Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share.

I hope you are not seriously asking why designing robot girlfriends might be considered misogynistic when presented with evidence of misogynists celebrating the possible end to the "dating crisis" and thinking that feminists should have stayed in the kitchen.

But if you are serious, maybe watch TNG's "The Measure of A Man" and "The Offspring" a few times, and maybe it will sink in that even with benign initial impressions, the notion of creating sentient or near-sentient individuals with no rights of their own is not the greatest idea.

I wouldn't worry. It wouldn't be long before we'd get stories like "my wife ran into oncoming traffic, murdering several children in the process, right before catching fire, and then exploding."

Is this man seriously suggesting I go watch an episode of Star Trek?


First of all, we're talking about fleshlights that talk, not sentient beings. (Go ahead and clip it there, Diacanu. You're a clever boy.)

Second, why care what those evil misogynists think, as long as the keep to themselves? Tell me you're not resting on "it may encourage wrong think."

It’s been a while but UA really giving off ‘I don’t understand the point of Sci-Fi’ vibes… What were those guys called? Sad Puppies? Sick Puppies?

Disagreeing with you doesn’t prove a lack of understanding, bitchcakes.

I'd agree with a lot of the posts above, but I'm doing an ME3 replay and have spent a LOT of time setting Joker and EDI up with each other.

Of course, she has a choice (Elon's sexbots won't) and he'll probably get a crushed pelvis if they fuck so it balances out.

So like...would having a robot wife while married to a dirty fleshbag human wife be polygamy? Just asking. Not for a friend. For me.

Oh wait, I forgot another important sci fi lesson:

DON'T DATE ROBOTS.

I don't know what level of AI (if any) Elon is planning to have as part of his robotic girlfriends. I take it (perhaps wrongly) from these people's comments that what is envisioned is more than just high-end fleshlights. No matter how misogynistic, I don't think talking fleshlights will replace wives.

As to "why we should care about what those evil misogynists think, as long as they keep it to themselves?" the answer is chances are pretty good that they WON'T keep it to themselves. They will take out their sexual frustration on women and on men who have relationships with women, among others, in various ways, ranging from being minor douchebags to such people and/or convincing other incels that they have a point to feel the way they do, all the way to the extremes of hurting people and thinking they are justified in doing so because they aren't getting any.

I have always wanted to be rid of my dick, and even I am not sticking it into an elon contraption. Not even if the elon contraption was a home SRS machine.

according to Chobits, not in Japan. Also, creating sexualized robot maids is something rich boys can do that is not at all cringy or problematic.

Clamp and Japan are weird. you do not even want to know what a laptop looks like in Clamp land. Oh, and just wait until dudes are shopping for panties for their robots.

This shit has already been explored in anime, and it does not work out well for women and body image problems.

You are not using all of your imagination here. This is because you are still thinking they will look and sound like a robot. They are going to look and sound exactly like you want them to. Women and men will not need each other anymore.

Why deal with something with free will that is going to say no, that will actually feel inferior physically? Right now humans can compete because the robot version is not good enough. When that robot looks better than any woman you have ever seen, can talk about more things that you want to talk about than any woman can, can do your taxes and make you a sandwich and only wants to do the things that you like, you are not going to want another human. Especially when that fleshlight feels better than any vagina ever could. Already your simple dick cannot compete with the motorized version. Imagine what happens when that motorized version looks better than your body, and wants to go antiquing with her while the game is on.

It won't be a problem for reproduction though. the gay male or female versions will milk the males and package the sperm in a nice stasis container to be selected by the females with uteruses and then inserted at their pleasure in a perfectly sterile way that avoids the spread of any disease. Humans are going to love it, and the old way of having sex is going to be considered primative, dirty, and inconvenient.

I'm going to be the first person cyberpussy whipped by a robot.

As long as it says more than Chi and does not wear cuter dresses than I do I will be fine.

Oh, it'll wear all the cute princess dresses

Did Wordforge not start as a spin off to a Star Trek board?

I mean, you sure do spend enough time in Media Central bitching and moaning about Star Trek being ruined by The Wokes™ that I think it's fair to ask if any of its messages suck into the empty void where your brain should be.

I am so glad I will be long dead before the robot gets to look cuter in a dress than I do.

I read the woke as The Wookies and wondered if I had missed a new trek crossover.

Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy

I have a hard time blaming netflix when there is a mass of people using twitter and giving Elon that market power.

Also, Netflix represents in positive ways. So if any of those horrible people who love elon actually go to netflix they are goijng to get some woke ass shit in their feeds. Netflix doesn't offer a twitter special where it is all white and christian. It does not restrict their movies in the US for awful reasons like that.

Let's be realistic. It won't be Data or Lal. It will be a sophisticated interface that more smoothly selects from a limited number of responses when prompted.

And where they commit crimes against other humans is exactly where the line should be drawn. Not thought, not speech, not banging a robot girlfriend, and no supposedly preventative, sanctimonious infringement of individual rights.

I guarantee I've watched it all as many times as anyone here. Even if I don't show it by fixating on the romantic melodrama fantasy football like some lonely teenage girl.

dude, we do not need your projections. Stop now before you pollute our eyes with your boring ass shippery.

It would be the UA version of Jigglypuff putting us all to sleep with his fantasies about Kirk and McCoy.

The technological limitations are the things that would keep it from being all that close to Data and Lal. But certainly the fantasy/desire is for it to be closer to Data/Lal than for it to be just a better fleshlight. Which is where it gets into problematic territory.

There's a lot of interactions that are problematic that fall short of crimes or even violations of rights. And that's in part why we should care what misogynists think even though we are men.

It's only problematic when a human is harmed, period. Fantasy desires are irrelevant.

Absolutely not. No matter what heinous degeneracy a person has in mind, it is nobody else's fucking business until they act on it in a way that is harmful to another human. I flatly fucking refuse to surrender ANY ground to the "offense = injury/ wrongthink must be stamped out" crowd.

And no, Diacanu, this does not in any way compare to sketchy schoolteachers taking advantage of an unwilling captive audience to shove identify politics at students against parent's wishes. Don't even fucking start with that vapid false equivalence horse shit.

How much time do you think Data spent on Lal's sexual organs? Was she "fully functional?"

"Thank you for my life. - Flirting... Laughter... Painting, family... Female... Human...dildo..."

She chose her own gender and appearance. It stands to reason she painstakingly browsed a holographic cooter album and picked out her favorite robo ham wallet.

I thought of that, but Data must have installed a cock or a cock-socket attachment that would work without holographic input. A donger and a hoo ha are hardware.

She chose her appearance on the holodeck, but her physical presence is not holographic. Maybe Data did install whatever she designed.

Indeed. And that leads to some uncomfortable questions about appropriateness and parental boundaries.
