Better than an actual woman being mutilated and maimed though surely?

Gateway drug. Normalising the behaviour. Unacceptable.

I think it's deeply disturbing that they act out violence on these dolls that they would like to act out on real human women. They banned the importation of child sex dolls for a reason, that it would normalise behaviour that would then get acted out in the real world, so.....

We need a matriarchy asap. Women aren’t perfect but can’t see this happening the other way round. Women buying teenage boy
dolls to beat up. Wouldn’t happen.

Have you read the article?
Many of these dolls end up mutilated, maimed, some are ordered to specifically have the face of an actual existing person

Men are so weird.

Men are so vile … is there no level they won’t stoop to in order to empty their Balls?

All of this, porn, dolls etc is incredibly damaging on the psyche.

How is anyone going to have a healthy relationship with a real person once they’ve mutilated a doll that looks like a person?

I think its deeply concerning. Ordering a sex doll to look like someone specific, with bruising and then to dispose of you can 'act out your chainsaw massacre fantasy'.

I think it’s disturbing

I did read it, but i don't really see what outlawing cruelty to dolls will achieve. People will still have the fantasies - the dolls are not the cause of it. And I do think that policing people's fantasies is a little bit odd.

But this is worrying.
A wank isn’t good enough, so they watch porn which is increasingly violent . That isn’t scratching the itch, so interactive sites. That’s not good enough, so now there’s dolls which can be maimed, bruised and made to look like a person. This is worrying

YABU. A new level of prudery when we start legislating for people's fantasies and sex toys.

Just read this harrowing article. I think these dolls should be illegal.

Why? Don't men just use them for a wank? Like a dildo but bigger.
