  • You got me, I wasn’t stating facts just opinions and fee fees. Maybe it is just me, who thinks of the original when I hear Tron, and not Legacy. Now, we can play the gross profit game all day but a lot of factors changed in daily life from 1982 to 2010. Including inflation. 1 dollar in 1982 is like 2.26 on 2010 money. We also see Disney gaining am unfathomable reach, with Tron Legacy releasing worldwide and in China, while Tron only released in 1000 or so American theaters. Is that a fair comparison? Enough to call me out as brazen and bat shit? Not really. I mean Tron was Disney’s highest grossing live action film for five years. It was nominated for multiple awards. I just dont believe your analysis takes in all facets surrounding the original release compared to the sequel. Quite literally a different production level with less interesting visuals, less unique, and just about the same sort of confusing story. If we could have some sort of comparison where people are exposed to the two and vote on it, you’d find the original has a lot of merit and is far more focused in scope than Legacy.

    these actions are driven by emotions, not the need to get off. If it were the latter, they could just jerk off at home today and they wouldnt do these things.

    You can’t separate the two. It doesnt work like that. The need to get off is intertwined with multiple emotions. Plus if the bot could talk back to you it would change the equation as you can’t go home and talk to your dick and have an actual conversation. This anthropomorphic quality would change the outcome of the thought pattern.

    They can currently just say no

    Thats just “what were you wearing” dressed up different. Saying no can be hard, especially for teenagers who want to fit in. It can become easier when there is a clear and painless alternative to suggest.

    Again, doubt. If you are getting married for the sake of having sex, then you are probably in some kind of restrictive religion.

    A lot of people are getting marries for the wrong reasons, divorce rates are extremely high. This probably would stop at least a noticeable percentage of people from getting married with hormones blazing.

    All of this is just speculation, but I dont think the results of unleashing sex bots are as clear cut as you suggest.
