Also, can we change the "I'm not a robot" to "I'm not a fembot" It's 2015 already.
Christ, female robots? JJ has lost it, for sure.
Star Wars makes sick, I literally want to puke every time I see a new thread.
Fuck this shit shilling campaign and fuck the Mods for letting it go on here.

>>62803008
You can tell it's female because it looks like a stubby flatso. It's going to appeal to female SJW spergs. Fucking calling it now, tubbos are going to have BB-8 stickers on their lockers (or whatever kids do these days when they like something).
Honestly 2015 has been a great year for female robots
>Amerifats still using tabloids as a source despite JJ repeatedly referring to BB-8 as a "he"
Girls dont even fucking like Star Wars
>>62803008
>robot
>gender
this shit is really stupid
>>62803105
Um, it's a UK tabloid. If anything, you should be blaming them.
>>62803108
but that's because r2d2 is obviously a guy and the main heros have always been cis white males! obviously with more stronk wymyn and fembots and niggers, everyone will be represented and therefore like the movie!
qed
>>62803141
Bongs ought to know not to trust their tabloids
Amerifats don't and believe anything they say
>>62803108
They don't like video games or comics, either, but that doesn't stop them from trying to change them.
>>62803203
It's less women trying to change them than "female blogger complained and now all the beta white men are trying to laid"
>>62803008
>an empowered female robotic soccerball that gets blown to pieces in a trailer
ultimate kek
>>62803228
Well, yeah, that's what I meant. The "them" was rhetorical.
>>62803008
>Waiting for the inevitable fan fic someone writes talking about having sex with BB-8
I think even the production team knew they were getting ridiculous. Get fresher bait next time OP

It's a robot.
>JJ wants to recreate the OT, but he wants to change basically everything so it's "different"
I fucking hate this so much
>HEY LOOK GUYS, ITS TOTALLY NOT R2D2, ITS "BB8"!
He trolled the Trekkies and now he's trolling Star Wars fans
>>62803008
Oh, so that's why it looks like a soccer ball.
>>62803008
So, that robot is R2D2's and The Death Star's offspring from when they got lewd in the original trilogy?
How is robo babby formed?
>>62803008
>he made the female robot cute
Why does it have to be cute? What is JJ trying to say?
>>62803476
Buy me.
This article makes me think this author or someone at the Mail comes here

>>62804098
i never click links in these shitty shill threads
i do enjoy shitposting in them however
>>62803008
Why do robots have genders?
I get it for human like protocol droids, but I don't recall R2D2 having specific gender traits.
>>62804187
Feminists are actually the most sexist "people" there are.
They attribute sexes even to robots.
It's a total delusion. A sickness maybe.
enjoy your shitty star buttwars. you slap the logo on anything and rape the whole franchise and idiots still eats it up.
>>62804207
degeneracy is a downward spiral
If you listen to the commentary for A New Hope theey mention originally R2D2 was going to have a wheel ball like BB8 but the tech for it didn't exist.
So once again even this design is another OT nod
>robot on a pivot
>plays a pivotal role
Thats a really stupid looking robot.
>>62803008
>BB-8 is a girl
I can deal with this because it's probably going to come with so much porn.
>>62803048
>not finding BB-8 sexy
I want /reddit/ to get off of my /tv/
Can I identify as a robot?
>people complaining about BB-8 being a female droid
>no one bats an eye at C-3PO's male gay ass
fucking contrarian bitches the lot of you
>>62804207
...why is people in quotes?
>>62804933
C3P0 has a personality, this beach ball robot is just going to go "beep boop" and get called a woman.
>BB-8's name was chosen by Episode VII director J.J. Abrams because of the droid's round and bouncy look. Abrams is also quoted with saying, "I named him BB-8 because it was almost onomatopoeia. It was sort of how he looked to me, with the 8, obviously, and then the two B's." The name was conceived early on in Episode VII's production and was one of the few to never be changed.
>>62804933
Since when did C-3PO or R2D2 have genders?
They're machines, it's fucking retarded.
>>62804992
sounds about right actually
>>62803155

in much the same way anal beads appeal to girls. cant wait to see girls shoving bb-8 beads up their asses for star wars

Poor BB-8 everyone keeps calling him a she, first transgender droid about to roll out now.
>>62803080
We had an strong female potato years ago, this is nothing.
>>62803108
Geekshit was the original safe space. A place where nerds could escape real life through fantasy.
Now that's gone, it's been infiltrated, gutted and sold off piece by piece.
They don't actually like it? Doesn't matter, everyone likes it so they like it.
>BB-8 cute and strong – and female
>Cute
umm sure I guess you can make a droid more aesthetically pleasing
>Strong
maybe the given its shape or input it gives ehhh
>female
god damn it. you can make a bot for a female. you can make a bot female

Mother of god....
The feminists will change their tune once people start making porn.
What makes this soccerball female or sexed at all?
>>62803108
That's because the patrarchy has brainwashed them into not liking violence conflict and machines
They just need strong sensitive feminist allies like JJ to show them the way.
>>62807456
It's not female >>62806241
BB-8 being female is just a good troll.
Why are people so up in arms about it being a female robot?
That just means it has built-in fleshlight pleasure compatibility
I'd fuck BB-8 tbqh with you all my family
If there was an even mildly-female utility robot, people would find that really creepy if you were a single man that owned one.
I mean, people would probably jack off on them and molest them and shit. R2 wasn't even specifically male, and the only other major droid is 3PO. At least make a female 3PO type character, R2's and shit were never gendered.
>>62807610
>people would probably jack off on them and molest them and shit
you mean like real women?
yeah super creepy I wouldn't want to be caught with something like that lol.
>a gay robot is okay
>but a girl one is going too far
Typical /sp/ol/v/eddi/tv/ors
>>62807639
Owning a digital slave with a personality that can't snitch on you is different than a human companion.
It would be like if your toaster doubled as a fleshlight.
Now fuck off back to Tumblr or wherever you came from, retard.
>>62803008
>female robot
>not pink
Are they even trying?
>>62807759
No.
>>62803108
Excuse me shitlord, over 50% of geeks are women
WAIT
Are artoo and threepeo not in the new films?
>>62803108
While I'm sure the percentage is pretty low, my cousin is a girl and she's the biggest fucking Star Wars fan I know. Considering my social circle, that's a pretty big title. She's a total geek and not the "don't hit on me you silly boys" kind of way.
That being said, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't care whether or not a robot that can't even speak is female.
>>62809064
Pretty sure R2 has been in every trailer and teaser you moron.
And Threepio appears in the latest tv spots.
how can a robot have a gender?
>>62809274
I haven't been watching them because I can't fucking stand having to look at that gorilla faced nigger.
Will pirate it and watch for some good old artoo/3p0 bants tho
>>62809298
The most they can have is preferred pronouns. That being said, Star Wars was always more fantasy than sci-fi. Robots having "genders" isn't much of a stretch for the series.
I'm offended by the fact that BB-8 needs a gender and can't be a gender-fluid individual.
>>62803008
is this supposed to be a "funny" article or just a stupid click bait? I can't believe someone would do it seriously
Even if the droid is "female" does it fucking matter? It's just going to beep, boop and whirr. For example, if R2-D2 was "female" would it really make much of a difference?
