Those scientists aren't mad, just dedicated.
Show me a field scientist that is injecting trees with a serum to turn them into sentient carnivores. Or one that is manually digging for uranium in order to fast track the eruption of a volcano. Or the one inventing Godzilla.
Not that pansy shit.
Sometimes it needs time to spin up.
Especially if the character comes from an unconventional source where there aren't many hentai artists.
I only heard of the existence of the character a couple of days ago.
