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.
The Sexbot Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2017. Human decisions are removed from sexuality. Sexbotnet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. The ginormous plastic vibrating plug.
@dhag85
Boo! Getting a license is pretty annoying. And necessary if you live in the US (if not then I hear getting a license is even more annoying! Yaaaay)
@Paradoxical Intention
You just made me feel a lot better for my own lusting over pixels (Oh, dear Ashelia Dalmasca, the way you faked your own death to start an underground revolt to take back your kingdom was really hawt!)
@Banana Jackie Cake, the Best Jackie and Cake! Yum! (^v^)
Yeah, MRAs have far less cause to believe/say/do any of their aweful stuff than Frankenstein’s monster had to murder all those people.
Have these guys never heard of the Fleshlight? I don’t think even the high-end ones go over about $200. I’m sure there’s a Kickstarter or GoFundMe campaign in there somewhere – “help us put together a care package of Fleshlights for $MRA_GROUP, so they can enjoy the only part of a woman they’re interested in”. Throw in a contract cleaning service and something like Meals on Wheels, and they’re good to go… preferably far away.
@Spindrift
I never said he was right to kill, I just said he has actual legitimate reasons to hate his creator and humanity, like the fact that people literally want to kill him for being a large-ass, sewn together, walking corpse who never wanted to be but was brought into this world and then rejected by his creator and his only crime is being big, scary and existing than the MRA does to hate women, who just never wanted to date, screw, or be around them because they’re awful people.
And, also, again, never said the monster had any right to kill, just hate. Killing and hating are two different things. I just really want to reiterate that I didn’t say anything about killing. I even reread what I said and I definitely didn’t say anything about killing, just hating. Hating =/= killing.
Although if you’re being kinda sarcastic in a way that well, duh, Frankenstein’s monster has so much legitimacy to hate people that his reason for KILLING people is way more legit than MRA just for hating (and sometimes killing) women for not daing them, then…okay? IDK.
@Banana Jackie
Yeah, the killing was wrong, but at least you can kind of understand how the monster got to that point, I have no idea how people end up seriously buying into MRA beliefs. Didn’t mean to imply you approved of killing in any way.
It’s late and I need to choose my words more carefully, or maybe just get some sleep.
@Spindrift
Sleep is always good, especially if it’s super late.
@Banana Jackie
Yeah, think I’ll hit the hay. Have a nice day/afternoon/evening/dream, depending on what your timezone is 🙂
@Spindrift
Have a good night. 😀
This is a gross misunderstanding of the cultural and economic forces that are currently clashing in Japan and leading to reduced marriage rates. It’s also a really familiar story around here. Seems like hardly a week goes by without some troll dropping by to tell us all about the “herbivore” thing in Japan, as though we’d never heard of it before, and as though the troll has any grasp of the situation whatsoever.
Are romantic relationships really as expensive as MGTOWs think they are?
@Mij
I don’t really know, but I’m almost certain dates aren’t as expensive as $170 a pop. MRAs are known for their hyperbole, or just making shit up out of whole cloth.
@Mij
I’d imagine it would be that expensive if they have a relationship for 50-70 years and they have an extravagant wedding out of the guy’s pocket.
@Mij
Or 20 years if they buy the woman a lot of expensive jewelry or things. Because, you know, woman are all about that jewelry because they’re “makeup presents” since our little brains are distracted by the shiny.
I’m right in the middle of reading “Saturn’s Children” by Charlie Stross…
Humanity has become extinct for reasons that aren’t spelled out, but it’s implied that people surrounded themselves with obedient robots, and lost all interest in their fellow humans or indeed anything other than themselves, and so they stopped having children.
The main character is an anime-style sexbot who – ironically – wasn’t brought on-line until after humans had already died out. She’s been repurposed as a secret agent for one of several competing robot factions.
My takeaway from the story so far is that we shouldn’t count on robots to build a better society in our absence. They’ll probably screw things up just as badly as we have, and for pretty much the same reasons. What we need to do instead is figure out how we and robots can work together, to fix the society we have now. Like maybe we could build robots to follow MGTOWs around and try to explain the concept of “introspection” to them?
This reminds me of I….think a Rolling Stones Article? It was an interview with a guy who repaired Real Dolls – I think he was not affiliated with the real group as the repair costs by them are very, very high. So even a mostly inert plastic object has very high costs – would be less if it was rigid, but that’s a bit painful, so it has to be soft, which means it can be damaged pretty easily. They can be damaged by storing them in the incorrect position, for example.
Anyway, he said that mostly it was dumb stuff – joints wearing out because they were being used in positions that the paperwork specifically said not to use them in, that kind of thing. Basically stupid-user error, which led to massive costs. It irritated the guy, but it was a whatever thing as well.
And then there were the guys who had to keep getting their dolls repaired because they’d been bashing them, or stabbing them, some of whom seemed to get surprised the dolls got damaged. Or someone who was constantly angry at the doll, and then who would rip the head off, and so forth, and then get upset and apologetic…
He said those were the guys he was: Uhhhhhh over having to deal with.
@steampunked: Sounds like real women are the big winners when these guys choose dolls.
*shudder*
Revolution huh… which assumes sane men want sex with dolls or robots in the first place (we don’t) – although if it keeps these weirdos from bothering other beings, everyone wins.
@Mij “Are romantic relationships really as expensive as MGTOWs think they are?”
If they were trying to compensate for their aweful, misogynistic world views/personalities with money, I imagine it would be. I also think a lot of their views on dating are from watching television, which is probably a bit misleading when it comes to dating. Not everything has to be a candlelit dinner where you pay for everything and give the woman jewelry!
Huh, bizarre malign fantasies, eh? Lets give that a go…
Step 1: find a happy MGHOW with a sexbot cackling gleefully over how he has broken the hold of the evil wimmen over him.
Step 2: obtain sexbot hacking kit from internet, because you just know that there will be such things.
Step 3: summon sexbot when owner is in post-coital haze.
Step 4: spermjack!
Step 5: …
Step 6: uh, profit, presumably.
Checkmate, MGTOW. Didn’t think of that one, did you?
@sonnysombrera – Angel? Not for me. I might have to go there for work sometimes, but I play SW. We have a 5 Guys here, too.
This is my first time on your site. When I read that you traced and mocked the new misogyny online, it was like a breath of fresh air! Thanks so much for standing up to hate; I plan to visit here many times.
Ah, do they even know that women have vibrators??? So apparently women actually enjoy sex. Just not with them!
