aauuuuhhhh, doug. i’m a big scifi guy and i think doug is the best ‘robot-discrimination’ arc i’ve ever read or watched. like, instead of an overwatch-like broad daylight cartoon hatecrime and made up slurs, it’s the much more realistic constant microaggressions from people you love and reminders from the job you like wearing you down into internalizing it until one day you wake up and you have no self-esteem and are hurting those around you! and fixing that is a lifelong process! even this scene is someone who could never experience depersoning on that level just being like “who cares what people think :]” and i love already knowing how that attitude goes horribly wrong lol.
anyway doug’s whole deal is just masterfully done in a really touching way. #godoug #teamdoug
Seeing this flashback to an earlier part in Doug’s life and personal progression is interesting and awesome. “I’ve had a few drinks” is both objectively funny and made me giggle, but also an interesting data point on charting Doug’s coping mechanisms to feeling like A Person. And getting super uplifting “be confident in yourself” advice from a lady who’s about to spend a bunch of time eroding down Doug’s self esteem is kinda ironic, but I dig it hard. It’s totally the advice Doug needed to hear after losing his job when he followed his heart.
nothin like back alley stitches
wailing and hollering!!! so true kal!!!!!
Kal gives great sounding advice, but not necessarily great advice
