Japanese FemBot Preps for World Domination
At Japan’s Digital Contents Expo – the strangest and most sought after inventions are on display for global tech heads to check out. Without a doubt the oddest creation is a humanoid robot – (not a replicant, per say, but as close as we have for now) – constructed with what appears to be the head of an Asian school girl sex doll – or maybe that just our perverted opinion. Give yourself a round of applause dear!
The female humanoid robot, HRP-4C, as developed by Japan’s Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Remember that name, as it will be our overlord by 2012. HRP can mimic commands from a computerized control device, or be pre-programmed to strike out on its own, either fellating or murdering everyone at the expo, depending in its mood. Japan – full of creepy inventions and even creepier geniuses.

Not funny. Your poor opinion of women is showing.
how is this a poor opinion ow women? it’s more like a poor opinion of geeks or at least the japanese. sorry, i just thought the head kinda looked like areal doll.
“How is this a poor opinion of women?” Because you write as though the only thing a female-looking robot is good for is sex or mayhem.
it was a commentary on how 1) the head reminds me of a real doll, which is not anything like a woman, and is creepy. and 2) robots, at least in scifi, tend to cause mayhem. i do not see where you find any of this against women specifically, and i feel you are just looking for an argument. anyone who knows my writing or regularly visits this blog knows automopedia is pretty feminist, also pro-lgbtq and anti-misogyny. thanks for reading though!
I may be over-reacting, but would you have quipped “either fellating or murdering everyone at the expo” or “head of an Asian [...] sex doll” about an equally creepy boy robot? That being my point. I am happy you’re “feminist, also pro-lgbtq and anti-misogyny”. I guess it was probably a subconscious slip. Never mind. Carry on
the “fellating/murdering” comments, again, were meant to reference the sex doll look of its head, and that it is a robot. i am sorry if i offended you or any other readers, but i still dont see where i am taking feminism back 50 years by my cheesy blog post. if you dont like it please stop reading (actually, dont really stop reading
)
