Haven't watched Stand-Alone Complex, but from what I gathered from the movies and the manga is that civilian android bodies are a think, even if they're probably reserved for rich people, weirdoes, and people whose original body got fucked up real good.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:37 pmI like that in Ghost in the Shell you can be put into a robot body but you pay for it by being an on-demand special forces bitch. Makes a whole lot of sense, really. If they'd ever do something as expensive as that the military would be the first to do this and you'd likely have to sign some legal paper that your life is basically forfeit.
Of course, these won't be superhuman rape machines like Kusanagi, and I seem to recall an author's note from the manga (srsly, my copy has one on like every page for some reason) seems to suggest that a lot of these are genericand use basically the same face (Kusanagi even has her body modeled after one of the generics to make her look less of a special snowflake).
