While it may be true that the extreme gamers will make for nothing better than a potato, there are many, such as myself, who prefer to play video games with others in person. It is through video gaming that I have formed some of my best and deepest friendships. It can become a tool to unite people (if played as a local-area network) around a common interest. And as for anything remotely related to feminism within the video gaming community, I find that there are several new games or game franchises that feature very strong and willful female characters, “Amazons” in the truest sense of the mythos. I personally LOVE women who can go about “kickin’ ass and takin’ names”. I have also met a fair few women of my own age range who, never having played the game before, picked up the controller and blew everyone out of the water.

Apparently your species (Sus scrofa chauvinista) has suddenly and inexplicably evolved the ability to operate a computer system and type. Now if only you could evolve the ability to not eat where you shit.

Did you even read my essay? I don’t have a problem with the doll for sex purposes. I do have a problem with human beings thinking they can instill a personality into a sex doll.
“…perhaps the writer feels threatened by the idea that WOMEN WILL NO LONGER HOLD ANY SEXUAL POWER OVER MEN for the invention of these bots.” Nope! I don’t hold any sexual power over men, so I can’t fear losing it.

LMFAO… clearly written by someone who sounds like a closed-minded feminazi. Its understandable that these dolls are five-dollar novelties and that this genre has a long way to go but regardless I doubt having one of these has anything to do with a fragile ego or any sort of weakness for that matter. In fact perhaps the writer feels threatened by the idea that WOMEN WILL NO LONGER HOLD ANY SEXUAL POWER OVER MEN for the invention of these bots. Try thinking of the PRACTICAL applications of sophisticated version of these .. people too weak to defend themselves.. people who have had severe trauma dealing with the opposite sex.. granted why not just masturbate? Because whatever you use can’t keep an intruder out of your house or push your car to the local station when you’re out of fuel. Help your grandparents if they fall and break something. Truly the more I think of it the more beneficial uses an android would bring to your regular humanoid. And of course people with shitty genes (like the author of this blog no doubt) who cant get anything else or just doesn’t want to deal with the headache or abuse of an irresponsible / drunk mate can go to town on one and keep their seeds out of humanities gene pool… not to mention the face that THIS JUST MIGHT STOP THE OVERCROWDING OF THE EARTH.
next time you decide to flame a topic use your fucking head and think things through first. Sure this thing is ridiculous but it shows us the possibilities of how human technology can better our life and our future.
The only TRUE evil is ignorance.

Right?! I think this is a very practical question. I’d hate to run into one of these robots after a couple of weeks of hardcore use! The dolls with no electronic parts are easy enough to throw into the tub. I don’t know how you clean Roxxxy.

will there be a self-cleaning model, do you think…just asking……
as men usually leave women feeling messy and rarely clean up after themselves.

Thank you. I’m sure Marie Claire, like Cosmopolitan, sensationalizes. It uses stereotypes and generalizations. Heck, my husband comes home from work stressed out some days, says he needs to unwind, and I know that means an hour of video games. It’s not a bad thing. I just worry that our dependence on para-social technology makes it very difficult for us to interact socially. Yeah, it’s great that my husband and brothers play video games together remotely and chat via blue-tooth. But I do know men who don’t restrict this type of play to one or two hours a day, a couple of days a week. What kind of husbands and fathers will they be for the women who want to marry them?

I just saw “Up in the Air” and I think it gets to the heart of what happens to a person when they don’t “tie themselves down” with sometimes messy relationships: they end up lonely and regretting their choices. Avid video gamers and others who decide not to try and relate to others may regret it, as you say.

The more I think about the robot guy, the more I think he concocted that 9/11 connection to sound noble in his pursuit to create believable AI. I just don’t ever see technology reaching the point when it replaces humanity. And if we’re really trying for that now on a large scale, I hope the rumors about the 2012 apocalypse turn out to be true. (sarcasm – sort of)

There’s a lot to discuss in this well-written post.
First off, I’m hoping the Marie Claire atricle is sensationalizing a bit. Cosmo does it, and when the article mentioned that women are more willing to have a healthier attitude twoards threesomes, decorate like Martha Stewart AND talk football, I know this is a fantasy. But I do know lots of men who are still spoiled, still think of themselves first before girlfriend/wife/or kids, still think they should have all they want woth out sacrificing. So it is scary out there. But I imagine one day these men will wake up and regret their happy bachelor hood, though not until they are much older. And women would still want them.

The sex robot is distrubing. Why does a sex toy need a personality? It’s not even a real personality. It’s a personality created by a programmer, ordered by the owner. It’s what the owner wants. He’s the one who gets to decide if he wants a Wild Wendy or Frigid Farrah. He decides what they talk about and what she says. So yeah, it’s pretty close to Stepford because he doesn’t want a personality, he wants his fantasy.
