    Oh, where to start.

    Sexy woman coded, perhaps, unless you’re saying that women who don’t have prominent breasts and what appears to be makeup aren’t real women

    But this is a drawing of a machine. Machines don’t have gender, biological or social or otherwise. Whoever created this image thought, consciously or not, “I’m going to make a picture of a robot, and I’m gonna make it a sexy woman robot.” Not just a “woman-coded” humanoid robot - because that can be done without playing heavy on the sexiness, right?

    So why? Why make a sexy woman robot? I ask again: Am I supposed to want to fuck it?

      Why are you conflating “real”ness with sexiness?

      But this is a drawing of a machine. Machines don’t have gender, biological or social or otherwise.

      This is actually incorrect. Gender is a social construct. Anything can have gender if (a) society agrees upon it.

      Whoever created this image thought, consciously or not, “I’m going to make a picture of a robot, and I’m gonna make it a sexy woman robot.” Not just a “woman-coded” humanoid robot […]

      You have not proved this. Also, which is it? Machines don’t have gender, or this machine is a sexy woman robot? Your analysis and discourse are inconsistent and lacking.

      because that can be done without playing heavy on the sexiness, right?

      Again, the image is not particularly sexy. Just having large breast-analogs in the picture doesn’t make it sexy, unless you’re a stereotypical teenage boy.

      So why? Why make a sexy woman robot? I ask again: Am I supposed to want to fuck it?

      You have not earned the right to ask these questions.

        here’s another version of the same sketch

        a machine is constructed in the form of a pretty lady to present you with a magical answer and the answer is a lie too

        and the hand is empty and the style is retro pop art of a comforting past that never existed

        now what could the symbolism here mean, why all these choices

        hope our poster never goes to an art gallery, could be fatal
