Oh, conservatives are just gonna boil at this, I can't wait.
Science nerds "If I can't get laid NO ONE CAN GET LAID!"
Yayyy I can finally take over the world using my very own clone army uwu
As God intended.
The final step for the patriarchy to get rid of women's primordial powers. But they will fail
