why do robots need genders in the first place 🤔
BBC is a fucking joke.
Transformers has had variable gender characters going back to the 80s/90s.
Nobody complained about fucking "woke" back then.
So sick of this garbage society.
The first one I checked seemed to be a character with no confirmed gender. That seems a bit misleading.
Which character from the 80s is actually non-binary?
Overlord.
I really want this to be true, but I'm not seeing it. The page has a note near the top:
Exactly who—and even what—Overlord is varies greatly from continuity to continuity, to the point that it could conceivably be argued whether or not the different incarnations represent different characters. See individual sections below for details.
The text "male" only appears in the word "malevolent". The text "binary" only appears in the link to the parent category "Non-binary" characters, so it doesn't seem like this is actually a non-binary (or similar) character.
All of them, according to Furman.
I mean, objects don't need to have genders! Lol
I fucking hate living on TERF Island, or as I call it; The Accursed Archipelago.
2024? Wtf. Also, non-binary is so mild on the queer-ness scale, it's just refusing the concept gender binary altogether. (am non-binary)
They cut drag race, a gay dating show, and spent the time/money to censor a shirt that said "protect the dolls" on a dancing show. All within the last couple of months. Definitely starting to see a pattern with them.
The Brexiteer Tory Remnant government filled the top ranks with loyalists a few years back. They didn’t like it being non-partison, so they said it was biased so they could make political appointments.
The authoritarianism pattern is sweeping the world right now.
Can't let the kids find out that being nonbinary is an option!
Especially for a bunch of transforming robo trucks!
