Would you date/marry a terminator?

[Shadowferal]

So, like Summer Glau in the Sarah Connor Chronicles series? Date? For sure. Marry? Who knows.

Did a good job exploring the idea of humanizing terminators.


I don't think you understand how we work. I have sensation. I feel. I wouldn't be worth much if I couldn't feel.

Nope. A terminator is designed to mimic human behavior to a degree that it can infiltrate the population. We see how it operates, for example, in the first movie when the guy in the motel is giving the terminator crap about the smell, and you can see the processing going on in its red vision with the response options scrolling up, and it chooses "fuck you asshole". Of course it didn't actually have the emotion that would prompt a human to say that, it simply learned from the punks at the beginning of the movie that this was an appropriate response. Blending in.

A "relationship terminator" would be no different. It would be mimicking what it has learned but would not feel the emotions that a human would also experience. I ignore Dark Fate entirely, but even if we take the terminator learning about human emotion in T2 to be a sign that they themselves could come to actually experience their own emotions, it would still not be human emotions. You would never know how it actually felt, or if it felt at all. Definitely not relationship material.

Sexing a robot?

The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Florence and the Machine.

[Shivani Sharma]

Hell, yes why not!!

[Nemah]

Nope, even the slightest glitch or programming error and suddenly you're one of the three punks from the first Terminator movie.

Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean.

[Dark-Zarupia]

If it comes with vibration mode,sure
if not,whats the point?

Between Summer Glau's performance and the recent Alita Battle Angel, I'm having issues with my own organic beliefs.

How long have you been keeping that one in your back pocket to use in the right situation?

I'd like to say my wit is so great I came up with it on the spot....so I'll just say my wit is so great I came up with it on the spot and leave it at that. I most certainly did NOT use it after finding it on a meme after googling "sex with robots memes".

I probably thought about this a bit more than I should have. I mean "Terminator" right, but what is in a name. I suppose going by the series and whatever cannon what is to say the fucking thing doesn't have a power issue or malfunction activates it's protocol and decides to kill you,

But then... I thought well as long as you weren't on it's list of targets you should be fine,

But then... I though of all the films where the terminator fucking just murdered people unnecessarily all the while using a human suit to try to blend in, while all of it's actions were anything but, which got me to thinking maybe all of the terminators were kind of stupid looking back on it.

But then... I went back to the question, ignoring the fact I would be committing to a robot, who could never have children, all of that aside could I marry a robot hmmmm...

assuming it had the looks that got me interested to begin with they live what 120 years...

If the terminator was nothing but loyal to me, and I wasn't already married, SURE why the hell not.

You guys really need to catch "Sarah Connor Chronicles."

[Ealyssa]

No. I’d be afraid of it having some glitch or reboot, and it suddenly wanting to kill me.

In retrospect, a few of my ex GF clearly were terminators. And we are allready infiltrated.

[qwerty123456]

As long as I have already been around them and haven't made them snap from any of the shit I did I would. And while I'd never cheat on anyone I'd probably be even more careful not to cheat on a terminator.

No. I’d be afraid of it having some glitch or reboot, and it suddenly wanting to kill me.

I'd trust a robot over a human. Alot more can go wrong with a person like tumors, drugs, dementia, wanting insurance money, wanting to fuck somebody else. mistaking you for an intruder, etc...

Thank you OP, now I hate you for reminding me that "Sarah Connor Chronicles" was cancelled.
And as few already mentioned, it kinda did explore it, the main character was clearly falling for one. That scene with the toes in the wind was on point.

[Osmeric]

This thread is reminding me of Faye and Bubbles in the web comic Questionable Content.
