Interacting with people on hexbear reminded me a lot of Hell as visualized in Good Omens - that is, a collusion of dimwits and bootlickers stuck in a cycle of perpetuating petty grandstanding, abusive behavior, and thoughtless hostility toward any ideas different from those already approved by the community.
0/10, do not recommend.
What happens if you Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V on the Doctor's data files? Do you duplicate a sentient being?
In "Virtuoso", Tom & Harry try to reproduce the Doctor but they're basically trying to make him from scratch, so I don't think their failure is relevant.
At the end of "Author, Author" we see many repurposed EMH Mk1s working as miners:
...and they seem to be self-aware, so I guess we have to assume that it's technically feasible.
But then what happens if you Ctrl+Z?
I'm dropping this in here for anyone who's interested in the background of where RWBY came from and what happened that turned it into the darling orphan it is today.
RWBY was Rooster Teeth's second major series. I think if you're a fan it's worth knowing about Monty Oum (RWBY was basically his personal project) and his influence on the company.
This video is the best summary I've seen of Rooster Teeth's existence, how they got started, their peak, and how it fell apart. They were internet trendsetters in a lot of ways. It's worth the time to watch.
My introduction to this was through the video, so it felt appropriate to share here. I'm sure this is a reupload and I saw it somewhere else earlier than 2012.
You can actually play with it on the creator's website:
This popular successor to the original Turbo Encabulator has now been itself succeeded by the impressive Hyper Encabulator. There seems to be no end to clever innovation in the important field of encabulation.
How does this community feel about including content from other classic/deprecated animation & video sources like atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds, &etc which has since found its way onto YouTube? does the origin source have to be purely YouTube? are there other/better communities for such things?

“Ok for those of you that haven't figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren't gentle about it- so there's not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can't so we're just going to follow the new rules and that's that. Nothing personal if I don't like and reply like I used to. I'll be focusing on the store and the occasional video. Thanks for understanding, it was fun while it lasted”
Naomi Wu mentions briefly on her silencing and how she is not nearly as safe as she was before now that it’s obvious to the Chinese government her disappearance won’t cause an uproar of bad press making China look bad.
