Well, no one else wants to chat, so I suppose I’ll throw in my two cents - that perhaps sexual attraction to a consumer good represents the ultimate fetishization of products in first-world, highly capitalistic countries such as Japan or America, or (really, in addition) that attraction to the inadanimate - which has a long history in Western literature and art - has to do with literally fetishism and a disconnet from what is grounded and human, but also almost always reflects back on the subjects one understanding of self-identity. Hans Bellmer often thought of himself as female. Sadism toward the doll represents masochism toward the self. And in the modern world, the self is understood through mass-produced products and mass culture personalities.
