Topic: Is there a reason why Joi is the most popular character on 4chan?

Warning! The following paragraph contains minor spoilers from the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049.
She is basically a statement about the future of products such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home. It was a statement that in the future people will start feeling so desperate for love and acceptance that they seek out those needs from some holographic projection that resembles a person rather than an actual person. And yet there is always a thread on /tv/ about how they are depressed that Joi isn't a real product that is purchasable yet they mock those who left the theatre after a showing of James Cameron's Avatar crying because Pandora and Na'vi weren't real. Have we become this embarrassing of a society that we desire to seek out relations with machines than our own selves?

Seek out what? Sticking your dick into light is not going to be very exciting. The vagina projection as light only is going to be a terrible letdown.

It doesn't have to be a holographic projection since we do have sex robots about to hit the marketplace. But it seems like there are nerds out there willing to accept a holographic lover too. Especially if they could have sex with it as portrayed in the film.
They way the main character has sex with the hologram is by having sex with an actual prostitute and the hologram masking itself on top of her to where it's essentially him fucking two women even though one of the women is living through the other one.
