      Soon?

      They are already driving the gacha game market, spending several billions. Way too many games sell characters to players simply by making a variety of waifus.

      Then we have everyone paying for OnlyFans and erotic art patreons.

      Then we have everyone paying subscriptions for dating apps.

      Really, the more I think about it, was it ever a fringe market? “Porn sells” is a known saying. Playboy magazines used to be an institution.

      This is just a new layer of that.

        I feel like traditional “There be titties” porn is a slightly different beast than the parasocial onlyfans stuff, or the even weirder “ai girlfriend” stuff. The traditional stuff is less sad, to me. Like, there’s no illusions about what’s happening if I’m looking at a traditional video of a naked woman. But when it adds the whole fake interaction thing? Makes my skin crawl.

          I wouldn’t blame people if they just treat it like an erotic novel and don’t get too attached.

          …but some are gonna.
