Do humans (or other robots for that matter) who might interact with the robot have a right to know what kind of sentient life they’re interacting with if that might have real ramifications?

I like your point, and we should also consider the obverse:

And you can always get a new puppy once you beat the first one to death.

Someone is going to make an AI. It might only exist in computer form. It might be in a bulky machine robot. It might look like a human.

Yes. If they can laugh at the uncut version they are truly sentient and not PC robots.

That’s the point if you can laugh it in spite of it being uncomfortable is the test

When they can laugh at Blazing Saddles. The true test of humanity

It doesn’t matter, it’s about how people see mixed race people. It has nothing to do with genetics, everything to do with appearance. You can look at A Mariah Carey, Derek Jeter, Rashida Jones, Keanu Reeves... vs how people like Obama, Jessie Williams and both Key and Peele. The idea that someone who is 30% one race,…

Slight difference bewteen calling someone derogatory names for their destructive behavior and physically accosting them, but ok.

Medical conditions only make it more difficult to lose weight, not impossible. You can’t gain what you don’t put in. Physics! So yes, even people with certain genetic defects and diseases are fat through choice, even though their path is admittedly much harder than most.

I don’t support the OP’s views per se, but the “not everyone’s fat because they’re lazy and eat like shit” line is a bit overplayed. It can’t be more than 1% of fat people who are fat because of some real medical issue. The vast majority of us could do something about it if we wanted to badly enough.

Is he wrong? And do women find fat men attractive (as a whole)? I don’t think this is a double standard. Fat shaming knows no gender / sex.

Oh, ok. I thought you were doing the whole “It’s not about equality because men are pigs who deserve it!” thing.

I don’t care about you making fun of him. He’s an idiot. I care about your absurd claim, with no evidence, that women wanting tall guys is evolutionary, while guys wanting skinny women is only societal. You make a claim like that, you gotta back it up with evidence.

He is not wrong though, there is a standard of beauty for women and men. Never notice how Disney makes all the male comic reliefs short and/or fat too?

It’s about shaming and self-image, which applies to everyone, not just women. It seems a bit hypocritical to attack the movie for portraying an overweight woman as ugly-which, don’t get me wrong, is terrible- while excusing it for doing the same thing to short men. (the marketing shown in this article is definitely…

The OP is about shaming of men for shortness, to which you responded that shaming women for weight is different from shortness, because preference against shortness is evolutionary.

Oh geez. He is just pointing out the irony. That does NOT make him an MRA apologist. Beth’s reply didn’t seem to judge the question.

Good old tribal warfare. It is so funny the sites famous for their progressive open minds hunt and slay those that are different or raise their voices because they have a hidden hurt. Is there not a person we will shame for feeling alone and disenfranchised so WE can feel better? Damn hypocrites. It doesn’t matter,…

I’m getting real tired of fat people treating obesity like a protected class. ‘Body shaming’ is for things you can’t control, like height or facial structure. Being fat is a choice. Fat people should be shamed like smokers. - Sincerely, a fat guy that’s doing something about it instead of complaining when people call…
