Kanojo is used in Japan to refer to an other wife or girlfriend and that is basically what this piece of software provides, a girlfriend to interact with on your computer screen. To be release on the 19th of February 2010, with a demo due at the end of November.
Fact is that Real Girlfriend is the first Japanese adult themed game that goes beyond the “interactive” comic book sim games ( like the Peach Princess and many other similar titles ). It is in real time 3D, it’s interactivity is more then just clicking trough dialogs and it even has a nifty face tracking option with your webcam.
It is interesting to speculate on what impact sexbots will have on societies ruling ideology.
On the one hand, buying men off with sexbots and virtual reality sex will make them on the whole a lot more pliable. On the official level, I see more misandry.
On the other, women’s value in the sexual marketplace will plummet. Women will be treated as utterly disposable. On the unofficial level, I think this makes for a lot more misogyny.
