  Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.

    The use of date in terms of prostitutes is also very wierd although maybe common in a nudge nudge wink wink your not a cop are you kind of way.

      A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.

  It’s also, in the end, a type of video game. You can’t “date” an npc. I really dislike the use of the word.
