Let's be honest: people want humanoids because half the world was used to "domestic servants" (ie. slaves) (and even is, middle east, Pakistan, India, large parts of Africa) and they can't have that because colonialism "took that from them".<p>What people keep forgetting is that colonialism, and with it the large-scale disappearance of slavery, and so the disappearance of domestic servants/slaves, lasted easily into the 1990s. You don't have to be very old to remember having that (or you cheat, ie. rich middle eastern countries, and still have that in 2026, just called slightly different)
