Somebody better hit the Like button because I've been waiting for this to come up organically for about 6 months.

I'll give it to you but I still think it was a bit shoehorned.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
In case anyone didn't know David Willis dealt with the idea of a human/robot relationship in Shortpacked! The storyline in question begins with the following strip: http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1833
Neko_Ali:
Also kind of with a transgender AI/robot. The webcomic O Human Star deals with the same subject too, in part. Though at a pace that makes Jeph or Willis seem positively speedy.
Mad Cat:
Oh, you think that was shoehorned?
What is the plural of robo-labia?

It was this post or start a new thread… somewhere.
Is it cold in here?:
(mod)Let's please maintain the impressive quality level we've had so far in this thread(/).
A sad possibility in the QC world is that since AnthroPCs used to be considered property, it would logically follow that there'd be involuntary sex work. It's the sort of thing too dark for Jeph to explore.
Also, come to think of it, off topic since that would be exploitative and not "intimate".
We can guess at the social reaction by analogy. In my country, to my country's shame, it was 1995 before a bare majority approved of marriage between parties who were both homo sapiens but of different ethnicities. http://www.gallup.com/poll/163697/approve-marriage-blacks-whites.aspx
Silicon citizens would not face the same centuries of hateful baggage but marriage to them might be a larger conceptual leap for the general population.
There would be opposition from people who are stuck with the idea of marriage being for creating and raising children ("we are working on that technology").
On the other hand, if technology advances to artificial wombs, a synthetic might even be a safer gestational parent. Egg donors are already a thing.
