[IC] WUkds Thorn--Against Violence

Keycap Information:


Manufacturer: WUkds 
                 
Profile: Cherry
   
Material: PBT

Novelties: DYE-SUB

Number of Keys: 173 Keys

Keycap thickness: 1.7mm


The material used this time is a brand-new keycap material. The standard keycap wall thickness is 1.7MM, and most of the keycap wall thickness is more than 1.7MM. The thick-walled keycap has a stronger impact and a better sound






The keycap this time is a theme keycap against violence, using thorns as a metaphor, thorns are like violence, if you don’t stop it, it will thrive, and eventually the sharp thorns of thorns will stab you;
The theme I want to express is "oppose violence, cherish life"
Campus bullying, domestic violence, voyeurism and sneak shooting, hallucinations caused by poison, patriarchal behaviors, etc. grow like thorns, all of which are hurting this society; the current society is full of evil thoughts, just like the one I have seen The seven deadly sins mentioned in the movie: arrogance, greed, lust, jealousy, gluttony, anger, and laziness; today's seven deadly sins also have many explanations at different levels, but the same thing is to expose people's crimes committed by evil thoughts. offense.

I just appeal to everyone on this theme: Don't stand by and dare to lend a helping hand.

Fitting capitalised "gluttony" in a 1.25u is truly a voraciously ambitious idea paralleled only by the r1 quartet of no test tubes, no pills, no something i cant comprehend and no many eyes.

I feel like this question has to be asked on every WUkds IC post:

Is this actually an IC? The set appears to be live on your site right now: https://wukds.shop/products/wukds-thorns-keycap

To the best of my knowledge, the IC forum is not meant to just be a place to advertise sets - it is a place to gauge interest, gather feedback, change things as needed.

An abstract style, the implication is against this behavior of surrogacy

Right ... but it's not abstract?

It's a uterus, ovaries and a vagina with a big red cross through them.

I don't understand the thought process about putting Abuse and Domestic Violence novelties on a goddamn keyset like that is an insane thing to do, on top of nails and a purge mask? like what is this.

I think there are more important things to talk about with this set, but that kitting hurts man.

I have so many questions but the only one I think I want an answer to is how does the artisan keycap work? Is it two separate caps glued together?

I'm curious, what is so wrong with surrogacy?

Altruistic surrogacy is mostly fine, however in the past 10-20 years there's been a huge rise in commercial surrogacy. This frequently occurs across borders in situations where rich parents come to a poor country, hire a local woman as a surrogate, and then take the baby back to their country. Even leaving aside the exploitative nature of things like this, there are huge legal and ethical issues that come up when things don't go as planned. Eg, in 2013 an Australian couple hired a Thai woman to act as a surrogate. She was carrying twins and one of the twins had Down Syndrome. The couple took the twin without Down Syndrome back to Australia, and left the other twin with his mother in Thailand, who was left without support / funds to care for him.

Then you have to think about issues with consent, forced surrogacy programs, etc. It's a pretty shady industry and one that a number of countries have banned outright in recent years.

The idea is fine, the symbolism is definitely off the mark though.

Thank you for your comments. What I want to express is the harm caused by surrogacy to pregnant women. A surrogate pregnant woman is like a machine, which is very inhumane
Also my design is flawed, I will modify it and design a better keycap

Yes, it is made of two separate aluminum keycaps, so that it can show two colors

As Mecxs pointed out, there certainly is a brand of surrogacy that is predatory and harmful but I don’t think surrogacy itself is inherently bad.
Do you think sperm donation is harmful, too?
