"Abusing" a robot? A machine?

You seriously have a problem with that?

Let's put it this way: would you be okay with your daughter dating someone who spends his leisure time beating and raping lifelike robotic women?

If no, then why?

If yes, then also "what the fuck lol"

How is that different or worth singling out from playing <violent computer game> or watching <violent film>?

EDIT: Am I really arguing with somebody in favour of 'rights' for AI's?

If they're not that different then why is your answer not just "I'm okay with my daughter dating someone who rapes and beats lifelike robotic women in his free time?"

Just say it if you believe it!
