One of your possible replies is "Well, today is your lucky day (push)" The guard on the landing with you just says "Someone should really put up a guard rail here, that happens too many times." The guy you push off says on his way down "Thank you."

    @SpitfiretheCat16 3 года назад +151

    I think the curiosity example is flawed. An insectoid creature of considerable size and with an obvious venemous stinger is much more likely to trigger a fear response in a human, due to a notable resemblance to predatory eusocial creatures on their homeworld that most humans are wary of due to experience or simply an instinctive repulsion towards aggressive terrestrial arthropods. Dave would be considerably more likely to attempt to destroy it or flee for his life than try to capture it, likely screaming expletives due to a natural coping mechanism against emotional shock.

    • @beastwarsFTW
      @beastwarsFTW 3 года назад +4

      It's the other way around, most species aren't equipped to deal with this type of situation so it falls on a human conflict manager to asses and properly deal with this situation. Do not worry if this happens as the manager is part of the security forces and is trained to help you with the situation. The human conflict manager may be a human to avoid human discrimination complaints but they will not take the human's side just because they are also a human.

    • @goldengryphon
