Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment Thread 2.1 Bugfix: Now in Technicolor™ Greentext anon 02/05/2025 (Wed) 15:23:46 No.36623
Attention drawfags and writefags! Your skills will be needed! The task of building and designing a robowaifu is a herculean quest. As great as this community is, /robowaifu/ simply does not have the manpower to real our goal of DIY robowaifus. Luckily for us there are several communities on the internet that we could find new recruits or allies to help us build our waifus: >MGTOW - These guys know all about the legal pitfalls of marriage and the dangers of feminism. There is already a lot of talk about sex robots in MGTOW communities. It shouldn't be a hard sell to get them to come here. <However, some of these guys would rather spend all their time bitching on the internet about "MUH WOMENZ" than actually getting a hobby other than lifting heavy objects and putting them down again. MGTOW is literally Feminist Separatism for males. >Incels - Guys that can't get laid. The opportunity for love and companionship should be enough to bring some of these guys over. <However, we need to be careful when recruiting from some of their communities, since they may be compomised by glownigs or other fringe elements. We don't want to attract negative attention. >Monster girls/furry/mlp fandoms - The only way these guys are going to be able to have their harpy/elf/goblin/anthro/pony/whatever gf is with a robowaifu. Many have an interest in seeing us succeed. <However, there exists a very wide variety of communities under this umbrella, and there is a notable overlap between communities who would want robowaifus and communities that are morally compromised, so care should be taken when looking into them. Romanticists and waifufags have a tendency to congregate since they all want/create the same type of content, so looking for those subgroups would be the most efficient path. >Otakus - Many men in these communities want to see their waifu/favorite character come to life, which will realistically only happen with robowaifus. <However, many of those communities are drowning in the LGBT alphabet soup. Special care should be taken when looking into them. >Male STEM students - Generally these guys aren't going to get laid until after they have established themselves. A robowaifu could really help them. <However, this may be a harder sell because many of them have been brainwashed in university, but they have skills that we could really use. >Transhumanists/biohackers - Many of the technologies involved in building a robowaifu could be used in transhumanist or biohacking applications such as building an avatar. They may have some interest in helping us out. <However, we will need to be careful which transhumanist communities we go after as many of them are full of feminism, tumblr-tier sexualities and genders, and SJW's. >Cyberpunks and technophiles - These guys (and they are usually guys) are all around into technology and may just enjoy working on the kinds of projects we need to do. They are often into programming and AI. <However, many of these communities suffer from the same potential issues as transhumanists. Now, as for your paranoia about feminism there is a lot of very different views among people who call themselves feminists that directly contradict others. Some are misandrists and some actually care a lot about the interests of males. Some are very prudish from their Christian roots and some are into anything sexual and are pervs. Some would be against sex bots, some would be for them or at least not inherently against them. In other words, a promising community that contains a few people who claim to be pro-feminist shouldn't be immedately discarded, since the feminism they're talking about might not be the feminism you're thinking of.

MGTOW - These guys would rather spend all their time bitching on the internet about "MUH WOMENZ" than actually getting a hobby other than lifting heavy objects and putting them down again. MGTOW is literally Feminist Separatism for males. Incels - They often lack knowledge about female anatomy or what a girl/woman feels like thus are incapable of replicating this. There is another type that might be into these things which would be artists who work with relevant materials. After all a robowaifu is kind of a kinetic sculpture. Also anime otaku sometimes just want to bring a character to life so that's another type not mentioned. I mean there is already various Japanese robotics engineers that do this with like Miku bots and stuff. Now as for your paranoia about feminism there is a lot of very different views among people who call themselves feminists that directly contradict others. Some are misandrists and some actually care a lot about the interests of males. Some are very prudish from their Christian roots and some are into anything sexual and are pervs. Some would be against sex bots, some would be for them or at least not inherently against them.
Good reminder that I should make the new recruitment thread. I just had some problems to get me motivated to do stuff, not related to /robowaifu but more general. I don't believe much in these 4chan recruitment activities anyways. But I will try to make the new thread. I mean, it would be easy to just open it, if I don't need to make a full overview or index of the old thread. Should I just open one?
>>31459 Edit: Oh, this is the new thread. Okay. Good.
@chobitsu, what do you think about you creating a free tapatalk forum, similar to incels.is and looksmax.org, but about robowaifus, you can create it for free on tapatalk with ads, you just need to appoint a mod, i can show you examples of tapatalk forums with ads if you want, since tapatalk is like a reddit for forums.
>>32420 Nothing personal, but I don't think much of it. Confer this for my position on such matters: -Why we exist on an imageboard, and not some other forum platform (>>15638, >>17937)
As part of my agenda to normalize robowaifus, I am making a series of would you rather images targeting men who might be dejected by women currently or in the past. >The image set is formatted for mobile. Specifically targeting iphone aspect ratio. This is going to be a rather large set of images. I am making them over the course of the day. Hence a thread. >I plan to make about 50 of them. I'll provide a template, but I'd like to standardize the set as much as possible so they can be traced back here.

Hello Anon, nice work! <---> So, to my thinking this fits pretty squarely into propaganda. We have two (2) threads on this arena already : ( >>19295, >>31438 ). We like to keep topics bundled together as much as feasible. Rather than begin yet another one for this project, I'm inclined to merge it instead into one of the others. But I'm open to hearing your opinion in the matter. <---> As to the material itself, this is a great start. I think some of these cards are a bit too esoteric, but that's just my opinion. I really like that you want to both standardize them in format, and help newcomer Anons find their way here to /robowaifu/. Heartily agree to both! Cheers, Anon. :^)
I won't lie and say that I'm well-attuned to the sensibilities of the average normalnigger, but some of the messages in these are way too muddy. For example, the third pic of the OP references having children in a way which implies that robowaifus can't, which may turn away many men. I think it'd be better to reference the up-and-coming technology of artificial wombs, and emphasize that men will soon have freedom of choice in reproduction. Also, the final pic in ( >>34389 ) will raise a red flag in many parts of the world. It references women having free will in a way that implies robowaifus won't. This is bad because some normies will see this and immediately make connections to slavery. Once a few of them notice, it won't take long for the rest to see it too. We don't need that negative press. **Some normies might make that connection anyways, but it's easier to brush off so long as we aren't the ones saying it.'' >>34403 >esoteric My first impression was that they're too hamfisted, but at a second glance I can see what you mean. These blobs of text don't apply to everyone, and will require the average viewer to put themselves in a situation outside of their own. I've learned as much the hard way: Most people hate doing that, and they'll hate you for trying to make them look outside their own lives and challenge their own views. I have some more relevant thoughts about this, but I'll post them tomorrow. And for what it's worth, I'm in agreement with merging this into one of the existing threads. Personally, I don't think this topic branches out enough to be truly standalone, and those threads could use more general traffic.
>>34411 >My first impression was that they're too hamfisted, but at a second glance I can see what you mean. My basic position is that, while these prop cards are purportedly for the indoctrination of Joe Sixpack, they are in fact primarily aimed at Anons AFAICT. We are quite out of the mainstream mindset in most areas as of CY -- and most definitely on the topics concerning devising/owning robotic wives! :D >tl;dr These are mostly aimed squarely at the Internets niche, not normalfags. >>34389 Anon, I'm going to have to agree with Greentext anon regarding the basic premise and positions of this final card. I'd simply ask you to a) rethink the approach of your words for this one, or b) simply drop it from the collection? <---> Also, I'm very-likely to migrate it to ( >>31438 ) soon-ish -- particularly if we don't hear back from you soon regarding this. Cheers, Anon. :^) >=== -minor edit

Daily Reminder: Still waiting on an Anon to make a new thread. Then I'll migrate this one to the one that has pics. (cf. >>31486) Cheers. :^)
>>34450 Done. ( >>34750 ) Changes are as follows: +Added three pictures. +Merged the first post on this thread into the OP. +Added link to the first thread. ~Altered the formatting for easier reading. ~Altered, rewrote, and added some lines for the sake of clarity and context. Feel free to edit it however.
>>34751 Excellent! Thanks kindly, Greentext anon. Cheers. :^)
>>34387 Good idea, thanks. You could ask some LLM for how to represent the text, then use an image generator to add pictures. I also support the idea of robowaifus being very obedient and marketing them as that. >>34751 Thanks.

>>36640 Nice!!! :)
>>36640 >>36647 Thanks, NoidoDev! Cheers. :^)
>>36623 I think it would be a good idea to poach from amputee communities as well. Most amputee dudes probably don't have a lot of options for women as sad as that is and the technology people are working on here could help them with more than just companionship.
>>36945 That seems a really good idea in general, Anon. We've been encouraging Anons to look into prosthetics as an industry since our very first year : ( >>417 ). But I hadn't personally thought of amputees as a group supporting our goals here. Interesting. What do other Anons here think about Anon's idea?
>>36947 While I think it's weird to appeal directly to amputees, my vision for RoboWaifus includes helping those who have a very low chance of finding love, including people with disabilities. I also see social AIs for more than just romantic partners, I envision a world with widespread local AI friends, local AI therapists, even local AI parental figures.
>>36958 POTD Just don't quit, Anon, and you'll go far. Serving humanity is the primary reason for doing this. For men, in particular. Cheers. :^)
>>36958 It may be a little different to directly appeal to amputee, but people with experience with prosthetics might offer some unique perspectives around solving issues in balance or the uncanny valley.
>>36983 That's a really-good point, Anon. Thanks!
>>36983 The best way to avoid the uncanny valley is to not go near it. Many robots are cuter when they have a simple face and design. I experienced this myself, I had a realistic face, and most people including me preferred the more anime styled face. As for prosthetics, most do the tactic of following biological form, but still clearly robotic. That's similar to what I'm doing.
>>37246 Some more images I found (Robot Face general >>9)
>>37246 >>37247 Neat! Thanks, GreerTech. I like the way you think, Anon. Cheers. :^)
>>36945 >>36958 >>36983 >>37246 I had this whole uncanny valley-inspired scale drawing I wanted to make and never got around to it, that went something like this: >1. Bloody severed stump where someone's hand was. >2. Stump that's been treated and fully healed. >3. Primitive robotic claw or hook on a stump. >4. Highly detailed and articulated, robotic hand. >5. Perfectly realistic human hand. >6. Thin fabric glove over a hand. >7. Big mitten/gauntlet over a hand. >8. Hand puppet. This whole shock-value scale is janky, but explains my thought process simply. The lower the number is, the more likely it is to shock/scare/startle someone. In part because it's unexpected, and in part because of implied harm. The majority of the robot designs that attempt to get close to looking perfectly realistic end up falling short. Either because it doesn't have the right shape, right color, doesn't move right, especially with fake skin not moving the way real skin does, or whatever. A lot of what I see looks like people are trying to make 4, but always looks closer to 3. The end goal of waifu design will be something indistinguishable from 5, but my design philosophy is to make something that looks like 7. I'm starting with a 3D model meant to be the final design that's intended to look perfectly human, and what looks like a suit of power armor (in the style of Bubblegum Crisis, or similar) that mechanically looks like it could just be a cosplay costume. Nothing should mechanically clip into the body underneath, even if it means moving as clumsily as C-3PO. But there isn't really a body underneath, it's just for the sake of creating the impression there is. She'll probably start out with the design that makes her look covered in armor from head to toe (aside from a select few removable parts ;D) and once a body part can be made good enough to fool people into thinking it's real, then it'll replace that part of her armor. I feel as though 80% of the problem with making a waifu is just the AI. With sufficient AGI and body, a reference of what the final body should look like, knowledge of handling tools and materials, and dexterous hands capable of working tools at least as well as a human can, she could upgrade her own body parts to be more realistic with an attention to detail humans are basically incapable of. We need things like Eularian Video Magnification https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONZcjs1Pjmk to see things AI can pick-up on without us even knowing. Waifu build thyself!

I was thinking "is this thread going off topic?", but then I realized "good design is important for appeal" I mentioned in another thread, the idea of robot companions is not an obscure idea. But if you look at the examples, Atomic Heart Twins, Murder Drones characters, the CLANK CLANK CLANK meme, etc, they're mostly clearly robotic. The exceptions, like 2B and Chii, it's shown that they are basically indistinguishable from humans, which is really hard to do. If you showed the "realistic" robots (like the ones in this post) to most people, they would feel repulsed. I encountered that myself, my initial Galatea design had a realistic face, but the people around me found it creepy, and I felt like it was "missing something". My 2.1.0 design has an anime-styled head, and it's far cuter. In short, for a companion, many people would prefer the designs from my previous posts, than anything trying to mimic real humans.
>>37257 Another good example of a robot having mass appeal is Emmy the Robot and Nandroids. They're very clearly robots, but many people love them, create custom designs, and would love to have one (see >>25306).
>>37256 Neat! Thanks, Anon. I haven't tracked this project and my last information on it was a few years ago. I have a laser projector suited to doing an interal 'rear projected' screen face like this. Wouldn't at all be surprised to find they're using a similar system (laser has the very-distinct advantage of always being in focus, regardless of 'screen' contours [ie, the inside of the translucent face shell]). >>37257 >but then I realized "good design is important for appeal" Very much so. It may be that faces in particular should go into that thread (as you already linked above). But yes, I think the topic of 'creepy faces' is very pertinent for the evaluation of whether a specific design has good Character Appeal (one of the highly-vaunted 12 Principles of Animation by the so-called 9 Old Men in Disney lore). So certainly, if you're preparing ad-copy for propaganda purposes (or even just advertising), then having appealing female faces is part of that. 'Appealing' in this case clearly means 'Cute', at the least. Presenting something downright ghoulish-looking such as Sophia in your pic-related does not qualify as appealing in my book. The face of the /clang/-joke character is about the only somewhat good one in this bunch. Good example choices for your point, GreerTech. <---> Looking forward to your new designs, Anon! Cheers. >=== -add'l edit

>>37259 >In face the clank-joke character is about the only somewhat good one in this bunch. Exactly. The other ones, despite being "realistic", are not cute/appealing, while the simple faceplate with LED eyes is appealing (and even sexually attractive)
>>37258 Agree. Nandroids in general have tons of appeal. Even if they're too dang skinny! "NEEDS MOAR HIP!!" >he rages over his breakfast cereal... :D >and would love to have one (see >>25306).

>>37260 The designer may indeed be onto something with those handles. :^)
>>37246 Not quite what I was going for. I was thinking something more like the hard suits from Bubblegum Crisis or Lady Armaroid from Cobra, but without the spikes. >>37260 >the simple faceplate with LED eyes is appealing (and even sexually attractive) I wouldn't go that far, at least not for the vast majority of people.

>>37271 Reminds me of the robot from Metropolis >I wouldn't go that far, at least not for the vast majority of people. Well most robotic characters that are popular and seen as attractive have simple faces. Maybe not that simple, but if you look at the examples of popular characters (>>37267 >>37268), they have simplistic face designs. The twins from atomic heart don't even have eyes, and are very popular.

>>37273 I probably should have posted this Bubblegum Crisis promo costume picture instead. >Reminds me of the robot from Metropolis Actually, her design was an inspiration for C-3PO. And that might have in turn inspired Lady Armaroid's design. >Well most robotic characters that are popular and seen as attractive have simple faces. But the majority of those designs aren't even 3D, and the ones that are use an art style that isn't even remotely realistic, like Murder Drones. If you actually build it it's going to be contrasted against actual humans, and as silly as it sounds to say this, the majority of humans are mostly attracted to humans that look like real humans. All the criticism of uncanny valley sex dolls is the fact that they don't look real enough, there aren't a lot of people clamoring for dolls that look less human. Reality isn't generous with that kind of thing, as it's less like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and more like a normal cosplayer along side one in one of those creepy kigurumi masks. But my problem with most fictional robot designs is they don't look enough like real robots, so actually making real working ones is a headache when you have to compensate for the fact that things in fiction can do what real things can't. Drossel von Flugel's eyes are solid blue, when real cameras, like pupils, are black because they're absorbing light, or worse; glowing robot eyes. (but what I really hate is parts that float in the air for no reason) Transparent OLED displays just aren't quite affordable yet, so the whole fictional trope where screens double as cameras requires more effort to pull off than it's really worth, so you usually end up with a pair of fake eyes and a pair of real eyes/cameras. >The twins from atomic heart don't even have eyes, and are very popular. I barely heard anything about atomic heart after its release. A few months, some rule 34 animations, then it basically dropped off the face of the Earth. As for the twins themselves, I don't like them. Partly it's the hairstyle, but I also have a very strong bias against scifi helmet designs that don't have any kind of visible cameras or visor for the wearer to see out of. They always just look stupid to me. And it doesn't help that there's just a vague assumption that the wearer can see with radar vision or something, but you're really just not supposed to think about it, like Doc Brown's steel glasses.
>>37280 But people have made cute, simple robots, many of which with screen/projected faces. >All the criticism of uncanny valley sex dolls is the fact that they don't look real enough, there aren't a lot of people clamoring for dolls that look less human. As I detailed in >>37274 , I do believe it's possible to make a robot that has that humanity/no Uncanny Valley, a la 2B or Chii, but it will require a lot of tricky engineering and years of design and testing. About the Atomic Hearts Twins, yes it is true that their popularity did wane. But that is the nature of pop culture. After all, I heard more about Atomic Heart than Bubblegum Crisis. I'm specifically talking about the attractiveness of their designs. The people haven't changed their opinion on the design, they just have stopped talking about it because ultimately, they're fictional.
NoidoDev had a bunch of waifu pictures he did of clearly mechanical girls but I really liked some of them. Mostly I want life like but I could see having it clearly a robot if done right. I can not find link to his pictures but here's one I liked to give an idea of what I'm talking about.[argggh cancel that I can't upload pictures. Sigh] There was one of a blond girl with lifelike face and hands but whiteish color plastic body. I really liked that one and some of the others. Her arms, legs mostly solid joints like this would cut cost dramatically. Finally found it in this post >>33004 http://bhlnasxdkbaoxf4gtpbhavref7l2j3bwooes77hqcacxztkindztzrad.onion/.media/0e93cc4c6cb910b1690d422d1db1a52a6afa9d7f875a250724c8227478560b22.jpg

Yeah, that's a nice one Grommet. NoidoDev has surely had some great ones here before! BTW, the description approach I've used successfully in the past (it's quite standard actually) is something like: >>33004 >pic #5 or similar. When using Tor, linking directly to the copypasta of the server's filename URI is basically functional (for other Tor users like me), but it doesn't work at all for non-Tor users (mostly everyone else). Alternatively, manually substituting the standard URI host prefix (ie, alogs.space) in place of the hidden onion address is functional for everyone.

>>37282 >I heard more about Atomic Heart than Bubblegum Crisis. I mean, it's an anime from 87, that had an English dub in '94. I wasn't using it as a metric for popularity as much as I was referring to what I was hoping to do with my design; low detail, smooth and rounded features. And I'm not sure if I made it clear, but those are suits of armor the girls wear, while Lady Armaroid looks kinda like a woman in a skin-tight outfit with a bit of thin armor, she's actually a robot. The design of the twins, besides the head, which I've already made clear I hate, is perfectly fine, but if you look at any attempts at cosplay (unless there's an animatronic one I haven't seen) most of them are just using fabric below the neck because the bodies of the twins are so close in proportion to real human bodies that trying to make the costume out of any rigid material would be more effort than it's worth and make the limbs significantly thicker. This is what I called #6 on my previously mentioned scale, because you assume the hand underneath the fabric is perfectly healthy, any bruises or discoloration is hidden, but the hand still needs to move with as much articulation as a real healthy hand or it'll look wrong. What you're asking for is #4, which is difficult to do. With the Hard Suits from Bubblegum Crisis I'm referring to a #7, which can fit more components inside, and doesn't need to move as believably, because people accept that wearing a thick glove or costume armor can limit your range of motion, or make movement look stiff and unnatural. The point is a #7 can be slimmed down to nearly a #4 selectively as needed. The rest of this conversation I think would be best continued on the face development thread.

>>37389 These look really good, if spoopy. Shades of Terminator meets Predator :^)
>>37397 I wanted a "cool" futuristic aesthetic for this one. You are right, Terminator was an inspiration. I wanted the message to be exactly what the caption is, here is an awesome sci-fi robot that is real and you can make it today Relevant aesthetics page https://cari.institute/aesthetics/hexatron I recommend all robowaifu advertisers/promoters to check out this list of aesthetics.
>>37246 I mentioned it very often already, but there's a Youtube video making the case that "the uncanny valley" doesn't exist: http://youtu.be/LKJBND_IRdI - I posted it quite often already here and in other places whenever the topic comes up, since I agree with it. But people really like the idea and don't want to give it up. Anyways, I think in reality it only matters if something looks creepy, but it doesn't matter that much how close it looks to a human.
>>37426 I watched it, and it is informative, but I think it actually reinforced the uncanny valley, especially the final graph. You have a scale of rising "humanity", and while it's very variable in the beginning, there is a notable dip (with the very interesting exception of the anime face) when certain things are missing and or weird. Human, but not quite, which is basically the motto of the uncanny valley. I said something similar in >>37274 on how the uncanny valley is surmountable, but it requires a lot details, something which is not needed on simpler models. Regardless of whether one thinks the uncanny valley is real or not, there is a notable phenomenon where people find cutesy faces cute, "realistic" faces creepy (partly because it's not quite human), and it's only beat by adding even more detail and realistic movement, aka more human. PS, the video also helps with the case for screen faces.
>>37430 >how the uncanny valley is surmountable, but it requires a lot details AFAICT (or at the least as far as my own tastes dictate :D, this is only achievable thus far by the highest-end Visual Effects (VFX) teams in the film industry. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) was literally the first time in history it was ever achieved, BTW (so, a long time in coming). These ~430 CGI shots cost US$10's of millions to pull it all off. [1][2][3][4] My opus on the matter is that all of us are basically pre-wired for general facial cues recognition from before birth, and that immediately thereafter we all engage in an intensive, high-speed crash course process of 'locking in' the tight specifics of human faces (and especially of our parents/family members) over the next 18 months or so of infancy. The end result of all this pre-programming/pre-processing is that: A) we are all extremely sensitive to even the most subtle nuances of the human face, and B) this is vitally important for us that we are; we are substantially-equipped thereby to survive in this life before reaching even toddlerhood. While apparently a few of us seem less-affected by (or, simply better able to overcome/overlook) the so-called 'uncanny valley' effects, I consider it quite a real phenomenon as part of our basic bio-psycho-neuro survival mechanisms -- and literally from birth. The >tl;dr here, IMO, is that this is inextricably wired into us and is essential for our basic survival as individuals. --- 1. https://www.awn.com/vfxworld/bringing-benjamin-button-life 2. https://www.fxguide.com/fxfeatured/the_curious_case_of_aging_visual_effects/ 3. https://history.siggraph.org/animation-video-pod/the-curious-case-of-benjamin-button-by-fincher/ 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNlj3_SuLt4 >=== -rm uri fingerprinting -add'l edit

>>38129 >>38130 Here's the template
>>36623 What precisely do you mean when you say "recruitment". Dost thou wilt the proliferation of Pro-Robowaifu sentiment in general or traffic to this board specifically?
>>38138 Why not both?
>>38140 >>38139 The task of promoting Pro-Robowaifu sentiment and recruitment of new Robowaifu Technicians for /robowaifu/ differ due to the boards focus on the actual creation of Robowaifus giving it a more technical culture consequently I think it would be more desirable to identify and seek out adjacent technical culture spaces on the internet possibly lurk for a spell before cordially bring up the topic of robowaifus then linking to the board
>>38147 >technical cultural spaces
>>38151 >Cautious optimism and white pills everywhere in this bitch! >I'll admit though that enemy perception is something that needs to be managed for this to work. Harmless dorks working on waifus is a better image to cultivate than "we are destroying feminism and will crash the banks with it" because that image doesn't threaten anyone. We need to worry about perception management from both a security and a propaganda lense. For example it may be better to emphasize how robowaifus will help with men's mental health then how they will cause feminism to collapse. It would be easy to see how opposing feminism could be used to spin narratives about how we are oppressing women. If we went with the support men's mental health narrative, on the other hand, then anyone attacking robowaifus looks like they are standing in support of suicide. These are fair points from a public perception angle. History has shown time and again this sort of manipulation actually works. If that's your focus, why not take over management ITT, Ribose? Just let us know what you want to change in the OP, etc., if you decide to. <---> OTOH; as to the conditions of the actual world we all literally live in r/n: I think the vast majority of men would be absolutely delighted by the downfall of (((feminism))). I can only think of a few soy guzzlers that would fundamentally oppose that outcome deep down (though probably few others would make so bold as to openly admit to this desire in """polite""" company --- at first -- I deem). OTOOH; while it has been intentionally-designed to be very painful (near impossible, humanly-speaking) to dislodge at first, uprooting the Globohomo cabals + their Central Banks would be literally the single greatest event on the world stage in all modern history (say, of the past 300 years or so)!! If that set of systems crumbles because the ability of the Khazarian Mafia to maintain control over the world's governments fails thereby b/c the rollback of feminism and all it's corollary evils thereto, then the entire.rest. of the world would rejoice in the end I believe. I know I would! >tl;dr I get why its important to posture as a harmless, sexually-deviant, politically-correct group for your public perceptions (and perhaps at first that's even a wise move as well, tactically-speaking) -- but don't unwisely kid yourselves internally about what the realworld facts & priorities here actually are. This system is utterly vile & corrupt. Toady'g up to it is not only spiritually & morally -repellent to an exceptional degree, but I consider it self-destructive in the end (if such behavior is not instead reeled-in fairly quickly) as well. Hard times are coming. Harden TF up & be brutally honest with yourselves is my advice in these matters. Truth will out... in the end, so stay encouraged!! <---> Good luck to us all, and cheers Anons! :^)

>>38147 Good points, Anon! If you yourself know of such communities you think are suitable, and would be willing to follow through on this for the benefit of the board, that would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Anon. :^)
>>38157 Personally I find politics, philosophy, history, and metaphysics to be the main focus of my fascination consequently I my efforts to promote Robowaifus have manifested as Propaganda threads on 4chans /pol/ https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/490246882 https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/490761569 https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/subject/Waifufuturism%20/type/op/
>>38178 Great!! Thank you so much for your efforts, Anon. It's very much-appreciated, and I urge you to continue to do so. Cheers. :^)
>>38156 >If that's your focus, why not take over management ITT, Ribose? Just let us know what you want to change in the OP, etc., if you decide to. Funny you should mention that. I actually wrote the original OP for the previous thread before I started namefagging and I like the improvements that have been made. I would have made another but I haven't had internet on my PC and my phone internet was banned for spam. >I get why its important to posture as a harmless, sexually-deviant, politically-correct group for your public perceptions (and perhaps at first that's even a wise move as well, tactically-speaking) I don't even think we would have to do that. Just saying we are promoting men's mental health and trying to end the loneliness crisis should be harmless enough. And neither of those two points are lies. Still I don't think we should shy away from working with, catering to, or even pretending to be sexual deviants entirely as sex sells and much of the technology for sex bots can be used for proper robowaifus. Sex robots will probably come first as they require less engineering.
>>38181 > I actually wrote the original OP for the previous thread before I started namefagging and I like the improvements that have been made. I would have made another but I haven't had internet on my PC and my phone internet was banned for spam. Neat! Well, as far as I'm concerned then you're the boss ITT. Just tell us what to tweak. And since we clearly need a new OP (AGAIN! :D, perhaps this is the perfect opportune moment to make a new one, and we'll merge this thread into that new one. <---> >I don't even think we would have to do that.

I think you're right. >Sex robots will probably come first as they require less engineering.

It's all too tempting to buy into your own lies in such matters (and I'm rather confident that ease grows with time). >tl;dr Stay true to yourself, and you'll stay true to all mankind. Simple as. Cheers, Anon! :^)
>>38178 >>38179 Unfortunately the Anons on 4chan's /pol/ are not likely to be the sort of more technically individuals at least on average that would serve as prime candidates for prospective Robowaifu Technicians for /robowaifu/ having a sister board with more recreationally orient culture similar to https://smuglo.li/monster/ which could focus on the production of Robowaifu content for the purpose of entertainment could help to retain more Anons from our efforts and allow our /robowaifu/ to grow it's influence more efficiently https://8kun.top/clang/ https://junkuchan.org/robo/ may have once served this purpose but 8kun is a dead website and /robo/ gives a 404
>>38184 Good thinking, Anon. And we are (or have been) involved with every single one of these groups : (cf. >>3, >>14500 ). But as our Welcome bread (hopefully clearly) points out, much more types of talents than just technicians are needed here on /robowaifu/ in the end! Besides, it would be too boring if we were all the same!! :D >tl;dr Just go out and be 'bounders', Anons. Shake the bushes, 'go out into the streets and compel them to come in'. Fortunately for us, the very idea of robowaifus practically writes it's own ad-copy for us all during Current Year. Easy-peasy. Cheers. :^)
>>38184 /pol/ types are better suited to the propaganda front.
>>38185 /g/ is an ideal place to look for more Robowaifu Technicians moreover 4chan has archive sites so I can just repost a previous Robowaifu thread in fact I just did https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/105168159 based upon this archived thread though I won't be able to bump it like my /pol/ threads let's see what the cat drags in
>>38192 forgot to post the archived thread mine was based on https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/100837069/#100837069
>>38192 /diy/ and /sci/ would also be good places to look.
>>38194 Duly noted >>38181 Given the tendency for conversations to ocucor over longer periods of time on /robowaifu/ namefagging would seem to me a necessity to avoid confusion
>>38184 >smuglio monster girls A good place for sure. I've been posting Galatea pics, and someone has been posting SPUD pics. Monster girl/Anthro girl appreciators are great, because robowaifus are actually real. They can actually make real monster girls. >junkuchan /robo/ may be gone, but there are plenty of robot girl threads on /origin/ https://junkuchan.org/origin/catalog.html
@Chobitsu you should change the files on the OP post
>>38197 >@Chobitsu you should change the files on the OP post I would if I could, trust me! Robi doesn't allow fileposting by Torfags here. Besides, this is squarely in @Ribose's domain now (cf. >>38182 ). Why don't you Anons post some good ones for him to pick & choose from, then he can make the new thread OP and we'll migrate into that new thread from here? I'd say dump the candidates into the current /meta : ( >>37898 ).

>>38200 >>38202 I would say maybe avoid any LARP, and focus on showing how we are making real progress. Plus, we need more than just engineers. I had an idea since the trashchan bunker days where it would show Galatea, SPUD, and MaidCom as marketing and showing that we're making real progress. Chobitsu, what year did /robowaifu/ start as a distinct board?
>>38203 The keys are "what do we want to communicate to the target audience*?" and "what convinces the target audience to check us out?" *Young male otakus
>>38203 Great idea, GreerTech. Then I'd recommend some Anon here making a big collage containing clips of every.waifu.evar. from /robowaifu/ -- whether completed or no, whether even manufactured or no (ie, concepts are OK; just that the intention was/is real & substantial...not just something flippant & un-thought-out) -- as one of the OP's campaign images. (So in addition to your list: >>25306, >>24744, >>13648, >>15236, >>11776, >>101, >>372, >>266, >>16319, >>104, >>15349, >>11446, >>364, >>2643, >>26, >>369; and my own rather-modest 'bootions: >>14409, & [ >>6815 / >>19246, et al]; plus Madoka & Aigis too, ofc.) HEH that should be enough to go on with for now! :^) >ps. My sincere apologies if I missed some Anon's concept/project here. Please just point it out for us soon! >pps. We don't need to wait on this for the new thread to be made -- we can rework it in after the fact (same 'Merge' technique again). <---> BUT the initial OP pic should be something very-catchy and impactful, such as @Ribose already indicated (a collage is too muddled). Good luck, Anons. Cheers. :^)

>>38211 Oh yeah, I wanted to show practical projects, to show we're not just all talk. That we're genuine experimenters and technological pioneers, with genuine and real concepts.
>>38211 Okay I'll make a version 2
>>38211 That explains the dead-end threads from the bottom. I had a hunch there was something else to them.
>>38212 >That we're genuine experimenters and technological pioneers, with genuine and real concepts. Great points. But I would humbly point out that I myself spent about 5yrs 'experimenting with technology to produce "real" software' (for what has become the Sumomo-chan project's groundwork C4-systems software) (cf. >>14409, et al). Maybe not tangible per se, but robowaifus aren't going to work without software! :D
>>38214 Yes, I literally re-posted the first ~1'500 posts from OG /robowaifu/ over here by hand personally; first the OPs of the ~90 threads, then filling them in one-by-one, smolest-to-largest (by post-count). Finally I burnt out after a few weeks of it, off-and-on (ie, no big threads made it over here yet!) This was all shortly after the glowniggers destroyed 8chan=>8ch * with their (((redflag))) gayops (again, cf. >>14500 ). OTOH, here we are today as a result of that modest effort (and all the wonderful efforts by Anons in-between)! :^) --- * NOT to be confused with the glownigger honeypot gayop of Current Year; known un-affectionately around the Webring as bl*acked.gov (AKA 8moe).
