I have no evidence, but I've heard that, a lot of dolls that are sent back, or dumped or whatever are absolutely destroyed. Like, limbs torn off, obvious knife cuts and burns and whatnot.
On the one hand: Great, do it to a robot, and not a person. IDC.
On the other hand: I can see how that might encourage those proclivities to happen to real people.
Nobody should take my opinion seriously, as I don't know any stats, and I'm not a psychologist, but I'd guess that it can be helpful for some people, bad for others.
I've heard similar things about these sorts of robots shown off at expos. Some guys will just straight up mutilate them even if they're only left alone with them for a few minutes.
My main concerns about that, which are more concrete than speculating whether or not this behaviour maps onto how they treat real women, are how environmentally destructive this is... the emissions required to make one of these robots must be crazy and it's not likely to have a big second hand market. A lot of them would go to landfills, mutilated or not.
