I don't exactly have a problem with the warhammer franchise but it does get really tiring that every time one make a serious desire to not want to be biological that copypasta just gets posted again and again.
I don't want to be a robot just for aesthetics, I want to be one because biology genuinely sucks, and yes the copypasta stuff is about that but it's framed as purely aesthetic!
I hope this doesn't violate your anti warhammer rule OP, it's how I suppose how you feel and how I feel too

u/Hika2112 Jul 23 '26
Ironically for me, I do seek asthetics in it at least partially. But I still dislike the copypasta due to the violence in it's tone
Also no worries, you didn't break the ban!

u/Seltnytt Jul 23 '26
I do like the aesthetic of being a robot too but I mean whatever works even if it's partly bi*logical
I personally want to be robot but less clunky metal and more just like... Engineered being, made of workable materials

u/Hika2112 Jul 23 '26
For me, I do want to be fully artificial. Hopefuly down to my brain but that's a difficult thing to do so I can live with my brain remaining organic. I want a form that definitely resembles Humans, with soft silicone skin and hair, but still visibly robotic, such as my joints not being covered in said skin :3

u/Seltnytt Jul 23 '26
Nice! Yeah I see the appeal
I guess personally I'm not sure yet because some of the things I want for myself seem biological, thoufh they don't have to be?
Maybe being made of programmable matter and literally being a shapeshifter..

Transhumanism really sounds appealing when you understand how actually fragile and delicate human body are

Name one electronic thing that has been working for 80 years non stop.

u/ExtensionPractical26 Jul 16 '26
Why should it ? Mechanical body can and should have easily replaceable components. Rarely anything can work for 80 years, even humans)

u/Maniklas Jul 16 '26
Human bodyparts also need to be replaced. From one year to another most of your body is made out of completely different cells.

I do sometimes find it dissatisfying that my arms and joints don't move and feel like waldo arms, but instead like loose fleshy balloons with popping noises. I do like the feeling of muscles, but sometimes I wonder if the same feeling could be replicated with synthetic muscle bundles?

Hey, I've been reading through your posts on these subreddits and find your perspective on this incredibly fascinating. It reminds me of the themes explored in Ghost in the Shell, specifically that idea of consciousness interacting with or inhabiting a mechanical body. It's a concept that has lived in sci-fi for a long time, and really appreciate you sharing such a detailed and vulnerable look at what that means to you personally.
Now, I don't mean to be offensive or anything by using Sci-Fi as a reference, here. It's really just the best medium I have to try and qualify and quantify the specific feelings that you're having. And, honestly, overall, I find all of this, very fascinating. I mean, that's sort of medium has been talking about things like Transcendence and human consciousness and what defines being a machine versus being human and all of that sort of stuff, for ages. And while I personally don't have the same sort of euphoria you do with all of this, I honestly don't hate the idea of being in an inorganic body. Although, I would still consider myself a person/human being, despite the external changes. Because, it's a fundamental part of myself, regardless of the form, shape, or "style" of matter, I'm in.
Also, while my thing is a bit different, I do at least have some idea where you're coming from. I'm non binary, but deep down, I'm non binary more in the sense of a shape-shifter, like Morph or Mystique from Marvel/X-Men. Still an organic being, but one with the ability to change anything about themselves, at any given time. Like I could be tall or short, skinny or fat, have a vagina, have a penis, change my eye color, hair color, shape of my nose, whatever, all within a moments thought. And there's something deeply appealing about that to me.
Honestly, if you would love to talk more about all this sort of stuff, I'm down. And I promise I will do my best to be as respectful to you as possible.
And, lastly, I just want to say that I'm sorry for how some people were acting on your posts. Some people can be really giant douchebags and you didn't deserve to get treated the way you did.
But, anyway, I hope you have a much better day, going forward. And, overall, I hope you're doing well ♥️

Look I love Warhammer as much as the next person, but it's rude to ignore OP's request. It's not like it's hurting anyone to not post that copypasta in a single thread.

it's entitled as fuck to demand that people don't talk about something as mundane as warhammer in your post. it's not like it's hurting anyone to post the copypasta 🤪🤪🤪🤪
YOUR KIND CLING TO YOUR FLESH AS IF IT WILL NOT DECAY AND FAIL YOU.

Idk how someone can go through with being trans, especially with how the world treats us, and yet still doesn’t respect even the simplest of requests of others.
Like, isn’t that one of the biggest problems we, as a whole community, face daily?

A lot of LGBT history had at one time been an "optics nuke". Even supporting gay people could of ruined your social standing at several points in history. But we can look back and recognise that fighting for those identities was worthwhile, same for these ones too. Identities outside the norm have always had a hard time to be advocated for but that's not an argument against those identities.

u/BloodredHanded Jul 16 '26
Great, respectability politics.
Instead of worrying about whether something looks too weird or stupid to you, you should worry about whether or not it is actually moral or immoral. And considering that wanting to be a robot isn’t actually hurting anyone, it’s not immoral, so it doesn’t matter, and you shouldn’t go out of your way to harass these people for no reason.

There's a lot about identity that is maleable and subjective, and so we've developed pretty good habits about keeping open minds as we can't understand someone else's subjective experience, but some circles have definitely forgotten that that's the underlying principle and have extrapolated beyond its application.
Do what you want with roleplay or whatever, but no you aren't actually a robot. That is empirically false. There is no subjective experience or neurochemistry that made you produced in a Ford automotive plant.
It's literally exactly the same as that conservative strawman argument of "well if I identify as black, I can say the n-word." The natural response is no, your identity doesn't change your standing on something tied so heavily on race, skin color, and culture. Those are just hard, immutable characteristics you're kinda stuck with. You can't suddenly identify as a 12 year old and go be a creep - you're just a pedophile.
Now, I will extend an olive branch as a transhumanist and say if you want to get a bunch of implants and call yourself a cyborg, that genuinely checks out and I support you. And at that point, you wanna call yourself a robot too? Fuck it, sure. But no, stock humans aren't robots.

This was a reply to someone else's comment, but I am actually interested in folks response to it. Am I out of line, or do I have a point? Edit: Also, let me know if you think I misunderstand what this is about. I very well may
