i cannot even begin to explain how deeply tasteless this is, and how deeply telling it is of where the fr fandom's mindset's priorities are

like please, keep comparing your liking of a png in a dragon game to the very real probability of incoming queer genocide in america. i'd love to hear it. you're absolutely a persecuted minority under siege from an oppressive force that will very likely kill you in the near future for liking a dragon in a dragon game. it's definitely not wildly out of touch at all.

could genetic engineering make versions of one sophont's food edible to another's?

There's way too many variables in food and basic incompatibilities in molecular mechanics for that to be a realistic goal.

reminds me of how sugar is a chiral molecule (IE it has 2 distinct forms that curl in opposite directions) but all sugar made by living things only curls one way, but lab made sugar is equally distributed between left-hand sugar and right-hand sugar. Basically if living things had enzymes for breaking down both kinds of sugar, it drastically reduces the effectiveness of cells because there's a much reduced chance of a sugar molecule hitting the correct enzyme for its handedness. So one creature started producing more enzyme for one direction than the other, another started producing that same direction, they outcompeted the ones producing enzymes and sugars in both directions, and now the world's ecosystem all uses the same handedness of sugar and enzyme. So now imagine that a human tried to eat sugar, regular sugar, no problem, from another sophont's world. It's curled the wrong way. All of that energy is missed, and who knows what happens to it in the body without the proper enzymes to break it down. That's one of the most basic parts of biology and it'd immediately go wrong even if they had sugar like we do.

We actually do know what happens when humans eat a lot of left handed glucose because it's a great tasting sugar replacement (besides excessive manufacturing costs). It's a laxative. It will give you diarrhea.

Another "fun" example of incompatible foods is xylitol, a common enough sugar substitute, really good for diabetics, not good for many animals; it will kill them super quick. Our human bodies are able to differentiate the difference between xylitol and normal glucose, A dog's body (as an example) cannot, so it will keep making insulin trying to process the "sugar" (actually an alcohol) and they will rapidly (30 minutes ~ 12 hours) become hypoglycaemic alongside extreme liver damage.

To have an Idea; with the above stated, the difference between Glucose (sugar) and Xylitol is 1 Carbon and 1 Oxygen (as well as structural differences but still), just 2 molecules not being there is the difference between a fat dog and a dead dog, now add all the stuff with proteins; the stuff that allergens are from

So, I have a test in two days, so a fun way to deal with the stresso is drawing some silly little creatures

and just wanna prefice for this case, there isnt really a difffrence between a body and cloth here. They are the blood inside that controls outside

In a world where being a robot is illegal. And people are racist towards robots. The robots are trying to have a heavyhanded civil rights movement. There's robot super crack that gives robots super powers. All robot racism comes from Senator Racism, who is running for president.

Our protagonists, model minority robot, and nice cop, must work together to ensure that Senator Racism is not elected. And guess what? They are lesbians.

Model Minority Robot is childhood best friends with Terrorist Robot, who is sympathetic but goes too far and is a villain now.

Nice Cop looks up to Older Cop, who is eventually revealed to be Very Racist, or corrupt. There is a scene where Nice Cop says racism is bad and walks away from something dramatically. Nothing fundamentally changes.
