Winslow would do excellently in a Soft Boy McElroy

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 03 Aug 2017, 18:49 ---I've heard people use the term, and despite looking it up on urbandictionary, I'm still not sure what a "softboy" is.
Edit: Oh, ok, now I've just read a few articles about softboys and holy shit, I hate this fucking world.

Could you give a summary so I don't have to wade through UrbanDictionary?

Urban dictionary wasn't helpful, it was basically just a weird combination of a "nice guy" and a fuckboy. I'm not really sure if that's helpful, because now that I think about it, I still don't know if I understand what a softboy is. It's just not a good thing to be, apparently.

Sorry for the double post:
Soft boy, and that model in particular, is a reference to Griffin McElroy who does the My Brother My Brother and Me podcast and now TV show, Rose Buddies podcast, and a ton of shows on Polygon.com including such series as Car Boys. Jeph references him a lot recently.
The "soft boy" in question.
It's legitimately an homage to him, and Griffin uses it as a flattering term for a genuinely nice, gentle, positive person.

comicalArchitect:
I'm seriously so excited to see human Winslow. My guess is that they'll continue on Momo's trend by having his chassis look somewhat young; it would be weird to see an adult with Winslow's personality.
Perfectly Reasonable:
This is a science fictional universe. AIs can develop relationships that make sense to them, but have no resemblance to human ones. (Ok Jeph, there's your challenge.)
Petite purple-haired sales rep looks like she's wearing a chassis similar to Momo's.
Looks like we don't get to see Charlotte today. Dang.
QuestionableIntentions:
What would really be interesting of course would be chassis that change personality or intelligence a la Eclipse Phase
