An AI journal hounded by feminists for daring to use a picture of a robot maid on its cover has delivered an adroit rebuke in the form of the cover to its next issue.
The 29th volume of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (Jinkou Chinou Gakkai)’s journal featured a android maid with a broom on its cover, drawn in anime style, and was picked up by random Twitter feminists who saw the cover as “discrimination against women” and “totally creepy,” the gist of their objections being that by publishing a picture of a woman holding a broom the men behind the publication were obviously suggesting a woman’s place is in the home.
These objections were soon picked up by such bastions of investigative journalism as the Huffington Post, and soon the society had a PR storm on its hands.
The society responded with a boilerplate grovelling apology in January, stating “we apologise deeply for causing discomfort” and that it “in no way intended to suggest women should be doing the cleaning and will be deeply reflecting on its lack of consideration of such matters.”
The journal appears to have attracted more criticism for not sticking to its guns and for publishing the overly supine apology than it did for the original criticism, with many concerned that by overreacting it set a negative precedent for similar issues – not least with an established academic research society feeling it had to formally apologise solely on the basis of a few barely cogent 140 character tweets.
The journal itself is an exceedingly obscure one with limited distribution and circulation in the hundreds or thousands – although after the scandal the printers apparently ordered an additional run of several hundred copies for some reason.
The real response seems to have come in the form of the cover of the next issue, which features the same female android – but this time from her perspective, looking down on a little boy whilst reading a copy of Hegel’s “The Phenomenology of Spirit” – and received immediate acclaim for its obvious wit and thoughtfulness, and even some requests for an anime adaptation:
Don’t worry, ladies.
There will be male robot servants too. No gender discrimination, fair representation will be had in robotic servitude.
I don’t feel reduced or in anyway discriminated if I see dildos. they do stuff my dick can’t do it’s far superior than natural penises. you don’t get pregnant and they do the stuff better also w/o the usualy not so attractive male body attached to it.
Do I feel my heart riped out? no. do I want a male bot that is fully functional in any anal and vaginal intercourse. HELL YEAH!
I want to get fucked by a male bot AND want to f♥♥k a fem bot! hard!
So to all feminists (that will most likly not visit here) could we all just shut up end enjoy the powerful mind we have and all it’s bullshit that it comes up with. It seems that in your mind even teepots discriminate agains male/islam/jews/chrisitans/female/kids/polarbears/japanese … so … STFU end start to enjoy and stop trolling.
This is really stupid, what is wrong with idea with some woman better off with housework anyway?
They should understand that the housewife is a honorable job, everything she did in the house is with the best of interest of her family in mind.
She cook the food with mindset it will taste good and will be healthy to her family. Unlike some take-out food, restaurant food or fast food chain where the burger don’t decompose even after a month. They don’t give a damn about your health.
She is also the one that keep in charge of the husband and the kids physical and mental health, like urging the kids to take bath (teach discipline, morality at the same time) and comforting and bring back confidence to the husband if he have some rough time at work.
If the kids face trouble like at school, housewife will notice it immediately and seeks solution. Keep in mind woman can read emotion accurately and kids, they usually don’t talk about school problem/any problem at home. But their face usually hint they are troubled. This emotion reading ability is very useful to sense kids in trouble. A tired, working from 9 a.m to 6 p.m woman probably won’t notice the different, hence keeping the kids in deep s♥♥t. Housewife is the best solution to keep up type of hidden problem.
In the end, housewives will be the place where the kids can talk out all their problem, and the the kids will respect and treasure her since she help them a lot when they are young and helpless. No more “What, dad and mom will come to our house in Thanks Giving? Urggghh”
Housewives is also the one keep the neighborhood feels home, and not unlike people in metropolitan where nobody don’t even know their neighbor’s last name.. And perhaps people will value and respect each other more by housewives involvement, I mean the society have degraded so much that some people looking at other people die and say “They deserve to die since they are to stupid (Darwin award ring a bell?)”
A great housewife will ask and even teach her kids how to do their homework. So unlike these modern family where at 6, everyone in front of the TV watching American Idol. The kids result, getting worst and worst and become even more dumb.
Same thing apply on teaching the kids discipline, morality and the value of other people.
If you think taking care a kids as lame job, keep in mind these kids will grow up someday and can become a somebody with the correct education. The kids are the future, people. Rather having both of the parents go out and secure for the present, isn’t it better to have one at home to monitor, help and educate the kids?
Housewife is the key for more stable family structure, key to successful future and more socialized, warm, non individualistic society.
People should give all the housewives more credits, and appreciate them more.
for next cover, make a robot shaped like a human male or female that doing office work or field work
or engineers should start design welding robots that really look like a female human.
The issue that I as a feminist would have in this is the same reason why some of you same fools on this very site defend Fujioshi for having an all male IdolMaster game…
That doesn’t make any sense. On top of that most comments on this site like to attack fujoshi and anything made for them, where have you been?
