I have made a search and found that comic where a sex doll came to life and killed herself:
I think what is happening here is similar. She didn't have a mind before, but once she gained one she remembered what she used to be and was horrified. That doesn't mean that she had a human mind before coming to life.

Id remove that quick or put up a not safe for work, that will probably get you banned. I don't think direct links to nudity are allowed, even cartoon variety. |

I don't think that she really had any kind of sentience or consciousness at the beginning of the strip when he first bought her. Just a computer preforming tasks it was programmed to do. But entering the reality zone gave her the sentience and consciousness that any real girl would have, or I guess any robot designed to be like a real girl would have, and it gave her a freedom she never had before. She ran because isn't that what anyone would do with a new-found freedom - with a new-found sentience and consciousness to go with that freedom. I don't think she's necessarily running for any specific reason, just running because she can. But what I think doesn't inherently mean that it's what's really happening.
Regardless of what is or isn't happening - I think it's both really creepy, but also really sad. I find it sad, because I can understand how he feels. It's sad because he felt the need to do something like that. Buy what is basically a robot slave that looks like a real girl, and use her to pretend that he's in a relationship with someone who cares. And it's creepy for those very same reasons. Which makes it sadder, to me. But then again I'm an emotional sack of shit, so whatever.

Exactly, she was programmed to be that way, designed from the bottom up to be that way. It's sad that he felt he had to go that way, and it was creepy-weird that he felt he had to go to that point. It's not creepy-creeper that he went that way, it's just that he can't get what he actually wants so he was settling for what he could get that was easier, it's very sad that he went that way, but It is understandable too, he's tried to improve himself, and he fails at it a lot...
And for the people who still want to be disgusted for a sex bot being used... what if a cow suddenly gained sentience and the ability to communicate, would we all be evil for eating them and making them milk slaves for ourselves when they were non sentient?
Also, Miss M, I can't really see Xanthe and Slick together. The only was I see that happening is if she's a closet submissive and just does the hard Sisterhood movement just so Mr. Slick can punish her later. ::prepares the helmet, and jumps into foxhole, pops head out for a second:: Just my own fetishes coming through though... |

Alright. I can be quiet when it comes to Xanthe and her army of militant anti-patriarchy feminist. Its not my webcomic and in the end, they do fight the good fight.
But Slick pilots a fembot iinto the Reality Zone and creates life while Fuchsia enters the R-Zone and ages to dust?! What the hell?! The poor girl, who turned her back on Satan and all of the misogyny he represents, sits by watching Data's cousin pulls a Pinocchio. NOT FAIR!

I disagree completely on both those sentences. I know why you would think that and it makes some sense, but I don't think that it's true.
On one hand, Slick has changed A LOT. He went from a wannabe pimp that doesn't hesitate to sell his soul in order to obtain superficial things like meaningless sex, to a kinda insecure man that really tries to be a better person (mostly for his friends) and is in desperate need of a sentimental relationship, since he knows that it's something really missing in his life.
On the other hand, I do think that he has dating potential as he is now, but he's his own biggest obstacle since he does absolutely not think that. Check the fact that in the past he didn't hesitate to hit on random strangers, but at this point he probably got tired of rejection and decided that he probably didn't have it in him. That's probably the reason why he is 'cheating' his way into a relationship.
Reader1 stated that Slick's theme as a character is the battle between good and evil. I think he is right, but we can't ignore his other theme: The fruitless search for love. |
"I disagree completely on both those sentences. I know why you would think that and it makes some sense, but I don't think that it's true."
That sentence is inherently illogical, I think. so you disagree completely and think that it makes some sense? isn't that a paradox?

You appear to be more horrified by bad science than themes of non-consent.
I guess that makes you creepy, too. |
Then you need to be creepy for not worrying if your toaster really wants to make you toast. This is a total break of the reality zone here, if she was a robot she's always a robot, if she was a human being controlled by robotic instead of organs, she'd be frigging dead, you can't have Pinocchio in the "Reality" zone. |
best comment in this thread, by far. the concerning implications of the desires of one's toaster is clearly a matter of great import.
oh yeah Samsally well what if your toaster doesn't want to make toast for you, huh? what do you do then, huh? HUH? that's right, you walk away, you just got SERVED, brave little toaster in the fuckin' house |

I would hope so, putting the more advanced form of a sexual aid higher than that of a common household device would be very strange to do.
Now if that toaster came to life and had sentience, I would feel very sorry that I made it my toast bastard for the 10 years of its lifespan... or destroy it considering it wants to burn the world in hell-fire. I played New Vegas: Old World Blues... ::Points to his toaster:: I have my eye's on you...

I do really enjoy the fact that I called someone creepy for not caring about non-consent and he responded with something about toasters and then continued to rant and rave about the bad science part.
Priorities, man.
Edit: Oh you responded in the meantime. Fantastic. Are you fucking kidding me about the 'sexual aid' part? Because it's pretty obvious she was made to be more than that. Slick DIDN'T have sex with her. He went on a date with her.

And I really enjoy someone could have feelings for a device gaining sentience and was used for its intended purpose and and having it called non-consensual use...
Edit: Okay wise guy, sexual and emotional life aid.

Making a sexbot's AI more advanced than that of a toaster would be reasonable, since it would perform a more difficult function, but giving it human-level intelligence? feelings? conscience? free will? Why would anybody do that?
Not only sexbots, why would anybody give human-like sentience to a robot? The world is already full of people, the purpose of a robot is that it can do the same work as a person but since it don't have feelings or a life or sentience you can exploit it like the tool it is.
Would you create robot miners and make them able to yearn for sunlight and fresh air? or create a factory worker robot and make it able to feel bored? or make a missile robot afraid of death? |
