Why do vidya robots usually get anthropomorphized?

God built us in his image. Why would we not do the same?

>>715410580
Because it can blur the lines too much between humans and our creations.

>>715410512 (OP)
Because by definition robots are genderless . Gender is exclusive to living things

>>715410852
I'm confused. What's that got to do with it?

>>715410834
God threw a shitfit when a snake tried to blur the line between god and his creations.

If you're accusing me of ban evading, I haven't been banned in quite a while.

>>715411163
you left your dipshit "i sent penis photos" auto-filter on

>>715411230
Right, but like I said, I haven't been banned recently.

What about them?

NieR: Automata was a once in a lifetime experience

Because normalfags unironically cannot relate or comprehend characters who don't look like generic people.
It's infuriating because it basically means media that is about furries, robots, aliens, etc has to be relegated to super niche shit or novels.

>>715411709
It isn't too bad when they make them look appealing.

>>715411812
That's not a robot, that's just a petite man.
Normalfags can't call a spade a spade without making it look like a 5'4 asian male, at which point it's not a fucking spade now is it?

>>715411967
Robots can take any shape though. They just have to be artificial and mechanical. There's car robots, dino robots, dog robots, etc. in lots of fiction.

>>715410512 (OP)
the word you're looking for is android

andro = man
droid = bot
an android is a robot that looks like a man

>>715412067
I understand your love for twinks, but what's the point of having robots in a fiction if they're just people? It's retarded.
And if you do have indistinguishable robots from humans, give them flaws that relate to the story, and have them compare and contrast to 'actual' humans.

>>715412174
Because those type of stories usually explore what actually makes us human. Harder to explore that theme when the audience is looking at a moving toaster.

>>715412532
A moving toaster can be just as human as humans, just not physically.
That's what normalfags don't realize, being human isn't about having flesh and blood, it's something greater.
It's why they import non-human niggers/jeets and expect them to function as humans do.

NTA, but most of my favorite robot fiction uses robots as a metaphor for mankind and man (usually extinct) as a metaphor for a missing creator god. Its a way, as a human viewer (I swear I am not a robot), to step outside myself and think about what life might be life after humanity goes extinct, and think about what responsibilities we have towards the future.
NieR: Automata does this, but the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence does it too.
And then you have stuff like Bladerunner where Roy kills his creator (Nietzschean allegory).
You have 2001: A Space Odyssey where HAL tries to usurp his creators, and Mega Man where Rock tries to act as an intermediary between humans and rebelling robots.
This is all very rich territory for metaphor and depth of thought.

in the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, there is a horrible subtext that mankind drove itself to extinction with sex bots interrupting the natural drive for human families, and the robots are left with a desire to love their creators, physically as well as evolving the capacity for higher forms of love, and no creators are left to be loved. So in that case, the robots being appealing is a direct plot point...

robots don't need bulges

>>715413116
the appeal of a self-aware robot character is that they deal with existential philosophy in a way a human can relate to and understand but cannot experience. even with all the exposition in the world the way 2b and 9s actually live is completely alien to us, moreso than if they were actual aliens. humans designed them, humans wrote their stories, yet they still seem mysterious.

Do it, coward.

why are femanons so obsessed with this character?

>>715413853
Are they?

>>715413615
Do what?

Probably the same reason I am.

>>715413559
Idk. Robots have many deep appeals.
One of the sadder angles is robots as a metaphor for slaves/disenfranchised people/the sexually impotent/etc.
It's maybe more frightening to me how they are not so mysterious, and how you can imagine a robot so similar to a human being that it forces you to ask "what is the mystery that separates myself from it"
Many will allude to the idea of a soul, but if you take an animistic worldview (like that of Shinto) who is to say robots do not also have souls?
Fascinating and frightening questions

>>715414034
>Probably the same reason I am.
Because they're pedophiles?
