Disclaimer: I think this article, and articles like it normally found in the Guardian, are bullshit.

But this is the second article of this sentiment I've seen, now in a national (UK) paper, so maybe this will be a trend?

Just to expand on that, consider this scare-mongering quote:

"How would you feel about your ex boyfriend getting a robot that looked exactly like you, just in order to beat it up every night?"

Why would anyone buy an expensive robot and beat it up? Really makes you think.

Probably, people are afraid of uncanny valley elements combine that with a fear of the new /unknown and also pseudoscience feminism. It hits a lot of click-bait buttons.

But I could see it possibly as big a revolution as birth control, especially for a generation born with video games. I noticed my younger nieces and nephews have an exceptionally higher tolerance for uncanny valley simulacrum.
