This can’t be a real Transformers episode. Why would the Transformer care about that?
Transformers have always never had genders at all because they are robots, no reproduction. All transformers are then nonbinary because they are genderless robots.
Why is this difficult?

How exactly does a non-binary robot brainwash anybody? At what part does Nightshade tell the kids to drink the Kool-Aid? Seems like they’re just looking for acceptance and friends.

The most disturbing thing about this clip isn’t the insane part about pronouns.
The worst part is they imply that the world is evil and you can only trust non-binary people. This is the most sinister message you can send to a child. Absolutely revolting.— CK (@pk13510) May 13, 2023
