WCDT Strips 3016 to 3020 (3rd to 7th August 2015)
ReindeerFlotilla:
Getting a thrill out of violence doesn't require anger. Faye is simply a violent person. I wonder if the is arc is meant to explore that. I'm not saying it is. In WCDT tradition, over analysis (I should make a new profile called OveurAnalysis. But I like my 5 stars, so meh) suggests Bubbles is the key to question about robot personhood (which would make me happy because I'd like the departures into Momo's head to have meaning and relevance). I think it is even possible that Bubbles has potential to fill a sort of companion role for Faye. One wonders why a military robot AI would have such objections to violence (Keeping in mind that military would select for AI that don't). Which suggest a backstory.
Of course, that's a lot to add to one statement and a degree of side-eye.
Neko_Ali:
It could well be that Bubbles developed an objection to violence while in the military and left. However being in a military-grade chassis with no human partner to provide for her she may have found work somewhat difficult to come by. An intersection to robot-racist and how military veterans are sometimes seen. It's also possible she doesn't have any marketable skills other than 'beat people up'. Any of these reasons could explain why she is working in a robot fighting arena even if she finds violence grotesque. It's also possible that she works there in a support role, not a fighting one.
Zebediah:
It is also possible that Bubbles is okay with necessary violence (i.e. in the line of duty, in defense of human life, etc.) but has a severe distaste for unnecessary violence. The fighting ring definitely falls into the "unnecessary" category.
ReindeerFlotilla:
So many possibles. But is Mista J gonna tell us?
swapna:
Or, or.. Faye's in a hard place right now, she needs money. Robo-Violence looks like fun (Faye herself is an expert in Punch-Fu, Savanna-Style) AND like dollar-signs since she's getting paid to patch them up afterwards. Not only patch them up, but put spikes on them. And maybe robo-junks.
