Why are they all crying?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
I could never own one of those things. Digital animal cruelty somehow gets me worse than the real thing.

Digital animal cruelty somehow gets me worse than the real thing. really? why do you think that is?Not sure. I seem to consider computers as potentially alive as people. If they're giving off the same signals of sentience, I don't use how the systems operate to produce the signals as criteria of whether it's a "real person" or not.A digital pet is fucked over worse than an IRL pet if it's being neglected, because it doesn't have the communication means to bark or yowl in a way that passers-by might hear. It's completely isolated, in a completely rigid system.
No, and it's true that I can override my gut reaction with logic - I'm well aware that a neopet is not sentient, though I still wouldn't take any pleasure out of owning one. I thought you were looking for the reasons for the gut reaction.
