If someone is asking if they are being annoying, it's because either A) they don't know because they don't understand how they are perceived by others but THEY WANT TO. B) They know they are annoying and are looking for a pass to keep going.
Either way, just say 'to be honest, yes' and take it from there. In the long run, it's the nicest thing you can do for A, and B hasn't earned the right to have their feelings protected.

Murderbot has been very clear that it does not have and does not want a gender.

Thanks for posting this. I just started a job at a huge corporation, which I am at peace with, but this is accurate for sure.

Yes me too. I also love seeing SM go from being a complete loner (remember "sigh, another day" somewhere in M&C) to having a group of followers, basically all his people that he cares for as a quirky patriarch. (yellow admiral, I believe. )

Though, I think they do evolve subtly, which is what is so great about it. You can see their core personalities are the samr, but certain things change over the time period, in their interests, the way they work with people and the way they think about their families. And to me, that is how people actually change.
