Poll: Would you love a robot?

[zombiejoe]

If it's sapient (which I think is probably what you meant by sentient) then it's a person. If it's a person, you can fall in love with it. I don't see any reason why not. Particularly if it's a sexy robot.

No, I mean it knows that it exists. Sentient.

 

[Abedeus]

Dirty robosexuals!

...Oh Gurren Lagann, hold me ti-

SHUT UP!

 

[zombiejoe]

He hungers in his secret dreams
for the harsh embrace of cruel machines
But his lover is not what she seems
and she will not leave a note

I wonder who [if anyone] will get this..

OT: Sure, as long as it was a perfect facsimile and possessed free will. The choice to love me back, or not.
It would be human, essentially. I think the line is drawn at the psyche, not the body.

What is that from?

 

[T-Bone24]

I'd be fine with a robot friend, but robosex seems like some kind of cross-species act to me, not to mention a fruitless enedeavour.

 

[zombiejoe]

This is my answer sir if i can that is...

lol I think that's where I got one of my options for the thread

 

[AloriD]

If there were robots capable of human emotions, I think that the human species would die out. Robots would be almost superior than us, and if humans DID date robots, how would we reproduce?

 

[Therumancer]

Quite possibly, it's not a major fetish or anything, but I've been reading about stuff like that in Issac Asimov novels since I was a kid. People falling in love with (and invariably having sex with) things like robots, aliens, etc... are all classic science fiction concepts and I have no problem with envisioning it or thinking it could potentially happen to me.

I think the problem with the idea on the internet is people get ridiculously wierd about it, like getting to the point where they only way they can become aroused or enjoy porn or whatever is if it involves a furry, or an alien, or a robot or whatever. Despite how it might sound, I'm fairly tolerant of such things, and can enjoy some of the artwork as intended, but I can't see how people can form an actual sexual identity around something that doesn't exist.

On a final note, while I have watched quite a bit of Anime (and been a much bigger fan in the past than I currently am for some reason), I think the subject matter has been handled best in books. I just haven't seen much visual media like games, movies, anime, or comics that have ever done it well. Aside from Asimov and some of his stuff, I think perhaps the best "Robot Romance" was probably the one with Sheen (which actually starts with sex and then develops from there) from Piers Anthony's "Adept" series.

There was an entire Futurama episode like that.

 

[Kortney]

Probably leaning towards "no", but if it is attractive and I can fuck it I'd have a think about it.

Can I fuck it? Sex is an important part in a relationship.

'If it bleeds, you can fuck it.'

Wait.. I got that quote horribly, horribly wrong..

Hahahahaha.

Interesting points. But Mass Effect does well with alien romance. Robot romance? No.

lol there are no sex robots in mass effect.

 

[Simon Hadow]

Intriguing concept. Right now I'm thinking that it's something I would do, but something tells me it would be one of those "Don't know until the situation actually arises" things

 

[crudus]

I already love my computer. A real robot that can talk to mee wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Can I fuck it? Sex is an important part in a relationship.

'If it bleeds, you can fuck it.'

Wait.. I got that quote horribly, horribly wrong..

Works for me!

I'm sorry, I don't watch Adult Swim. I think it's rather stupid.

The only thing it's good for is Robot Unicorn Attack.

 

[careful]

if it passes the turing test [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test] then sure why not

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I dunno... seems kinda weird... especially since it would live forever...

Futurama went off of adult swim a loooooonnngggg time ago.

lol, yes Robot Unicorn Attack is epic.

My mistake, was poorly written. I meant robots in visual media, not aliens which has been done pretty well in numerous places (including Star Trek).

I am aware of some of the plotlines involving characters like Data (also from Star Trek) but I never thought it was done especially well, especially seeing as while the character was interesting to me as a jaded science fiction nerd (when when I was a kid and "Next Generation" had launched) I thought the whole "Robot who wants to be human" thing was a bit over done. "Armitage III" made a noble attempt (anime) but seemed to be missing something .

That's just my opinion though.

Like I said, I don't watch Adult Swim. It's also because Futurama scared me. The first and only episode I watched and they're were people having sex in it. That's traumatizing to an nine-year-old.

 

[EinTheCorgi]

Well I guess,Though I would want a son/daughter eventually and I don't think I can get a robot/android/cyborg what ever pregnant soooo maybe.

Hmmmm, interesting.

Search up the Twilight Zone episode "the lonely"

I haven't seen it yet, but it is about a prisoner who falls in love with an andriod. Maybe it's good?

lol
