That is some laser-precise marketing. "Are you lonely, nerd? Is the thought of actual social interaction far too much to bear? Don't want to put in the legwork to get an actual girlfriend/wife?

Better that than gnawing on it over the internet with a bunch of their fellow losers until they start coming up with names for themselves like "incels" and shooting people on the street. Hell let the state fund their sexbots if it'll keep these weirdos from buying guns and killing normal people.

Load up a Lil' Tupac and I'll bite. In all seriousness, I think the tech is neat, it's just a weird way to market it. It's pretty much like having the Enterprise's Computer in your home. Just with an anime lady.

That's a good looking assassin. I'm sure they'll get Colin Farrell to play him in the movie.

I'm pretty shocked the guy could get out his whole prepared speech before getting arrested or killed. I'd be a big old bundle of nerves after doing a political murder.

I think the assassin was a special tactics cop or something so he may have just used his badge to get close.

I don't know about special tactics, but yeah, he was a cop and apparently the security detail just looked at his references and went "yeah, go on inside." Pretty smart method for a political assassination, all things considered.
