    You can’t just say that and not elaborate. Btw, she’s underaged

      I’d enjoy seeing a real ideological debate on the ethicality of sexualizing a cartoon teenage robot between intelligent and informed parties and whether or not said robot can even be considered “underaged”. I’m not taking a stance, I just want to watch other people do so

        I mean, at the root of it all, you’ve got to ask why paedophilia is wrong in the first place

        Is it the individual’s obsession with youth-like appearances or naivety? Not necessarily, as both of those things can fairly easily be emulated in older (legal) individuals

        I’d argue it’s wrong simply because of the impact you’re having on the victim. You are effectively giving them ptsd for the rest of their life, destroying any childhood they may have left, even if consensual, as they can hardly be expected to understand what they’re agreeing to

        But a robot? Well, I don’t know if this line of thought can even apply to them. On one hand, we don’t know her actual age (I think); she may be entirely legal

        On the other, if she can fully emulate a younger teen mind, then how is raping her any different from raping a human?

        Can you even consider them equivalent, when you can wipe her entire memory?

        Can you even quantify her age?

        Questions for later

        I’d like to hope everyone agrees it’s wrong. She had “the mind of a teenager” but I think she hadn’t had sentience that long. Maybe someday they’ll make robots take a test to see if they’re ready.
