Only a total fool (or brainwashed trolls) really believes that the "cannon" way of troll reproduction is real. It's clearly wasn't like that in the beginning, simply some previous Ruler established an artificial reproduction system as the means to control the population and trolls' understanding of the world. C'mon, "imperial drones", "have a lusus because your predecessors are fighting space wars", "pails for your dna material" - it's all artificial additions, none of those things could have existed in the faraway past. Why would trolls even have genders if they reproduce asexually? And since EVERY being that has gender reproduce by "growing" offspring (or egss) inside the female's body, it is indeed logical that trolls do the same.
Not sure who'd be the daddy in this case though...
Anonymous9: @datnonymous:
1. It's stated in the comic that both male and female trolls have the same sexual organs: a "bone bulge" and a "nook"; it's presumed that the act of producing "genetic material" isn't all that different from humans, but these organs are not directly reproductive.
2. Reproductive mutualism is not a new thing--most plants depend on insects and animals to propagate; trolls and mother grubs merely take the concept a step further.
3. There is no proof that the rules regarding gender observed on Earth are universal; just because it works that way here, does not mean it works that way everywhere.
4. If you believe the theory that life was seeded on Earth by a comet then it stands to reason that the comet seeded other worlds as well, so life in the this galaxy WOULD be similar; however, life in other galaxies would have nothing in common with life in this one. Given that trolls are from an entirely different UNIVERSE, life on Alternia being so similar to life here, rather than so different, is far-fetched.
Anonymous10(9): Amendment to number 3: Organisms that reproduce sexually have gender, but not all organisms with gender reproduce sexually. There some species of all-female lizards that have evolved to reproduce asexually; they only copulate with males of other species, or other females, to stimulate egg production.

1. It isn't. You are making shit up, anon.
2. You. are. retarded. You just called buckets a natural thing. Then you ignored that such "mutualism" is accomplished through evolution/artificially, not established as a natural way from the beginning, which is exactly what I'm talking about. Also, insects/animals do not participate in the actual propagation - they act just as couriers, just how bad you are at biology? Reproductive mutualism does not exist in the form of producing offspring to another species within this planet.
3-4. You. are. retarded. Once again. Holy shit, how is it even possible to use such retarded "arguments"? The very point of genders existing is to reproduce sexually. If you aren't reproducing sexually then "gender" is as good as having none. Those fucking lizards reproduce this way because the males died off so now they are just laying unfertilized eggs containing clones of themselves. Earth was created by trolls. We took upon trolls' traits. It was fucking hinted at the comic. But you fail to see the point - we aren't arguing about similarities/differences - we are arguing about how only a total fool would think such a "way of reproduction" can be natural and not artificially established. There are many possible ways living things could reproduce out there, but not like this - it has too many unnatural elements attached for lifeforms that are too similar to us.
Welp, boner gone, but I am definitely okay with it.
This is beautiful.
