Over on the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, the regulars are lamenting the recent shutdown of a Chinese sex doll sharing service only four days after it opened. (Apparently people thought it was creepy and perverse, or something.)
But not all of Reddit’s MGTOW squad are on board with the whole shared sex doll thing — and not just because of concerns about, er, hygiene. One commenter warns his fellow MGTOWs that those who have sex with a shared doll are basically getting cucked by all the other men who’ve had (or will have) sex with the same doll.
That’s right: the rented sex doll you spent that passionate night with is cheating on you with other guys!
Responding to another commenter who thinks the Japanese will step up where the Chinese have fallen down, davebrain expands upon his accusations of “simpery.”
Apparently the masculinity of some men is so fragile it is threatened by inanimate objects they put their dicks into.
Every time I thought they hit a new low, I’ve been proved wrong.
Urgh – I’m agreeing with a MGTOW. Buy your own damned doll.
Who thought rentals was a good business move in the first place? Haven’t they been paying attention to what happens to sexbots at exhibitions?
Ew. Ew ew ew. Eeeeeeewwwwww.
“Simp” the new “cuck” ?
even the mgtows realize that word’s been used to death.
Ooh! Our evil plot to turn sexbots feminist has worked and now they’re riding the alpha cock carousel. Just like us! Praise be to Katie!
What. ಠ_ಠ
Sounds like a great way to discover new and exciting STDs, if nothing else…
They know they’re “meatbags” too, right?
These attempts to make women sound gross and less than human always end up revealing that their hatred of women is just them turning their self-hatred outwards rather than finding a healthy way to cope with their own issues.
Even their pronouncements that men are awesome and can do and build anything, but its all a scam to enslave men, so they don’t accomplish great things because they’re too smart is just an attempt to explain away they’re own feelings of inadequacy.
This is where toxic masculinity really has them by the short hairs because if they can’t be men and have any vulnerability, any failures, any shortcomings at all, then they can’t ever feel manly. Human beings aren’t perfect. Everyone fails. Everyone has weaknesses. Everyone makes mistakes.
The mgtow cult and it’s conspiracy theory feeds on this fear of being unmanly because it continually reinforces non-male = non-human.
It seems to go:
Men are perfect.
If you aren’t perfect you aren’t really a man.
Anyone not a man is worthless.
If you are a man and yet somehow not perfect, it’s because women have made you that way because as non-men they are evil, conniving and weak.
Not like men.
Men are perfect.
It keeps reminding me of that role-playing game Paranoia, where everyone is a clone and a spy and clones and spying are illegal, so every player is hiding what they are.

Okay, on this I have to agree…buy your own sex doll, mgtows. Don’t share.
Especially if you don’t like wiping your own ass.
This way, you can keep your toxic stew mix of unhygenic nastiness confined to one doll, away from society. Truly, go your own way.
Edit: I see Ooglyboggles and I are on the same wavelength…
For fuck sake
MGTOW was meant to mean men going their own way, self improvement, not worrying about conforming to societies standards (getting married ect), travelling.
What the fuck has it turned to?
Bunch of bitter idiots
Fuck them
Pardon my obtuseness, but what does, “simp”, mean? I simply can’t keep up with all this weird vocabulary.
P.S. On the topic of brain bleach, hope everyone has seen the latest pictures/videos of the 30-odd baby pandas recently on show in China. Wish I knew how to link or embed, or whatever it’s called.
@eibhear,
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=simp
It’d be much more amusing if they were referring to the kind of simping that showed up in Judge Dredd comics.
Err. So that sex doll business shut down.. That Austrian sexbot maker condemned the men who ruined the doll with how rough they handled it at an expo as ‘barbarians’
I’m sensing a pattern.
Since I’m still reminded of the stories how those Real Dolls repair factories would receive the dolls brutalized with stab wounds on their face, chest and genitals from their barbaric customers..
@PeeVee,
Thanks, though I wish these words didn’t exist.
@eibhear,
So do I, but it does prove one thing: for all of their whining about women, mgtows prove that nobody is more contemptuous of men than other men.
@ nequam
I’m so glad you said that because that’s exactly what I was thinking.
Is it weird that my first thought is that this is probably rooted in homophobia? “Eww, another penis has been there at some point, and by transitivity of penises if I touch it that’ll make me gay! Only one penis can ever touch a thing ever!”
Then again, the other thought I had is that these guys have so thoroughly internalised the idea that women are objects that they can’t turn off their attitudes even when presented with actual objects.
ETA: That said, sharing sex toys (including dolls) sounds incredibly unhygienic and I wouldn’t recommend it regardless.
This is why I believe that in the future, sentient machines should be protected from humans. Machines that think and feel need protection from people like this. Because honestly in the most dystopian machine uprising stories i’ve read, robots never manage to match this level of disgust and anitpathy.
So I’ve read the UD definition but I’m still confused about the usage of “simp” in these posts. How does one make oneself subservient to women by having sex with a sex doll? And what is the origin of this word? I’d never seen it before now.
From “Simpering,” a word that’s only ever used to describe dads from crappy ’90s sitcoms. Because MRAs are fucking obsessed with dads from crappy ’90s sitcoms.
That makes … no sense? In the context of men who are having sex with inanimate objects? I know I shouldn’t expect anything from manosphereans to make sense, but my mind remains stuck on this.
I assumed it was short for simpleton, but that’s based on pure guesswork on my part. But it seems to make contextual sense.
I think I’ve discovered davebrain’s true identity.
No wonder he has such strong feelings on sexbots.
Is there anything they’re not “cucked” by?
