    Except I literally mean childlike. He talked like he was a preschooler. It was super stupid.

    And I looked it up later last night since I have not watched that shit since the 90s and it turns out actually no, he’s not an android, he’s part of a genetically engineered species of subhuman slave that most people seem totally cool with in 2032 and some people are bigoted towards them. Also, he looked like he was in his 30s, which means that the ‘breed genetic slaves that talk like preschoolers’ program should have started around the time the show was being made. Weird that no one noticed.

    Also also, the bigoted term for them is GELF, which is amusing if you know Red Dwarf. Especially since it’s for the same reason.
