Excited to announce v(1.0) of Digi, the future of AI Romantic Companionship, for IOS and Android 🤖Site: http://digi.aiTwitter: @digiaiapp A quick thread on features, and where we go from here (1/13)
I want to make a wider point about how we are too often content to put the blame for misogyny on men who, quite pointedly, are not interacting with women, and do not actually hold concrete power over very much at all. And I mean specifically this unforced error where we reify the social order by categorizing rejects and aberrations as the real threat and not, like, men with power and social capital. The majority of femicide isn’t committed by an Elliott Rogers or a Marc Lepine or a dark, alien presence lurking in an alleyway. Violence to women is overwhelmingly done by partners, parents, teachers, and bosses.
I seriously blame RPGs that created the “give X to Y” to increase their “heart meters” for reinforcing the fucking punch clock style theory of “romance” (there’s likely a lot of other factors but it feels pretty relevant for the gamer/incel/internet culture)
“relationship progression system” because we don’t have enough dudes who think being “nice” to women enough times will get you laid
this product is for people who have given up hope of having a sexual or romantic relationship.

but i’m too sleepy so don’t bother me abt it
I’m not blaming the men who want something like this. I’m blaming the people designing this system for reifying misogyny.
oh absolutely

I wish it were that easy. Heck, only in dating sims can I manage to juggle work, college, and keeping up with friends.
but I did all the side quests! My reputation was grinded to exalted! WTF
