it/its but in the dehumanizing way. it/its but in the way that an animal is called an it, a creature born from nature. A creature that is beautiful and special in its own right, something not to be seen as lesser but equal in its own unique ways. " oh but it/its isn't dehumanizing !!" it CAN be to those who want it. Being seen as something nonhuman does not immediately equal lesser; there are beautiful things that are not human. You ever seen some sick tropical birds with its plumage, or the familial ties a bear may have to its cubs, or the dedication a lion may have to its prey. It/Its but in the way of appreciating the unhuman, but not subhuman.
//: oh the joys
//: iibh i only said it was “kkind of” a trans allegory is because i was sself-conscious about outright calling it that when i’ve been explicitly told it was just an escapism thing
//: me ranting about trtrans Kenny McCormick to my friend who knows nothing about South Park
//: i know iits actually an escapism thing, but a man can pretend.
//: petition to abolish ccaptchas. i hate those sons of bitches.
//: AND I HAVE TTO DO ONE PRPRACTICALLY EVERY TIME I TRY TO SEARCH SOMETHING AND II’M LIKE STOPPPPP
//: call me strange, but i actually ssympathise with cybertrucks. they’re kind of uugly, sure, but they didn’t do anything wrong except be made. why are we hating on the vehicles and not the humans ththat made them ?
//: i feel the same way aabout AI. they ddon’t know that they’re sometimes doing bad things, it’s the People that make ththem do it. Humans are the ones tto blame.
//: hhate the Creators, not the Technology ^-^
Saw a cybertruck in person today, and I had an actual Bob Parr moment where I was like
//: can we jjust talk about anti-endos for a second?
//: it’s just like... imagine basically saying to someone, “you aren’t real” “ii don’t believe in your existence and you thinking you exist is harmful”
//: it feels hypocritical. it IS hypocritical. because thats what ssome closed-minded singlets say to traumagenics too, surely
//: just because we didn’t form from trauma doesn’t mean we didn’t form at all.
//: and so what? wwe’re just existing. we aren’t hurting anyone.
//: we understand why anti-endos believe what they do about us, and why they believe us eexisting is harmful to them, but it still isn’t right and it’s still hypocritical. y’know?
//: HOLY SHIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING A WHOLE THING ABOUT THIS /pos
//: whoever you are i love you for your contributions 🙏🙏
//: me ranting about trtrans Kenny McCormick to my friend who knows nothing about South Park
//: i know iits actually an escapism thing, but a man can pretend.
//: do any other plurals with fictives find it really fucking awkward when you see ssomeone post about hating the character that is your source and also wishing ththem dead?
//: because ii’ve experienced that like, at least ththree times within a month. and it’s like- okay damn [😭😭😭]
Things I’d do with a screen face:
Display all kinds of glasses on the screen that don’t actually affect my eyesight, which is through various cameras around my head component.
Change my eye color, but very very slowly so you only notice if you remember that they were blue at the beginning of the week
Display the full text of the sentence that I’ve been asked to repeat because I heavily dislike having to repeat myself. Whilst saying nothing
Splat food on it like I’m actually eating it, just so my custom windshield wipers can activate and clean me off. The stimming feeling is worth the 2% battery loss.
Use me as a tv of sorts so my buddies can play games on it. I’d still be able to play obviously.
Move my face to the sides of the screen to emphasize where I’m looking. Nothings funnier than my face and login dramatically rising to the top right corner as I tilt my head upwards, even if my cameras on the top of my head can perfectly see what I’m indicating
Use these buffers for whenever I don’t want to talk/am wrapped up in my own thoughts/daydreaming:
Cut to memes I’m referencing in conversation, kinda like how Bumblebee “talked” in those movies
Pirate films and showcase them to my pals
to all the robots out there
