    Whoa, careful with that trans propaganda you got there. It’d be a damn shame if we started treating human beings how they’d like to be treated, at minimal or negative cost to ourselves.

      Um, I’m not sure where I went wrong there. My intention, beyond pointing out the wayward capitalist venture, was just to reminisce on that harrowing sequence. The “volunteer subjects” went through involuntary and invasive changes not just without consent, but largely after dying. The “viable” subject wound up working partly as a result of forced addiction to nuke.

        Oh no, I was being sardonic in order to further the, far more horrifying than I remembered, videos of people rejecting their bodies with such terrifying vehemence that they immediately terminated every sentient being within their capacity, including themselves.

        As a commentary on trans issues, work culture, capitalism, political favoritism, etc., robocop is upsettingly timeless.

        As a commentary on trans issues, work culture, capitalism, political favoritism, etc., robocop is upsettingly timeless. Its relevance is endless and interpretations many.
