    They are saying that it would be better for a robot lacking the accompanying biological sex characteristics to be called a "she" based on the way the robot presents alone. And they don't even get the irony.

    Someone didn't read the thread. Screaming nonsense about this being "grooming" is throwing a fit, not "discussing something"

    I simply asked how character representation in books or movies is grooming.

    No — I do not believe this is grooming but maybe one of the people that do can change my opinion based on something other than “they are icky”

    I'm sorry but was she not removed from the bottle of syrup because you progressives declared it racist somehow?

    LOL. Let me know when you find that. It seems to be in short supply in the world.

    Its also what Christians do, and the social conservative moment and white nationalists and virtually every single parent in America, regardless of ideology or political affiliation does. We all 'indocrinate' our kids, only you guys call it 'teaching moral values'.

    It's a kid show perpetuating the reality of those who have a mental disorder. They may as well be trying to normalize multiple personality disorders.

    Nope — that was a company decree, there are surly some that were offended by it but there was no boycott or massive calls to change it

    Far as I know the company just decided on their own it.
    So no threads, seems like we know who whines and who doesn’t.

    I like how cartoons are promoting accepting people who are different. What I find annoying on new shows, actually, is how they feel pressured to represent minorities into roles they don't fit in based upon the traditional story. If you really need a gay or black lead actor so badly, write your own damn story. Oh my bad, writer strike.

    And we shouldn’t normalize that people have mental disorders? Should they be shunned or just ignored?

    If this were accurate, then they did a crap job on me :) The way I see it, the marshmallow heads are gonna be manipulated regardless, they were born of a time of ignorance and very little esteem. They will do anything to find and secure friendship/niche, and if that takes the extreme, they'll do it!

    The further we travel the digital age the more timid and uncomfortable the younger will become.. You give it some thought, where were you when growing up thru grade school. Were there different factions, were you a child of wealth/poor, farm, blue collar or migrant. Were you a drinker, doper/partier, cig smoker, religious, egghead or class clown.. Sad to say, but there will always be that small percentage of misfits that will be left to do the unthinkable to gain some kind of social interaction.

    Today, places like PF fill the gap along with smartphones. Some immerse themselves in fantasy vid games where they can act out there little lonely lives..

    Technology, she be a bitch :) I can't remember where I read, but a study was conducted on AI and 36% of the people polled said they were comfortable tell the AI that they loved it..

    Ya that's how screwed this country is getting :)

    I love you long time chatbot!

    I didn't say whether it was or wasn't, but I didn't have any kind of exposure to that story before the movie, so that helps.

    Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'

    upload_2023-5-12_17-34-5.png

    Looks like Her name and her image were removed from the packaging due to "racial stereo type". Think I got the "history" just about right fella.

    And I just LOVE showing the hypocrisy from the left.
