I apologize, I edited in a part to explain the difference but was late in doing so
Which is very easy to apply to the present subject
I didn't mean some elaborate BDSM thing, I just mean straightforward eroticized r___, which is also a very prevalent aspect of the "mass market vanilla cishet slop as a commodification of women's bodies aimed at incredibly boring chauvinist straight men" that you correctly cite earlier. I can go into more detail of you really want me to, but I've been trying to spare us both that.
I think I was also unusually fast in opening the inbox there - the inbox indicator changed in front of me right as I was tabbing through so I saw the post less than a minute after it was posted and missed any edits.
You're still focusing on the supposed imitation of violence as the issue, while I'm arguing that the problem is principally that it's a pathetic recreation of like the most milquetoast basic straight guy fantasy except in the form of a roomba that gives them chatbot psychosis.
I'll grant that we may just be using different rhetoric to describe fundamentally the same thing, although I'm still sticking with my prediction that this would be way more harmful to the person trying to do it than it would make them more dangerous towards others, except in the context of them becoming addicted to it and attacking someone who tries to get them to stop using it for some reason or another.
