What Measure Is a Non-Human?/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' has the same problems with battledroids and sometimes Clone Troopers as shown in the films, but the show went to absurdly lengths with the Geonosians from Attack of the Clones. Like in the film they get casually sliced in halves by Jedi and Clones even use Flamethrowers to set them on fire with them even screaming and running away, all of it ON SCREEN. It is never explained why they get so brutally treatment in comparison to like every other species. You see Jedi cutting off heads and arms of clone troopers in Revenge of the Sith, but nowhere they explain why they have to slice Geonosians whole body VERTICALLY.

** At least they got zombiefied in the last two episodes of the Geonosis arc, but it still is no excuse for before.

* Played sadly straight in [[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]. Although no one, not even her creator, questions the fact that Jenny is a sentient robot teenager deserving of love and respect, most episodes have her killing or pummeling non human looking robots such as the villain robot's insect-like minions. Note that the main villain herself looks like a very alluring, feminine robot who's usually allowed to get away from harm with hardly a life-threatening scratch. The fact that Jenny usually has her own body blown to smithereens is [[Played for Laughs]].

* When Buster from ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' fantasizes about himself as a superhero named Cat Saver, he encounters a villain with some... ''unconventional'' [[Mook|mooks]]. He prefaces his fight with a disclaimer to the audience: "Kids, [[Don't Try This At Home|hitting and punching people is wrong.]]" ''But that's no person! It's a giant ham!"''
