I don’t know, it just seems like an interesting psychological/philosophical question to ponder

@Prometheus labs CEO  
Im pretty sure that we wouldnt be animals to such a race as we are just diferent enough to stand out and have achieved space flight and sent probes out of the solar system(voyager 1 and 2) we would be quite primitive but by no means uninteligent

@ma3a  
I meant would a human have the mental capacity for Viable consent since the comparison between a human and a hypersentient entity would be similar to the comparison of us and an animal. AKA we’ed be Like animals by comparison

@Prometheus labs CEO  
If a hyper inteligent space pony with infinite capacity or knowledge from a civilization hundreds of millions of years beyond our own wanted to have sex with me i would have no problem consenting if there was a relationship already going on between us… Thb i would be honored if such an advanced being would choose me to have intimate sex with… literally the most average, generic, unnoticeable guy out there in a very generic and tbh lackluster M class planet

The thing I’ve always wondered is, in the case of the creature having intelligence beyond hwr of a human would it be a matter of whether YOU could consent to having sex with s being that is so far beyond you

Well now i know that its generally acceptable to go full captain kirk when an adorable space pony pursues sexual relations with me… Lets just hope that scenario actually plays out somehow

@Background Pony #F2CE  
I think that is why clop isn’t as awkward as normal beastiality: the characters have human qualities and moral compasses. As such, consent is possible, and there is a certain attraction to said qualities.

These ponies are just like us humans so…why not? ;)

@Background Pony #137E  
Isn’t it a bit arrogant to assume that were such a parallel to actually occur, we’d be the ones used as the standard, and they the ones that mostly-but-not-entirely adhere to it?

harkness test: what everyone ignores

@HJSDGCE  
Um, they have built an entire society and their values closely mirror ours. How is this not human?

I’m still debating whether or not Captain Jack has even those standards.

So which one was okay again?

yeah, fucking things that are sapient yet aren’t human is Sam’s job.

The ability to communicate is there because then you can get consent. If you can’t get consent and don’t receive consent then don’t fuck it.
 
Also this isn’t a dupe because I made this and I wasn’t aware that somebody else made a similar one

One would think the fact that they’re, y’know, FICTIONAL CHARACTERS would present the greatest roadblock to any attempt at fucking.

Sadly, theyre ponies.  
So, no human intelligence there.

Think this is a dupe. Also, I find it amusing that “Consent” isn’t one of the checks, lol

What font is in the speech bubbles?

@Huacaya  
intelligence is easy to define:  
for example, twilight sparkle is easily more intelligent than any human being  
derpy hooves is not.
