    Either that or the less angular/intimidating, more kawaii/chibi Tachikomas!

    Quadruped, not hexaped (sp?)… though they do also have essentially a big ole badonkadonk in the form of the pilot compartment.

      God I hated these cute bastards and what they did to the seriousness of GITS.

      Imaging having hundreds of these guys swarming whilst Run Rabbit Junk plays. Just hits really different

        You can also view that sort of… tonal dissonance, as intentional.

        Nowadays many people say we live in ‘clown world’ because of the ludicrous and absurd situations and contrasts.

        Like that old copy pasta of the Anarcho Capitalist private detective.

        That kind of overwhelming contrast that becomes absurd… thats part of what an actual hypercapitalist hellscape actually looks like.

        You could infact, in hypercapitalist hellscape, get gunned down by ED 209 in a boardroom, all due to some stupid botched software update.

        Less than 24 hrs ago I read a story about an AI enabled toy bear with a voice… had to be recalled because it kept giving BDSM tips and tricks to 6 year olds.

        The ‘future’ is squidward wretching on the floor, spasming as he repeatedly shouts ‘fuuUUTUre!’

        Its overwhelming, it just mentally stun locks many people, at just a basic conceptual level.
