Simroid (a.k.a. 'Pain Girl') on TV



According to the interview, Simroid is modeled after a 28-year-old woman, and her fear of dentists and sensitivity to pain have earned her the nickname "Pain Girl" (Ita-gaaru). Asked why Simroid is female, Shibui explains that female patients must be treated with more sensitivity than male patients.


A perpetually open-mouthed female bot nicknamed "Pain Girl" who spends most of her time with her head level with the genitals of uniformed geeks? Why does this strike me as a veiled attempt at cybernetic kink?

Ha! Because you can see the obvious "extracurricular" after- hours possibilities! Note also the smile on the dentist's face--who knows what darkness lurks in the hearts of men, given the cybernetic opportunities?

Best not to go there.

Why not? Afraid of getting bitten and becoming twice shy? Ha!
