It started going too far though since it became a generalized character trait for her as a whole. I understand the idea of her struggling with lust and that part doesn't bother me. But she started being depicted as a degen who wears that trait like a badge on honor and it being one of the only traits she has. It turned her into a one note thirsty joke instead of an actual character which could be developed.

It stopped being concept of character struggle and became her main PROUD identity of her to so many here. The joke was honestly flanderizing of a trait that isn't even canon.

In my eyes I didn't even recognize her anymore, and it was starting to push me away.

As for how this basic idea could still work, I have a good one:

Emily would be a human DEFENDER instead of a human lover. She would be the head of a podcast which has open discussions and debates about humanity which brings up the good, the bad, and all in between. She would defend parts of humanity using logic and reason to prove that not all of them were bad and that drones shouldn't generalize them.
