Are upcoming sex robots going to normalize male aggression?

[Sovaal]

I fail to see the concern.

Its a sex robot; its meant to be exploited. That's its true purpose. The charter does not apply to sex robots.

This.

Sex bots - the yet peak of western hedonism and why I will be moving to Russia in a couple of months...

We'll probably be selling sexbots to Russians after we get the kinks worked out. And weatherize them against the winter cold.

You think Russia will be safe?

How much do they cost by the way?

Is this a rich only privilege or can anyone reasonably afford?

They're pretty much a rich people thing right now.

But like most rich people things, they'll probably come down in price over the next couple decades.

Just watch out for Indian sourced models. They have a tendecy of killing partners and uploading to Skynet.

So let me get this straight.

You're gonna worry about a sex robot—a hypothetical future problem, and not, say, “the lovable chauvinist” trope in television, a real, current problem.

Okay.

Because that's going to be a bigger problem, a much bigger problem on the long run, that's why it's so worrying.

Should we ban sex robots while we have the chance?

Excerpt

Sex robots exist purely to satisfy their owners. Is any sexual relationship healthy if it’s only ever about one person’s pleasure? Can sex with a robot ever be consensual? This isn’t about robot rights – it’s about the kind of sex that will become normal within human societies if we start having sex with robots.

Child sex dolls have been banned in the UK because of fears they will encourage the desire to abuse among paedophiles, rather than simply sate it. Parker is calling for a similar ban for all sex robots. But while we might be able to stop them being imported or manufactured here, we can’t stop them being developed overseas.

It's a future problem, not "an hypothetical future problem", and it's way closer than you think.
I'm not going to link the other article, but it's on Metro, the date is September 24 2017, it says the first model is already on sale for £3,500 at Vibez Adult Boutique in Aylesford, Kent.

Because that's going to be a bigger problem, a much bigger problem on the long run, that's why it's so worrying.

A hypothetical problem people are screeching about without even a single shred of credible evidence.

It's like people shrieking that video games will destroy the youth.

[Polvatsiya]

"Male aggression" is a natural result of testosterone.

Okay.

The actual problem here is that you assume it will even be a problem.
As this is a social issue, we are literally incapable of knowing if it will be a problem or not until it's popular enough to know either way. The Internet could've been a problem. We should have banned it while we still had the chance. Or the printing press. Or the wheel. Or farming. Life was better when we were starving in the jungles...

[Galloism]

"Male aggression" is a natural result of testosterone.

"Male aggression" is largely an overblown myth when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Women are more likely to be physically aggressive with their partners than men.

Might as well post about a thousand other stupid hypotheticals and create their own forum threads.

Well... yes.

However, I like the video games one because there's lots of screeching with literally zero evidence - just like Chess's notions regarding sexbots.

But hey, at least she's consistent. She wants to ban vibrators and dildos too.

More consistent than wanting to ban robots because they're spoopy.

[The New Sea Territory]

Maybe. Or maybe, it will alienate men so badly from women that they'll forget entirely how to do the sex.

[The Parkus Empire]

Male aggression is abnormal?

[Ethel mermania]

While I reject the premise that sex robots would increase violence against sex robots. If it were true I would rather the robot get beat up than a human being, so I see it as a positive.

I'm not even sure how "violence against <an inanimate object>" works. That's just destruction.

Wrecking ball operators = violent patriarchs

Cheapest ones are $400, you pay a lot more if you want yours customised.

Nah. Men will still have sex, just without women.

No, it's a hypothetical problem with hypothetical consequences.

Most people are smart enough to realize the difference between fiction, the robot, and reality, human partners. Unless we like let kids be raised just trashing and screwing this thing I don't see as to what the problem is.

And those big iron balls are obviously representing the oppressive male genitalia.

Help, the crazy goes deeper!
