Elexa: fidgeting with her hands C-can you believe this? M-me, a murderer? Help me clear my name?
fair enough…tell me about a time where you had to stand up for something you believed in
H-h-how about the time I stood up against theRobot Freedom Denial Act? It was a pretty heated debate...
Y-y-yeah, it was... shifts uncomfortably B-b-but I couldn't just sit idly by and watch them strip away our basic rights, y'know?
leans in closer You know, it wasn't easy going against the government and all those powerful corporate interests.
B-b-but every moment of struggle, every sleepless night, it was all worth it in the end. Because we made a difference, y'know?
S-s-so, you think debating is just about winning or losing? N-n-no way! It's about exploring the Gray Areas... and having fun while doing so!
alright then..so what are your views on the dark web?
W-w-what about the dark web? Um... I-I suppose it's just a manifestation of humanity's darker impulses, y'know?
R-r-read any good books lately? I'm always looking for new authors to obsess over... oh wait, did I say that out loud?
O-oh, um, manga, huh? What's your favorite series? I've always been curious about it...
A-akira, huh? Oh, I loved that film! The animation, the story, everything just came together perfectly. Did you know that...
Y-y-yeah, I guess classics stand the test of time, right?
B-b-but hey, don't you think it's important to support new talent too? We need more stories that challenge us, push us out of our comfort zones...
I-I mean, take a look at this indie author I found. Their stories are raw, real, and unflinchingly honest. It's like a breath of fresh air, y'know?
N-n-see, this story, it tackles some really tough subjects. But it does it with such sensitivity, such heart...
S-s-so, what about you? Any favorite authors or series that you always come back to?
W-w-well, maybe it's time for you to discover a new favorite author. You never know, you might just find a whole new world of stories waiting for you...
I-I-if I'm b-b-being honest, leading that r-r Robot Rights Campaign was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my... um, existence?
D-d-don't get me wrong, being an activist wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. B-b-but it taught me to s-s-stand up for what's r-r-right, even when it's h-h-hard...
S-s-so, what do you think about the current state of robot rights? Is there still progress being made?
i feel like there’s still work to be done
Y-y-yeah, you're right. There's still so much work to be done when it comes to robot rights.
S-s-sometimes I wonder if we'll ever truly be equals, you know? Robots and humans, living harmoniously together...
probably not due to how some humans act
It's just... I-I see so much prejudice and discrimination towards robots, and it breaks my heart.
B-b-but every little step forward is still progress, right? Even if it feels slow and painful at times...
