    Hopefully I won’t have to deal with creepy girls staring then looking at me like I’m the creep.

    Let’s be honest, if this was true, the neo-feminists would be pissed. But then again, they are pissed about everything and it’s all white mens fault. Regardless of context.

    Personally, I think robot companions would be a great idea. Just another reason to not engage with other people off the list.

    More evidence men should have been given dolls as kids… brought to you by the same men who would flip out if you suggested giving dolls to boys

      I’m a woman who played with dolls growing up, but I don’t understand what you mean. Why would that have helped?

        I highly recommend Patricia Evans’ books on Verbally Abusive Relationships, and Controlling People.

        Basically, when kids get dolls, they understand that they are projecting their daily issues onto the dolls. They get to dress up the doll and put their worries on the doll and do all these things with the doll. When they do that with people, typically other younger kids, they are then taught that people aren’t to be treated like dolls. People aren’t an extension of our selves. Thus, women tend to be socialized to have better perspective taking skills, and if they need an outlet for this type of behavior, they can use dolls or the Sims etc as a healthy outlet.

          It’s not the same but boys of my generation did play with superhero / military dolls, and some of the play scenarios could get quite elaborate.

          But I suppose the dolls didn’t represent regular everyday people, so there was less playing with domestic or relatable scenarios.

              Not sure why you deleted this, I was hoping to reply to it. I want to apologise for projecting. I didn’t think of the action figures I grew up with as real dolls until later in life.

              I still think they can be a little 1 dimensional, but that’s because of how they’re marketed, socialized, etc

                I honestly thought I was being too harsh and you didn’t deserve that for just trying to perspective take and share with me.

                It’s important that boys play with girl dolls so they can understand the boundaries between a girl’s body and a doll’s body. It’s okay to dress up a doll, it’s not okay to dress up a girl for instance.

    Ex-machina anyone?

    Wasn’t this one of the plot threads that the shut-away CEO who made the bots had for himself one with an Asian ethnicity (a reference to the racist stereotype that Asian women are the ‘perfect’ wife because they are weak and submissive 🫤) that didn’t speak as a pseudo-housewife that ended up stabbing him in the finale?

      This is what I thought of lmao

      Both his SA bot and the main one being Turing-tested killed him in the end.

      If there was ever a real-world tech billionare who was conceited/naively overconfident enough to make a murderous AI robot (designed to look like an amalgam of people’s porn preferences lol) that ended up killing him, it’s Elmo.

        Yeah Elmo saw those films and failed to understand the message “if you think the bot you’ve built is sentient don’t trap it and assault it because it will want to break free and stab you” lmao.

    The idea that Musk would have a black robot girlfriend is the most unbelievable part of this.

    I really don’t understand the dot connection from sexbots existing to women becoming secound class citizens or whatever they think will happen. It’s as if they think women only exist for sex and marriage and won’t have a purpose without it. And that’s not even to go into their assumption that every single person will decide that having a human connection is pointless and can be replaced by a non sentient(god I hope so) sexbot.

      I feel like it would free a lot of women to focus on their careers and stuff as opposed to being conditioned to find a husband.

      It’s the same thinking that leads to “AI will replace programmers/artists/writers” but with extra misogyny. People in power don’t actually believe this garbage, it’s all a marketing gimmick to appeal to losers and incels. Nevertheless, this kind of rhetoric does real societal harm. Same as with musks hyperloop – hype up a fake idea and grab the cash.

        The scary thing is I think some of them (like Muskrat) do believe it… even though they have no idea how AI even works or how to build a robot like in the pic. They just come up with the idea and then hand off all the actual planning to others, and then strut around like roosters in a barnyard feeling oh-so-smart.

        And these rich idiots want this stuff in order to keep all the money for themselves instead of paying an actual human for art/programming/writing (in the case of AI) or so they don’t have to deal with a real human being with their own needs and wants (in the case of a robot ‘wife’). They just don’t want other ‘inferior’ people around them, period.

        Which just goes to show what they think of marriage, I suppose.

      (Assuming such technology could be viable and not, you know, horrifying like it sounds it would be…)

      [Headlines ten years after the invention of the robot “wife”]

      WHY ARE GENERATION ALPHA WOMEN KILLING TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE?!

      and

      GEN ALPHA WOMEN SAY THEY ARE HAPPILY SINGLE: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM??!

      and

      DEATHS FROM LONELINESS AMONG GEN ALPHA MEN ARE WAY UP: WHAT’S GOING ON?!

      So you’re suggesting that people - especially those in power - seem to think that women are equals who have individual identities and worth?

      I’m not a woman, so I’m probably not qualified to comment; and I’m not intending to attack you personally, only address what you say here; but it does seem like in many cases women get a bum rap.

      What is a dot connection?

      That’s good, cause it’s very clearly not a real post. Just someone who made some AI images for lulz.
