@LexYeen But, at that point, they aren't really the Borg, are they? the whole point is the "erasure of individuality, being droned, and turned into a terminal of a centralized hive mind" which, don't get me wrong, 🥃 🥃 🥃 , but making it pretty and voluntary violates the Borg's hat.
@LexYeen which makes sense. Especially if they tried the non-violent approach already and got smacked down for being evangelical techlust zombies. So they got radicalized in self-defense and it just went too far. Cause you know, that's not something that /ever/ happens.
