California looking into Taxing Robots

Yeah, I've seen the thing on sex robots and how it could lead to more abusive behavior.

The theory is that if a person say with a rape fantasy uses a robot to indulge in that fantasy, you could argue that they're less likely to rape an actual person. However, they're still not raping, or fulfilling their desire so it could instead grow to where they can't control that impulse. The fact is, both theories have merit.

But effectively banning them by taxing them at the rate proposed still seems wrong.

These are fancy sex toys.
