Regardless of which feelings you felt they pulled it off. You felt compassion for a piece of hardware built for human sexual pleasure. You wouldn't have felt like that about a FleshLight if it spoke back to you. It needed the powerful emotions on display that we saw here.
It's a similar feeling if it looked like some company was going to publish a Nazi sex camp rape simulator game.
It is the same awkward feeling I get about the Japanese rape and sex game simulators.
The whole thing feels like a thin veneer over someones sex fantasy being masqueraded as a social acceptable story.
I feel embarrassed that women out there have to see this crap and realize that still how some men view/want to see them, and that they have to live in a world where people think there's nothing wrong with that.
Because I can't really judge the dynamic without something to compare it against.
