What about video games? Company mascots/logos? Where is the line drawn? What isn't sapient in the Disney/Pixar cinematic universe?

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

MODERATORS
This is a shower thought, but it's also cursed.
How did this ridiculously stupid question devolve into a discussion about rape? I've screenshot this whole page of comments, and some comments are far beyond disturbing. Watch it Lemmy.world - get rid of your bot moderators, because this thread has truly gone too far.
This doesn't answer your question and is only tangentially related but when an opportunity comes up to share this you don't want to sleep on it.
This site is simply another social media sewer. Time to leave this crap hole to the rats.
Maybe this is what they live for. They know their purpose and they love their people just like Woody loves Andy.
Imagine a movie plot where Sarah moves to a new state and forgets her vibrator collection. She doesn’t realize it yet but all the vibrators team up to embark on a madcap adventure to reunite with Sarah. On the way they they find a sad discarded buttplug with no owner and they bring him into the gang only to find out that he used to belong to Sarah’s lesbian lover who she’s moving to be with.
The premise of the question horrified me, you made it better. Thank you.

Well, as far as I remember, the real toys liked being played with, and were even sad when they weren’t played with. So… theoretically sex dolls would also like being “played” with
They like being used for what they were designed for. Playing or 'playing'

Because I hate the implication I have just created new head canon for my own sake. It’s the power of a child imagination and play that brings the toys to life. That’s why the fork comes to life in the fourth movie
So if a child found one abandoned and somehow innocently played with it enough then it would come to life but when used for an adults self-gratification it would not have the requisite for life.
I will not be taking questions on the plothole of why new in box toys are alive
Then why are the buzzes still in package aware in toy story 2?

They were all made in sweatshops by children, no plot hole. ☹️
