    Take a joke, dude.

    I'm saying that people who draw SEXY fembots... especially a LOT of sexy fembots, and write their own extensive fanfics for them, are the last people that should be crying foul on this silly bit of slash fiction (which has already been a running joke in the fandom since... well, forever).

    Now you're hardly a prime offender in regards to public fembot fanwankage, so I'm sorry if it seemed like I singled you out. Again, I'm just teasing.

    But it's sadly pretty true that all the venomous "barf barf" responses to this harmless fluff video would seem to have a lot more to do with the gay angle. I'm reasonably sure that a similar video featuring Hotrod and Arcee, or Prowl and some fan-fembot, or whoever, would meet a much less vehement response overall.

    I personally am also "against sexual fantasies with TFs". I prefer to see them as non-gendered machine-beings whose biologies and relationships shouldn't necessarily equate our human ones.

    But I still understand why there's a lot of left-over sexualization of childhood characters in the larger geekdom, and why fembots are fun to draw. I would just expect people who are aware of that to kick up less of a fuss about some random TF slash fiction on the net. It could come off as hypocritical (and/or homophobic).

    So not to you in particular, but in general, those who sexualize iconic childhood characters like TFs (even just in an implied way), should not cry foul when somone else does the same. It's one of those glass house-throwing stones kinds of things.

    Wow, that's sick sick SICK!

    I wouldn't have a problem with a TF hetrosexual couple making out, but that was PURE garbage!

    I can just imagine BW Inferno declaring this to be inferior before pairing himself and Megatron.

    The reactions in this thread are just as funny as the video itself. :lol

    Okay, so that's a specifically homophobic reaction then? :) 

    Because naturally, asexual alien machines, if they did fall in love, would fall in love with counterparts that resemble conventional opposing masculine or feminine gender types, right?

    Hmmm... actually, following that logic, to Megatron, Starscream would be a fembot wouldn't he?

    Besides, what's really the diff? Unless you subscribe to the idea that all TFs are hiding their "junk" in their robot underpants, they're all the same anyway. ;)

    Meh. If Starscream or Megs had been female, we would have been screaming at both of them to just get it over with, even back in the 80s.

    I sat through the whole thing and don't mind it one bit.

    But I do not support TF slash, period. I think all that slash is one big message that many women are very disappointed in RL men and relationships in general.

    That's pretty sad, IMHO.:/
