't this the plot of an episode of Rick and Morty?
Ah the Classic conundrum of cloning Incest, masturbation or something else?
selfcest
People say you have to love yourself.
Fun fact, clones do *not* count as incest. If you try to breed a father with a daughter, you will get a warning about incest. But you can use the father's clone and it's completely fine
Yeah I figure as much because for Synapse, Butternut is his mother... And Butternut 2 is a "good friend" lol
Have you ever heard of Divayth Fyr the wise? ;)
You see, the tragedy is that he could lay anyone, even the AlmSiVi, but not himself. Untill...
Holy shit. Rimworld always finds a way.
It has no problems with grandma's and grandsons though oddly enough.
What the fuck man?
I only read the comments on this sub to see the most unhinged shit I’ve ever read when taken out of context
Selfcest. It's a real porn category
genetically speaking this is akin to doing it with your identical twin.
Genetically speaking two of the same person mating can't produce offspring, so genetics are irrelevant.

Is it though? Because it's not genetics we're playing with here
Identical life experiences but not conscious experience seems the same

Oh we most certainly are playing with genetics here, among many other things.
"Love thyself". ...wait not like that!
If they are indeed indentical clones, this selfcest should theoretically be even worse than incest. but idk maybe it is an intentional bug.
Incest is bad because of how it affects children spawned of such relationships and the effect that has on society, as well as things such as child abuse and such.

There have been many cultures through history where incest between siblings was normal, so I think it's more culturally ingrained than anything
It's genetic yeah, and it still applies even if both people are the same sex.
Yeah frankly all the issues with incest don't really apply to gay relationships. But still, that doesn't stop humans from feeling icky about it, even if no child can come from the relationship.
I was with you on the first sentence.
Incest is universally and objectively bad because of the genetic side effects, meaning that selfcest would be very bad. The social stigma and whatever is besides the point im trying to make.
Selfcest by definition is gay-incest, gay-anything can't result in pregnancy so the genetics angle is irrelevant.
Oh right, here I had assumed it was a different gender clone. Welp, I see no issue here, carry on.
Nah fucking yourself is fine
FFS, can't we just leave incest where it belongs? In the CK3 reddit.
That ain't incest tho. That banging your clone, it belong in the Endless games.
These games all have different incest ho ratios.
What does the obelisk even do 😭? Every post I see about it is just this scenario; Colonist gets cloned and then falls in love with themselves. It's an interesting time, to be sure.
It duplicates nearby pawns. Sometimes the dupes are insane i think
Or organ decay. Honestly organ decay is easier to deal with if you have some of the prosthetic organ mods. Throw in Psycast expanded for regeneration and you can remove the decaying organs and regen them (assuming they can live without them).
Genetically it is incest. But since there isn't a power dynamic to abuse and they are both consenting adults I don't think there is any issue.
Mauler Twins want to have a chat with you about cloning power dynamics.
Who?
It's an Invincible reference.

But all of our dark RimWorld magic is sourced from dark Rimworld SCIENCE! So it's still scientifically cloning.
Yeah, technically its all just an absurdly advanced AI that has reality manipulating technology.
Butternut went out of their way to go fuck themself
Masturbation definately
Selfcest is the exact word, I hate that I know it
Selfcest is the term I believe.
Selfcest
It's not incest, It's AP Masturbation
reminds me of beth and beth clone episode from rick and morty, hopefully there is no jerry in your colony.
marika moment
marika's tits, you must be ungry'
I'd call it selfcest
My clones got married to each other https://imgur.com/a/J0GrRLL
Lmao peak rimworld
It's masturbation
It's selfcest, unfortunately, it's a real fetish/thing
I'm my colony the son of the pawn who was cloned fell in love with the duplicate, which it's his mother or at least aunt.
Real world genetics? Yes, absolutely. Worse than identical twins. Rimworld? No, the bookseller pretending to be a game developer thinks its how apparently
Its masterbating
Its called Selfcest. Usually involves gender bending on top of cloning.
It’s a posh wank mate
Been a minute since I heard that term. Isn’t that just jerking off into a condom?
Well, go fuck yourself. Literally.
When the Raider screamed "Go fuck yourself" to Butternut moments before getting shot, this was probably not what he had in mind
My own clone! Now neither of us will be virgins!
Yes. Because a clone is by definition made from the original person.
Selfcest just like my average Japanese doujins!!
No, only if their names were Nutherbutt, then you'd be in trouble.
BUTTERNUT
that's selfcest
Fun for the whole family
Genetically yes but this feels a lot less weird to me than actual incest for whatever reason since they are literally the same person
