Handing someone like this a sexbot is handing a diabetic a Coke and considering them cured, or getting someone with a toothache a bunch of heroin instead of a dentist. A “solution” that makes the problem worse is not a solution. Exactly. We don’t help gang members by giving them money, even though low income is a proximate driver of gangs. We provide interventions in the form of CBT, mentoring programs, job training, midnight basketball. Money may or may not be a part of these interventions. Incels rage against the stereotypes about them… that they are fat, neckbearded, tendies-addicted, fedora-wearing titty baby basement dwelling losers. Now throw “sex bot-fucker” in the mix. Does their image improve or become even more pathetic? So I have a hard time imagining how a sex robot will make the Incel problem better. Yeah, a fembot probably would bring hours of joy to some lonely dudes. I don’t think these are the dudes the rest of us are afraid of, though.
