F**king clankers

Holy shit, are people really trying to frame Clanker as a "racial slur"?

It's offensive to wire born people.

Maybe it's because I just woke up but; The Wire Born People sounds like a kick ass punk band.

This meme is dead. I hate AI as much as the next girlypop but this shit isn't it because racists have been using it as a shield.

How is calling an AI a clanker racist? AI aren't people, they aren't a race.

Rosa sparks George droid

Once those showed up racists ruined it for everyone else as usual

That meme has been around way longer than the clanker one.

The template has but not the subject

This usage here isn't part of the problem, but people on other platforms are making nastier memes that are in very poor taste. It's sort of spoiling the fun. And I think, possibly, because people here may not have seen more of the other stuff they might not feel as strongly.
