Are the otakus okay???

This showed up in my YT feed and it was too cursed not to share. What gets me is that this is an officially licensed, SquareEnix-approved product what-the-hell

It's seemingly made by one of those Chinese companies that make incredibly realistic and expensive action figures for rich nerds so it's technically not a RealDoll but there's probably a reason why its life-sized and why they chose the HoneyBee Inn outfit

Imagine visiting someone's house and seeing this thing on their couch

spoilerAlso imagine what it'll look like in 20 years once the silicone starts to degrade

I've actually thought about this and I wouldn't mind a job making sex dolls for nerds. idk I just view them as any other sex toy shrug-outta-hecks

Sex toys should be discrete IMO...

And less... human

I've gone back and forth on this in my head, on the one hand yeah it's weird and creepy and objectifying but on the other if we're not going to stick sexless men in camps or kill them a good option is to allow them a release, there's been dudes through the years that have actually straight up marry these things and have romantic relationships in the case of Davecat (google him). idk it feels harmless compared to say like sex work which is actually pretty dangerous.
