Opposite for me. I despise Blade Runner for all the missed opportunities and themes from Androids that never made it to the screen. I recently rewatched the movie too make sure that my 20-YO self wasn't wrong - he was right...
Either the word is offensive, or it isn't. POC don't get a pass from me - if I hear that word in a song, I hit skip or change the station. It is offensive no matter who says it.
Turned away with a torpedo?
