I mean, at the root of it all, you've got to ask why paedophilia is wrong in the first place

Is it the individual's obsession with youth-like appearances or naivety? Not necessarily, as both of those things can fairly easily be emulated in older (legal) individuals

I'd argue it's wrong simply because of the impact you're having on the victim. You are effectively giving them ptsd for the rest of their life, destroying any childhood they may have left, even if consensual, as they can hardly be expected to understand what they're agreeing to

But a robot? Well, I don't know if this line of thought can even apply to them. On one hand, we don't know her actual age (I think); she may be entirely legal

On the other, if she can fully emulate a younger teen mind, then how is raping her any different from raping a human?

Can you even consider them equivalent, when you can wipe her entire memory?

Can you even quantify her age?

Questions for later
