What do people think you mean by “clanker”

let’s be real tho, the creation of the word “clanker” as a derogatory term to refer to robots and ai is directly linked to the creation of other slurs to refer to other groups. ultimately it’s a slur intended to easily distinguish an “outgroup”, just in this instance that “outgroup” happens to be artificial intelligence and robots, instead of a demographic of humans. that type of stuff is normally appealing to racists and the like, so that’s probably why they’re going mask off near you
