May, what do your release terms say about taking up prostitution?
Technically I suppose since she hasn't got the right bits downstairs (she mentioned, both in hologram and RL form that she's built like a Barbie girl), this doesn't count as a sex act and therefore it's not prostitution. It's also possible that the release terms overlooked it for the same reason. Though it's more likely that she's prevented from 'engaging in illegal activities' or similar legal wording which would only make it a problem if prostitution is illegal in Northampton. Anyone who knows?

I suppose it boils down to 'intent'. Pintsize gave money for something analogous for sexual services so that's what it was, irrespective of whether May was practically able to provide them. One issue the probationbot would look at is whether May has been making a habit of this. However, if she's kept her nose metaphorically clean since release, it would increase the likelihood of the probation service looking the other way so long as she was not arrested and they are confident it is a one-off thing (and I'm pretty sure it will be).

FWIW, this strip is in character for both principles. We know that Pintsize has a mad fascination for sexual activities. May, also, seems to be curious about human sexuality (at least on a biological level). What we thus have is basically a couple of synthetic teens experimenting...

Or possibly a Dirty Old Bot corrupting someone who is emotionally and intellectually a minor. :-\

This comic with May sitting on Pintsize's face rated a 3.3 on my Weird-Shit-O-Meter.

Considering its calibration, that's pretty damn high.

We know she has held a job with access to large amounts of money, so presumably a legal adult.

It doesn't matter what the law is, it matters what her probation officer thinks it is.

My personal experience is about zero, but allegedly prostitution may be associated with exploitation of the vulnerable and/or drug problems. Arguably a good probation officer *should* be concerned if their client becomes involved with it, legal or not. After all rehabilitation is part of a probation officer's responsibilities. 

I 'm not sure whether the fine detail of which appendages and/or orifices are involved is that important. If attempted sexual gratification is being provided in exchange for money  its a different game to say two teenagers experimenting.

I think it falls under general xenophilia, which would be a catch-all.

This begs the question of whether or not this is actually prostitution. Leaving aside whether robots can have sexual contact (does my laptop get aroused when I put a CD in it? Is it sexual when I insert the hose into my car at the gas station?), the whole joke of the comic is that neither May nor Pintsize are being gratified by this silly combination.

But I'll go further. Suppose we say this is something beyond simulated sexuality. What compelling state interest is there in prohibiting it? Who is being harmed? Why stop consenting adults from engaging in consensual sex acts which harm no one, even if there is money involved?

The horrible things that happen because of prostitution notwithstanding, ALL your questions fully apply to real-life prostitution and the debate of whether it should be legal or not...

It can be argued that illegal prostitution is the worst possible thing for the safety, respectability, financial and economic status, and general well-being of prostitutes. I have yet to see a compelling argument against legal prostitution, especially as it is my strong conviction that making prostitution illegal is *never* a means to eliminate prostitution, once it is illegal it is ignored unless it is specifically required to act against a prostitute. Prostitution is still alive and well, it's not even fought against all that hard. But there's a way to attack someone and dehumanise them, including by the state/law enforcement/system, because they engage in sex work.

It's a tool of oppression and control, not a tool of protection, based on any and all evidence I've seen. It's a "have your cookie and eat it too" approach that allows for the marginalization, vilification, divide-and-conquering of sex workers while still making the profession thrive, catering to the needs of prostitutes' clients (who are rarely punished as harshly OR despised as much as the prostitutes themselves, despite the fact that this attitude makes no sense), *and* forcing many people into sex work, either againts their will or semi-against their will. And while they are harmed this way, they are still seen as the source of the problem by the average Joe, because they engage in a "bad" thing (the fact that they may not actually willingly choose to being usually completely glossed over).

Granted, I brought real life into a comic discussion, but I think it's a pretty interesting point of discussion to come from once you abstract this into robots. The question "who is being harmed?" here is quite obvious because the element of physical stimulation is gone or blurred, as are most of the social and psychological entanglements that are there for humans.

But once you insert those into the mix again, carefully enough, the questions you ask are still relevant. Not as clear-cut, because sex-related stuff does result in harm to people, but I don't think the core of the problem becomes changed in any meaningful way.

And now I done and opened a can of worms... I do wish robot sexuality was more explored in the comic, as silly as this comic is. I think one of the best things about fiction is what it can say about real life. This goes especially for sci-fi.

Why stop consenting adults from engaging in consensual sex acts which harm no one,
This all depends on your definitions of adult, consent and harm, all of which have been radically different in different societies and cultures. As I don't look around me and see that I'm in a perfect society, and as I'm just about old enough to have witnessed significant changes in how those three words are used, I think it unwise to be too dogmatic about what is right and wrong. I think it reasonably safe, however, to predict that in 40 years time some aspects of the current anglo american liberal consensus (to whatever extent it exists) will be regarded as very peculiar indeed, but I have no idea which ones. I certainly would have failed to predict current interpretations when I was 18. In the unlikely event I'm still around (please no) I shan't much care!

FWIW, this strip is in character for both principles. We know that Pintsize has a mad fascination for sexual activities. May, also, seems to be curious about human sexuality (at least on a biological level). What we thus have is basically a couple of synthetic teens experimenting...

Or possibly a Dirty Old Bot corrupting someone who is emotionally and intellectually a minor. :-\

Pintsize being the Dirty Old Bot, yes?

It's alright, I clicked it shortly after posting that. I wasn't seriously worried, just wanted to make the joke.

I still have my copy of Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl on DVD.  8-)

Why stop consenting adults from engaging in consensual sex acts which harm no one,
This all depends on your definitions of adult, consent and harm, all of which have been radically different in different societies and cultures.

Blah blah blah, pretty sure no harm, fictional or otherwise, was done to either character in this particular comic. Except maybe to the sensibilities of a few readers.  :police:

I have a thing for women of color - and by that I mean red, blue, green, grey (Oh Chiana!), alien skin colors essentially - so this is basically fanservice as far as I'm concerned.  ;)

By the way, does anyone know if there's a name for that particular fetish?  I don't think it quite falls under "furry".

Star Trek fan? http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Orion_slave_girl

I do believe that was likely the origin of that little fetish, reinforced many years later by certain comic book characters like She-Hulk and Mystique, sci-fi characters like (as mentioned) Farscape's Chiana, and more recently races in Star Wars: The Old Republic, like Chiss and Sith Trueblood skin colors.

By the way, does anyone know if there's a name for that particular fetish?  I don't think it quite falls under "furry".
Yes.

*waves hand* This is not the fetish you're looking for.

Correct. It is arguable that this is the role in life for which he was compiled.

All past comics are canon, but if you're going to bring it up the way I think you are...

Poll Result Post

1. Hannelore (Rich; Uncorruptable; Fastidious; Possibly a Stalker) - 24 (32.9%)
2. Bubbles (Valorous Service; Now Helps People) - 16 (21.9%)
3. Dora (Moderately Successful Businesswoman; Will Enforce 'Red Lines') - 9 (12.3%)
4. Faye (Tough on People; Tough on the Causes of People) - 6 (8.2%)
=5. Claire (Already Vetted by The Library of Congress) - 4 (5.5%)
=5. Beatrice Chatham (Might as Well Make it Official) - 4 (5.5%)
7. Brun (Never Late for a Press Conference) - 3 (4.1%)
=8. Marten (Mr Good Natured Mild-Temper) - 2 (2.7%)
=8. Corpse Witch (A Career Criminal Probably Knows What it Takes to Run a Country) - 2 (2.7%)
=8. Bleminda (No History = No Skeletons in the Cupboard) - 2 (2.7%)
11. Pintsize (Because Congress Needs More Cheerfully Unapologetic Creeps) - 1 (1.4%)
X. Renee (Disliked but Generous to Those In Need) - 0 (0%)

Well, I would say we don't need to worry about recounts and 'hanging chads' this time around; Hannelore won this one by a wide margin. I don't know if she'd clean up government, but I'm sure that she'd make sure that hall of the the House of Representatives was spotlessly clean! I won't even go to what she'd do to her unfortunate fellow Representatives!

Just a note: I don't really have any ideas for this week, so if someone else wants to do the coming week's WCDT, please be my guest.

Still, Hannelore would have a hell of a campaign slogan. "My name is Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham. I end messes."
