Yeah chatbots suck off rip, rping with a Gojo bot is bad and if you wanna rp you go and engage with people with common interests and yes it's scary but connecting with people is scary in general and at the very least you have a shared interest with this person. That's why you're role-playing with them in the first place.

But god I am especially disgusted by how shameless this one especially is. The fact that it outright advertises and encourages its targeted demographic (people in fandom especially teens) to fucking recreate their mutuals in that godawful app WHO ARE REAL FUCKING PEOPLE IS ACTUALLY VILE

"Who needs friends when you can just talk to a bot who oh so obviously knows you better than anybody in real ever could?"

"Have an oc but nobody wants to listen to you talk about them? WHY NOT JUST TALK TO THEM YOURSELF MAKE YOUR OC YOUR NEW FRIEND :3"

"Why wait for your mutual who is being selfish by not letting you talk to them when you're up at 3am and they're clearly sleeping? JUST RECREATE THEM IN OUR APP. MAKE THE PERFECT OBEDIENT MUTUAL TODAY!"

It's so blatantly targeting those of us who do feel insecure about these things, those of us who are afraid to talk publicly about our interests and are terrified of so much as even mentioning we have ocs. It's blatantly targetting those of us who always second guess whether or not to reach out to mutuals we find cool or are intimidated by, it's preying on people's insecurities and further enforcing that shit by making these bots seem more appealing than actual human connections with all of it's necessary faults. It wants those of us who already feel lonely to be even lonelier so that they can get addicted to their app of which they proudly advertise under a cutesy #relatable aesthetic alongside uncredited stolen art of some random ass trending character.
