There was a show called "My Eccentricities" in which a man named David Carter was featured. He was a man with an alternative partner, and the show said that people are increasingly inclined to be in the company of dolls that are realistic in image, fully functional, and made of materials like silicone, which we call sex dolls because they are apparently created in the image of the ideal.
Some Strange Trends
Now, this is just the latest in a string of trends that have become strange new types of marriages for many people. For example, I've featured a young Japanese man who married a virtual idol, Hatsune Miku; and a Spanish artificial intelligence expert, Sergi Santos, who married a robot of his own design; and a young Korean man who married a pillow with an anime character on it.
Synthetic Partners
Synthetic partners seem to be a growing trend. In recent years there are companies in China that specialize in the production of such synthetic partners, starting to enter the national and international perspective, such as EXDOLL, WMDOLL, ELVES, SULREBOR, etc.; there are also foreign brands made famous by the BBC documentary "Man and Doll", REALDOLLS, SINTHETICS, etc.. These trends are referred to by some as "humanoid fetishism" or "technological desire", according to wikipedia, this fascination is based on the attraction to humanoid dolls or dolls dressed as adults, we can see in online advertising, some popular anime series and music We can see such anthropomorphic images in online advertisements, some popular anime series and music videos.
Why Are Sex Dolls Mostly Female?
But what does it mean when most depictions of this fetish are from a male perspective? Why are women often depicted in robotic form? What does this tell us about our culture, gender, and orientation? Finally, how has human behavior changed as a result of these technological advances? Despite what some claim, humans react to physical dolls out of an instinctive response to abnormal, idealized, and bizarre objects, much like insects react to various heat and light sources. It is my belief that fetishism may stem from a person's desire to be controlling and passive towards a partner, although this is not the case for everyone, as there are many who would be lonely or tired of finding a partner.
But what does it seem to tell us about gender, power and culture that it does seem to be the primary consumer group of men for synthetic partners? One could argue that this overwhelming bias stems from male power, or that men are tired of female rejection and turn to physical dolls. Some conclusions can be drawn by watching some of the interviews with owners of physical dolls in the BBC documentary The men in the film, ranging from unsociable loners to jilted lovers, all seem to have psychological problems due to alienation and the inability to fulfill society's expectations of a significant other. Several of the men had partners when they were young, but then broke up and began to close themselves off from speaking to the opposite sex. Others were controlling and they chose synthetic partners because they would not disobey themselves.
Finally, one has to regret the liberating possibilities of the Cyborg Manifesto. Instead of seeing the union of man and machine as something that frees us from all forms of oppression (gender, race, age, etc.), we see the gynocentrism in artificial fetishes as short-lived, exploitative, and as a reinforcement of existing gender oppression, that is, these tendencies reinforce the objectification of women, masculinity, and controlling male behavior.
Cybernetics
The term "cybernetics" was first coined in the 1960s by two aerospace scientists using the terms "cybernetics" and "organism". Donna Haraway adapted the concept of "cybernetics" and introduced it to the study of technology and the body. She argues that the emergence of the cyborg in the late 20th century as a hybrid of machine and organism blurs the boundaries between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-development and external design, and many other boundaries that apply between organism and machine. In his book Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature, the "cyborg" is defined as "a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of the mechanical and the organic. It is a product of both social reality and fiction. The cyborg is "a new body in which a person's physical performance is mechanically expanded beyond the limits of the human body. This virtualized body provides the hardware for an individual's digital existence in cyberspace, where human-machine interactions are "represented in a way that reproduces reality or even the hyper-reality". Andy Clark adds that "cyborg" is not just a literal combination of flesh and machine, but a symbiosis of humans and technology in the deeper sense of thinking and reasoning systems, and that even if we don't have any chips, we are already cyborgs. Don Ihde believes that there is a deep desire for "complete transparency" and "complete embodiment" in the experience of embodiment, and that when technology can truly "become me", there is no need to experience it through technology. When technology can truly "become me", it is no longer necessary to experience through technology, and technology and human are one. It can be seen that the cyborg is the enhancement of the human being by the technology, a new body that transcends the limits of the human body after the performance of the human body has been expanded by the machine.
