Over on the MGTOW subreddit, the regulars are daydreaming about sexbots. And they can’t seem to decide what excites them more: the prospect of endless on-demand sex with robot super-hotties — or ruining the lives of non-robotic women who won’t be able to compete with the aforementioned robot super-hotties.
It’s really kind of adorable.
Let’s let the MGTOW Nostradamus who calls himself EnterPseudonym explain how it’s all going to go down when the sexbot revolution arrives at last.
Men will be ecstatic to finally have something they can put their penis into that doesn’t talk:
[I]magine that sexbots are a reality. They’re not too expensive maybe $5000. With a decent job and no girl friend you could save up that money within a year. Now you only have to pay electricity to keep her running and maintenance every so often.
Just don’t get her wet! Those things are known to short out.
You don’t have to pay to take her out. You don’t have listen to her nag or bore you with dull conversations. You don’t have to deal with her emotional swings. There are no pregnancy scares.
You should probably clean her once in a while, though.
How can an average woman, who requires tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in time spent to maintain the relationship, compete against a downloadable Kate Upton who requires a quarter of the maintenance time and money?
But, wait, won’t women be able to buy themselves sexbots as well?
Well, yeah, but women aren’t going to want them, because sexbots can’t provide what women really want: money.
Sexbots aren’t appealing to women because a sexbot is only good for sex and won’t actually be able to provide for a woman.
After the sexbot revolution, the world will be filled with desperate women.
Sexbots will essentially collapse the already ruined market for sex. Women will lose much of their social power, and a social switch might happen where males who haven’t chosen to use sexbots are extremely rare.
And so women will start throwing themselves at any man who will have them.
When 90% of males have dropped out of the market, the 80% of women will be competing for whatever man they can find.
Men who’d been cruelly rejected by real-life women in pre-sexbot days will suddenly find themselves in very high demand.
A former sexbot user, could get tired of his sexbot and want to settle down. He enters a market which is deprived of sperm, and now a man that was ugly, overweight, and typically undesirable before the social collapse, is now part of the top 10% of males. He has his choice with almost any woman. Any woman would choose this “undesirable” man because in fact he is desirable.
They never get tired of this fantasy, do they?
Somehow, though, I suspect that even if 90% of straight men were to take themselves off the market EnterPseudonym would still have trouble convincing women that he was much of a catch.
@Mrs. Chad Skyboomrooster
If true, so? Why is the anger warrented? When I was persuaded when it came to LGB there was more than feeling. What was attached to the feeling was just as important.
How? You have yet to explain any of your feelings of trivilialization.
I don’t believe the assertion.
A backlash against what? You have not explained what the problem is, what you are losing or suffering.
I know many members of those groups that do not, and I am in several of those groups.
Literally untrue. You seem to need these polarized untruths to motivate yourself.
Also literally untrue. Who is “you” here? Trans people? I’m not trans, that’s one. Your dependence on rhetoric that is not only false, but can’t be true does not speak well of your reasons.
There needs to be more than mere disagreement. Reasons should be forthcoming of you get nowhere.
Says the one who has not articulated what is needed for persuasion.
No one said you were not entitled to your frozen peaches.
Okay, this is entertaining again.
Odd, I seem to have some vague notion that many of the posters here fall under LGBT.
Also, since you went on that rant about
…I’d like to know what you think the T stands for.
@ Kupo
Yes. I do not understand your language, nor will I. I see your language as Ubi-Dubbi from Zoom, I see your language as the elven language developed by Tolkien (actually, that’s giving you far too much credit–Tolkien was a linguist), I see your language as Klingon from Star Trek.
I AM aware of these languages. I don’t need to recognize your language as a predominant language.
That’s where my motherfuckin’ MA in linguistics comes in.
Also @ Scildfreja:
I noticed your My Little Ponys gif.
I was going to say, “I don’t need to memorize genders, just like I don’t need to memorize all the pony names in My Little Ponys: Friendship is Magic.”
Thanks for giving me a platform for saying that shit.
SFHC, yeesh! Dude has been at it for years, then!
I’m reading an old thread from 2011 with Mr Al on it…
Klingon was also developed by a linguist.
Good job, Kupo. I also misspelled a word twice. Who wants to invalidate everything I said by pointing out the misspellings??
Oh for fuck sakes. Cishet = cis + heterosexual, you complete banana phone.
I never said it negated anything you said. Just a fun fact that trekkies and language lovers alike can enjoy.
So, let me see if I get this right…
Lesbians are heterosexual, because heterosexual sex is the act of having sex with a vagina.
Having sex with a penis must therefore be homosexual sex. So heterosexual women are lesbians.
Oh my god, it makes sense!
I haven’t caught up with this thread yet but Mrs Chad here is banned for transphobia (and probably about ten other things once I catch up here).
So does that mean if you are straight you are masterbating with someone else now?
David, can you find out which sock Mrs. Chadly is? I’m interested in knowing.
PeeVee, the IP address looks to be fake. Sounds a bit like Mr. Al, based on the handful of comments I’ve read.
I use those gifs largely as a personal mantra to remember kindness and compassion in the face of blistering, overblown hate. You certainly don’t need to memorize their names, though I imagine watching some of the marshmallow ponies might teach you a little bit about compassion and understanding.
No one’s mocking you for mistypes. We’re mocking you for wading in here, declaring yourself a Master of Linguistics, and then not understanding how words work. And then doubling down, apparently?
See, I actually work with semantics a lot in my profession. I’m not a linguist, but I’m well familiar with semantics. Languages are structures-people-use-to-convey-concepts. Specifically, they’re a set of tokens with a grammar which can be represented as a finite state model. Linguistically those tokens would be the phonemes – you know what a phoneme is, right? By combining phonemes according to the grammar of the language, morphemes – units of meaning – are derived.
And that’s it. We are perfectly capable of communicating with these words that you apparently can’t make sense of, transmitting concept and meaning back and forth. That seems to imply a language.
In what way is it not a language, Mrs Chad? Do be specific, please. Is it because it’s not a language, but a dialect? I’d buy that, but in that case, why the hostility?
Looking forward to your answer,
– Fluttershy Unnýðnes
aaw, no answer, I guess. That’s okay, though. I’d be surprised if I got an actual answer. Which is a shame, ’cause it’s a fun question!
wow, that one was quite the circus ride. Thanks, David.
Man, I go away for two hours and come back and can’t even expect a response to whatever I say about this. Not crying, though. The trans animus renders pretty much anything Mrs. Chad has to say into a dribble of putridity anyway.
Thanks, David!
She’s gone. Good. Now I can use words without devolving into the most base hatred
@SFHC
One can only hope. He’d be gone too #hottakes
@littleknown
Ah yes, the Pornographic Model of Sexual Orientation. Ugh. And she wonders why people speculated she was some dude trolling…
Silver lining? Amongst the pseudolinguistic word spittle, there’s some truly catchy, indignantly meaningless nonsense. “TransTrenders” and “cock guzzling, 2nd wave feminist” are especially… off
Oh wow. A MRAL sighting. Think this is a return after a long absence? I think it’s possible that Mick Dash was him too.
I’m also looking through the archives whenever I have spare time and am bored and I’m currently in the MRAL rotating sock puppet era. When he was still an amateur sockpuppeteer and hadn’t managed Steele’s long run.
I think that lesbians are cishet might be one of the best trollisms I’ve heard here in awhile so I’m not even made but dude, you really need to get a life. You can’t even use youth as an excuse anymore.
Mr Al is back? Oh happiness! Is it too much to hope for NWOSlave as well?
I’ve seen a couple of TERF blogs with ‘transtrender’ in their names.
Was I off base with the claim, reduced to a strong feeling based on what I saw, that Mrs. Chad Skyboomrooster was someone pretending? It was during the exchanges that I started rembering that some of you had misgivings about things like guessing about people’s motivations. I’m really careful about this stuff but I have some respect for the associated risks. I have bad memories from my stint as a moderator. People can do messed up things when they assuming about the people on the other side of a screen.
@Lindsay
Shouldn’t have googled that. I only have so much face and so many palms. So much fucking edge!
@Mrs. C
I was just about to do that.
But since you ask so nicely, maybe I won’t.
We’ll see.
Oops. Posted too late.
David, thanks for the troll ban.

I woke up late, and my boyfriend and I had the following conversation:
Bf: So Donald is still talking about Monica Lewinsky.
Me: What?!
Bf: You didn’t know? Yeah, Republicans are begging him not to.
Me: Did he invite her to the next debate?
Bf: Dunno.
Me: She won’t show up. She’s too classy now.
Bf: What?! He’s classy?
Me: No, she is. Monica. Donald hasn’t suddenly become classy.
Bf: Okay, I misheard. Then there’s the Cuba thing.
Me: Do you mean Mark Cuban?
Bf: No, Trump did business in Cuba during the US embargo.
Me: (Dumbfounded) Huh?! (Recovering) I see, it’s just business. Okay, did he also send arms to Ho Chi Minh during the Vietnam war?
Bf: Your cats need you to pet them.
Y’know… By this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump turned out to be just another one of Mr Al’s socks. =P
