    Not really by definition (the dictionary definition is just 'robot with human form')

    But it is absolutely a 'male droid' by etymology. The actual definition has just shifted.

    (also, anyone that unironically uses gynoid makes me want to crumble them into dust)

      I still think "gynoid" is useful as a derogatory term for any robot that was clearly designed with horniness as the primary concern, as a dig at the person who created it

      e.g. the ballerina twins in Atomic Heart

        Y'know, fair.

        However, I am still contractually obligated to crush you.

        I genuinely can't tell how much of their design is intentionally offputting as part of showing what a weird lunatic Sechenev is and how much is the artists being horny. Like is the scene where

        spoiler and CW for violence? and quasi-sexual imagery

        one of them sprouts a unicorn horn from her forehead and proceeds to penetrate and mock-gut the other with it as part of a ritual to unfold the keys required to get a soul-stealing monster out of a casket

        supposed to be extremely creepy and bizarre, or was the artist getting off to it?
