Being a giant alive robot in

The transformers world vs J decker world

LISTEN

No serious spoilers btw haha

J decker is so fun an silly BUT SOMETHING about their world building makes me feel things.

You see, if you are a Cybertronian you are alive. It's unquestioned. You have a free will. You have a soul. And the most important part - you and everyone are know about that. Most of the time at least.

But in the world of J decker?

These robots aren't aliens. They were created by humans. And - importantly - for humans. The have no more rights than fucking chat GPT.....

The show is like haha look funny robits silly humans and you have so much fun looking at them, yeah.

But then one of those robots making a mistake in front of a wrong human? Or slightly questionable behavior? Or expressing any basic sense of self preservation??? Like the DESIRE NOT TO DIE??

And humans are instantly like...

HOW DARE YOU TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAN A USEFUL TOOL??

You see. In the transformers shows - robots are basically friends with humans. Or enemies. They are equals.

In the Brave police j decker - they are ..like....slaves???

Sure, main characters lucky enough to have a human friends who cares about them. And those human friends treating them pretty well. Yes. But golden cage is still a fucking cage. They live to serve. And the moment they don't serve - they die.

Humans can torture them, brake them, erase or rewrite their whole memory. Humans can literally order them to go and die. Humans can do anything they want without any punishment because ~oh well~ these bots aren't people. They're shiny pretty tools. Police property.

My interest in this show is so ahhhhhhhhh

There's a character whose whole personality memory and identity people were going to completely erase. Simply because he had outlived his usefulness. He hadn't even done anything wrong.

There's also a character who isn't allowed to experience or show any negative emotions because his human master wants a perfect noble shiny hero without tiniest bit of evil thoughts. He absolutely can feel bad emotions. He's just not allowed to. Because they fucking...ordered him??

I don't know how this show ends yet. But I'm so fucking invested it's gggghhhhhhh,,,,,,,,
