We can imagine that the physical doll is a real person

Can physical dolls become real people? In fact, many people have an ideal lover in their hearts. But the contrast between ideals and reality can create a huge contrast. Many men cannot find their ideal partners in real life. Some men even have psychological barriers that prevent them from chatting with women, just like Raj in the Big Bang Theory was unable to communicate and talk to women in a conscious state.

Why do we consider physical dolls as real people

The appearance of a physical doll is exactly the same as a real person, but many people cannot see her as a real person. A physical doll is a soulless person who does not speak in response to you, nor does he have your opinions or other aspects. Suggestion. She is a lifeless object made of silicone resin, devoid of human consciousness and soul. But in the eyes of some people, these physical dolls are not fake individuals, but exist in our lives. They cannot find themselves in life, and physical dolls help them understand themselves and no longer feel lonely.

Actually, this is not a disease, but our human instinct. We always yearn for beautiful ideals and conceal the misfortunes of life. Long term accumulation can cause psychological burden, and we can no longer face this reality. The physical doll simulates the tactile sensation and appearance of reality, providing us with spiritual support. It can always be the object of our company, and no matter what happens in the future, the physical doll will not betray us. The Love of Inflatable Dolls tells such a story.

Ras and the Real Girl

Look! She will chat with me

The movie 'Love of Inflatable Dolls' tells such a story. Ras is a single otaku. When he was born, his mother left him due to difficult childbirth. When he lacked maternal love, he grew up with an introverted personality, a sense of loneliness, and faced his brother-in-law. Shouting enthusiastically and asking without taking it seriously. Wrap yourself up thick every day, avoid physical contact with people, shrink into your own world like a hedgehog, and refuse intimate contact with your beautiful colleague Margo.

However, Lars, who keeps a distance from the people around him, has a special fondness for simulating the inflatable doll Bianca. Lars chats with Bianca and takes her to parties. Lars prepares dinner for Bianca, and when the weather is clear, she takes her for a walk in the forest in the suburbs. They still kiss in the forest, and Lars even wants to marry her in the church, as if Bianca has never done so. It is not a dead object made of plastic. In Lars' eyes, Bianca is no different from real people.

Lars is sick, it's just a fantasy. Fortunately, with the help of psychiatrist Dagmar and the collaboration of a group of kind-hearted people around him, Las was finally cured. This is a warm and heartwarming story. As Dagmar said in the movie, mental disorders are sometimes not necessarily a disease, they may also be a way to exercise in desperate situations where patients are looking for a way out. When Las began to break free from his closed self, it was when he consciously passed away compared to Bianca.

Ras has finally returned to the real world, but the key question is, is he really happy when he returns to reality? Bianca's entire life was a utopia. He can talk to Bianca about all his misfortunes and find absolute truth and ideal existence. When Las finally realized that Bianca was not a real person, he lost his absolute sense of security and once again exposed himself to society. All reality will push him towards the world again and again, pushing him into a corner.

When Ras realized that Bianca was no longer a real person, we could say that he had returned to a normal life. The question is, what is normal and what is abnormal? Is what we define as normal really normal? Is the mental disorder we define really crazy?

Is fantasy a disease

When we use 'symptoms' to describe behavior, it means it is already a disease. Delusions are hallucinations that occur in the auditory organs and are a common symptom in psychiatric patients, especially in schizophrenia. The explanation of its causes in psychology is that it is a form of expression about the subconscious and self suggestion.

You have a strong desire for something, but it cannot be immediately realized or happen in reality. Then, in the right half of the brain, there will be an illusion that only you can see and hear. If this is serious, it will be disconnected from reality. For example, most people with mental illnesses fantasize about the absence of reality.

Therefore, for patients with "inflatable doll fantasy", full-size physical dolls are not dolls made of plastic or silicone, but real people. Look! She will chat with me and generate emotions and emotional reactions. All these outsiders cannot see or hear at all, they are just the patient's own imagination and hallucinations. Just like the roommate Nash created in 'Beautiful Mind'. In fact, due to fantasy, it is similar to Lars' "I Want to Date an Inflatable Doll", which is probably rare, but it is also a possible explanation.

Finally, let me say something off topic. In the eyes of 'normal people', these individuals with 'quirks' are' abnormal ', and they may feel like they have a' sick brain ', a kind of' anomaly '. Therefore, in their eyes, what we call "normal people" and "lunatics" are they not? However, the 'abnormality' of a few of them endured the 'normal' ridicule of most of us. There must be a reason. If these people's actions did not harm us, they would feel happy doing so. Why should we ridicule or even mock their right to pursue happiness? The public needs to be more tolerant towards them.

Therefore, when we see news again about "men watching movies with sex dolls" and "girls dressed up as young girls are actually boys", we can slightly suppress our inner discrimination and replace it. Because they are all people who need the care of this world!

Homosexuals can be gradually removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Perhaps one day, what about fetishism, disguise fetishism, and the "love syndrome of physical dolls"? With the development of artificial intelligence, when creating a more advanced "inflatable doll" that is indistinguishable from real people, it also has emotional and interactive functions, and perhaps love for them will become a part of daily life. After all, every boy has a perfect lover in his heart, how do you know that you won't fall in love with young physical dolls in the future? May every type of 'alien' be treated gently.
