Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The Dollhouse.
A bunch of hyper-sexualized women held in coffins against their will in a state of childlike innocence. Intermittently, they have personalities downloaded into them, using computer technology, making them Alpha-powered super-assassins.
When one of them gets too woke, she is suppressed, coerced, and gaslit into buying back into the fascist agenda of the faceless corporation running the Dollhouse.
Did you not finish the show? There's an entire apocalypse and redemption arc you're just glossing over.
I did.
Do you me the Apocalypse wherein anyone

could be reprogrammed over a loudspeaker, or a telephone callAs we lurch toward our own Apocalypse — take your pick between environmental, economic, technological, political, nuclear, or any combination thereof — it seems that Epstein-island espionage elicits ick in every instance.
That's most of the series.
It's just called Dollhouse
They also have men not just women.
And it's basically like Westworld except they have more personalities vs just western.
Its actually a very good show and is anti capitalist/ rich crazies
yes, thank you. OP really delivered a bad-faith description of the show. you've represented it more accurately.
As someone who's never seen this, this sounds like a good premise for something horribly dystopian. Unless the series isn't about how terrible this is...
Yes, they wind it down.

Most of the world is destroyed and they iced Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) for no good reason but shock.And the good guys pull off a very Pyrrhic victory. Closing the Dollhouse before they figured out how to make scenario: techno-nightmare happen would have made the series shorter. But, I'm pretty sick of the "we can't put the tech genie back in the bottle" defense. Under this ideal, every tech needs to grow to Godzilla size or fade into obsolescence.
