The sexy robot ladies are back! Not so much in real life, where they are still more scary than sexy, but in the fervid imagination of dudes who hate real ladies. Like Eric here, on The Spearhead:
When I first came to the MRM, there was a story in the news about a Japanese robotics engineer who had made a female android. It really wasn’t much more than a fairly realistic-looking doll; although there was quite a bit of discussion at the time for the potential to improve on the design. The main thing was that it’s invention caused a fury from the feminists. Even at that early stage in my MRA days, I could see the reason: for the first time women were looking the very real possibility that they could become expendable.
Well, “expendable” only if you view women as little more than support systems for their vaginas.
Personally, I’m more into foreign girls than virtual sex. But the same principle applies: as long as there are alternatives to feminists, the feminists are expendable. They don’t have the power to convert every woman on the planet; and even if they could they can’t stop men from building robots.
Please, build those robots, and lock yourselves away with them forever, and leave the rest of us alone.
Elsewhere in the same thread on The Spearhead we get some examples of why it’s a problem when Men Who Really Should Be Going Their Own way … don’t. A fellow calling himself Rmaxd apparently suggested that men who feel themselves to have been mistreated by the courts should: “Lynch a judge as you would any traitor or dictator.”
His comment was deleted, and heavily criticized — apparently for not being circumspect enough in his threatening language. After all, our dear friend JeremiahMRA got mostly upvotes on The Spearhead for a similarly threatening remark just the other day. And elsewhere in the very same thread as Rmaxd’s now-deleted comment we find a fellow called freebird suggesting that men who have allegedly suffered because of women should
share this pain with those inflicting it.
cue up “blood on the plow”
Meanwhile, again in the same thread, a commenter called walking in hell brings up the example of Thomas Ball, the MRA who self-immolated on the steps of a Keene, New Hampshire courthouse a year ago in hopes that his dramatic death would inspire other men to (quite literally) burn down police stations and courthouses using Molotov cocktails. (You can read Ball’s manifesto, complete with its call for MRA terrorism though without the specific instructions on how to make effective Molotov cocktails, on A Voice for Men, in its “activism” section; search the page for “burn” to go directly to his advocacy of terrorism.) Walking in hell also thinks family court judges should be “punished” for their alleged “crimes,” by which he means denying some fathers visitation.
[R]esponsibility for such heinous crimes against children can behold an individual to a special kind of punishment.
We see the nervous squirming by judges in the Australia case marked by the judge issuing an apology. We also see nervous squirming in the UK with the evildoers trying to issue fake political gestures to angry people.
The evildoers must smell something besides fire and brimstone. The sooner they get to the fire and brimstone, the better off children and fathers will be.
Apparently this vaguely threatening language was vague enough to pass muster on The Spearhead; this comment got more than a dozen upvotes.
The sooner you fuckers build those sexbots you like to talk about so much, the better for all of us.
Now I’m worried that my depression (mental illness!) will lead me to masturbate in the street with a dildo and rape dead female robot kittens.
… Well it gets you out of bed, right?
(Joke intended in a spirit of sympathy not mockery, apologies if that doesn’t come across on Intarwebs.)
🙂 Anti depressant are currently working well to that effect.
But then it would me in prison, where I’m not unlikely to be assaulted. Question: is hypothetical pervert* me bad enough (Think of the children!) to make Ruby laugh?
*no offense intended to perverts
The psychiatry defines mental illness as something that causes the person to suffer and/or be unable to function in society. If you’re really odd but happy, can take care of yourself and not harm others, then you’re not mentally ill.
Btw Chobits; I’ve just seen a little bit of it, but it seems like a pedophile fantasy to me. She sort of LOOKS like a teenager but she behaves like a fucking toddler. And she’s supposed to be a sex object. Creepy.
BRAVE WAS THE BEST
THAT IS ALL
I cannot wait to see it. Well, I can, but I don’t wanna.
@Psych major here — it’s only a disorder if it either causes distress, or harms someone — fetishes are only a disorder if they cause distress, or are acted on with an unwilling partner (or acted on at all in the case of pedophilia, since there’s no possibility of a consenting partner there). In other words, if they’re not distressed by liking dolls, and not forcing unwilling people to watch their doll sex, then it isn’t a disorder.
Thankyou, you didn’t mean to but you’ve inadvertently proven my argument.
I’ll break it down for the dummies.
a. you tell him he isn’t a pervert
b. you forget to tell him you have put caveats on his “non pervert status” as follows:
He isn’t a pervert (1) as long as he keeps his doll in his house or (2) he can take it out of the house but he must NOT kiss it etc while in public. He should just endure being stared at for others amusement/curiosity.
c. he takes his doll out of the house on a date, talks to it in public, pats its hand and gives it a kiss, thereby forcing unwilling people to witness acts that they do not wish to; did not expect to.
Thus resulting in potential CONFLICT and definitely meeting the criteria for distressing others.
Btw, mental illness is more commonally thought of as an abnormality or range of behaviours whose abnormability leads to dysfunction in work, relationships and emotional regulartion/general wellbeing. It’s not simply the harm it causes to him or herself or others, it’s the fact that it adversely impacts on their ability to form or maintain relationships and employment/general wellbeing.
As such a fuck doll is actually a tool that prevents forming/maintaining relationships. Using one is a maladaptive strategy, so anyone who supports a person using one, is either ignorant, stupid or evil. Take your pick.
16 years of mental health education and employment under my belt. Thanks for playing.
i hope youre not this unhinged and judgey with your patient then, cause that would make you straight up the worst counselor ever
have you calmed down yet, kid? i hope youve calmed down…
I think our buddy Fallacy needs some ice cream, and possibly a hug. He seems awfully upset.
any counsellor who isn’t “judgey” is a moron.
You have to be able to judge when a person is actually sabotaging their own happiness and just looking for confirmation that they aren’t. Giving it to them would obviously be false and not in their interests.
Sounds like you need to realise that being tolerant of everything is a misnomer.
You can certainly be “politically” and legally correct, but that doesn’t mean you are actually correct.
PS if I ever do have a “rage”, don’t worry, I can prescribe myself the meds I’ll need to calm down.
lololol you people certainly want me to be a troll don’t you.
Here’s an idea. Rather than trying to coerce me into being one, so you can experience some entertainment and distraction from your otherwise boring lives, why don’t you actually consider doing something productive and worthwhile.
“i hope youre not this unhinged and judgey with your patient then, cause that would make you straight up the worst counselor ever”
Nawh, just clearly full of shit, since by the following made up standard picking your damned nose could be a mental disorder.
See? So if seeing someone picking their nose is forcing you to witness things you don’t want to, it must be a mental disorder!
Hey psych prof? You forget how that conflict part comes with caveats about social norms not being the only factor, eg why homosexuality isn’t considered a disorder anymore. So thanks for playing!
“Btw, mental illness is more commonally thought of as an abnormality or range of behaviours whose abnormability leads to dysfunction in work, relationships and emotional regulartion/general wellbeing.”
Yeah meaning it could become a disorder, not that it inherently is a disorder. As I said before, if you want to debate what the ethics of having a sexbot should be, please, have fun, just declaring it wrong because it’s disordered because it could cause conflict because people could be upset? Yeah people could be upset by two men holding hands too, that’s their problem (and if you’re really involved in psych at all, you fucking know that).
And let’s do some math — assuming 18 at the start of college, 4 years undergrad and 4 years graduate, plus 16 years teaching/working…that’d make you at least 42 — ever think maybe you’re just behind on how fast technology is progressing? (And maybe just a bit burnt out if you actually treat your patients like this? Seriously, take a nice vacation, for eveyone’s sake)
yeah… that sounds like some weird creepy shit. maybe you should work on your own happiness instead of trying to quantify other peoples?
that… is not what that word means, but not knowing what words mean is i guess least of your problems, angry guy
oh, nevermind that shit i said before. holy fucking lol you are not in any position be calling other people unhealthy, champ. get help immediately, from someone who is less angry and unhinged than you are.
That last sentence is hilarious. Lecturing others about ethics while boasting about prescribing yourself meds, which would be a breach of your own professional code of behavior? Tsk tsk.
(Not that I believe for a second that this person is a mental health professional, but in theory.)
Make that at least 40, I forgot to subtract for the 1,000 clinic hours to become licensed in the first place. In any case, ever consider you’re making the exact same arguments as to why homosexuality was once considered a mental illness?
you mean like getting really worked up and indignant about sex robots in the comment section of a comedy blog?
“PS if I ever do have a “rage”, don’t worry, I can prescribe myself the meds I’ll need to calm down.”
Holy ethics violations batman!
Please take a vacation, like, now.
@ argenti
In most states psychologists can’t prescribe meds, only psychiatrists can, so add a couple more years to your estimate.
Cassandra — yeah I was still typing that out when that comment about self-prescribing appeared. Though being a psychiatrist, with an MD and little actual psych training, could explain the inability to understand that sometimes other people being upset is their own damned problem.
(Note that trollboy doesn’t seem to know the difference between a “counsellor”, ie a psychologist of some kind, and a psychiatrist. No psychiatrist would ever describe themselves as a “counsellor”. Not exactly lending a lot of credibility to his claim to work in the mental health field, there. Is this he who shall not be named again?)
Kinda like them gays right? Poor hetero people will be forced to see them kissing and holding hands.
Fah Lo Suee —
Please grab your DSM, assuming it’s IV-TR (and paperback, idk if the page numbers match the hardcover, but does anyone actually pay for the hardcover version?!) — flip to page 566, Paraphilias —
In other words, you’re unlikely to ever have the owner of a sexbot as a client if being stared at on the bus doesn’t bother them — much like gays, lesbians, etc may have to deal with a certain amount of staring and the appropriate diagnosis would be an anxiety disorder. You really sound a lot like the people who thinks GLB people should not engage in any public displays of affection, and trans* people should not try to pass if they can’t pass well, for their own safety. Which, you should know, is fucking bullshit (in clinical terms that’d be more like “which is their problem, so let’s focus on your anxiety”).
“Is this he who shall not be named again?”
Considering the level of barely plausible but sex obsessed comments? Could be. (I’m liking Mr. Al as a nickname btw, gets the point across while, hopefully, not going into mod)
Argenti beat me to it with the homosexuality argument. You are also making a lot of positive claims with no backing. You have yet to prove that a romantic relationship with another human being is a positive for everyone, and that a lack of a romantic relationship is a negative for everyone. You also have yet to prove that your views on normality are not culturally bound and constitute an objective human universality
The measure of what people can do in public isn’t the level of perversion.
People can kiss in public. People can hug in public. People cannot masturbate in public. People cannot have sex in public. No matter how normal and commonplace the kind of sex they want to have is, they’re not allowed to have it in public.
You’re not allowed to fuck dolls in public because you’re not allowed to fuck in public. It’s got sod all to do with the dolls.
Also: lie better. It helps if you figure out your story before you start.
You still haven’t told me how kinky I can get before I’m an OMGPERVERT who might go digging up corpses and masturbating on the bus. Can I pull hair? What about biting? Is playing with knives okay?
