    i’m not a woman but something tells me that they wouldn’t want to be with a person who even remotely considers the idea of owning a robotic sex-slave.

      Am a woman - can confirm. It’s such a self own it’s laughable. They didn’t want a partner in the true sense to begin with.

          Do you talk about your worries and fears to the fleshlight beside your bed? Do you try and plan a future with the magazine you’ve made sticky?

          All to say I don’t care what gets your jollies off (legally of course) but there’s a huge difference between self pleasure and building a life with another human being.

          Maybe you’ll experience it some day.

            You don’t know what people with do with their bots. You’re just looking for somebody to hate.

              It is more like that those people can’t get a real women because a woman is allowed to have a standard nowadays so they try to save face with “I didn’t wanted a real women to begin with. Bots are better anyway. I’m not lonely, you are lonely”.

                those people can’t get a real women because a woman is allowed to have a standard nowadays

                That is not even close to the only reason, nor even the primary reason, that single men are single. It’s just a sexist generalization.

                As a ‘bonus’, it also prejudicially implies that only bad people are lonely, which in turn villainizes socially-awkward men and other men who have trouble finding love through no fault of their own, and contributes toward the radicalization of these men, making them more vulnerable to the Tates etc. of the world.

                So please, don’t do that. This is literally the male version of telling a woman she’s ‘ruined’ because she’s no longer a virgin.

          What a stupid question. Do you think people use sex toys as a replacement for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences or is this a self-tell that you think relationships are nothing more than sex?

            Are you going to force people who own bots to use them for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences, or does your crystal ball tell you this will happen?

              I mean that seems hugely implied by the pictures in the above post no?

              Edit: oh you said forced. No? But I don’t see how that’s relevant. Why would you ask “Do you have sex toys?” In response to that comment?

                I think the point was “I don’t assume you are in love with your dildo, and so you shouldn’t assume consumers of sex robots are, or desire to be, in love with their sex robots.”

                The picture in OP isn’t really a counterargument, as it’s arguably an appeal to one specific slice of the nascent sex-robot customer base.

                I have to admit, while sex-robot is not a thing on my want list, if it were I’d tend to see it as a super fancy sex toy, not as a companion. (Though again I recognize that for some it probably would be.)

      … Can it do domestic labor or just sex? I am a woman and frankly I’d be interested in a robot wife… I’ve got my husband for sex but we’re tired of cooking dinner and cleaning the house. We’d both like a wife.

      Most of those men were never that desirable on a personality level anyway.

      They think of women in transactional terms, where they only do what’s necessary to get laid.

      I think, especially the incel types almost live in an RPG. Women are just NPCs, you do some quests for them, fetch her father’s sword from the orc cave, hit the right speech options and if you gathered enough reputation, you get the ethereal pussy of power that gives +5 on mana.

      Switching directly to robots does make sense in that world.

        the thing i just cannot wrap my head around with these people is what the hell they’re after, they claim they don’t like women and yet they’re clearly thirsting after them.

        best i can guess is that they’re just profoundly mentally unhealthy and unable to realize that if they want a partner they should just… be desirable, which easy to get started with by learning how to cook and being nice to people.

          They see women as accessories, like a tie or jacket, and fundamentally less valuable than themselves.

          I think this is partly driven by a mixture of misogyny and low self-esteem. A woman on equal footing might threaten their very fragile self worth.

          So being a normal person would mean partial submission to a woman (because that’s just part of being in a relationship, you’re not always on top), but at the same time they feel the societal need for a woman, because only having sex makes them true men.

          And it’s also the typical self-victimization of fascist Ideologies. Nazis are victims of the Jews, current fascists are victims of immigrants or Muslims, incels are victims of Chad Thundercock.

            It’s also driven by isolation. There’s a reason there are so many incels out in the sticks. These guys have never been popular, so they locked themselves away, in a place where you already have to work to meet people. They basically never socially mature, and get all their human interaction on 4chan

      I mean, they would most likely also make a male version.

      And then we can all join in on the fun with both. Might even be able to do the more advanced Kama Sutra stances that are normally reserved for orgies.

      You can bet it will be someones kink.

        Robot wives are pretty much exactly what the whole torso dildo is. Only, someone who has the whole torso dildo isn’t taking it out to dinner and dancing and showing it off like it’s trophy.

          That’s beyond comprehension. No sane person is taking their dildo out for dinner or to a friends house to watch a movie. They’d have to be android quality.

          They have dolls for that. And people have been. There’s documentaries and videos all about it already.

            I should watch one of those. I know they exist but I don’t see those people being in a good space mentally. I’m being a bit loose with the definition of sane, ie no sane person would do that. There’s at least one feature film covering this topic too.

          No no it’s like a human body without any limbs.

          I guess now that I think about it the limbs would be flaily and weird. I don’t think there is a head either, just the torso.

          If you’re not familiar with this there are dildo conventions that showcase all the latest and greatest.
