There are enough rich, gullible people for this to actually be a commercial success.
The worst incel tech bros on the planet keep yammering on about how it’s going to be “over” for women once sexbots exist, like women wouldn’t be crowdfunding the damn things themselves if it kept these creeps from prowling around them.
It’s not going to keep them away of course, except maybe for the people so far gone they’re already falling in love with a text generator. When sexbots do exist for real they’ll just move on to crying about how it’s not good enough, just like they do now about jerking off and fleshlights.
On the positive side, at least some of them will also get ridiculously ripped off by vaporware startups that leave them with a sex doll shaped paperweight after they get bricked by an automatic update.
Drag has met a sexbot once. There's a surprisingly high number of autistic trans robotgirls in the otherkin community. Drag once met a robotgirl who was built for sex. She had lots of trauma and also BPD.
Reminds me of the Rick and Morty episode with the planet ruled by females while the males occasionally get a sex bot dropped.
