    But that’s a slur that does hurt people. Clanker doesn’t, whether said in public or privately. I also agree that it’s not really a slur since it’s targeted at unfeeling robots. I think people mostly just call it a slur because it’s funny (to them, though morally classifying it as such is murky).

      That’s the part that really gets to me, like, why is it funny???
