Polygon with a totally Polygon take on Alexander Skarsgard being cast as SecUnit in the Apple TV+ adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries. 

All of which is basically accurate to Wells’ multi-award-winning series of novellas and novels, which started in 2017 with All Systems Red. Anticipation for the Murderbot TV series has been a mixed bag for fans of the book series since Skarsgård was announced. Though the protagonist (technically called “SecUnit,” though it wryly thinks of itself as “Murderbot”) has biologically human parts, it stridently resists gender labels and gendered descriptions. The books, narrated by Murderbot, never describe its body with gender or sexual indications of any kind. Hiring a cis male actor to play Murderbot doesn’t make it impossible to be accurate to that aspect of the books, but it certainly leaves the question of accuracy to that aspect wide open in a way that, say, hiring a nonbinary actor wouldn’t have.

Non-binary actor?

Even non-binary people HAVE A FUCKING BINARY BODY TYPE you retarded Muppet. Male or female. There is no in-between body type. 

Why can't these fuckwits separate their gender fantasies from biological reality. 

For the record, when I read Murderbot, I picture a more feminine body and voice. But that's what's great about reading, I get to picture my own version.
