as a private citizen who manages records professionally that would be a nightmare to handle administratively

Yeah, I mean I'm sure it would Which is why I suspect they'd just abolish the drinking age, on the grounds that "you were dead and are now alive, must be tough, you can have booze"

(that said, if you wanted to record who was blipped wouldn't you be able to require all citizens who hadn't updated their license to at least self certify whether they had been issued a death certificate in the past three years?)

Honestly it was already kind of bullshit the Snap didn't just straight up collapse their whole civilization in the first place

I mean I dunno. I'm not saying COVID is like the Snap, but it's definitely a status quo devastating event, and we're living through it and haven't totally collapsed yet. If anything I'm starting to feel like the status quo on *certain* things is more resilient than I thought

Yeah okay but the numbers are important here Our worst case scenario with COVID-19 is 1-2% of the whole population dying unexpectedly (and the worse than worst case is a collapsing medical system pushing the extra deaths up to 5% or more) This is 50%

I feel like society wouldn't survive a gender-ignorant 50% Snap any better than it survived the mostly-male 50% Thing in Y the Last Man. Things don't instantly scale down 50%; they fall apart because key people are gone.

I always appreciated that the comic repeatedly pointed out that the death of 50% of all HUMAN BEINGS was a moral monstrosity and civilizational disaster that outweighed any stupid hot take you could have about the meaning of it being the death of all men specifically

But that just kind of unfortunately highlights the awkwardness of doing this idea at all

At least in Y the loss of half of the population was the impetus of the plot, rather than something that happened that *transparently* was going to be undone.
