There was rough areas of it.
It's as rough as it gets.
Yeah, I was glad to make the shift from incel researcher now to sex doll researcher.
So I've got the full gamut and they actually kind of connect in a way.
They're the main consumer base of sex dolls.
So I came across this amazing... That's an unfortunate way to open the sentence.
Let me rephrase that.
I happened upon this amazing data set that was publicly available that had all the body specifications of sex dolls that are on the market.
And this study that was published was very descriptive in nature.
It was just describing the dimensions rather than saying why they might be that way.
So I did my own analysis on it and showed that they reveal...
all the kind of classically predicted male mate preferences and it's interesting because these artificial depictions of female sexual beings are like a undiluted window into men's mate preferences because these dolls they can take on any form they're not limited by nature they're just literally whatever the consumer wants them to be like and there's this it's not just that the
creators of sex dolls make them that way and the consumers have no choice.
There's this co-evolution of the market with the consumer and the producer.
A good example is... They wouldn't buy something they didn't want.
Exactly right.
There's no market for really obese sex dolls.
Well, there's a smaller market, let's say.
There's a niche for everything, William.
But the dolls typified all the classic evolutionary predicted mate preferences, but except they did so in an extremely supernormal stimuli way.
