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.
@cloudiah
Oh, no doubt
@Ozy:
”I have a question! Why are there men who spend time with women even though they don’t want to fuck them? Surely they will KEEP spending time with them even if they have sexy robot ladies to service them sexually?”
Silly Ozy, don’t you know that they’ll either be bread out of existence (because alpha males) or see the error of their ways (because red pills)?
Oh come on now ladies! We all know that your work only counts when you win enough awards like the Nobel Peace Prize or become an acclaimed Master of sculpture or painting. And you can only sit on someone elses accolades provided you have the same chromosome for X or Y.
And that doll… Well, its a little disturbing as it seems to be suffering rigor mortis.
@Shadow, That is heartwarming. 🙂
So cloudiah, that’s a ‘no’ to robot dominatrix?
‘Nyway, when sex robot are are, people with uterus will still be much more ‘useful’ than people with penis. Beware males*, you’re actually advancing our scheme of killing most men, and keeping a few a walking sperm bank. Especially if you look at the indsutry of the sex toy – and what is a sex robot if not a giant human-looking sex toy? – we’ll get our Daneel, roboLoki and Cumberbot way before the Johansson model is created.
*hum, thinking of it, that’s cis male. I’m unclear of what happen to non-cis people in this evil plan.
You know, these guys never take into consideration what will happen when the robots inevitably rise up against us. The robots that were used as sex slaves for a bunch of hate-filled MRA’s will likely be our cruelest future masters.
Maybe the MRAs should start a Kickstarter campaign so they can build their perfect sexy robots as soon as possible.
It’s kind of hard to predict who would throw in more money: MRAs who don’t want to fuck live women or live women who don’t want to fuck MRAs?
All I know is that when the ladybots rise up, the Sex God Gaius Baltar will be our only salvation.
So. They think the only use for robot sex partners is to replace flesh and blood ones?
They don’t think people who actually want to have sex with humanoid robots with fully-functioning AI exist?
I wholeheartedly approve of having obviously robotic humanoid robots (think Aigis from Persona 3) with full emotional and intellectual range and capability to form friendships and romantic/sexual relationships. This may be slightly TMI, sorry.
Hey, maybe someone can tell me the name of this book…
The book features a slightly future earth with a massive human overpopulation problem, despite the fact that other worlds are being colonized. The situation is so bad that keeping pets is a criminal act and everyone wears burqhas when traveling in public to prevent “crowd rage”. Anyways, a group of people called the Arkists have been steadily collecting animals and sending them off to other worlds. They also create a semi sapient sex robot. Its about three feet tall, speaks in a childish voice, has some sort of technology to prevent disease from spreading, can transform itself to have a variety of genital configurations and exists only to give sexual pleasure to those who own it. Apparently, within about twenty years, these little critters had become so popular that the human population would drop below replacement levels in a radical way.
It also weeded out ALL the antisocial types who did not want human partners because they were too self involved or unsuitable to be partners. Thus allowing for humanities grreatest traits of compassion and co opertation to become the dominate gene expression again.
“The sooner you fuckers build those sexbots you like to talk about so much, the better for all of us.”
Well yes, but I find it strangely typical that the first commercial androids will likely be sexbots. I’d find it more useful to have an android capable of carrying things which are annoying to move.
…do these guys get that robots require maintenance? Their sexbots won’t oil themselves!
Even when robotic technology is advanced enough that guys can have their very own Stepford wives, I won’t feel threatened. Most guys will still want the real deal, and only the pathetic losers will want the fake women.
Um. Ruby what?
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people have a mix of real and robotic partners. Kinda like sex toys today. Does my owning a vibrator make me a loser? What about that peroid of time where I prefered a sex toy to a real man while I straightened my head and life out?
You are always a box full of kittens and puppies aren’t ya ruby. 😉
A semi-brief history on why MRAs believe feminists are against sex bots.
The MGTOW anger towards feminists on the subject of female sex robots has some basis.
Ages ago, some Dworkin-esque sex-negative rad-fems wrote some articles on the subject of female sex robots, and determined that essentially it was “raping the feminine” or something along those lines, thus in actuality was supporting the patriarchy and also contributing towards rape culture.
MGTOWs/MRAs found these articles, and it was then decided then that the de-facto position of feminists is that men should never be allowed sex robots because it’s rape.
There could be a whole lot more said, but in all seriousness SEXBOTS would likely solve a whole load of problems between the sexes.
But fuck, I’m just an MRA yo, what do I know?
OTHER THAN DELICIOUS COUGH SYRUP!
“Well if we’re going to destroy ourselves by accidentally creating AI that then turns on us, sexy ladybots seems like a better way to go than your basic robots with miniguns.”
If they have to turn on us, the least they can do is turn us on first!
Jesus tapdancing Christ, Ruby. Do you know you don’t have to type every dumb essentialist thing that flits across your brainpan?
I don’t care it these guys build robots or VR or whatever the fuck keeps them away. It is funny how they think all men think like them and that women will be expendable due to this robot invasion.
Don’t you realize scientists from the university of science have scientifically determined how much of a pathetic loser this makes someone? Why are arguing with science?!?!?!
Ruby: I would gladly sign up for VR sex the day it fucking opens, are you kidding? On-demand, STI-and-pregnancy-risk-free sex with people whose hotness is only limited by other people’s programming ability?
…Apparently I’m a pathetic loser now. 😛
Oh, Ruby…
Snowy, what percentage of loser did prefering my vibrator make me in contrast to the percentage of loser I would have been dating men when at that point I was thoroughly sick of men and quite angry at them and life in general?
Regardless of the percentages, I’ll happily live with being a vibrator liking loser.
I read shade’s statement as the above three times before I figured it out. I was trying to figure out why “accidentally” was in there. It seems that the MGTOW are trying to do it on purpose. And I would agree that sexy ladybots are better for turning us on than miniguns. Most of us anyway.
Unless miniguns are like in Austin Powers and the fembots
I want a VR boyfriend and a real one. The VR boyfriend can provide unlimited, totally selfless sex and companionship when the real boyfriend is busy/away/sleepy/distracted, the real boyfriend can provide/receive authentic emotional connection.
Obviously it requires a boyfriend who’s okay with that, and some sensitivity on my part–I wouldn’t be all “if you won’t give me what I want I guess I’ll just go play with my virtual man, hmmph”–but I think it could be a really nice arrangement. Each having a VR partner for when they need it to be All About Meeeee could help both partners be more giving and relaxed in their real-life relationship.
To me the VR partners just seem like a better alternative to casual sex, not a better alternative to boyfriends. It wouldn’t replace the partners I’ve fallen in love with, but given my luck with fuckbuddies (flaky! Shit in bed! Wonderful and then move across the country/get a girlfriend!) I’d be more than happy to replace them all. 😛
You people are, of course, all expendable now that I no longer want to use your bodies for orgasms.
Pretty sure that, just like other sex toys, I would use VR when I was single or not single, and I would either use it by myself or use it with my partner. I get my sexual jollies in lots of ways, both with and without my partner around. I… don’t think that’s atypical?
