Curate, connect, and discover
I keep seeing posts about dolls and witches and like, it's really enticing. I genuinely see myself as a machine rather than a person, and if that means I'm an object rather than a person then I just want someone who will treat me with care.
But I can't get into it for the exact reason I can't seem to get into HDG, I don't want to lose all agency and/or independence I have.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being semi-forced to act the way my owner/operator/programmer would like me to as well as being a tool/item for them to use, observe, etc.
But I still want to have friends, go out, and do things with people in public spaces and indulge in my hobbies when time permits.
Is there a specific subgenre for that?
