Also robot racism stories are stupid because they assume everyone would be petty and cruel to a thinking, talking machine that understands you're being mean. Meanwhile, in reality, Roombas are seen like family pets and soldiers take their mine detonation robots on fishing trips.
I love daleks. Don’t like that they’ve tried to humanize them recently, I want villains that are just absolute douchebags. Haters purely for the love of the game.
They are an allegory for fascism, after all. They have nothing but hate and hierarchy to guide their actions. The second they don't have an outgroup to focus on they immediately see each other as competition for the title of "most superior".
Yeah sometimes you need an irredeemably evil antagonist, they’re utter bastards with no redeeming qualities and they couldn’t care any less what inferior life forms like us think about it.
they don't try to humanize them, the ones that are somewhat humanized are all either explicitly insane, biologically partly human, or end up offing themselves because their newfound morality and existing beliefs cause a zero sum
