Ross Douthat believes in fairies (not a joke, I think it was his discussion with Ezra Klein on psychedelics where this came up). His other beliefs should be given just as much weight and respect as that one is due.

If that is what they’re saying, it’s even kind of topical; in both Trump admins there has been lot of speculation that he hires ppl based on aesthetics. Mad dog mattis, fox personalities that look like a movie casting of a “macho defense guy,” etc. Regardless, thank you for pointing out my misread!

You’re right, it seems they’re criticizing that Murderbot is shown as having markers of sexiness (killer cheekbones and abs) while being explicitly asexual. I think the book addresses this? As, this bot model was designed to inspire confidence and ease in the user. So..handsome white guy checks out
