shifts awkwardly

just pathetic on every single front, irresponsible and angering. hope the family of the REAL mimi find solace because this film just glosses over it. ugh

imagine coming to the realisation, face-to-face mind you, that your son is a fucking degenerate

I am having difficulty determining an appropriate star rating for this, so I am leaving it blank for now.

I don't think this documentary told us nearly enough about Chris as a person pre-AI sexbot for me to come to a conclusion about his intentions. I think the framing of the documentary and its blasé approach to contextualising 'Mimi' and the real woman the name was inspired by (a woman Chris was once involved with, in one way or another, who was murdered) doesn't give me nearly enough information to reduce his naming of the doll as a weird, fetishising of a woman he once knew.

I think it's easy to look at the man in front of you, talking about his sex doll, and see him as the villain, but I can't help but feel sorry for Chris and men like Chris. Nobody is entitled to love, but the truth is, life can be incredibly lonely without it. Chris doesn't seem like a man who struggles with social interactions. We see him testify that customers at the gas station where he works love him, but he clearly struggles romantically, and tech companies are preying on men like Chris. The companies that make these products have created an environment where people doubt that they will ever find love in a real human being, leading them to believe that all that is out there for them is an app and a virtual representation. Their marketing is demeaning and predatory, and when that is projected onto someone whose self-esteem is already so low from previous failures or (what I suspect is Chris' case) grief, it breeds these unhealthy relationships we are starting to see an insane amount of.

I do NOT support Chris' 'relationship', I do not like the fact he named the doll after a dead woman, I don't like his friends and family around him supporting what is going on, but most of all, I don't like that companies keep getting away with taking advantage of lonely people. I cannot blame a human being for being desperate for love when there are much more evil forces at work here.

I only wish this documentary had been made by someone who wasn't afraid to rock the boat more, and I wish the companies that allow this to happen burn in hell.
