An activist who is terrified that robots enacting degrading stereotypes will undermine difficult and continuing work for equality?
There's room for argument whether there's even a difference there. I think there is, and that Momo is the second of the two, but how on earth do you distinguish which is which from the outside?

I'm probably simplifying, but for me, that basic difference is motivation.
The first is motivated by a wish for power, or a feeling of superiority to others.
The second is motivated by a genuine desire to make the world a better place.
How is this visible from the outside? As Zoe has already posted, the visible aspect of this is empathy. Or, as she eloquently expressed in another post, the accent is on "good."
Momo surely ticks all of the boxes behind door #2. She has very clear goals, and what's more they are for the betterment of her kind, not simply of herself.
I find that admirable.
I would like to think (but am not necessarily seeing, at least not obviously) that those people who bash Marten for drifting and having no goals would admire Momo for basically being his polar opposite, at least in this respect.
I remember a couple of people bashing Claire when she first appeared as well. For similar reasons. She was obviously passionate about her vocation, and people initially got their noses out of joint when she expressed it.

I also can't remember enough HTML to realise that the tags aren't HTML.

--- End quote ---
Well to be fair, that's the human Fight Club.
Robot Fight Club is a bit different in that they don't have Meat Loaf hanging about to get his skull smashed open. :roll:
