Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3691-3695 (5-9 March 2018)
BenRG:
Yeah, I noticed. It must be something - either data files or weirdly-arranged electrical charges - that cause mild intoxications in AIs.
JRDelirio:
And of course the "older" AI who joined the Police picked the name "O'Malley"... or is that just what Roko calls him in her Bostonian fit to emphasize he's being a bit stereotypical?
Poor Pintsize, life is not porn, you don't just jump straight to the shoving things in faces bit. But maybe that is his point and he's bravely trying to normalize it... and fortunately failing.
heyjames4:
Taking surreal gags about robots and/or sex and treating it too seriously is basically how Questionable Content came to be in the first place. Nice to see the strip getting back to its roots.
NemesisDancer:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Mar 2018, 22:54 ---That aside, it is interesting that, as with Momo, we here have a synthetic with an actual sex drive, of sorts. Yes, she wants companionship but she wants this to include physical intimacy of some kind. Okay, so she is into the misuse of bread products in a big way but, given that robot sex is done by data packet transfer, any physical element to it is going to take on the form of a kink of one sort or another! That's the point here, of course. I don't think O'Malley has the need for an intimate inter-personal relationship (I imagine that's not uncommon amongst Synthetics) whilst Roko does indeed want both a companion and a lover in one package.
--- End quote ---
This does make me wonder whether, now that Faye knows there's such thing as a robot dating website, she might bring it up in conversation with Bubbles (as per their recent chat about whether Bubbles is interested in dating).
Stoutfellow:
I find it interesting that some AIs (Momo, perhaps Bubbles) are romantically or sexually attracted to humans, while others (Roko, the two robots at the old Fight Club, perhaps Pintsize) are attracted to other AIs. (Pintsize is difficult to classify - cf. his groping of Faye, way back when - and I have no idea where to put May.)
