      Personality disorders are INCREDIBLY stigma-laden and even if you think their use to chop up and categorize the human race is completely accurate, the WAY THEY ARE DIAGNOSED is similarly incredibly stigma-laden

      And when this stuff filters down to the pop psychology breezy-advice-column level and it comes out blatantly gendered -- "Yeah okay so NPD basically means a bad boyfriend and BPD means a bad girlfriend" -- you should be side-eyeing it really hard

      The most important human quality is Empathy and therefor those who lack Empathy are not fully human

      I remain constantly kind of in awe that the irony of the Voight-Kampff test in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?/Blade Runner isn't even *that deep* but it's still apparently too deep for half the fans to actually get it

      Like the whole point is this ridiculous test is the most monstrous imaginable hypocrisy Hooking someone up to all these instruments and shit to measure their capacity for "empathy" in order to ruthlessly eliminate anyone who doesn't meet the threshold

      You, the human giving the test, being willing to SHOOT THEM DEAD if they don't feel bad enough about not helping some completely imaginary hypothetical turtle on its back on some completely imaginary hypothetical road

      (I think the movie kind of gives us the implication the test is just bullshit, they're lying to us about how likely a "real" human would be to pass it either, and it's just an excuse to oppress replicants like the literacy tests used to uphold Jim Crow)

      (The original Dick novel I think had a slightly deeper take This is a real distinction that the test is really searching But it's a bad, meaningless one The "empathy" the "real humans" have is just this cultural tic they've forcibly, performatively ingrained into themselves)

      (The humans on Earth, unlike the andys in space, are obsessed with Earth-that-was Their religion, Mercerism, forces them to meditate endlessly on how bad they feel about all the real animals going extinct long ago and performing contrition and "empathy")

      (It's meaningless -- none of them have ever seen a *real* turtle in their lives, the VK test questions are all taken from situations on Old Earth they have no firsthand familiarity with)

      (None of them understands in the least *why* an old human from the bad old days would make furniture from leather, or eat meat, or swat a fly They're just trained by the Mercer boxes to be shocked and horrified and disgusted at this abstract idea of harming animals as sin)

          (So they think they're genuinely *good people* just because they've been conditioned heavily by this VR construct that has no relevance to their actual lives about hypothetical ethical choices that mainly give them license to judge "bad people")

          (The relevance this might have to the present day, including to certain outsized moral conflicts over imaginary problematic romantic relationships between fictional characters in fandom communities, is left to the reader)
