Hello, so before I ask anything, do you mind just ignoring my previous ask? I wrote that late at night, which was a mistake...
Anyways, I was wondering, what would Ren's thoughts be on plastic surgery? Because I know Ren is supposed to love MC and their looks, but what if MC got cosmetic surgery before meeting his Ren persona? Would he miss the old face he fell in love with, or does that not bother him at all? Like, I do understand he loves MC no matter what, and I can see him loving MC and their new face, but I feel like he'd also feel kind of sad that they felt the need to change the way they look.
Also, sorry for the long post, but this part is kind of NSFW. But you mentioned in a previous post that you couldn't decide whether you wanted Ren to lie to us that he had zero experience, or tell the truth, however you ultimately decided that he was telling the truth about having zero experience. Now, that made me think, if you decided to go the other route, why would he sleep with other people before MC? Is it to gain experience, or to satisfy his lust since he didn't want to force MC to sleep with him?
Also, last question, I PROMISE (I'm so sorry). In your previous posts (from 2023 or 2024), you made AI chatbots (I think it was using the Chai AI app), but then a year or so later you seemed to be upset about this one AI company using your art to promote their app. So, I was wondering, what is your stance on AI and AI chatbots? You don't have to answer this, and I believe anyone can change their stance on anything given more information. However, I just wanted to know if that's something you support or are comfortable with, in case someone in the fandom tries or wants to create an AI chatbot of Ren.

Ren honestly wouldn't care if Angel decided to get plastic surgery; his interest stems from the bond they shared growing up, as well as Angel's mannerisms, personality, and the way they treat him. Looks don't matter at all to him, especially since he was picked on as a child for his appearance and the fact that he was forced to present himself in ways that appeased others instead of himself. Also... It'd almost be a bit hypocritical since Ren changes nearly every aspect of his appearance to suit Angel's interests. It's kinda like a "Would you still love [REDACTED] if he looked like Ren?" scenario /pos
As for Ren's sexual experience, everything you've mentioned is tied to the 2017 version of Ren, which is completely different from the 2022 version — and isn't canon whatsoever. 2017 Ren was essentially a variant of Teo; he slept with anyone he had an inkling of interest in, did whatever he wanted with no regard for other people's feelings, and lied to Angel (and Elanor) about his sexual experience to fit the soft, innocent "Ren" persona he curated for them. 2022 Ren is completely different, and considering how he spent his entire life obsessing over Angel, it didn't make sense for him to pursue others (sexually, romantically, or otherwise).
Regarding AI: as of now, my stance is that I do not and will never support generative AI. When I first made that Ren chatbot (which I deleted back in 2023), generative AI was still a relatively new concept, and I was very ignorant of how it all worked. Back then, I didn't know it relied on stolen content created by real people, and I never really gave it much thought other than "Chai AI must have its own database that the AI pulls information from". But now I know better, and I do not support it, nor do I condone anyone who uses my art, writing, or anything else for generative AI purposes.
