Greta Thunberg Sex Doll

If you’re anything like me, or even remotely human, the above title probably would have triggered a gut-wrenching feeling of disgust. I’d like to calm you all down by first stating that the doll was not produced in the end.

Hate or love her, Greta Thunberg is undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures today. The now 17 year old activist took various stances and made her voice heard. Nevertheless, she has also received a gigantic amount of backlash and harassment by users online. While many criticize her comments as vain and uneducated, the lovely underground users of Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and so on have managed to ridicule the young activist. Many have made fun of her disability while others simply labelled her as an attention-seeking child.

One user however took a more extreme stance against the Swede. A Reddit user, who was deleted shortly after making the post, claimed he had designed a sex doll modelled after Thunberg, claiming that he programmed it to say “How Dare You” and other statements from Thunberg’s infamous speeches.

Yes, this is rather disturbing. However, as aforementioned, no company was eager enough to produce the doll. Thankfully. Regardless, this whole viral fiasco made two previously obscure questions clearer than carved crystal.

The first question to be explored is obviously the question of minors. Should sex dolls be allowed to impersonate minors. a 2008 study by Michael Seto of the Royal Ottawa Healthcare Group revealed that about 5% of the general population have a certain attraction to minors. This upper-estimate was done by analyzing the physical reactions (pulse, blood pressure, blood flow to sexual organs) of random adult population samples to pictures of various individuals from different age groups. While this statistic is absolutely mind-boggling, it is important to note that number drops to less than 1% if pre-pubescent children are considered. Nevertheless, there is a significant portion of the population attracted to children and teens. Should this portion be allowed to order custom sex dolls mimicking minor populations? Personally, I believe this should be illegal. Nevertheless, illegal activities always prevail. Should people having intercourse with minor sex dolls receive the same penalizations as having sex with minors?

The second question that arises is the question of impersonations. Should people be allowed to order sex dolls imitating real individuals. Whether those individuals are celebrities, or just your average citizens, I personally believe that this huge invasion of privacy should be strictly prohibited. However, I do believe it is inevitable.

EXTRA: I hope everyone is doing fine in this post-apocalyptic week we’re experiencing. As you probably know we should be trying to interact as much as possible through the blogs. I tried to leave many loose-ends in this post so that we can try to have our own little debate in the comments. So let me know what you all think, we can try to get a thread going.
