Are the otakus okay???

This showed up in my YT feed and it was too cursed not to share. What gets me is that this is an officially licensed, SquareEnix-approved product what-the-hell

It's seemingly made by one of those Chinese companies that make incredibly realistic and expensive action figures for rich nerds so it's technically not a RealDoll but there's probably a reason why its life-sized and why they chose the HoneyBee Inn outfit

Imagine visiting someone's house and seeing this thing on their couch

spoiler

Also imagine what it'll look like in 20 years once the silicone starts to degrade

    the only reason to have a sex doll is to leave them in funny places like sitting at a library reading a book

        This is a product created for the loneliest of the lonely. I had a pal in Tokyo who I met playing left for dead off himself because he was so lonely. It really fucks people up

        What I've never managed to stop thinking about with these life-sized doll things is how much they must just seem like dead bodies, in form and function

        If you had to move house with this thing you would need to make the exact same considerations as a killer moving a corpse

      This isn't a sex toy though, which somehow makes it even weirder

      Even if it was, I'd argue life-sized silicone dolls that cost thousands of dollars aren't the direct equivalent of a dildo or whatever. There's much more discreet and infinitely less creepy options for dudes looking to get their rocks off that you don't need to hide like a corpse when your mom comes over

        It is a sex toy. It contains sex toy anatomy.

        I personally think it's creepy since I have the same reaction to it that I would to a corpse but if you know anybody in the BDSM community they have waaaaay more elaborate sex-related things in their house than this.

          It does?! It absolutely blows my mind a company like SquareEnix would approve a fucking RealDoll with the likeness of one of their most recognisable female characters

      i mean... Not just not in trouble, they'll be less likely to find a prick that objectifies them... So... Seems like a win-win i guess?

    I've actually thought about this and I wouldn't mind a job making sex dolls for nerds. idk I just view them as any other sex toy shrug-outta-hecks

        I've gone back and forth on this in my head, on the one hand yeah it's weird and creepy and objectifying but on the other if we're not going to stick sexless men in camps or kill them a good option is to allow them a release, there's been dudes through the years that have actually straight up marry these things and have romantic relationships in the case of Davecat (google him). idk it feels harmless compared to say like sex work which is actually pretty dangerous.
