I don't even know why I'm here, since not only do genetics in VV not interest me, but I wasn't even interested in the original thread. My villager heads are edited. They're completely mixed up as a result, with several duplicates of my faves. No point trying to breed for anything in that mess.

I just find irrational arguments fascinating, and this thread was full of them.

The odd thing about Swedane is that he has replied with denial to anyone who has attempted to pinpoint what exactly he means. So we know something about genetics is apparently very, very bad, but not why he thinks so. That is what makes it so fascinating to argue about. Like you said, Lurkily, not being able to understand what in the world he means is why this thing keeps going on and on.

I mean, I asked what was so bad about breeding for looks, and he said, basically, "nothing is bad about it, but you'd be doing it at your own expense." LOL!!!

You know, at first I thought this might be a race thing, since "blonde" got thrown around so much. But I don't think that's it. Then I thought it might be an inbreeding thing, except in reverse (as in, don't make me stop inbreeding if I want to). Basically, I have no idea, even after listening to all this ranting.
