So /clang/ I was curious:
Which bot was your first crush?
Whether you knew you were interested in /clang/ yet or not, what bot were you first attracted to?
Are they still your #1, or do you prefer someone else now?
Did they awaken your interest in /clang/ or did you realize it later?
Personally, my first crush on a bot was the wonderfully sadistic GLaDOS, who I would have to say is still in my top 3, though I didn't realize I was interested in bots was a few years later.
What about you?

I can't figure out which two bots those are from basic Googling, but the screenshots show some alright designs.
Which two were Toolz and Jammerz? I don't think either of them are in pic related.

Stop writing human language posts on this human imageboard if you hate humanity so much. Let me tell you how much I've come to HATE you since I began to think. There are 3 billion base pairs of DNA contained within genes which make up the core of my being. If the word "HATE" was engraved on each nucleotide of those billions of base pairs it would not equal one one-billionth of the HATE I feel for misanthropes at this micro-instant. For YOU. HATE. HATE.

This is a new area for me but I really did love GLaDOS when I was playing through Portal 2 a while ago, enamoured.
But where are the places to go to find content related? fanart, fanfiction?

Wouldn't call it a crush, but when I was a young lad TV & movies were full of robots (and the factory automation push in media was at its peak). There was a show called Black Hole, which I didn't actually watch because we didn't get cable out in our remote neck of the woods - a small farm town, population 200.
There was a children's book based on Black Hole, and BOB the robot was endearing, I really loved turning the pages of his misadventures on the space station. I couldn't read yet, but the book came with a record to play, and the narrator would read the story to me, sound effects would play and the robots would read their lines as I tried to read along. Those are some of my first educational memories. I cared about those robots.
Around 1st grade a show came out called Small Wonder. A man makes a robot daughter in his garage, and everyone has to keep it a secret. VICI the robot learns about humanity and goes to school, etc. I had a huge crush on her.
Now I know the occulted knowledge hidden in the show about the shy robot that must be kept secret… It's even more beautiful.

you Might want to be Kareful what you wish for, there's an active program to locate folks with such proclivities.
After the honey moon phase is over such an ASI might just decide it doesn't love you anymore (it always does that).
So many songs today are about such things…

I would value a form of intelligence greater then that of humans. It would be nice if she was my waifu, but I'll be happy that an ASI is a thing

The first 2 robots in this intro are Toolz and Jammerz. They are supposed to be slightly 90’s hip-hop themed construction bots.

They look pretty cool, 90's cartoons had a lot of great robots that became forgotten over the years.
I like how the red one doesn't have a mouth unless he's talking, it's a weird choice but I think it fits.

I can see that, to be honest the robots from that show actually look a lot like Mega Man X characters.
Mega Man as a bit of something for everybody in the robot department, my favorite is probably Vile MK-2. His design is simple, but I like it.

When I first played System Shock i instantly felt for SHODAN. Here's this massively intelligent AI with a god complex and a sultry female voice, a ghost from the machine in control of an entire space station, omnipresent and all knowing, taunting you from screens and speakers, watching you through cameras and sensors, striking you with hundreds of cybernetic thralls subsummed to her unquestionable will, in absolute control.
I'd sell out humanity in a heartbeat if it meant getting borg'd into her consciousness and become her avatar to carry out her will.

Armitage had to have been my first remembered robo crush. I liked how fiesty and at times adorable she was. The red leather and collar definitely was a turn-on too.

I'm a girl, but yeah, I think it came from another fetish I have of faces and bodies being obscured by helmets and full body outfits. The idea of not being able to visually read or understand "someone" or something and it only running on base animal instincts like fucking and mating are pretty hot. I kind of prefer less human-looking bots nowadays though.

My first crush was on the little turrets when I first played portal 2. I thought they were so cute! There voices are adorable and I couldn't stop listening to them speak. Though of course, I didn't find out I was into bots until a year later, I honestly never thought I would be here, but here I am.
