Does this class action lawsuit qualify as a teledildonics backlash?
The makers of the We-Vibe, a line of vibrators that can be paired with an app for remote-controlled use, have reached a $3.75 million class action settlement with users following allegations that the company was collecting data on when and how the sex toy was used. Standard Innovations, the Canadian manufacturer of the We-Vibe, does not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement finalized Monday.
The We-Vibe product line includes a number of Bluetooth-enabled vibrators that, when linked to the "We-Connect" app, can be controlled from a smartphone. It allows a user to vary rhythms, patterns and settings — or give a partner, in the room or anywhere in the world, control of the device. (You can see a video promoting the app's features here; be advised, it is briefly not safe for work.)
[...] The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Illinois in September. It alleges that — without customers' knowledge — the app was designed to collect information about how often, and with what settings, the vibrator was used.

The women I know who have large collections of expensive vibrators
You must know a hell of a lot of women to know a subset who have large collections of vibrators, and a subset of them who are prepared to discuss it with you - a sub-subset large enough to make a good statistical sample at that.
I wouldn't mind the whole "diversity" thing in media if they at least mixed (heh) things up a bit, but no, it's always Black man/White woman.
Well us white men could always make up for it by going for the black women the black men left behind - no, wait, the black men have already banged them up with kids and dumped them, and now they think that all men are shit. But then there are Asian women who seem to prefer white men; you rarely see Asian men in porn except dressed up as women, and even then it's white men who are banging them. Hasn't the World become a lovely place?
