Hey
Hi
Sorry if I’m being a pest
I had some more thoughts
guess I can just tell you
If I figured out who you are other people must have too
Are you okay? Are you safe? If I’m causing problems for you please let me know and I’ll disappear
Nobody asked you to disappear and nobody will
I’m grateful for your consideration but I can take care of myself
I saw Link and your sister fight together I absolutely believe that
If there were other thoughts, I’m home now and would like to hear them
So you know Terminator and said you’d seen your share of robot movies
I was dumb but I heard you
And I wanna make the effort to learn so I thought, you and your sister must have watched a lot of robot movies the way Marion likes buddy cop comedies because it’s about a thing that’s close to you and interests you
So I looked up a bunch of plots of those movies and it’s not very great if you’re the robot
So that was my thought
And I wondered if that was your experience
That’s mostly accurate
Thank you for that by the way

Robots in fiction are tools or weapons or threats for the most part
When a robot is masculine or gender neutral it’s a mirror of humanity
When it’s feminine it’s a love interest
I’ve never met a Black or a gay robot but I imagine their lives would be very different from mine
But a robot by default is often something to which we ascribe human capabilities but not human rights, and whether human motives come with it or not determine whether the robot is protagonist or antagonist
But a robot to you is never just a robot
That’s right
Hydrogen and oxygen are gases, but H2O is a liquid
Mixing ingredients together creates a fusion that can have entirely new properties
Where I’m going with this is that I agree that some robots might be people who aren’t recognized as such yet, and maybe one way is to look for their non-robot qualities to see if that gives rise to a positive experience for the people you want to influence
That is amazing
That is the sort of thing I have been looking for
You are the new Menagerie superhero aren’t you
If you don’t want to say it’s okay
Even if I’m wrong
But if you meant all that, would you want the public to associate robots with heroes?
Your sister and Link do
You’re right on all counts
Well most counts, there’s stuff I don’t wanna give away about them
Totally okay I’m sorry, please tell me to shut up if I ever cross a line
I will. But if I don’t say anything, don’t assume you’ve crossed one either. I want your honest thoughts and opinions about this subject, okay?
I promise
