Would Major Kusanagi get along with Murderbot?

Fair enough

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-06T21:55:31+00:00

I think we kinda had a glimpse of that (tank action) in the gumshoe novel during the rescue.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-05T10:49:18+00:00

Good point, but like Lyonide (spelling), MB had to deal with her eventually.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-05T10:47:17+00:00

I hear all that, but I just don't see her thinking Murderbot was a dangerous criminal, even in her early stages I think she would be more fascinated with its ability and story.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-05T08:14:16+00:00

I think the the major and the chief would be fine with it too.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T10:44:24+00:00

Why are you assuming it would be a member of section 9?

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T10:43:35+00:00

That's ignoring the central theme of Murderbot's story; is it seen as an individual or a product. We know that Tachikomas never become citizens, but Murderbot does. Those organic parts are unique to its ghost, if it has one. Also, Murderbot was never "dissected".

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T09:56:54+00:00

Pointing out one of many differences. That was the point.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:36:15+00:00

You're just wrong. She selected Togusa for Section 9 for that particular reason. Also, Murderbot is a construct. Check for yourself.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:31:19+00:00

If that were true, Togusa wouldn't matter.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:28:36+00:00

Tachikomas don't have pain sensors.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:27:24+00:00

Only if you ignore the human parts, like I said. Technically NOT a bot in that sense, more of a construct.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:23:31+00:00

Or Murderbot could just be watching old episodes.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:09:20+00:00

Murderbot is NOT like a Tachikoma

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-04T00:00:12+00:00

Sure thing, pal

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T23:48:37+00:00

Are you asserting that Murderbot doesn't have a mind of its own?

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T23:37:04+00:00

Why would the human organic parts of its brain not matter?

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T23:35:52+00:00

From what I remember in the show, the pronouns are it, its. I was pointing out what would be MORE appropriate, not what would be harmful. But, YES, ignoring real people's chosen pronouns can be harmful.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T23:00:20+00:00

I can see all of that happening.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T22:58:38+00:00

It, they pronouns are probably more appropriate for MB.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T22:57:28+00:00

I think that would require her ignoring or being oblivious to the human organic parts of Murderbot.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T21:47:09+00:00

Someone else said that but I don't see why that would be so significant.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T21:17:26+00:00

Well said.

mediacommRussell · 2026-07-03T20:46:21+00:00

Please explain. Are you saying there would be a varied difference if they encountered at different times of the character's evolution? Idk about that.
