I think it will be more popular with men.Flabby Chick wrote:The marriage aspect of it sounds a tad far fetched, but i think sex with robots will be a booming industry, and why not? It's only masturbation with a complicated dildo after all.
I also reckon it will be more popular with women than men.
Bring it on i say.

Issues of xenophobia and the definition of life. It's stock standard sci-fi.THE ARTICLE wrote:Arkin noted that "if we allow robots to become a part of everyday life and bond with them, we'll have to ask questions about what's going to happen to our social fabric. How will they change humanity and civilization? I don't have any answers, but I think it's something we need to study. There's a real potential for intimacy here, where humans become psychologically and emotionally attached to these devices in ways we wouldn't to a vibrator."
Levy is currently writing a paper on the ethical treatment of robots.
That's the real problem with anime. Many of the female figures are between 10 and 14 with a 20 something body. That's messed up.Testiculese wrote:Go 0-5 and keep that attitudeWhat are they, $5K? [edit $7k!] Helluva lot cheaper than a few divorces!
In Japan, they're on the young side:
They are the same as Realdolls...based on the other pictures, I'm guessing they were aiming at 13-14 years old, with, of course, 22yo boobs and arse.
it's the other way around. In Anime the characters generally always look younger than they officially are to appeal to the Lolita complex. But the official ages are merely a tacked on "see we're not total sickos" disclaimer pasted-on after the fact to give some semblance of decency - it gives them a form of deniability to protect themselves with when characters that are clearly under 12 are playing hide the tenticles.Duper wrote:That's the real problem with anime.

Actually that isn't true for many series, but there are enough that any casual anime fan would notice it. The worst ones are targeted almost exclusively at the extreme Japanese otaku market segment. Generally speaking the more "moe" something is, the more it will probably fit that mold. It is unfortunate most people lump all anime into the same category as "Moe-tan" and "Kodomo no Jikan" though. (Or their opposite where some characters breasts are bigger than their head.)roid wrote:it's the other way around.

Well, what were you expecting? In Japan, picking an older woman as a model is the equivilent of picking a fat woman as a model in western countries.Testiculese wrote:In Japan, they're on the young side:

I believe the thought going into his head was something along the lines of "hmm... as my job as a journalist, how can I report something that'll sound interesting to my audience, regardless of who believes it?"Hostile wrote:And I wonder what was going on in this guy's head when he came up with this idea for a dissertation?

Imagine breaking the news!aghh,this article is crap wrote:The main benefit of human-robot marriage could be to make people who otherwise could not get married happier, "people who find it hard to form relationships, because they are extremely shy, or have psychological problems, or are just plain ugly or have unpleasant personalities," Levy said. "Of course, such people who completely give up the idea of forming relationships with other people are going to be few and far between, but they will be out there."
I know the answer to this question: WTF is wrong with you, dude? Hmm. Setting up an industry to cater to child molestors' libidos? Offering them facsimile children to boff? This will somehow reinforce the notion that boffing children is wrong? Yeah, Dr. Obvious invest in researching that one. Tell me this idiot is just the engineer and not the guy who figures out how to actually use stuff.Wowurkidding wrote:"If you have pedophiles and you let them use a robotic child, will that reduce the incidence of them abusing real children, or will it increase it?"
