    If it was just about a cute body, people would just get Realdolls with warming coils. Some people are satisfied by that, sure, but not many.

    What most of us like is a body animated by a vivacious and interesting intelligence of some kind.

    And here’s the fun part: the more interesting the spooky animating ghost intelligence, the less cute the body needs to be.

    My partner’s butt is, shape wise, probably pretty similar to many others. But when I squeeze it in a certain way, and it moves lithely in my hands like a big old disco cat… It’s genuinely the best butt in my universe.

      If you think any kind of sex doll is in the same universe as even the dumbest most uninteresting person, you do not fuck.

          Even if it’s strictly sex, sex with a real human being is leagues different than sex with 40 lbs of heated silicone

            You do know in a significant number of languages in this world when gender is unknown the masculine form is used… Some languages, for example Spanish, would even use a masculine form for when the gender is known and a group includes both boys and girls. For example Tengo tres ninos… That sentence could mean I have three boys but it also could mean I have three kids of which some might be female.

            So stop trying to be provocative… You’re bad at it

              im not trying to be provocative im trying to be progressive

              this is english: we have gender neutral terms, which should for many reasons be used

              many people (including myself) find misgendering to be offensive, and many people (including myself) find complicity in the patriarchy offensive

              and also in those other languages people and organizations still often favour gender neutral language; in spanish the forms -e or -i or -x or -@ are somewhat common, i see signage using -x or -e, and spam texts sometimes use -@

              and also, why would you not adjust? saying “they” won’t hurt you

                Intentionally misgendering is offensive, but that’s not what happened here, in my opinion. There’s nothing in their profile so sure going neutral with they/them is probably a safer option, but defaulting to male pronouns (which traditionally are all encompassing) is also fine, IMO. If they had a preference that they cared about then they would specify it.
