Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Why does that humanoid robot have apparently metal breasts and a conventionally "pretty" face? Am I supposed to want to fuck it?
The art is the way that it is because the artist made it that way. The image is not particularly sexual, and robot art can be woman-coded. If you want to project some misogynist angle onto some stock art that has no bearing on the article, that's fine, I guess.
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?
we sincerely hope not
