sure would be cool if the transformers fandom weren't bootlickers.
"Uwuwuwu you need to be niceys when doing a revolution!"
I wasn't aware that asking politely was how chattel slavery was ended. Or how we got women's rights, or disability rights, or an end to segregation in America or labor laws of any kind.
Genuinely- do you talk to people who aren't you? Do you know anyone who isn't middle class and up? Have you looked out the fucking window once in the past five or ten or twenty years??
Are you upset that you are thrown into the gladiator pits day after day, made to mine endlessly for energon, trapped by a society that says your form dictates your function which determines your fate? Change it- no, no, not like that! Don't kill dictators, don't take down monuments to fascism, don't get mad that your people die starving in the dark! We meant, ask politely!
People will straight up write a Decepticon revolution- and then spin it so that despite all these correct arguments for change to such wild class stratification, for an immediate end to Functionism, to Quintesson slavery, etc- it is better to have endless petitions and debates in the face of a clearly corrupt Senate. We just need to have our Divinely Appointed Ruler and all will be well!
Clearly the divine doesn't mean shit if it's choice is a bot that won't do whatever it takes to free their people.
Also this thing writers do, portraying the bots of Kaon as inherently brutish rather than beat down by wider society. Community coming together to help one another? What kind of asinine crap is that, surely The Poors are just born savage, with no desire but to steal and kill and assault!
