“With China facing a massive gender gap and a graying population, a company wants to hook up lonely men and retirees with a new kind of companion: “smart” sex dolls that can talk, play music and turn on dishwashers.”
Especially the fact that she can turn on the dishwasher!
US law bans “child pornography” which does not involve any actual children, but consists only of drawings (think hentai manga) or computer effects. A child sex doll would look like a child, and be “anatomically correct,” but would not in itself be pornographic–only the use of it would be. So, a field day for lawyers.
There are some “child” sex dolls and such. Or they’re made to look very young since dolls don’t have an actual age. Some people actually advocate for them as a deterrent for people that have sexual urges for minors to fulfill their “natural” urges with the dolls. I think pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder.
Again an interesting moral issue. What does the Japanese obsession with schoolgirls mean…they’re all psych cases or fetishized fantasies are an acceptable form of sexual abnormality?
If I program a sex robot (or a VR equivalent) to scream like I’m raping it, you would no doubt think badly of me. But if I play a first-person shooter video game in which I murder hundreds, nobody bats an eye.
Not really. Child rape has always happened, its just now that we’re realizing it. What amazes me is that the Church of the Holy Roman Child Rapists is still standing.
