doing a friendly chat with hillary clinton, a war criminal who is directly responsible for countless deaths abroad and at home, while making a career as an edgy radical left video essayist is incredibly hilarious pic.twitter.com/a9Y2nh4ePe— ☀️👀 (@zei_squirrel) September 19, 2022
And the English word "woman" comes from the social role of "wife". Should we discard that as sexist as well? How many people actually look at 女 and think "that's a mother, and cannot refer to trans women."?
In Chinese robot combat (like King of Bots and This is Fighting Robots) they are sometimes called 机器人 which is robot (machine-person) and sometimes 铁甲, or Iron Armor. I think that's pretty dope but maybe it's also problematic.
huh, that seems like personification to me to differentiate with machines that don't appear to move on their own (i think some other languages the words for self-motive things are along the lines of "x with a soul") but i don't know any of the other social or etymological context that might make it bad.
i liked those shows. not really used to chinese TV editing norms but there were some great fights in there. ha! Jonathan Pearce saying "iron armorment" would be hilarious.

probably some? i've seen 1-2 people unironically suggest we stop using the word "robot" because it's etymology has something to do with slavery,
