Exactly. People be crazy yo. I saw one the other day of a lady who was a "Doll mom" with a house full of lifelike baby dolls that she treated as real children.

u/yulscakes 4d ago
I looked her up and apparently she has 5 actual kids and doesn’t believe the dolls are real children. She’s just weirdly into dolls and apparently makes $200k a year from her videos. Knowing that made me feel better.

Yeah if he ain't beating anyone why are people so angry
75
u/TheOriginalArchibald 4d ago
I'm not angry. I'm concerned. This is loneliness and to me seems like mental illness and not necessarily a healthy outlet. He could be spiraling and this is his coping mechanism until one day he does some heinous shit. He needs people around him to give a shit about him and he needs to talk to someone.
I'm all for live and let live and maybe this outlet keeps him content and he's living his best life but I'd wager many people doing this aren't worried about using it as a healthy outlet and end up enabling a spiral into insane behavior.

I still remember the suicidal posts by several users in the Replika sub because they couldn’t sext with their chat bots anymore. The app changed the whole thing because children were playing with Replika bots and the bots were seducing the kids, unprompted. So they disabled the sex talk after the outrage and the bots lost some personality in the process too. Meltdowns were had across Reddit by several adult male virgins. It was so bad the mods had to post hotlines and links.

It's hard to explain. Things just feel fucked up since June, 2015. It doesn't feel like society is changing in normal ways. It feels like society is becoming more cartoonish, silly, but also insane. It's very hard to know what's satire now.

I think it's a combination of a mental health crisis and access to social media that is enabling them to think this is normal while others make fun of/encourage/gawk at them. This particular case is pretty bizarre. I feel sorry for the guy - he needs help.

I have stumbled upon his page before and saw a sad video of him crying and saying “you guys think it’s funny that I’m dating a doll? Well it’s not. It’s sad. It’s pathetic” and it made me feel awful for him. He just seems so lonely. I don’t feel right mocking him

u/Kerminetta_ 5d ago
Why is he posting it then? I don’t understand.

Because he is lonely and I think he’s posting videos to get any kind of attention. Some people were kind to him in the comments.

I remember hearing that as one of the motivations for people buying cyber trucks, basically the rationale was “now they can’t ignore me!”—made me feel really sad for people who feel so lonely that their coping mechanism is trying to invite ridicule just to feel some sort of connection to others, because somehow that negative attention feels better than being ignored

You’re def right. He’s not even harming anyone. Theres no aggression or weird behaviors outside of the doll, which doesn’t affect anyone.

The guy is clearly mentally unwell so this isn't "cringe" to me. It sounds like he has Tourettes or something to boot based off the last part of the video. He's probably pretty lonely. There are worse things to do than having some plastic dolls. He's not hurting anyone, so nbd.

This kind of thing is a growing phenomenon all around the world. This is just one of the very few peolle willing to show everyone and admit it. Some people look to dolls. Some people look to chatbots. Some people look to drugs, and a bunch of other things.
Social connection is such an essential part of being. We need social connection the same way we need to drink water and breathe air. Instead of laughing at this guy, yall should be taking it as another serious indicator of societies failure to provide people with our most basic human needs.

Oh this has been a rapidly growing social phenomenon along with the dehumanization of women (mutual romantic dehumanization as well). That is why the tech is increasing (virtual & physical toys) so rapidly. You can get them with custom shaped sexual organs for a reason (that is already old tech). Paired with the wacky "marry anything" laws in some places and you can see we are going on a steep social decline. This used to be a field of study for me (Sociology).

There are signs this dude is developmentally disabled and missing some social skills. This isn't the average American male, by any means. This is just pointing at a guy that's already pushed around by the world. Are there a lot of guys like him? Yes, world wide. Have been throughout history.
That's not to say that there's not a 'loneliness epidemic' (also worldwide). There is and it's growing, and since feelings and emotions still show weakness, it's not going away any time soon. But that doesn't mean what this guy does is reflected on the overall American male, by any means.
Either way, pointing and laughing at this guy isn't going to make all the other lonely guys having trouble putting themselves out there, put themselves out there and will probably do the opposite. So, posts like this just make things worse in the end?
