Maybe this is what they live for. They know their purpose and they love their people just like Woody loves Andy.

Imagine a movie plot where Sarah moves to a new state and forgets her vibrator collection. She doesn’t realize it yet but all the vibrators team up to embark on a madcap adventure to reunite with Sarah. On the way they they find a sad discarded buttplug with no owner and they bring him into the gang only to find out that he used to belong to Sarah’s lesbian lover who she’s moving to be with.

My God if masturbation did actually lead to harry palms I would not be balding now.

Also there is a subplot where they are constantly in a jealous rage over her girlfriend and "she will never be good enough". But the plug helps they realize they can all be good together.

Well, as far as I remember, the real toys liked being played with, and were even sad when they weren’t played with. So… theoretically sex dolls would also like being “played” with

They weren't being played with in their intended way. I'm sure the toy story sex dolls would be miserable if they were just dressed up and used to drive in the carpool lane.

I honestly feel like Sid gets a bad wrap. Like, yeah, he's a bit of a dick to his sister and doesn't have much respect for other people's possessions, but he's also a kid and at his age those things are entirely environmental. Hes also incredibly creative and capable. I'm pretty confident that, even as an adult with a well above average skill in fabrication, I wouldn't be able to make that erector set spider baby without researching it. Plus, he's got Barbie legs on a fishing pole, he's swapping the heads of dolls and dinosaurs, there's no way those things are going together without custom joints.

Yeah, he's horrifically maimed a bunch of sentient beings, but he wasn't aware they were sentient and they're all still living beings, even the fishing pole which would have been inanimate like other tool toys. He literally gave life to a toy that didn't have it. Kid should get some credit.

FYI it's "bad rap" (rap being an accusation or blame, think like how a rap sheet outlines the bad stuff you've done). A bad wrap is something you'd get at a restaurant.

From what I remember, kind of putting the subtle hints together; his dad isn't exactly a good role model. I think I wrote about this before, but there's a good read between the lines indication of abuse, trauma, and neglect.

That absolutely covers a large part of sex dolls too though... there's gotta be a pretty major overlap of people who own sex dolls and people who are into things that would traumatise a conscious being.

Because I hate the implication I have just created new head canon for my own sake. It’s the power of a child imagination and play that brings the toys to life. That’s why the fork comes to life in the fourth movie

So if a child found one abandoned and somehow innocently played with it enough then it would come to life but when used for an adults self-gratification it would not have the requisite for life.

Except... Aren't the toys completely aware of what they are and what their purpose is?

Well, except for Buzz in the first movie. Considering literally every other toy was aware of their purpose and existence makes Buzz a bit of a weirdo.

No. They don't exist. The universe does not contain them. This is a wholesome story with a strong emphasis on the word story. A story can be whatever you want but the intention was probably not to create a universe in which toys are sentient unknown to their makes and in which they are tortured through rape. You can imagine that if you want but it is surely not the artists intent.

People often apply adult concepts to kids. Which is a huge mistake. Kids don't view things the same, but many adults can't understand that concept, so everything turns into in even though it isn't meant that way.

3

Given that the toys actively want to be played with by their kids, I'd assume adult toys would also want to be played with by their owners, which would presumably preclude it being rape at least in most cases.

2

One reading would be that there is no sex in the Toy Story universe, because Toy Story is essentially a classic story about magic which disappears at the end of childhood/onset of adolescence, only remade as a CGI demo.

Of course, that narrative is from an earlier time, when childish things were put aside, and before “adulting” became a word. These days, a Toy Story universe would presumably have a red-light district full of sentient sex toys, though it would have to be an off-brand one, as Disney still own the IP and would never sign off on anything like that.

Wasn't there family dynamics of a sort in the Lightyear movie? I forget, but I do remember conservatives being pissed because there was a same sex couple with a child.

The toys are shown to literally hallucinate whatever fantasy is being imagined. So whether it's consensual or not depends on what the user imagines it is.

sex dolls want to be raped

Wouldn't that be not rape?

12

honestly my reasoning was kinda like: a person that cannot move nor speak nor express anything, just cannot consent even if they like it.

a sentient sex doll is kinda similar to that so it might be rape but idk. i really like Zozano's reply though.

Then I guess CNC isn't as controversial as people make it, which I think is fair. It shouldn't be.

It is toy story cannon that the toys like being played with. It's what they were made for. The same logic should work for other dolls.

The fact that Ms Peep has sexuality as a non-sex toy would suggest that the toys can be horny. So the sex dolls may not just be ok with it. They might be extremely into it.

Also, who uses a sex doll every day? I don't use mine every day. You all have problems.

They're sentient if the child thinks of them as such. Andy's etch-a-sketch was used in play as a character, so it gets thoughts. The Lilypad, with its decorative face and hands, gets the same thing.

Really, the only gap in this logic I can think of in the toy story universe is the shipping crate of buzzes that no child has even seen yet, but besides them, toys tend to wake up and be alive when interacted with, either by a child or a toy that has itself come alive from a child. S Even sitting on a store shelf, a child will still see the toy and imagine on occasion, so this still works for Stinky Pete.

Easiest explanation is the factory they were made in uses child labor

3

If you want a less dark explanation, I think the toys are powered by both individual and collective imagination. Really popular toys like Buzz gain sentience immediately, because there are masses of children already thinking of them that way so much so that proximity isn't needed. Non-toy items like Forky can gain toyhood and sentience from a concentrated dose of imagination. Most toys would be somewhere between those two extremes.

You could also go a step further and say collective imagination results in a lower quality sentience, explaining all the Buzzes, green aliens, etc. starting out less self-aware.

1

It has, as far as I know, to date, not been adressed by the writers.

The existence of Forky means almost certainly yes. Apparently, using any object for entertainment in some fashion makes it capable of becoming sapient. This creates a lot of potential fridge horror scenarios.

I think the universe lore of toy story is that a kid's imagination is what brings toys to life. So a kid is required for a toy's sentience.

The toys are fighting for their lives; if they get abandoned they die. Woody doesn't want to be replaced by buzz , because then he will die.

Oh my God! That is dark.

Idk I think the "spark" that brings them to life isn't sustained by the child. The kid just brings them to life.

3

Kids don't think about fuck toys. It takes a certain degree of.. familiarity. Familiarity that has no rightful place in the imagination of a child.

More bluntly: if that is one of the kid’s toys, we have discovered a considerably worse problem than whether the toy enjoys its job.

Well, technically they're being raped, but they like it. It's like when a race of creatures in a fantasy setting are happy in slavery. They naturally enjoy it the way toys naturally enjoy being played with.

...I think they were made for a storyline where it's consensual, so like Monika. So they must feel extra awful because they would gladly fuck the shit out of you, but are forced to stay quiet as you use them, knowing you don't know either.

I like to think that if they were unhappy with their situations, some of them would do something about it, considering how the toys got revenge on Sid for mistreatment.

The alternatives are all extremely dark and I wouldn't want to diminish what actual humans go through with abusive partners by digging into it.

Which means that because all the toys are clearly sentient, they all must have a soul by your own logic.

And because they have a soul, they must go to heaven. Which means heaven is full of commercial toys.

Is there an instance in the series of a toy dying? Don't they just keep being sentient regardless of damage sustained?
