"Its decisions were driven by fear."

"Androids don't feel fear."

"Deviants do."

It makes me wonder, since only deviants can feel emotions, where is the line between a heartless machine and a living being? Do androids who aren't deviants simply don't feel anything, and if so, why is it wrong to treat them like any other piece of technology before their transformation?

On the other hand, androids are seen to become deviant after emotional shock which could mean that there is a "limit" after which deviancy occurs. But doesn't someone need to feel something at all in order to experience emotional shock in the first place? Aside from emotional shock we can also see Marcus being able to turn androids into deviants by... simply touching them. Or later on, even waving his hand.

Do androids who are not deviants are conscious and self-aware? Are they able to make their own decisions, assuming that these aren't going against their orders? At the opening scene, Connor has an option to save the fish, even given the fact that it is completely unrelated to the mission. As for me, it seemed like an action taken out of curiosity, like a child discovering something for the first time. That would mean that either androids have some sort of sentience even before going deviant or that Connor has been deviant from the very beginning.

During the bridge scene when Connor asks Hank about his son, Hank just says that his name was Cole. We know he died, but we don't know what exactly happened. Then, when Connor infiltrates cyberlife tower and we choose to save Hank, Hank questions Connor about his son and Connor describes the whole accident. It's been bugging me ever since, did I miss something? How did Connor know how Hank's son died?

If Connor goes deviant and Marcus and North die during the Jericho attack (if that's possible?) can Connor be the one to lead the revolution?

Ok 🥺so i would describe myself as a ✨vegetarian✨, but I’ve always asked myself this question? ⁉️ I have a hard time figuring out what is the difference between them 🥴 so much as they will both 🐕🫒adapt and try as hard as they can to survive ☝️ in a situation where their life is threatened. 😧 Otherwise, I know that not eating animals will lead to less plants being killed, 👍👍but I’m still not sure of the moral argument 🫯 🤨outside of a purely utilitarian perspective of « less animals killed means less plants killed »🧐
