Also maybe a hot take but I think ACAB shouldn't apply to Robocop because HE WAS LITERALLY FORCED TO BE A COP AGAINST HIS WILL. That bunny cop can eat shit tho.
This is true, which kinda destroys my whole argument tbh, but also it could be seen as an allegory about the influence of capitalism on law enforcement.
The movie is literally an allegory about the influence of capitalism on law enforcement. The cops are gonna be privatized and run by OCP.
Edit: and yes, I said something is literally an allegory which is a paradox but you get what I mean
HE WAS LITERALLY FORCED TO BE A COP AGAINST HIS WILL
SS conscripts have entered the chat.
Deep lore, from the reddit days i believe. Someone wanted to fuck the bunny cop (from whatever movie had a bunny cop 🤷 ). Seriously, that's it. They were real serious about it
No. They were mad that people were saying ACAB about Judy Hops because they wanted to fuck the bunny cop.
The best bit was when someone from the Zootopia subreddit came to yell at us for being mean to the guy, as he was well known in those parts.
The fuckability of the bunny cop was never in doubt, only the ethics of fucking the bunny cop
Oh that's right. I forgot how we found out they wanted to fuck the bunny cop. I remember they were very upset
In Poland it was funnier because our version of ACAB is CHWDP (Chuj w dupę policji) which literally means "Cock in police ass"

"I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?"
On point with the satire. Too bad everyone only saw "whoa! cool robot cop!" and then we got the sequels, cartoons and toys.
Verhoeven has always been great with the satire.
Showgirls is brilliant if you realize it's cutting satire.
I can't imagine someone like Verhoeven getting allowed to make big budget Hollywood movies now.
