Talk:Gynoid

message: I thought this was an article about technology, if we need feminism in here then fine but does it really have to seem like the main focus of the article? 90.193.90.210 (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

text: I also agree. This article comes across as a heavily motivated opinion piece, and talks more about feminist issues rather than the technology.122.151.90.238 (talk) 14:57, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

text: I fourth this, obviously the page was edited to promote a biased viewpoint unrelated to technology rather than legitimate information about the topic at hand and needs to be corrected. 174.27.74.216 (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

text: I don't agree. Fembots have been clearly related to feminist/chauvinist views from their first uses in literature and movies. It is not an article about the technology, which can be found in the Android (robot), Robot and Cyborg articles, simply because the fact that they are Fembots has obvious gender implications. Artificial women, as the article shows, have almost always been linked to satisfying male sexual desires or performing stereotypical female jobs or tasks. To the point that fembots are expected to be a metaphore of either the perfect woman or women liberation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elideb (talk • contribs) 09:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not sure why feminism is here ... 

message: I propose changing the title of this article from "gynoid" to "fembot" for several reasons:
#Fembot, particularly after Austin Powers and other popular texts, is a more recognizable term than gynoid. It also seems to be in wider use (google search gynoid vs. fembot)
#Fembot is a word recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary. Gynoid is not.
#Fembot also predates gynoid (The Bionic Woman, 1976 vs. Divine Endurance, 1985)

thread_title:  Changing Title to Fembot?  

message: Android 18, although called Android (artificial human in Japanese), is actually a cyborg (human turned robot). She seems to retain most of her biological self, including the ability to have children.
Would that qualify as fembot or does the term imply artificial origin exclusively? Otherwise, the Dr. Slump section could be replaced with a Toriyama section, and Android 18 added in there. This would be a special case, because Toriyama's fembots are quite influential and Android 18 is a fan favourite. Still, care should be taken when adding things, because otherwise the article could become a list of all female robots in anime, manga and videogames (which are not few). --Elideb (talk) 09:40, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether she is technically a cyborg could be added as a footnote, but it would need references to show she was indeed human prior to her creation. Gynoids can be designed with biological human abilities such as bearing children. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:17, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
