Posted by San Toelle Ul Shichikokuyama-g on 10.16.2013, 08:56 PM: ... if it profits, then of course companies will do whatever they can to maximize income. Moguls will stop at nothing to create larger fanbases and sell products for those fanbases. If life sized dolls rack in money, is there a reason not to? I personally don't support those creepy life sized manikins but whatever. It's a means of business. Just like I don't condone fangirls my age buying life sized cardboard cutouts of Justine Bieber, but the stores that sell them make a decent profit, as they're ~40 dollars each.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.16.2013, 09:24 PM: Are you talking about these life-like dolls? I find them just incredibly creepy because the faces and bodies are so realistic, but then there seems to be a market for them. I can only conclude there are some lonely people out there who are more comfortable playing out fantasies with a pretend person than finding a real partner. Its not something I find too hard to empathise with either.

Posted by husky51 on 10.17.2013, 07:30 PM: Well, the first answer to your question that came to mind was, "A Bieber Fan"... lol

Posted by San Toelle Ul Shichikokuyama-g on 10.17.2013, 10:29 PM: Yeah, I was thinking that because his fanbase is so neurotic and obsessed. There's so much stuff with his stupid face on it everywhere and it really bothers me. |
Posted by Saddletank on 10.17.2013, 11:03 PM: I wouldn't classify the Vocaloids phenomenon in the same argument with the life-like dolls issue at all; I think for the most part the life-like dolls are sex toys, or romantic companions for people unable to find real companionship.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.18.2013, 04:32 PM: This really isn't a topic for the anime section. Clearly your main concern is over much wider issues. It should be moved to General Discussion.

Posted by saviour2012 on 10.20.2013, 03:18 AM: Lets ask a simple question is it correct for artist to express human in different form other than real life.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.20.2013, 01:07 PM: Whether any action is right or wrong is entirely subjective. The nazis annexing the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland in 1936 was a good thing, if you were a German National Socialist.

Posted by Mush on 10.20.2013, 03:16 PM: Is the colour green right or wrong? Is there something incorrect about an ellipse? Is it right to paint a clay pot? Are squares better than triangles? Is linear perspective a sin?
|
Posted by saviour2012 on 10.21.2013, 04:51 AM: Yeah the color green might be wrong when it is a artificial pigment (is toxic) that is painted on a apple which will be fed to a child.an ellipse maybe wrong when it is a trajectory/path/orbit of a big asteroid that is going to hit earth.So the other examples.Got the point.
