A new setting added to a humanoid robot called “Frigid Farrah”, allows men who own the robot to simulate rape. The company argue that the idea that allowing men to “rape” robots could reduce rates of sexual violence. But the fact is that they are selling to their customers what they want.

FiLia is a charitable organisation committed to the promotion of equality and diversity, the promotion of women’s human rights, and the arts.

The True Companion robots raise the issue of the repercussions of normalising sexual crime. In Ms Bate's view, the company's products muddy and worsen the still much-misunderstood area of consent.

A representative from True Companion told The Independent: "We absolutely agree with Laura Bates...Roxxxy is simply not programmed to participate in a rape scenario and the fact that she is, is pure conjecture on the part of others."
