Was watching the Northernlion Detroit: Become Human stream/play-through. And he remarked on something that people often avoid confronting.

This future world where androids exist, all the androids have one very specific body type. Everyone is thin in a very specific way.

Assuming we continue to push towards this future, if we're wanting true simulation. Why wouldn't we design/build androids to appear like humans actually appear?

@sonicbooming

It's a separate question as to whether we SHOULD design androids to appear human like. I understand the whole uncanny valley comes into play.

But if we've gone all in on having them appear life-like, then there should be more diversity of body shape, gender, representation. Not just this idealized thing model that we see so often in these futures.
