Where's the bias coming from? When I make a post I'm thinking I'm a blank slate each time. It seems like there's a bias here.

That's a really strange question. That's akin to asking a reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes why they watched a kids movie. Anyway, I used to watch this after school when I was a kid. It came on right before "Out of this World" where the girl talks to her dad who is an alien through a diamond-like vase that sits on her nightstand. It's a family sitcom, in the same vein as Family Matters, Growing Pains, Family Ties, Step by Step, etc.

It's basically M3gan. In the pilot, the main character works at a robotics factory and creates an advanced android with synthetic skin that looks human much to the boss's dismay.

Oh no silly, I was watching the first season of the series anyway and it happened to just be there while I was on Reddit anyway. Why's that actually important though?
I didn't realise that asking if a particular sexual joke directed at a minor was inappropriate sparked a cognitive bias in people. To me, it's like asking "is this bush look a different than the other 3 bushes?"
Would you have responded the same way if I said, "Is this scene really bad acting in Will and Grace?"
I don't see how or why this is a thing to get defensive over. I don't know where this is coming from, because I don't share your life experiences. To me, it's an objective and literal question. "Is this a weird joke, yes or no?"
