It's usually negative trying to blame men for sexism. It's angry feminists every where. What is the deal with that? Do you see a change in that from, let's say, five years ago until now? Is it getting worse? Is it getting better? What would help to remove that stigma? I mean, I'm putting in my two cent for that shit. Yeah. Well, that's a big reason why we talked, why I wanted to reach out to you, Ellie. I think that you can help Harken in a new era of doll owners under the guise of companionship, and maybe we can start to change the image there. But even you said there's only so much you can do, right? One cheap sex doll is always some people say we're not innovating.

I always disagree. We're constantly innovating. We are the original innovators. And one of the things that the battle has to now be fought on the culture war surrounding companion dolls, mini sex doll, hell, even sex toys, there's plenty of things to be said. Even, I think you mentioned it, that there's not as many sex toys for men as there have been for women. That's definitely changed, if that's any indicator of things. I think we're constantly seeing way more, I guess you would say, a Coutura for men than used to exist.

So I think that's a good sign. I think the world is opening up about it. I think what we're seeing first, I don't know if this will ever change to full acceptance, mass speaking, but we're seeing a lot of indifference, which is better than what we used to see. So indifference is, while not great, is certainly better than hatred, disgust, anger, and loathing for people who have companion dolls. So I think most people would take that would take indifference over those things. I will say also, if you look at all the companies that have popped up in the last five to ten years that are manufacturing these, that too should show you how many more people are purchasing them.

But there's a problem, and this is the problem I'm hoping to change this year, actually. I'm happy to announce this. We haven't set a time or a date, but Ellie, you're kind of one of the first people that we're going to get involved in doing this, but we're going to probably start giving away a lot more free dolls within the next year or two. But it's going to be a contest to help normalize the doll community in general. And so to enter to win, you essentially are going to have to do like a little video with yourself, full face, talking about why you think that you would be a good candidate to get a real doll and how it could change and help your life. Whether whether they want to talk about sex or not, that's fine, but I think that people are afraid to talk about their dolls, and maybe it's just fully so there's a stigma. You can't just tell anyone that you have a companion doll. First of all, you're fighting a really hard battle, Ellie. You're fighting a battle that is to turn something that so many people have known as as a sex doll for so many years into something that's a companion doll.
