Are sex dolls newsworthy? I certainly think they do! However, it is understandable that the topic of sex dolls is rarely in the headlines. That's why it's exciting when we see news stories related to sex dolls. So, let's see what news stories have featured sex dolls!
"Spectators" At Soccer Leagues
Sex dolls are also avid sports fans? South Korea's premier soccer team, FC Seoul, has been fined a record amount of money for violating what rules? During the epidemic, they prepared an elaborate promotional video in which the club placed models inside the stadium's spectator stands to act as spectators for the game. Each model can be seen wearing a mask and maintaining the required social distance. Unfortunately, however, these were not ordinary mannequins. Perhaps you've thought of it, yes! Those mannequins were actually sex dolls. One could consider this an amazing use for sex dolls, but unfortunately, this is not a permitted act in Korea, so the team was fined 100 million won, about $75,000
Sex Dolls Are Selling Like Hotcakes
The number of sex dolls being purchased is increasing, as are the numbers of many other sex doll sellers. What's going on here? Is it lonely? Probably not! Sex dolls are indeed a great companion for those who are not dating or do not have a partner, but that is not their only purpose. Many dolls are purchased by couples, curious people and others who want to explore different things sexually. We think that, combined with feelings of loneliness and boredom, make people more willing to spend money on one of our amazing TPE dolls.
Japanese Sex Doll Restaurants
Restaurants are using sex dolls to encourage social distance. Restaurants and other businesses are slowly reopening as restrictions begin to be lifted. Some restaurants are even allowing customers to dine indoors. Of course, in order to do this, they have to become creative to ensure that customers are seated far enough away to be safe. To accomplish this, some restaurateurs are removing chairs and tables to create distance. Others are filling their seating areas with stuffed animals, toys and a variety of items to make sure people spread out. In addition, some businesses have taken a joking approach. They fill empty seats with sex dolls! It's a great way to keep people safe and healthy, while creating a fun and sexy atmosphere.
The Doll Wonderland
Anna Kendrick approves of sex doll fans. In a recent interview, Anna Kendrick talked about her new show Doll Wonderland and her newfound respect for people who own sex dolls. In the movie, Kendrick and her boyfriend become friends with talking sex dolls. After interacting with the dolls, she says it's clear that people who own sex dolls must be very loyal to them.
MMCA's Sex Doll Work Sparks Controversy
At the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Korea, some of the works on display for the 2020 Korea Artist Awards have come under fire for photographing sex dolls. Visual artist Jung Yoon-seok's work is part of the "2020 Korean Artist Award" exhibition co-organized by the MMCA and the SBS Foundation. Four visual artists were selected earlier this year and their work was presented at the MMCA's Seoul venue on Dec. 4. At the center of the controversy was the two-hour documentary "Tomorrow" and 14 photographs depicting how sex dolls are produced and consumed. The first part of the film shows a factory in China that produces sex dolls and features interviews with factory workers about how they work there and what they think about being an employee. One female employee confesses that she feels "a bit vain" about making sex dolls; the second part tells the story of a man named Moriyoshi and Matsuda, who suggests that artificially intelligent robots should control society because the human political system has failed.
As soon as the exhibition opened, the museum's social media accounts received numerous comments about the documentary and the photos, with some saying that the sex dolls symbolize the sexual objectification of women and that it was inappropriate to publicly display photos of them. One comment read, "I believe the work displayed by this artist reflects the artist's personal desires, and I would say that this work is more like sexual harassment than artwork." Some called on the museum to remove the works from the exhibition. The exhibition is now closed, as are the museum's two venues in Seoul due to stricter anti-sexuality regulations by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The National Museum's Seoul and Deoksoo Palace venues will remain closed until Dec. 18, while the other two, Gwangcheon in Gyeonggi Province and Cheongju in Chungchangbuk Province, will accept visitors through online reservations.
In response to the growing criticism, the museum announced its position on social media on Tuesday, stating that the museum and the artist hold different views in interpreting the work. A museum employee, who asked not to be named, said, "We are aware that the controversy over these works continues, but it is not appropriate to withdraw them at this time, and it is the museum's role to accept all kinds of criticism and opinions about the artworks. We want viewers to focus more on the message that the artist is trying to convey through the works and less on the subject matter itself."
