Join the campaign against sex bots!

[230RN]

I recalled this incident when I lived in Boulder a looong time ago, where a cowboy wanted to marry his horse.  I was going to comment on it without documentation, but lo ! I found a reference to it!

http://www.npr.org/2014/07/18/332344999/colo-clerk-recalls-issuing-same-sex-marriage-licenses-in-1975

County Clerk at-the-time, Clela Rorex, recalls,

"One day I walked into my office. I was standing and looking out my window, and this horse trailer drives up and some media vans. This cowboy gets out. All of a sudden it just dawned on me: He was gonna ask for a marriage license for his horse," Rorex says. "My deputy and I were flipping through the marriage code like crazy, you know, 'What are we gonna do?' "

"So the cowboy comes in and asked for a marriage license, and I started taking information. I ask him his name and Dolly's name — Dolly was the horse. And I said, 'And how old is Dolly?' He said, 'Eight.' And I put my pen down, calm as could be, and said, 'Well, I'm sorry, but that's too young without parental approval,' " Rorex recalls with a laugh.

So would wombots have to be "aged" for 16 years after their manufacture?

I didn't realize it was that memorable an event, what with folks riding their horses into town and skiing to work in snowstorms at the time, but with the gay marriage thing nowadays, I guess others have brought it up, too --there are a number of search engine hits on it.

Why we should not ban sex bots.

[BlueStarLizzard]

Fistful, it has to be able to sign on the "x" and uphold the contractual obligations.

I'm pretty sure the sexbots can't be programed to deal with stuff like being next of kin after death and making various decisions required of a spouse, or at least, not yet.
And by the time the sexbots can... I think the world will have bigger issues than people wanting to marry their sexbots... Like, skynet kind of issues...

And it used to have to be the opposite sex-bot. Do you not see how one taboo is as easily overcome as the other?

[RevDisk]

The type of folks to buy such bots, at the moment, are the type of folks not at risk to be in a relationship or be in the position to change their views on genders.

20 years from now, might be a different story.

Some dude already married his My Little Pony.

And since an inanimate object can't be held legally responsible for signing contracts, I think it's a moot point. *shrug*

Just because she's inanimate and just sort of lays there from the get go shouldn't mean they can't still get married.

I predict sexbots with interchangeable parts.

This! There's a lot of inanimaphobic microagression going on in this thread.

I predict sexbots with interchangeable parts.  

I predict sex-bots that have the likeness of real world people. Either licensed/sanctioned, or bootleg. There might be copyright issues with your appearance or likeness. Famous people might have to produce sex-bots of themselves, whether for sale or not to simply to establish copyright on themselves. People might start scrubbing social media for photos and audio/video of their intended target and have some place make a custom copy.

I further predict non human sex-bots, fantasy creatures, and replica real-world animals, and then a thorny legal issue of sex-bots depicting underage people.

Oh, and all the same for virtual reality, which might actually come faster, or negate the need for a physical bot altogether should the haptic feedback technology or direct neural stimulation improve.

I hear there's a sale on Kes 'bots.

Late to this party, but I read the title as 'Join the campaign against box sets!'

Yeah, at least until the lawyers from Jolene Balock and Paramount kick down your door and serve you with a DCMA subpoena, plus parallel suits naming you in infringement of copyright and trade-dress, and emotional damage to poor Jolene.

All because you bought the counterfit bot from AliBaba and made the mistake of updating her character set and KSF.cfg (Kama-Sutra File... as they'll come to be known) from am old copy that didn't have all the old corporate spy ware stripped out.

That's not so far-fetched.  A local scumbag lawyer -- not redundant, he stood out among scumbags -- who made a name for himself suing people under DCMA for illegally downloaded porn.  I think the way it worked was he would offer to quietly settle out of court for $$$$$ (extortion, basically)

Look up "Prenda Law"

Looking at this,  and her other postings and projects she's done,  I think she already might consider herself a sexbot...

If she could clean guns,  help with the more mundane parts of brass prep and reloading I might be interested.

I don't want to get into the legalities of "next of kin" as a limited power of attorney or committee or guardian could take care of all that icky stuff.

See?  I didn't want to but some of you are going to insist I just did.

stay safe.

Eh, known a couple ladies in that motif. They tend to be off the market in a hurry. And a waiting list a mile long if they come back onto the market.
