the most cliche' question of all in the chobits fandom

[lynxyoukai]

do you think it is okay to love a persocom? what about a chobit? okay, onto those of you who haven't seen chobits. a persocom is like a computer...it's a...umm..easiest way to explain it would be robot. it is a computer that looks like a person (unless it is a mobile unit -- they're really little) and in the anime a lot of people have fallen in love with one...at one time or another and i was wondering if you all thought that was right...or sick...or whatever. personally, i think it is fine...i mean you can't choose who...or what in this situation...that you fall in love with. however, they are just robots...but they seem to show emotion and really care...again, though, you can program as such. obviously, this is kind of an ongoing thing throughout the show...the question, is it right or wrong? okay, whatever your views are on a persocom and a person being together i am now going to throw a whole new wrench into the situation. a chobit is a persocom that has free will...it does feel and think for itself...not just a program telling it how to act (if the persocoms that aren't chobits even run on that alone -- i think they are more than just a computer but enough of that). so, they are machines...but not. they are machines with a heart...that might be the easiest way to explain that. in the anime there is only really one chobit that we know about...or think we know is a chobit. but, before i go and give you way too much, what are your views on a chobit and a human being in love?

oh, and p.s. i think, as i said earlier, that love is not always our choice and we will love who we are meant to...whether or not they are human...so, i definately have no problem with loving a persocom, or, obviously, a chobit.
