      The odds of action against the team and of the Sentient Life Rights Bill passing both skyrocket.



    Quote:
    True enough, but is hiding behind the scenes doing basically most of the same jobs she would do as a Legion member any better from a public relations standpoint? Sounds to me she's just trying to avoid having to face her critics rather than actually help her teammates, her "people", or her cause.


As a field team member Hallie would also have to leave the mansion on auto to venture into some situations. How many times has Hallie helped with some vital thing by being around in the Mansion during a mission?

      Yes, the Legion may be able to weather the attacks, but is it heroic to jeopardize the rights of thousands of robosapiens in order for Hallie to get what she wants?



    Quote:
    If the "Sentient Rights" movement is truly as unified as those previous minorities they would seek to emulate, one would think they would welcome representation on Earth's premiere superhero team, instead of just having her hide in a mainframe doing scut work for them.


Hallie is seen as an Uncle Tom by some robots; and of course she's an AI hologram not a robot herself, so some robots would discruminate against her too.


    Quote:
    In the 1950s, when African Americans were struggling for their civil rights in the South, they were willing to send their children to be blasted by fire hoses and attacked by police dogs because they knew their cause were just, and that the only way to get the attention their plight deserved was to risk physical harm to the people they loved. What's Hallie willing to risk?*



    Quote:
    *As you might have guessed, those are the questions Mr. Epitome would have asked Hallie if he weren't lost in the Parodyverse somewhere. \:\)


He's got a loud voice.
