Re: The Murderbot tv show and the gendered selections by the producers, and fandom shipping like the horny bunnies they are

Murderbot and ART are agender computer programs that don’t have sex. But people are going to do whatever makes them happy. And if that’s what gets them through the day then fine. The author even alludes to it in text. She’s perfectly well aware of fandom and how it works 🤣 For good and ill. She’s been a part of it since forever herself. Amena is basically all shippers personified. And Murderbot and Mensah don’t even know how to categorize their relationship.

Plus, Murderbot’s most ‘romantic’ language is reserved for when it is hacking into bots and computer systems. It ‘seduces’ transport bots, and has ‘ongoing relationships’ with hub systems.

I would say that despite itself, Murderbot has deep personal empathy for every awareness it encounters. The Ancient Greeks had different terms for the different kinds of love. I think it demonstrates a true example of the expression of agape and philia. Both of these have nothing to do with sex or gender.

@satinekryzeweek Day 1: Agape

What really gets me about Epic the musical is that Odysseus is a monster. He killed so many people. Not to mention all the monster introductions have just the monsters name in the title and he has his own song. He’s a monster. His hands bear the blood of so many, and yet… and yet Penelope still loves him. She still knows he’s a good man. She still cares about him and she understands why he made the decisions he made. She loves him in the most pure and raw sense possible. Of course he loves her too. Their love is the deepest sense of long that the English language can’t explain.

Psalms 31:14, 19 - I trust in You, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” ,,, We can say, I trust you God, but we must also be willing to show it. Our lives have to step by step change become more like Jesus. We must live like God is our God.

LIKE WHAAAT, i knew that the anime was The gay anime! everybody and their mothers would talk about the kiss between viktor and yuri, so i knew (who watches Yuri on ice and doesn't know about the kiss???) Anyways, the point is I DIDN'T KNOW THE KISS HAPPENED MID SEASON that surprised me and i thought "oh... from now on i guess everything is gonna be a little boring" because i'd never saw anything else besides the kiss on social media, and before the kiss SO MANY GAY SHIT HAPPENED, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT AT ONE POINT VIKTOR TOLD YURI HE COULD BE HIS BOYFRIEND, THAT HE WILL TRY HIS BEST???? GOD and then in the competitions viktor being so clingy ???.

God's "love" is so conditional, despite what they teach in Sunday School.

If God loves everyone unconditionally, then why would he revile my identity that he supposedly created me with in the womb.

If God loves everyone, why did he command for stoning a rape victim/an impure bride/a gay man/or a prostitute?

Proverbs 15:8, 29 - The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight...The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous. ,,, Today's sacrifice isn't about animals but rather a giving of yourself physically, financially or emotionally. You can do good for the wrong reason and be rejected by God. Make sure that your giving is from the heart and not for self gain

Agape [greek] = unconditional love; selfless; sacrificial.

"I’ve discovered that in lengthy prison terms, sensitive people are in danger of becoming embittered, developing grudges against the world, growing dull, indifferent and selfish. One of my main aims is not to yield an inch to such threats, regardless of how long I’m here. I want to remain open to the world, not to shut myself up against it; I want to retain my interest in other people and my love for them. I have different opinions of different people, but I cannot say that I hate anyone in the world. I have no intention of changing in that regard. If I did, it would mean I had lost."
