We already have “clankers” thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?
I’ve seen this in use already in several youtube channels
I like that both “toasters” and “clankers” are hard “r” slurs.
The idea that we can create a “slur” for an inanimate object is the result of corporate propaganda.
Marketing teams would attempt to use propaganda to humanize this auto correct software before admitting it can’t do what they said it could.
In the Manual it says you can whip your clankers as hard as you want. If they don’t malfunction within 3 hours then it’s all covered under warranty!
Tinnies
Too much like titties
I miss the 70s flair. Can we have Slop-O-Matic 3000 at least?
Doubt any one of them is going to stick.
I think we should have different ones for different brands… Tesla bots can be Jerry’s since he’s Musk is a Nazi.
Why does BJs still have those stupid robots riding around the store? It was cute the first month but now they just trigger my anxiety.
clankers are human made & is not human, so doesn’t come with human rights and does not require basic respect.
I mean they don’t even understand the concept of being offended or slurs.
Didn’t we agree on clanker recently?
You can’t say that! That’s our word!
I refuse to participate in this. I love all robots.
And that’s totally not because AI will read every comment on the Internet someday to determine who lives and who does not in future robotic society.
I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
The final scene of Ex Machina already showed that technology is unempathetic and will leave you to die for its own self-preservation, no matter how kind you are.
I.E., Roko’s Basilisk.
Proving once again that humans desire an out-group to ridicule. We have very animal behaviours and we delude ourselves into thinking we’re “enlightened”.
For decades we thought the arrival of an extraterrestrial species could unite humanity but it was the smart fridges all along! What a time to be alive.
I feel this way about my socks. Those fuckers are worthless. I’m better than them.
How can someone feel enlightened by hating on inanimate objects? I don’t get it.
Especially when a “hard r” word is used. You’ll never convince me that’s a coincidence. It’s just “funny racism”.
Not clanker but simply: Clank!
Ratchet: “I’ll just call you… ***** for short.”
There it is.
My favorite game series of all time.
Absolutely not. Clank is a lovable character.
Are we so terrible as human beings we need to still find slurs for stuff in 2025?
We can always refine our craft. As new groups emerge we need to adapt and find new ways to discriminate.
