Ugh. I thought I heard the last of this on this site years ago in some article. Look, we've all been there, where we're lonely and depressed (and if you haven't, well... uhh... FUCK YOU!) but turning down an actual sentient person for the idea of a person is just downright wrong, not to mention it robs you of many of the simple pleasures of intimacy. Like hugging, kissing, and all of that fun stuff. You know, the stuff that gives you a sense of tactility in the relationship. Not to mention those pics aren't going to have a 100% less chance of saving your ass when you're hurt and/or near death. Yeah, sure, you won't get into fights with pictures (unless you're schizophrenic, in that case you should get help ASAP) but it's surviving and sorting through the hardships that help you grow as a person and strengthen relationships.
