The other side of physical dolls: the lonely pandemic of urban single youth

Kathy is a female anchor in the United States. Her videos were shot in a personal studio. It is said that half of her income now comes from content customization.

What is content customization? For any scenes ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, videos are specially made according to customer requirements. These unique, direct consumer facing content are very popular. She believes that: because creative content is easy to reproduce, and it is quickly and widely reproduced, it is difficult to capture the images in customers' minds unless they pay extra.

 

"You can't think of yourself as a plagiarist," she said. "You can't force someone to behave exactly as you want. It's more of a connection, an interaction."

 

It is worth noting that in a world where desire is rampant, even children's programs and Disney movies are full of innuendos and hints - people's desire for communication and interaction. Sadly, an ordinary person is trapped in an exploitative, dangerous and inhumane inner society. However, most personality is covered by the corrosive effect of desire, so that people are willing to pay more money for establishing intimate relations with the outside world, even if it is fleeting, tortuous and pretentious.

 

Dolls in the snow

In the booming physical doll industry, this heartbreaking desire for companionship may not be more obvious than this. Until a few years ago, many people thought it was a prank. Nowadays, physical dolls are becoming more and more popular, and even there are physical doll experience halls. In Japan, owning a physical doll seems to have become a commonplace thing.

A search on the Internet will reveal that Japan is by no means an exception to the boom in companion robots. Although most neuroscientists still claim that this is an anti human thing, robots are re anthropomorphic in some way. For example, it is reported that about 30% of the owners of physical dolls have mental problems, and they cannot communicate with others normally. But some experts assert that physical dolls will eventually help such groups learn to approach others.

 

However, is enhancing interpersonal interaction really the ultimate goal of this industry?

 

Lonely man and bear

We are an era of freedom and autonomy. We have rights and obligations; We will take and give. We believe that Thomas said "life is cruel" and Jean Paul said "others are hell". We long for love, but we may also hate relationships. We prefer camouflage, which can show the magic side of itself and visualize another self. Those who buy physical dolls can not let themselves bear the sad and regrettable form of interpersonal communication. The physical doll has nothing to do with love. It is not even the ego. It is a lonely attachment that sublimates the ego to an object.

 

Lonely Doll

The fact is that these foreign things are based on a basic lie we tell ourselves. One may ask for well-designed interactions because they are unique, but they are actually afraid of love, sharing and commitment. It is necessary to use foreign objects to cover up the fear of opening up to people and try to temporarily relieve the suffocating communication vacuum brought by his lonely life.

 

Thus, the physical doll represents the perfection of liberalism. With the rise of physical dolls, we may no longer need to know or love anyone - even ourselves.
