    Ex-machina anyone?

    Wasn’t this one of the plot threads that the shut-away CEO who made the bots had for himself one with an Asian ethnicity (a reference to the racist stereotype that Asian women are the ‘perfect’ wife because they are weak and submissive 🫤) that didn’t speak as a pseudo-housewife that ended up stabbing him in the finale?

      This is what I thought of lmao

      Both his SA bot and the main one being Turing-tested killed him in the end.

      If there was ever a real-world tech billionare who was conceited/naively overconfident enough to make a murderous AI robot (designed to look like an amalgam of people’s porn preferences lol) that ended up killing him, it’s Elmo.

        Yeah Elmo saw those films and failed to understand the message “if you think the bot you’ve built is sentient don’t trap it and assault it because it will want to break free and stab you” lmao.

    I’m not even a woman, THIS shit is why I hate humanity. YOU. DO. NOT. EVER. DEFINE. SOMEONE. ELSE’S. SOUL. FOR. THEM. If my mom says she’s too busy, I ADMIT she’s not obligated and get myself a fucking sandwich because she’s my mother and I actually care about HER. My dad is the same, he respects her because she’s his wife and not just for appearances.

    So now we have men being incel assholes who think they are fucking “owed” sex, and women being backstabbing, TERF elitists who don’t understand “eye rape” is just code for “if I don’t find you sexy, you can’t be in the same room as me” bullshit, because both sides care more about fucking SOCIAL STATUS BY PROXY than ACTUAL HUMAN DECENCY.

    I CARE about my family, but the rest of you? I literally only can empathize with your children now, EVERY ADULT in the WORLD has made themselves clear; You love hurting each other’s children because they never figure out who hurt them until it’s far too late for justice.

    You will make good practice dummies when I fucking shoot you all, burn in hell with me.

      As a non native English speaker, that is the grammar mistake that most baffles me in natives. Like, how does anybody think that “of” is the right word there, how does it make sense in their heads.

      True 🦴🍎☕️ material, if it weren’t that absurdly common.

        When spoken should’ve can sound a lot like should of or shoulda depending on the dialect. Most native speakers don’t really think about gammer rules when writing informally, they just write how they speak.

          shoulda makes vastly more sense, and is precisely the kind of thing that tends to become slang and eventually just the standard spelling, like “dunno” or “gotcha”.

          “should of” just feels like people know it should be two words, but don’t know how it’s spelled, and instead of just spelling it phonetically they make something half-phonetic up.

            I say shoulda, gonna, etc. I’m never going to mix up should’ve with should of. It doesn’t make ANY fucking sense typed out. I discount everything else a person has said if they type either.

          Should of is so much worse though. There/they’re/their I can excuse as being dyslexic or English as a second language. But should of/could of speaks to a deep problem. The person who types it does not consider what they say.

        I think the mistake might come from a lack of reading. The contraction “should’ve” is often used in speech, which might be mistakenly written as “should of” if you don’t read a lot and see it written properly all the time. We’ve mostly lost the voiced quality of “v” at the ends of words like that, so it’s basically pronounced “should-uf” in American English.

          I mean, it’s rather obvious it’s just written down as it’s spoken - like “bone apple tea”. But while it’s relatable that someone who doesn’t know any French cannot write “bon appétit”, I don’t get how a native speaker could write “should of” and thinking yeah that makes complete sense.

          It’s also not an auto-correct problem like “there, they’re, their” may have originated (I hope it did).

          i just learned yesterday that apparently america teaches kids to read not by, you know, having them read things, but by memorizing made-up rules to… guess at how words are pronounced and what they mean…

          this uh, explains a lot about why america is why it is, i feel.

          Do you talk about your worries and fears to the fleshlight beside your bed? Do you try and plan a future with the magazine you’ve made sticky?

          All to say I don’t care what gets your jollies off (legally of course) but there’s a huge difference between self pleasure and building a life with another human being.

          Maybe you’ll experience it some day.

              It is more like that those people can’t get a real women because a woman is allowed to have a standard nowadays so they try to save face with “I didn’t wanted a real women to begin with. Bots are better anyway. I’m not lonely, you are lonely”.

          What a stupid question. Do you think people use sex toys as a replacement for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences or is this a self-tell that you think relationships are nothing more than sex?

            Are you going to force people who own bots to use them for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences, or does your crystal ball tell you this will happen?

                I think the point was “I don’t assume you are in love with your dildo, and so you shouldn’t assume consumers of sex robots are, or desire to be, in love with their sex robots.”

                The picture in OP isn’t really a counterargument, as it’s arguably an appeal to one specific slice of the nascent sex-robot customer base.

                I have to admit, while sex-robot is not a thing on my want list, if it were I’d tend to see it as a super fancy sex toy, not as a companion. (Though again I recognize that for some it probably would be.)

      … Can it do domestic labor or just sex? I am a woman and frankly I’d be interested in a robot wife… I’ve got my husband for sex but we’re tired of cooking dinner and cleaning the house. We’d both like a wife.

      I mean, they would most likely also make a male version.

      And then we can all join in on the fun with both. Might even be able to do the more advanced Kama Sutra stances that are normally reserved for orgies.

      You can bet it will be someones kink.

      Most of those men were never that desirable on a personality level anyway.

      They think of women in transactional terms, where they only do what’s necessary to get laid.

      I think, especially the incel types almost live in an RPG. Women are just NPCs, you do some quests for them, fetch her father’s sword from the orc cave, hit the right speech options and if you gathered enough reputation, you get the ethereal pussy of power that gives +5 on mana.

      Switching directly to robots does make sense in that world.

        the thing i just cannot wrap my head around with these people is what the hell they’re after, they claim they don’t like women and yet they’re clearly thirsting after them.

        best i can guess is that they’re just profoundly mentally unhealthy and unable to realize that if they want a partner they should just… be desirable, which easy to get started with by learning how to cook and being nice to people.

          They see women as accessories, like a tie or jacket, and fundamentally less valuable than themselves.

          I think this is partly driven by a mixture of misogyny and low self-esteem. A woman on equal footing might threaten their very fragile self worth.

          So being a normal person would mean partial submission to a woman (because that’s just part of being in a relationship, you’re not always on top), but at the same time they feel the societal need for a woman, because only having sex makes them true men.

          And it’s also the typical self-victimization of fascist Ideologies. Nazis are victims of the Jews, current fascists are victims of immigrants or Muslims, incels are victims of Chad Thundercock.

            It’s also driven by isolation. There’s a reason there are so many incels out in the sticks. These guys have never been popular, so they locked themselves away, in a place where you already have to work to meet people. They basically never socially mature, and get all their human interaction on 4chan
