Like a lot of his fellow Nazis, The Daily Stormer’s Andrew Anglin is worried about the declining white birth rate — and the prospect of being “outbred” by people of darker hues. As he sees it, the main bottleneck has been what he sees as the “unregulated” white woman, unwilling to have babies in sufficient quantities and also not particularly interested in dating Nazis like him.
But Anglin is now convinced that both of these problems have been solved by SCIENCE — the sex problem by sexbots and the white baby problem by artificial wombs.
He seems most excited by the former. In a recent post on the Stormer, Anglin hails the development of sexbots that can hold a converstation with their owners — if by “conversation” you mean that these robots can respond with prefab comments to certain questions, like an AI-enhanced Chatty Cathy doll.
But this is more than enough for Anglin, who sees these rudimentary conversation skills as being more advanced than the conversational skills of actual human women. “[H]uman females cannot have conversations,” he asserts, before dropping a bit of copypasta: “All they know is McDonald’s, charge their phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie.”
With sex and conversation taken care of, all that’s left to worry about is the baby making, and Anglin is convinced that recent experiments with sheep prove that artificial human wombs are not only possible but could soon be widely available.
“We will have sex with the robots, and we will grow our children in plastic bags,” he writes.
They’ve already done this with a sheep, you see.
A sheep is a mammal, so all of the dynamics for doing it with a human are already there.
The sex robots will also be better mothers than any human female could ever hope to be.
Basically, we’ve solved our white reproduction problem. Now we just need to implement the program.
Yeah, good luck with that.

Out of curiosity, are any sexbots designed to act as though they are having an orgasm and exhibit signs of orgasm for realism? I’m curious if that’s a feature that is being developed.
This will also likely be required for sexbots to become popular, as is I find them a bit creepy in an uncanny valley way and I’d imagine I’m not alone in that assessment. Until they are more indistinguishable they might be the preserve of robot fetishists and enthusiasts who will spend hours comparing the specs of their bots.
@Rabid Rabbit
Yes, but many of those effects are quite significant. It meant people could also have sex but still not have huge families at a time when it was becoming less economically feasible to have a large family.
In this case, it’s a reference to Huxley’s Brave New World, in which fetuses gestate in bottles and are “decanted” instead of born.
I read that book when I was 10 years old and didn’t know much about sex, it gave me some very odd ideas about sexuality that it took quite a while to unlearn. Not a good book for preteens.

Since Anglin obviously hasn’t thought any of this through, I’m fairly certain he doesn’t realize how important eggs are. He’s probably going by his gut feeling, which is likely to be that his sperm just needs a cozy little nook to gestate so that the homunculus inside grows into an actual human.
Re: access to eggs
One could always treat that as a trivial issue, at least compared to the problems with artificial gestation itself. Like, maybe eggs could be grown from stem cells in a lab. Or, maybe lots of women would be going through egg extraction process to have their own (biological) children, in which case it’d be easy for them to sell some surplus eggs.
But more realistically,
For the assorted online misogynists, “sexbots and artificial wombs” seems to be mostly an empty catchphrase; a meme associated with the vague fantasy of making actual women obsolete, somehow. Practical details or even basic mechanisms need not be discussed; it’s the principle that delights the heart of a misogynist. Perhaps this whole topic isn’t so much even a pipe dream for the future, but rather just a rhetorical way to ritualistically reassert what the misogynists already hold true: that women only have real value in sex and reproduction.
@Snowberry
But we’re talking about attachment here, not sex. The material the sexbot is made from is irrelevant. Surely you’re not agreeing with Anglin that silicone and human skin are indistinguishable in providing comfort to a baby?
@Buttercup Q. Skullpants
Well, given that women make no difference between dildos/vibrators and dicks, clearly they’re indistinguishable. (/s, in case that wasn’t clear, and I’m horrified it has to be specified.)
@Lumipuna
So it is a proclamation of shared values, to be seen as virtuous with no action required? What one might call… virtue signalling?
@Allandrel
Conservatives virtue signal to each other all the time, so yes, I think that fits under that category. They really took the whole “accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty” line seriously.
Other conservative things that I think qualify as virtue signaling are constantly repeating and posting slogans like “Make America Great Again,” rambling about support for troops or police forces, making helicopter jokes (both kinds), and threatening to boycott companies while never actually doing so.
