Talk:Robosexuality
A source for the title?[change source]
I wouldn't know where to begin looking if this article had to be moved, but could we have a reliable source for the page name? MindTheGap (talk) 17:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- From the en:wp page Robot fetishism, http://www.metro.co.uk/metrosexual/article.html?in_article_id=36440 -- Creol(talk) 18:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- I can see that references technosexuality but not robosexuality. Not too much of a problem, unless creating the phrase here is considered original research. Though Robosexuality seems better than the EN version "Robot fetishism". Thanks MindTheGap (talk) 18:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, Robosexuality would be preferable to 'robot fetish'. And there is currently a redirect from 'robosexuality' on EN to 'robot fettish'. I havent looked around for this much, but I know it exists... here is something i found quickly on wikia:[1]... if we need more references I can go hunt some down later :) Benniguy talk•changes 18:48, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

- the actual quote:

Bender: You really want a robot for a friend? |

The Futurama quote is all well and good, but that only shows what Robosexuality means in a fantasy world, not a real world environment. There are only slightly more than 1,0000 Ghits but for the sake of not introducing complex terms I suppose we will have to let this one go. MindTheGap (talk) 19:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps the idea of the unclarity could be incoorporated into the article? That way, the reader would know both sides of the view. Benniguy talk•changes 19:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Coinciding sexualities[change source]
The reason I am keeping the section for sexualities is because - in an article that specifically discusses sexual attraction to robots - showing how it's also a subset of hetero-, homo-, or other sexualities is valid and relevant. If the IP editor who keeps removing the section would care to comment and start a dialog, it would be much appreciated. --Lithorien Talk • Changes 04:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
