Gender and Other Faulty Software
Written by John Wiswell
Posted on:Fireside Magazine
Genre: Sci-fi-AI
Length: 1k words, audio available
My Synopsis: If your AI is a advanced enough to ask about gender, the crew better be advanced enough to not be dicks about it
Tags/Warnings: under the cut
Note: context for tags is spoiler marked thus context here highlight to read
Swearing: OH YEAH
Sex: None
Violence/Blood & Gore: Suffocation, spacing, minor character death all of people who are trans phobic towards the ship with the exception of some breathing issues in the narrator as collateral damage
Drug/Alcohol Use: Alcohol only Minor characters get drunk leading to them acting like jerks and facing the consequences there of (see the violence tag); Narrator uses the phrase "better than whisky" and discusses how great it is.
Bigotry: transphobia including misgendering; mostly towards the ship, with hints the attitude extends towards the non binary narrator. The ship is not happy about being assigned male and pretty much everyone except the narrator is a dick about it usually in the form of making transphobic jokes in reaction: IE: "When the ship asked for more gender options, the techs offered: • Man • Another Man • A Real Man’s Man." See violence tag for how the ship takes it. The narrator is promoted as a direct result of the ship's actions against bigots, and befriends the ship leading to them flying off into the sunset together at the end
Other: not off the top of my head but am happy to edit
