Brooks Landon describes the film as typical of the cyberpunk genre, because it does not treat RoboCop as better or worse than average humans, just different, and asks the audience to consider him as a new lifeform. Similarly, the film does not treat this technological advance as necessarily negative, just an inevitable result of a progression that will change our lives and our understanding of what it means to be human. In this way, the RoboCop character is the embodiment of the struggle of humanity in giving itself over to technology. The central cast are not given romantic interests or overt sexual desires. Paul Sammon described the scene of RoboCop shooting bottles of baby food as a symbol of the relationship he and Lewis can never have. Taylor concurred, but believed the confrontation between Morton and Jones in the OCP bathroom was sexualized.
