St.Clair:
now, as to another aspect of the latest comic:
I'm honestly not sure this is a case of discrimination against AIs. IMO, it's an entirely different sort of bullshit. I imagine a human employee (with a similarly high performance rating) would have been just as fired. Whoever had that job was going to lose it so the owner could give it to their boy.

I like short hair on women, but I don't like the new hairdo on Roko specifically. I much preferred the older look.

True - but there's no reason to assume that Roko will want to keep a hairstyle based on an accident any more than Momo did. Maybe some more much-needed business for Union Robotics*?
*Minor trivia: A "Union Robotics" exists in this universe too...**
** Somebody else may have mentioned this already, but I've probably been too inattentive to notice :roll:

--- Quote from: SeattleCrochetWoman on 20 Apr 2021, 22:00 ---I like Roko’s hair too. I get so tired of the idea that women have to have long or at least shoulder-length hair. It used to be acceptable for women,mercenary young women, to have short hair. Now if you’re a woman under 70, your hair has to be at least shoulder length or you get negative comments. And the same thing if guys let their hair grow. I’m sick of it. Why do we all have to have the same hair length?

I just like the way long hair looks on women.
Of course I don't think it's a big deal if a woman decides to wear their hair short either. Just means that for me personally their attractiveness has decreased unless they wear it really well.

It's that, over time, all of them end up with short hair.
It reduces the diversity of character design.
To return to an extreme example I've used before, imagine if everyone was represented by circles of various colors and/or sizes, otherwise featureless and identical. Just... circles.

None of them even have the same hairstyle, they look nothing alike.
No matter how many times you repeat that argument, it won't get any less ridiculous.
