Ok this is for the few who maybe have never heard about mr robot! ^_^ its a show about programmer/hacker elliot alderson (rami) who wants to change the world and challenge the power of the top 1%. It's smart, its clever, its very exciting to watch, and rami's voiceover is very soothing. A HUGE warning because this is my blog and yall know me - as good as this show is it also exhibits sexism and misogyny typical of computer scientists in the 2010's - its why it took me so long to finally watch the show. When you're in the middle of all that crap and experiencing asshole male programmers in real time the last thing you want to do is watch TV shows about them.

@s-k-y-w-a-l-k-e-r is like the best mr robot gif artist, she captures all those artistic angles beautifully AND fixes the lighting - its magic.

#Qwerty deserves a bigger fishbowl #The story behind the tag #Is that Qwerty is Elliot's pet fish #And this whole show is about trying to end the corruption of the billionaire class right?#And yet elliot keeps his pet fish in this crappy little fishbowl that is NOT a good regulation sized tank #So like here we are supposed to believe he is doing all this to change the lives of the downtrodden and people who feel helpless #Against corporations #And yet the tiny helpless fish living in his appartment is not being given a healthy environment #I just thought it was very ironic and worth pointing out :(#It was also one of the failings of the show - i think it TRIES to critique elliots sexism and hatred of society #just like i think its intentional that elliot doesnt take care of his fish properly #But it never really condemns him for it or show him changing in a real way #Even in the fourth season elliot STILL treats women like they are of lesser regard (except his sister)#He fucking drugs a girl who is an addict and its just waved off like he's still this innocent cute sweetheart with big rami malek eyes LOL
