>You know what it feels like to be judged simply because of how you look?
'Course I do..........
I'm part robot.
as much guff as this gets. Being a giant obvious robot has to be more ostrasizing than being black. Atleast when you're black you have a community.
idgaf what anyone says, that line lightened the mood just enough to ease the tension in a kid's cartoon without detracting from the message
>>84159244
I honestly couldn't tell if stuff like that was a wink to the audience or just them trying to be as uncontroversial as possible.
>>84159300
This.
>>84159300
>Atleast when you're black you have a community.
Hey now. I've been attending the Cyber-African Methodist Episcopal Church for years. The Cyber-Afro-American community is alive and thriving.
>>84159244
>That episode where Cyborg fought against the segregation of showers he could hit
>>84159244
This is one of the reasons Teen Titans is better than TTG! because it can touch on subjects of racism like this. Episodes like this are so sorely needed nowadays.
Star: You know what it feels like to be judged simply because of how you look?
Cyborg: 'Course I do. Happens all the time here on Earth.
Star: I see. Is it because you are part robot?
Cyborg: ... yeah.
I kind of wanted to see how TT would progress post Japan movie.
Did anyone actually think this was a race thing? It was kind of obvious he was referring to the gross attachments he has.
>>84159244
More like part black.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5yBH9lQOqc
>>84159300
He had enough experience being both that either could have worked, although the robot part is probably much more relatable to Starfire.
It was probably mostly the way that line was delivered that makes everyone point it out anyway. Because we don't live in a world of crazy beast men and sexy citrus cat aliens, it we anticipate him saying "I'm black" because that's most natural to us.
>>84159244
I may be half a robot, but at least I'm not black
>>84159244
I remind you that the team got onto a space ship with a massive racist and attacked a planet full of bug people on his say so even after it was clear he'd been calling one of their team mates a blunt racial slur to her face.
5 gets you ten they slaughtered a bunch of innocents because they looked different,
>>84159244
I kind of wish they hadn't stopped showing the Titans interacting with normies so we could actually SEE Cyborg get judged for being a robot.
>>84159498
>Its the Boondocks crossover episode where Uncle Ruckus accidentally lands in the TT universe
>>84159244
I swear, I remember seeing a scene at the end of that episode where Cyborg got kidnapped that showed the main villain of the episode playing Football
>>84159417
you're probably thinking of "The Sum of Its Parts"
>>84159568
Decided to reword the original reply. Anyways, yeah, that was that episode. Did I hallucinate that ending?
>>84159592
Yeah, I don't recall Fixit actually playing football then. Maybe it was a TTG episode?
>>84159244
Is being a cyborg really that bad? Do people really point at a cyborg and laugh and shit?
I, for one, think cyborg people are cool as fuck
>>84159244
Now lets hit those showers!!!
>>84159611
Being different from the norm leads to people being treated differently.
And yeah, I could see people making jokes like wondering if he still has a real dick
>>84159611
Keep in mind that he doesn't have a penis.
>>84159611
People don't have to point and laugh in order to ostracize someone
>>84159611
Well if TT was real life, it'd be pretty disgusting and revolting.
Not fun having your skin permanently infused with machinery of any kind.
>>84159390
Damn black people getting all the good cybernetics. Some punk teen from the hood transforming gun-arms, and my war-vet dad gets a metal stick for a leg.
>>84159657
*his birth penis
his dad swapped it out for the PussyCrusher600™ with penile extension matrices
>>84159678
that's not because he's black, it's because people don't respect war vets
>>84159657
Have you seen Zone's Cyborg and Jinx hentai?
>>84159685
I thought they recalled the 600 series after all the internal bleeding accidents.
>>84159762
That was only the ones produced in China, Chinese girls are smaller and tighter so the recall was more necessary for them than anyone else
The American produced 600 series were more flexible due to production standards being higher in the states
And besides, the 700+ series really didn't add anything in extra functionality or speed
>>84159841
That's what you get for outsourcing the robot penis factory to China. Donald Trump was right.
>>84159841
Just wait for them to put out the 800, it's gonna have bluetooth.
>>84159611
Sure itd be cool if you were ghost in the shell type.
>>84159884
the chinese robot penises work fine for anyone with an accommodating vaginal girth
>>84159897
But Cyborg is already blue
>>84159907
I don't trust Chinese labor. I want my robot penises made by honest, hardworking Americans.
>>84160016
But your robot penises are almost undoubtedly made by immigrants in sweat shops
>>84160115
American Immigrants in American Sweat Shops using American Materials.
What about cyborg vaginas? We can all agree the Russians are leading the industry with the Knob Gnasher 9000, right?
>>84160115
Not anymore. From now on, my robodicks will only have been touched by American hands!
>>84159685
Why does he have issue with his dad again? The man saved you from near death, made you a super hero and toss in a robot cock in the package.That's just good parenting
>>84159611
I reckon yes.
I mean, in reality it wouldn't be so clean cut. There would be major scarring, near constant maintenance, various antibiotics to prevent infections, the rejection issue and so on.
But this is a cartoon.
>>84160301
But you can't use them together. It's trying to plug into those weird European outlets.
So does being part robot add or subtract years to/from his life?
>>84159244
...holy shit, did the point of this line actually go over all of your heads?
I'm... almost a little impressed. Good... good job, I guess?
>>84159918
But his teeth aren't.
>>84159300
I think you have the amputee community. And who really looks at them like 'oh no what's an amputee doing here'. If anything they're probably jealous of his awesome prosthetics.
>>84159244
Yeah yeah, i get that being a cyborg is far more traumatizing than simply being black, but damn, as a black kid, that was a hell of a double-take moment.
I was just so fucking sure he was gonna say black.
>>84160725
Well that is kind of what they were going for too.
They just can't say black.
Although it would have had more of an effect if it were like this.
>'Course I do, I'm... part robot
time to hit the showers
>>84160725
pretty much the point. You're used to him being a cyborg, then you remember. "Oh wait, that shit's kinda weird" it would kind of make him weird even among black people and if there's one thing I've seen in the ghetto is black people are weirdly entitled about fucking with each other. If a black guy is weird somehow it's alright to fuck with him even if you barely know him because he's black. Like he's part of a community or something and people who are part of that community get to fuck with him because he's got nowhere to go otherwise.
>>84159406
Addressing racism is completely out of the scope of TTG.
>>84160725
it would have worked better had he said nothing more than 'Of course I do"
The audience would know and it would have felt more poignant.
>>84159407
well yeah but it would make people feel more sorry for cyborg then anything else.
he's trying to bring up the mood that won't happen if you use your dialog.
>>84160859
Nah, without them reminding us that becoming a robot against your will is probably a real bummer, the scene would've been diminished.
The way they did it, you definitely get both meanings.
>>84160865
It would be mostly a bitter pill reminder for the audience and a reminder starfire as an alien can't see the race lines people draw amongst themselves.
>>84160901
NO that's to fucking dark for my white child. DON*T YOU PUSH YOUR AGENDA ON ME.
>>84160893
That isn't what I got from the scene at all. i got like they we're going to imply the fact he was black, a fact Obvious to Starfire, but not the audience, but pussied out and stuck to the part robot shit almost eveyr arc he ever got focused on.
>>84160925
i'm sorry anon but i've been slipping your white child HRT, he's a tumblr lesbian now.
>>84159445
jesus, it's especially apparent when you have the whole dialogue exchange. It's been a while since I've watched an episode, that's pretty intense for a kids cartoon.
>>84160652
But amputees aren't covered in laser cannons and bombs and shit. As well as have the ability to hack into all of my electronics and look at my porn with a thought.
I'd be a little nervous around cyborg. But still find him cool as hell.
>>84160956
>a fact Obvious to Starfire, but not the audience
What?
There's no way Star even understands human race relations.
>>84159657
This. even though it's replaceable losing you actual genitalia is a big mental thing for guys to have to deal with. Ernest Hemingway even wrote a story on this sort of thing.
with how much of our culture has gender and Sex stuff, being changed to what is basically a Eunuch will fuck with you on some level.
>>84160381
I don't think he had issue with his dad, he knows the procedure saved his life and his dad was working under a desperate time window. it more just 'what is a man, and am I a man when i'm more machine' pondering doubt.
think how much society associates the penis with being defining of you 'being a man' then imagine suddenly you survived a horrific accident, but no longer have that. yeah it sounds tumblr as fuck to say but having gone through that kind fo trauma, especially when he's now partly an 'object/thing' because he's machine, it fucks with you a bit.
>>84159244
i will never understand the hate that this gets. being part robot easily takes priority over being a fucking black person. what would you rather him say? "yeah i'm part robot AND black! that's double the discrimination!"
>>84161012
I meant oblivious it's 3 am here.
>>84160991
>I'd be a little nervous around cyborg. But still find him cool as hell.
OH, so just like a black guy.
>>84161086
Actually human culture is more likely to put Black above being robot, unless he's enough of a robot he stops looking human in the face region. once he loses a human face then he becomes more likely to be viewed as 'just' an object like robots tend to be regarded.
>>84161098
>black guys

>>84159244

>implying that's the "racism" episode
Wasn't there an alien that kept calling Starfire "nothing" in one episode?
>>84161702
That's where its from.
>>84161702
Yes, "Troq".
>>84161733
Oh, for some reason I thought that was from the episode where a kid in the park had a prosthetic and was all "hey we're so similiar :)" to Cyborg
>>84159406
Those two shows are absolutely nothing alike and only retards would compare them in a way like you just did
>>84159244
So he's half Asian?
>>84160810
You could've just likened it to 4chan.
>>84161666

>>84159611
Play Deus Ex games and find out good reasons why.
Not all people will be understanding, even if said modifications improve your quality of life.
>>84159407
That's actually worse.
The original has Cyborg acknowledge what he feels sets him apart. Your version has Starfire prompt him, implying that *she* sees his robot nature before his humanity. His sheepish agreement implies not only that he did not think of himself that way before, but that now he has yet another shameful minority status imposed on him.
Functionally, star might have well called him "the ugly".
Does Cyborg still have a BBC?
>>84159498
>>AW, LAWD! DEY GOT NIGGABOTS UP IN THIS TERRIBLE FUTURE! WHITE GAWD SEND ME HOME AFORE I GET KILLED BY RAMPAGING ROBOTHUG OVER HERE!
>There are people who don't get that opting to not say black confirms to the audience that racism is still obvious in our lives, as we immediately assume the black man is talking about his skin color.
If Cyborg was white the line wouldn't even be questioned, which is the whole point of the line.

It WOULD be Abercrombie & Fitch to do something like this. Isn't the CEO an asshole who hates uncool, unfashionable people or something like that?
>>84161117
This. In complete honesty, I think people would recognize him as a black man and judge him accordingly to whatever views they'd have of blacks before ostracizing him as a robot.
Of course when you have so much of you replaced with cybernetic parts, people might treat you a little differently. But most would still look at him and see a black man imo.
And of course he was black before he was a cyborg too.
>>84159407
Star: You know what it feels like to be judged simply because of how you look?
Cyborg: 'Course I do. I'm part robot.
Star: But aren't you also a black?

>that's not because he's black, it's because people don't respect war vets
I've always had a problem with people arguing you should respect war vets. They joined the army for their own reasons and sold themselves into slavery for the nation for their own reasons.
If they got blowed up in the latest war for capitalism I don't see why they should get respect.
I respect their intentions but they sure as hell didn't think any of this through.

The deaf community is unique in how shitty they are, other disability groups are generally not hostile or aggressive without provocation. I've heard it speculated that it's because they're socially shut off from the rest of the world- while a guy with a missing arm can still hold a conversation with a guy with two arms, a deaf person can only really talk with another deaf person, or the tiny handful of regular people who know sign language. So they become incredibly isolated cockwads who hate everybody outside their group.

I don't know what I was expecting on 4chan, honestly. Even applied to something that I personally know.
The Deaf don't hate people with implants, they hate the people who force them on their children, and the people who encourage them. I agree the stigma towards getting implants is overbearing and unfair in some cases - cochlear implants do help certain people and they're fine as long as they consent - but a lot of times they're used as a fix for something that in fact cannot be fixed, when something other than the cochlea is fucked up.
Obviously I could write multiple papers on this but the point is that I don't fucking try to sum it up in one dumbass sentence.

Dude deaf people are some major assholes, especially among themselves.
go look up the incident where a school for deaf people got pissy the deaf person they wanted to be dean, wasn't 'born deaf' therefor didn't deserve to be the dean.
>>84176312
>The current climate is only a result of a feeling of being attacked by an outside group trying to take away the thing we love.That's what makes this sudden influx of racism kind of embarrassing really.And in many circumstances, people aren't even trying to take anything away from nerds, just trying to genuinely promote diversity.
>>84176242
>So they will look more capable instead of disabled.
My best friend in highschool is missing a leg. He used to have the most awesome prostetics. Like functioning steampunk shit, prostectics with professional grade album art on it, one that was designed to look like a baseball bat. Girls were always rubbing that shit up.

You're in luck then!

Maybe. Maybe not. But i can say for sure they are going about it in the wrong fucking way.
>>84176421
it's a response to modern culture increasingly trying to deny and hide anything negative. the more you force people to bottle up anything the worse it becomes. years and years of people being pushed aside in various little ways, but not allowed to complain about it, builds and festers and needs an outlet.
the world's been sitting on a lot of stagnation for way longer than it should have, and the boiling point has started to hit, that's why so many random bursts are happening all over in various ways.

4chan is pretty diverse, we are... were... Joke hate diverse. Them we attracted a bunch of sjw and real racists thinking those jokes were serious.
And this comes from a guy from a third-world country without any white ancestor. Old 4chan was okay.
So if you could have cybernetic augmentations replace different body parts, what would you want replaced?
>>84176559
My knees and spine.

We're mostly contrarian and deal in hyperbole because we're anonymous. we exaggerate everything to extremes partly because being faceless let's us actually fully vent.

More than anything, i think it is the (not sure i am using this word correctly) meta surrounding comics now. Just an example, when sam wilson took over as cap, i probably would have thought that was cool if i was reading it by itself. But now i assume everything is just the sjw squad trying to force their politics into the medium and it irks me.

Pretty much.

Cyborg in the cartoon doesn't look too bad, but in the comics - especially at the beginning - he looked like a third of a Cyberman had been pasted over half his body.
Plus, the aim nowadays is for a prosthetic to be as non-intrusive as possible, which calls for biological enhancements, like grafting replacement limbs on cloned from your genes.
>>8417662
sort of, i think the thing is part of a greater trend, people aren't actually as stupid as the people in power like to 'assume' they are.
think how much entertainment culture portrays politicians as corrupt, we 'know' they are, we just rarely were mad enough to do anything. now though people are finally getting so mad at allt hese little things over years they will make trumpa real candidate, and Europe will vote to leave entirely on 'fuck you that's why'
Nerd culture has an extra unique hurdle though, we aren't 'valued' but we are exploited because we're newly profitable to the 'preferred' demo. we get tired of basically beign told 'our' stuff is important enoguh to steal, but not enough anything about it needs to be preserved (fuck the character you liked, making this a woman will get the tween demo, fuck your opinion, he's gay now because it tests well.) it's the same deal in 'our' stuff, years of being pushed, devalued, yet still 'expected' to sit down shut up and accept everythign you love beign changed to appeal to fairweather people because they are 'better' than you. that is the kind fo treatment that even if minor, left to fester will get worse and worse, and breed angrier and angrier outlooks as you keep doing it.
>>84176751
Well when i think of sjws, i normally think of people like laci or anita. Not sure who inmediately comes to mind for /co/ though
>>84159484
There's an episode where they explain that starfire's race are the niggers of the universe. She would have actually benefited from a black history month episode.
>>84176795
ComicsAlliance?
>>84176796
This is true. I remember her explaining that her people were called nothing, not meaning they were not insulted, but that most civilized races did not even want to ackowledge they existed. It eas pretty deep for my 10 year old brain.
>>84176777
honestly, I put a lot of my eventually loving of cyborg as character on to Khary Payton. that mans voice perfectly seems to embody both parts you 'need' to see what can make cyborg cool (the TTG ability to be lighthearted and feel like a true bro, the ability to have a serious and strong voice when needed of OG TT and the rare serious TTG moments.
once you see his potential he just suffers from the bad writing curse many Comic people do.
>>84176777
I've always liked the Pacificans from Fracture. It's rare for artists to use the "organic technology" concept without going full Zerg.
>>84176844
I had a brainfart, op's quote was in reference to it.
https://youtu.be/O5yBH9lQOqc
>>84176906
Looking at the scene, i think it really was better that they said robot. It was broad enough that kids would be able to grasp the concept, but obvious enough that adults understood what was being implied. Very classy.
>>84167901
Why does he look like if Benedict Cumberbatch got smashed in the face with a frying pan multiple times?
>>84176972
I feel like having him say robot outright is more being too afraid to imply the more obvious thing he'd get racist treatment for, because it's a 'kids' show.
if you wanted to be subtle, i think >>84159407 style conversation does it better. because it shows further how innocent Starfire actually is, because the only difference she can 'see' Cyborg has to other humans is his robot parts.
>>84177076
Now that you point that out, i agree.
>>84167419
>implying that even matters to the idiots around here
>>84177165
I am one of the people who normally gets pissed. But back then it didnt feel as forced, or it didnt have the same context as if it had happened today.
>>84177076
You guys talk like if cyborg prejudice weren't a thing. A security guy tried to rip off an implant attached to the skull of a guy that served to aid his vision because he thought it was some sort of google glass even if the guy was trying to explain that it wasn't and it was attached to his skull.

Deafanon go home, nobody cares about your 'but muh deaf community' bullshit. There is no consent needed for giving someone hearing and making them not disabled.
>>84176038
>The Deaf don't hate people with implants, they hate the people who force them on their children, and the people who encourage them
It is a bad thing to restore hearing? I dont understand.

If they got blowed up in the latest war for capitalism I don't see why they should get respect.
You have to be 18 to post here
>>84177569
y'know, if she had mentioned the prostethic arm at the interview and they had rejected her at that point;she'd still have enough reasons to sue them.

Black in Africa is splitting waay too many hairs.
Theres different kinds of blacks there.
Sure you heard of Tutsi and Hutus. Thats just the tip of the iceberg.
Zulu, Baka, Samburo(I think), Langi, the list goes on.

Only evil hearts would look ill towards Cyborgs.
>>84178027
i agree I just always think of that story when i think of Cyborg because losing your genitalia has to really fuck with you, especially if you're also even less human now.
>Implying that if you knew a black guy who had robot parts and a cool blaster arm you wouldn't think he was the raddest shit ever
Like, seriously. Dude.
Let's hit the showers!
>>84178678
yeah 'we' would, because much as 4chan can off seem racist shits, we're still nerds at heart and blaster arm is cool as fuck.
but regular people are more likely to see a black dude who can now smash walls and is bullet proof, and panic. when his arm becomes a gun.
>>84177747
Educate yourself man, shitty as you think you have it your still living in the US, your more privileged than the vast majority of humanity. Stop crying to try and guilt a little more money out of people and do something constructive.

You can't spell and you can't even make use of all caps in a reasonable or consistent manner. I highly doubt you have actually studied the issue, you've just picked up the popular party lines. Most of what you complain about is imagined grievances, or problems you bring down on yourselves.

As a child of a deaf mother I'd appreciate it if you didn't pigeon-hole members of the deafBoth my mother and I hate other deaf people for pretty much the exact reasons you stated, along with their strange sense of superiority or "uniqueness"
