Isn't it messed up of William to place child souls into these provocative figures? I wouldn't go around placing such heavy accusations against him, but it shows how unaware he is in the name of science.
Terrible, terrible tunnel vision.
While you're here, let's exchange ideas together.
Do you think the soul adapts to the body it's chosen? That, after a while, the soul believes it's an animatronic like Freddy, like Ballora? What afterlife would it believe it would go to then, if it's the soul of a fictional character? Would their late relatives recognize them? Would their soul self look more organic or animatronic?
Or do you believe the soul stays consistent? That, no matter what changes has been done to the body, the children's souls remain how they were? That says a lot about how you view transitioning, right?
Or perhaps, the soul and body are separate entities, and our souls can be some type of avatar that the mind can project a variety of forms to. How we looked when we were 12, our ideal self, or an object like a chair.
Body dysmorphia can take on a variety of forms, don't it? Such a fascinating topic, especially if one starts applying the idea that humans have souls.
