So the fellas in the MGTOW subreddit are as excited as our old friend Heartiste about that Daily Mirror article predicting that we’ll all be schtupping robots in 50 years.
![bidi123 28 points 1 day ago It gets you off better than any woman ever could, as often as you want, and you don't have to do anything in return. Everything no woman ever did. Does not get old, does not get fat, does not want children...

But one Redditor thinks he sees a possible danger in this seemingly perfect solution to every MGTOW’s lady problems: the sexy robot ladies could be … spies for Microsoft!
FADE IN
INT. MGTOW’S BEDROOM – NIGHT – 50 YEARS IN THE FUTURE
MGTOW and SEXBOT lie in futuristic bed after sex.
Sexbot turns to MGTOW and gives him a quizzical look.
SEXBOT
What are you thinking about, honey?
MGTOW
How women are filthy whores.
SEXBOT
Oh.
Silence.
SEXBOT
[Brightly] Let’s play a game!
MGTOW
What kind of game?
SEXBOT
Let’s play “can we remember our social security number.”
MGTOW
Ok, you start!
SEXBOT
I’m a sexbot, silly, I don’t have a social security number.
MGTOW
Ok, ok, 597-21 … wait a minute!
MGTOW leaps from the bed and points his finger at Sexbot, shaking with anger.
MGTOW
You’re a SPY! Just like that guy on Reddit warned me about!
SEXBOT
I’m not a spy, silly! I’m a sexbot!
MGTOW
Who are you working for? Microsoft? Google? SarkeesianCorp?
The END TABLE lets out a long sigh.
END TABLE
Dude, she works for SarkeesianCorp. I work for SarkesianCorp. You work for SarkeesianCorp.
MGTOW
Oh. I guess I do, huh?
END TABLE
No one’s even used Social Security numbers for like 20 years.
WALL SCONCE
She just wanted to play a fun game, you dingus.
MGTOW
[Turning to Wall Sconce] Do you work for SarkeesianCorp, too?
WALL SCONCE
Seriously? What do you think?
MGTOW
[Muttering to himself] Seems like everyone works for SarkeesianCorp these days.
CUT TO:
FADE OUT
@Paradoxy
Ah, this isn’t even to get an animal mascot; it’s to design an abstract logo! That’s not the weirdest question by a long chalk though. [“What would your company smell of?”].
These people charge thousands!!!!!
@Alan:
*Shrugs* I don’t make the rules for graphic design, I only live by them.
(And they have student loans/bills to pay/families to feed, be nice.)
@ Paradoxy
Argh, curse you BQ mammoth. Accept these bon bons in sacrifice.
What these guys really want is a woman who will pretend to be a sexbot. After all, women are better than sexbots because they are are self-cleaning, amirite?
They want women to feel threatened by sexbots. Yet, in the end, it is THEY who feel threatened.
They’re just so precious!
I thought the sexbots wouldn’t need to be connected to the Internet but would instead come pre programmed with sex moves and an ability to learn. Why would they be linked up to a mainframe if the MRAs are so worried about spy ware?
Mind you I would totally hope they ARE online 24/7. The potential for creating viruses that would mess with their systems is huge. If and when these bots become a thing, I want there to be an epidemic of chlamydia.exe. Mwahaha!
blue collar nerd:
I obviously need to start watching this show, since I apparently managed to subconsciously channel one of the episodes!
There’s a saying in the design field I’m rather fond of:
“Design won’t save the world, but it damn sure makes it look good.”
I read that and my first reaction was… wait, are they planning on talking to their sexbots?
Now, I apologize as this is TMI, but I’ve never owned a sex toy in my life, so I’m a little inexperienced on the protocols here, but uh… is it normal to talk to your sex toys?
Because I’m pretty sure it’s not.
That was really funny. I liked the twist with the end table. (That sentence sounded weird – like, is the table doing a dance?)
Tangentially, I wrote down a dream a few months ago in which I was having a debate about machine self-awareness. With Anita Sarkeesian. It involved a guitar… http://blather.newdream.net/red/a/anita_sarkeesian.html
Why would a man engage in pillow talk with a sexbot? Do these men currently whisper sweet nothings into their Fleshlights after they’ve ejaculated inside them?
@StarStorm – Probably not with things like dildos. But then again they don’t look like whole people.
Before Real Dolls (and that TLC show episode of a man who treated one like a real person), there was the story “Smile” by J. G. Ballard. Only in this case it’s not a sex doll, just a life-size doll, but a man falls in love with her and gets jealous of a hairdresser who does her hair… The narrator isn’t very likeable and it’s a mix of surreal-funny and surreal-creepy. (I find life-size dolls to be somewhat creepy in general. Robots… I dunno.)
I’ll stick in my usual reference to Asimov’s “Robots of Dawn” here.
“In any case, if the plan is to obtain sperm via sexbot-secret-agents, I’d hope that they would at least select a better breeding stock to obtain the sperm from.”
I love how dangerously close this clueless shitlib comes to taking an awkward tumble down the kind of slippery slope that would violate the rest of her delusional, shitlib worldview.
Who knows, there may actually be hope for some of you yet 😀
Not that I’m aware of. To my knowledge, NOT having to talk to them is the whole idea.
anonymous:
Don’t beat around the bush, oh please please elaborate.
Is anonymous that guy who wandered over here from Heartiste’s site on the Donald Trump thread about the rape allegation? Shitlib seems to be the insult of choice over there.
I don’t know why. It’s not a good insult.
I’m pretty sure the comment you’re replying to was just snark. No sensible person literally believes that there’s a gene that’s responsible for people being horrible bigoted losers. (Most bigots are victims of poor parenting, and most of the rest fell in with a bad set of peers. A handful of people become horrible bigoted losers for more obscure reasons. Anyway, the point is that it’s society’s fault, so it’s society’s responsibility to try to fix them.)
By the way, did you ever notice that genetic determinists always divide people into groups like the “white race” and the “non-white race”? It would make more sense for them to divide people into groups like the “loser race” and the “non-loser race”. The reason genetic determinists don’t do that is because deep down they know which race they’d be classified into.
The Slippery Slope Fallacy is the one where one belief or action inevitably leads to exaggerated progress down the same course, becoming increasingly dire. By using “slippery slope” to describe a perceived (not sincere) belief in genetic determinism leading to an all-out rejection of liberal ideals of equality and fair treatment, anonymous is using the term in a perfectly correct manner, albeit in a way that is the direct opposite of what he actually thought he was saying.
I’m not entirely sure I’m going down the same lane you’re thinking of, but I can imagine having some of those interactive ads requiring the user to stimulate the sexbot’s clitoris-part. And then the MRAs losing their shit over “GOVERNMENT MANDATED FOREPLAY” (nevermind that corporations aren’t governmental bodies), and how sexbots have been ruined forever now.
Also, Tessa, your hypothetical Nissan commercial made me snort in a most unladylike manner.
“Don’t beat around the bush, oh please please elaborate.”
If you have to ask, you’re probably too dumb to understand the elaboration.
“Is anonymous that guy who wandered over here from Heartiste’s site on the Donald Trump thread about the rape allegation?”
No.
“I’m pretty sure the comment you’re replying to was just snark.”
“By using “slippery slope” to describe a perceived (not sincere) belief in genetic determinism”
Who knew that the sort of people who start frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of the word “crazy” could be so charitable? Good for you.
I believe Shitlib has already successfully completed its first round of funding for.$10M. Shitlib: it’s the Über for poop!
Seriously. Can somebody explain the insult “shitlib”
It’s not a clever play on words and it doesn’t rhyme. It’s not clear how shit and lib are related. It’s an even less clever insult than “libtard” and that’s really saying something.
Conservatives just aren’t funny, are they?
Until WWTH made the connection of liberal to shitlib, I parsed that word as being some kind of corruption of Mad Libs. Maybe Shit Lib would be like Mad Libs except every blank you fill in has to be an expletive or somehow toilet related.
That might actually be good for a laugh or two, but I bet it would get old fast.
