IDK, I understand why so many people were moved by that short film, but I'm surprised that so many people think that it's odd that they were so moved. I mean, it's easy to evoke a reaction out of an audience by having a young, doe-eyed woman stare directly into the camera and plead for her life. It's odd not to feel for a person staring directly at you, I don't care if it's only for seven minutes.

Yeah, this.
Also, the premise - "you are flawed, therefore you have no worth" and seeing how she's obviously sentient and wants to live - is easy to milk for feelings.

Except she's not a woman. If your fridge stopped working and you had to replace it, would you be so moved if it begged for its life? The woman in the video is just a machine, so it should be odd to feel anything for her, no matter how she looks.

That's... that's not how humans work. Humans can and do anthropomorphize and empathize with anything from animals to toys to computers to volleyballs, let alone something that actually looks and sounds a lot like a a human being.

And considering that I frequently feel like shit for killing flies, yeah, I'd probably be kind of moved if it begged for its life.
