#of seeing a post where virgil backed off from mel's touch bc of something like this

you know those signs in portal 2, all about developing robots and how 'wow robots are better and the future' and what not

(an example i found also side note love how this looks like blue sky wheatley lmfao-)

makes me think our robot sillies were probably abused like hell by aperture staff under the assumption that 'they're not human so we don't have to treat them as such'.

do you think they were threatened with being dissembled or something, reprogrammed? forced to work harder, i mean it's not like the robots need to pay to live, or sleep, or eat, no no it can easily work 24/7 with 0 pay.

the cores don't have lives outside of aperture, not like they can sue from inside the facility.

i mean glados (other than besides doug) is referred to as it and stuff by employee's and so is the prototype core that henry shows in the lab rat comics.

you know food for thought.
