Talk:Vault 69/Nexus-DicPoly
Since he just reduced the age of consent to 10, he could very easily (for the sake of slow-rolling the cultural adjustment) just say that he's not going to have sex with any married women (for now) and provide his sperm to unmarried girls who are probably going to be between 10 and 16.

Yeah, but he is also Annulling all marriages, unless your talking about future marriages. --Telgar (talk) 11:57, 26 March 2020 (CET)
If you take a look at the characters, there is at least one couple that is going to have a big problem with that . . . Rosita and Hellen Vega. With that as a precident, I'm sure there are a few other lesbian marriages. --Elerneron (talk) 13:08, 26 March 2020 (CET)
I'm talking at the start. It was mentioned in the context of the story, cultural adjustment is something to be concerned about. One thing is going to be that the previously married women are not going to be so comfortable about the whole thing, so they will need some time to adjust and starting with the younger girls closer to having just passed the new age of consent will be a good way to provide that adjustment time.

Points taken, all marriages to people who are not in Vault 69 will be annulled. Not just so he can have access to them but to release everyone from any ties that are not part of the current Vault life.
He is probably not thinking about the already married lesbian couples at this time, but when reminded of them he will make the acception.
Biggest hurdle however will be his mom, who would now be his wife, I was thinking of having him use her dedication to democracy against her. Have the woman for the idea of the department heads being his first wives, stand. Obviously the physician and psychiatrist would start, was thinking of having the Herdsmistress stand as well, which causes the others to reluctantly stand. Leaving his mother the only person sitting. Then him saying something about how it was a democratically chosen option. At which point she frowns and then slowly stands. --Telgar (talk) 16:28, 26 March 2020 (CET)
A good route to take with Haley (his mom) is to play off of the fact that she has always told Tay not to have a child out of wedlock. She will basically have to choose between being for polygamy and Tay creating a bunch of bastards. At least that is the path I'm taking on the polygamy thing once I get to the path I'm going to write for. As far as incest . . . that is a much harder sell. This is especially true since the only thing making it to where there isn't as much of a problem is the work of Doctor Romero, whom Haley genuinely abhors. That should be the hardest sell for Haley . . . especially when it comes to Tay's sisters. I don't think a bit of peer pressure would be enough to suddenly marry her son . . . especially the day after they lost contact with her husband forever. Tay is going to need to put more work in for that one. Just my 2₵ on the subject. --Elerneron (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2020 (CET)
