I just can't understand, it seems like somewhat beyond me. Is that because "IT" has a female voice, sort of face, human-alike motivations to rule and command, so you (homo-sapiens) can easily associate "IT" with another human-person?
I mean, just google SHODAN, and there will be tons of fan-art with "IT" in human-like proportions. Where is this pathetic need to associate someone/something with human is coming from? Is it so hard or probably impossible to sympathized with Many, or are they just too inhuman to understand?
I have a theory that some part of population while receiving information that considered to be inhuman will not understand it, they will be just like "errr.. what?" I mean when you hear "You pathetic insect, why are you so slow?" or "Our biology yearns to join with yours… We welcome you to our mass… ", what you would likely understand better? I felt so much joy listening to Korenchkin's logs (my favorite logs of entire game, can listen them again and again), such a great character! I instantly became fan of The Many, and I thought almost everyone would. But no... So.. Why The Many aren't popular? is it so scary to associate yourself with biomass, something not social, something inhuman? Is it scary to associate yourself with brain-like structure (Beautiful Psi-Reavers <3)?
And the other option, to associate yourself with human with cyborg-implants, why of course, human-look remains, new abilities given, kinda obvious choice for some people, eh?
Oh well, never mind, I guess I answered my own question.
P.S. Glory to the Many!
