Just realised that my discomfort with a lot of "are robots human?" narratives in western SF stems from how so many of said robots are basically expys for straight white dudes who feel simultaneously superior and oppressed.

What do you think about the Battlestar Galactica reboot, in this context? It's at least partially about the religiously and historically driven clash between polytheist humans and monotheist robots.

I never saw past the first season, so I can’t really comment; I do recall that the female cylons tended to be sexualised and/or brutalised though, at least early on.
