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'
Just like us.
However, Sid's toys were plenty played with and they were constantly traumatized.
They weren't being played with in their intended way. I'm sure the toy story sex dolls would be miserable if they were just dressed up and used to drive in the carpool lane.
now there's a villain arc!!
Yeah, being tortured by some sociopath "playing" with you generally doesn't work out well
I honestly feel like Sid gets a bad wrap. Like, yeah, he's a bit of a dick to his sister and doesn't have much respect for other people's possessions, but he's also a kid and at his age those things are entirely environmental. Hes also incredibly creative and capable. I'm pretty confident that, even as an adult with a well above average skill in fabrication, I wouldn't be able to make that erector set spider baby without researching it. Plus, he's got Barbie legs on a fishing pole, he's swapping the heads of dolls and dinosaurs, there's no way those things are going together without custom joints.
Yeah, he's horrifically maimed a bunch of sentient beings, but he wasn't aware they were sentient and they're all still living beings, even the fishing pole which would have been inanimate like other tool toys. He literally gave life to a toy that didn't have it. Kid should get some credit.
FYI it's "bad rap" (rap being an accusation or blame, think like how a rap sheet outlines the bad stuff you've done). A bad wrap is something you'd get at a restaurant.
Not OP but thanks. I always thought it was rep for reputation
Also the "doll modding" community is a thing that exists and takes a lot of skill to do well.
I came across it briefly while making a body for my kids toy monkey skull and the craftsmanship is intense. Little concerning that a lot of the 3day prints come with fully detailed anatomy, but I'm not here to kink shame.
From what I remember, kind of putting the subtle hints together; his dad isn't exactly a good role model. I think I wrote about this before, but there's a good read between the lines indication of abuse, trauma, and neglect. I might be over-thinking it but having worked in education, I've seen that kind of behavior.
As an employee in the mental health field, he absolutely gives undiagnosed adhd with bad home life. Like, he's basically a characiture of some of my patients.
Agreed.
That absolutely covers a large part of sex dolls too though... there's gotta be a pretty major overlap of people who own sex dolls and people who are into things that would traumatise a conscious being.
This would be a good plot for an anime.
No. No it wouldn't.
OK, maybe more hentai than anime.
"Plot" might be to strong of a word
Have you seen what generally passes for a plot in hentai?
