A malfunction in terms of Fembot related ASFR is when a fembot suddenly fails to function properly.

A '''malfunction''' is a common trope in ASFR fiction. A malfunction is an event when a fembot suddenly fails to function properly, because of conception flaws, environmentally-caused damages or deliberate sabotage. This event can range from small software glitches to catastrophic failures resulting in the permanent disactivation of said fembot.


In some extreme cases, instead of total failure or shut down, a malfunction can actually cause the fembot to cause harm to themselves or to others.
A '''malfunction''' is commonly visually represented by sparks flying out of the unit's body, error messages ([[Monotone voice|verbal]] or textual in [[robo-vision]]/[[Access panel|panels]]), loss of motor control leading to jerky and spasmic [[Robotic motion|movement]], and even explosions.

A malfunction is an event when a fembot suddenly fails to function properly, because of conception flaws, environmentally-caused damages or deliberate sabotage. This event can range from small software glitches to catastrophic failures resulting in the permanent disactivation of said fembot.

A malfunction is commonly visually represented by sparks flying out of the unit's body, error messages (verbal or textual in robo-vision/panels), loss of motor control leading to jerky and spasmic movement, and even explosions. It can also lead a fembot, in the case of a software malfunction, to accidentaly or purposely hurt itself or other peoples.
