EX-TRA-PO-LATE! Moral philosophy and the Daleks
This article embraces the ableist tropes behind the daleks and other such scifi monsters so wholeheartedly that it wouldn't take much to turn it into satire.
EX-TRA-PO-LATE! Moral philosophy and the Daleks

Inside their metal shells, they have oversized brains representing the dominance of scientific reason, at the expense of shrivelled bodies.
Shriveled bodies! How much more evil could they get? A most terrifying fate indeed.
