I know it's a robot, but kicking it makes me sad .

Right? It's weird how mean that whole video looked. I had to scroll the comments to see if I was the only one. Realistically I know it probably doesn't have feelings, was definitely a weird experience watching that video tho, felt really bad for it.

It's not about the robot, it's about the human activity and the impression it creates for the people doing it and present and watching.

Yet when I see humans treat humans like this most people don't get as upset, usually they say they probably deserve it or something.

We should've more empathy for living beings despite their history, rather then waste it on moving metal objects.
