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.
@dhag
You ninjad me a bit. But maybe they feel that if the sexbot is realistic enough, it would only take a little imagination for them to feel that they’re mistreating an actual woman.
Or maybe this whole “sexbots! Then you’ll be sorry!” thing is actually just an elaborate yet really stupid bluff. Like GTOW.
Now there’s a competition that no one would ever pay to see.
I feel like I should have an existential crisis every time I read one of these lines about the nature of women, because it always sounds like they’re saying I don’t even exist, but all I feel is slightly hungry. Is that normal?
@Penny
I’m also thinking of that episode from Archer where he sleeps with cyborg Katya and then finds her cootch in the hotel sink.
These sorts of attitudes do make me wonder… That feeling I remember from school days when you fell in love with someone and you learned how intensely you can need another person, I would’ve thought that feeling is almost universal. But apparently these guys think 90% of men have never felt any of that at all. What the fuck is that? Like, where do these guys come from?
curse you blockqoute monster,curse you
@sunnysombrera Haven’t watched Archer, but that sound about right.
The whole point of course is that these idiots haven’t gotten past the infantile entitlement of “me…me…me” and physical gratification. I mean he talks about sex as being marketable, not something that comes as part of a relationship…
Wonder what we’d have to do to get PUA groups like RoK labeled cults.
An MGTOWer’s disdain for women is certainly evident, but it’s these scenarios (Look at me! I am fantastically desirable in this inevitable “social collapse”!) that point out to me that they truly disdain men as well. Even if he thought that women would be stupid and frantic enough to fall for the scenario due to…holy hell…sperm deprivation (!!?!!), he’s thinking far too little of the (usually vaunted) competiveness of his own sex. He doesn’t even think of their readiness to classify him as sub-optimal – one willing to see women as too much trouble, one habituated to sexual contact that never concerns the satisfaction of his partner, one who thinks he is owed far, far too much attention to his dick when his sperm production happens in his testicles with as little effort as snot happens in his nose.
Men who’d never gone the bot masturbation route would have plenty of incentive to see “Is your name ‘Jack’? Last name ‘Off’?” becoming the tagline for these fellows.
@dhag85 They come from where a lot of bigots come from. These are people who think the world owes them one way or another. And because they either didn’t get what they wanted or failed at something, they blame someone else, rather than making a self evaluation and LEARNING from what happened.
Actually, that’s a big thing here, I think. People like this are allergic to two things: learning and taking responsibility.
@dhag85 “They can’t own a sex worker.”
They’d hate the idea of having to “share” a sex worker with other men, men who might be better at sex or have bigger penes.
Also their other clients might get a better deal on bus tickets or something (I’m still not sure how that all works)
Heaven forbid your sexuality ever lead you to a place where you have to grow and learn empathy by cooperating with another person. Obviously all proper men avoid this like the plague, because as everyone knows the male amygdala only processes super logical emotions like barfighting and the need to ejaculate in something. You know, it’s just evolution. Men naturally care about immediate pleasure seeking and have no interest in human bonding or delayed gratification, which is why fathers don’t contest child custody and dudes famously never take it personally when an individual woman rejects them. Right, MGTOW?
Seriously. I have no problem with people wanting to be alone or masturbation aids. But I wish these MGTOW would stop kidding themselves that they are what all men secretly want to be, that they’re just the only geniuses who’ve figured out how to liberate themselves. You are not a silent majority, MGTOW. You could just want to not get involved in relationships and say something like, “I recognize that I’m different from most people, and that’s okay.” As opposed to, “Other people are different from me, but they’ll come around, because women are unfixable monsters who would better serve us as literal objects, amirite??”
No, MGTOW, you have not seen into the souls of all dudekind, and no, they do not all secretly hate relationships/feelings/ever dealing with any discomfort/being considerate/having humanity. Women did not invent feelings. Nor are poor, meek men censoring themselves and hiding their true desires while porn and magazines and advice columns teach women to selfishly indulge in exclusively their own sexual pleasure.
Also, @Shotagonist Masterful.

I heard you can get a discount if you buy a week long pass.
Also, do vaginas buses take Oyster cards?
I’m not sure, but I’m guessing it’s cheaper if you have the encounter outside peak times?
For fucks sake, IT ALREADY EXISTS, IT’S CALLED A FLESHLIGHT. You’ll notice that, surprisingly, the maaaaaaaaaaaaaales of the world still desire to go on dates with other human beings.
Also I love the fantasy land where these sexbots somehow only come with a vagina attachment. Yeah, cause if I was making sexbots, I would deliberately limit my market to 50% of the population.
Well, that means that several men could cut costs by owning a bot together – botmates as well as roommates, I guess – as long as there’s no call for sensors to record things like duration, depth and strength of thrust, cc’s of ejaculate so that one botmate could feel superior to another. Wait, though…that leads to the question of who gets custody of the bot if the pair or group splits up.
That also makes me wonder about the production and sale of these sexbots while society was in the midst of or after social collapse. Would the MGTOWer who’d opted back into the market unveil the old model for his son – like handing over the keys to the old clunker you don’t drive anymore? Would a sexbot be an enviable graduation present? Would classified ads for used models have repair and maintenance records as in “Show me the SexFax?” Would men feel embarrassed to get what the bot was worth by including “gently used” in the ads?
I’m unable to match the suspension of disbelief the bot masturbators have for the perfection of their narrative.
Dear MGTOW
Buy a freakin fleshlight and stop talking to people or using the internet.
Bam! All your problems are solved!
Attentively everyone who gets really fucking weirded out by your delusions.
I love that they sincerely believe that all men feel exactly the way they do…well, 90% of men anyway.

And so I await the arrival of my fellow renegade misandroids.
Anybody got a spear? I’ve got a blockquote mammoth to hunt.
@Alan
I think you’re thinking of vagina trains. I’ve never seen a bus service offer off-peak fares, but then, I’ve never lived in London.
Speaking of London, we had a couple of London office colleagues join us for a week. They were weirded out by the buses only having one set of doors. And asked us at 11.30pm, after a late night conference call, if there were any eating places open. Errmmm…
They can imagine lifelike, inexpensive robot fucktoys, but they can’t imagine women continuing to be active and successful in all levels of society.
What sort of person denies the reality they see every day, but believes in a far fetched revenge fantasy involving robots as if it is a thing that is likely to happen?
How frightening are successful (or just happy) women that these men are forced to pretend they don’t exist?
Do you think they get dizzy doing all those mental gymnastics?
MGTOWs,
Get out of the way assholes. We’ve got this. Shoo. All the non-bigoted, cis, straight, white dudes and everybody else will be fine. You aren’t gonna shake up the world by going away. You’re just going to make us super happy. Thanks.
@Jenora
Don’t be silly, only men hunt blockquote mammoths.
We have no objection to you *gathering* blockquote mammoths.
