Greetings, I am speaking today to ask what may seem like an odd question.

[Despite it being an odd question, Alice looks rather serious when she proceeds to ask it. The use of video was to hopefully get the attention of more people.]

For this question, let us assume the following scenario. You find yourself in possession of a life sized replica, or puppet, of someone that you know. As it is a puppet of sorts, it is not a perfect recreation, but it appears to be the same until further investigation. You are able to control it's every single motion, but it is only able to do anything that you yourself are capable of doing,

If you were to be in this situation, what would you do?

... What's with that look?

[undefines]

I'm starting to change my mind about whether or not you're creepy.

[shanghaiworld]

Should I try saying that again with different words?

[undefines]

You should stop being weird.

[shanghaiworld]

I am not weird!

[undefines]

So making a life-sized doll of someone and pretending to be them with it is totally normal?

[shanghaiworld]

Of course not.

I don't think anybody else could actually pull it off. That makes it special.

[undefines]

I don't think many people would want to do it even if they could.

[shanghaiworld]

And you? You haven't given an answer yourself yet.

[undefines]

I wouldn't have a doll like that in the first place, so I can't say what I would do with it. [...] I guess I could use it to scare people, though.

[shanghaiworld]

Including yourself, if just the idea creeps you out so much.

[undefines]

It would be different if I made it just to scare other people. Though I guess it would still be a little weird if I did it without permission...

[shanghaiworld]

Well, if you're doing it just to scare people, why would you care if you got permission?

[undefines]

If I really wanted to scare people, I couldn't even have to go through that much trouble at all. [...] But I guess you have a point. On the other hand, if I actually liked the person I was making a doll of, I think I'd want to know if they were okay with something like that first.

[shanghaiworld]

... Would this also go for more normal sized dolls of someone? Like how mine usually are.

[undefines]

Well... I guess that'd be okay. Better, at least. I mean, it's not the same as having a replica of someone, anyway.

[shanghaiworld]

Good... because I've been doing that for ages.
