almost every robot is trans because most of them aren’t built with genders but identify as one anyway

Listen i know tumblr has a very pro-robot attitude but nothing on this earth is scarier than a printer churning out something when it absolutely Should Not Be

concept: robots getting engraved “tattoos” on their metal plating. robots having lights and jewels implanted as “piercings”. robots expressing themselves as individuals and not just a product of their designers.

did you guys know that the robot genre of science fiction sprung up as a critique of the way in which industrialization reduced workers to taking up monotonous, unskilled factory jobs in order to earn profit, jobs which in turn alienated them from their own humanity? did you know that the theory of the alienation of the self under capitalistic mode of production is a core principle of marxism? did you know that robot itself comes from a czech playwright who, for a science fiction play, coined the word as a derivative of the czech term robota, meaning forced labor? did you know that the robot genre is rooted in anti-capitalist sentiment?
