Because I hate the implication I have just created new head canon for my own sake. It’s the power of a child imagination and play that brings the toys to life. That’s why the fork comes to life in the fourth movie

So if a child found one abandoned and somehow innocently played with it enough then it would come to life but when used for an adults self-gratification it would not have the requisite for life.

I will not be taking questions on the plothole of why new in box toys are alive

Oh my God! That is dark.

Idk I think the "spark" that brings them to life isn't sustained by the child. The kid just brings them to life.

Have you seen what generally passes for a plot in hentai?

All slimes are poets

Kids don't think about fuck toys. It takes a certain degree of.. familiarity. Familiarity that has no rightful place in the imagination of a child.

More bluntly: if that is one of the kid’s toys, we have discovered a considerably worse problem than whether the toy enjoys its job.

I'm surprised this hasn't been buried.

I honestly feel like Sid gets a bad wrap. Like, yeah, he's a bit of a dick to his sister and doesn't have much respect for other people's possessions, but he's also a kid and at his age those things are entirely environmental. Hes also incredibly creative and capable. I'm pretty confident that, even as an adult with a well above average skill in fabrication, I wouldn't be able to make that erector set spider baby without researching it. Plus, he's got Barbie legs on a fishing pole, he's swapping the heads of dolls and dinosaurs, there's no way those things are going together without custom joints.

Yeah, he's horrifically maimed a bunch of sentient beings, but he wasn't aware they were sentient and they're all still living beings, even the fishing pole which would have been inanimate like other tool toys. He literally gave life to a toy that didn't have it. Kid should get some credit.

I'm now mildly tempted to search toy story porn, and rule 34. Nah, I know what I'll find.

Why not cars?

Seriously?

How holesome!

FYI it's "bad rap" (rap being an accusation or blame, think like how a rap sheet outlines the bad stuff you've done). A bad wrap is something you'd get at a restaurant.

Wtf did you have this ready for this moment?

Yeah that did it.

This question is 100% valid, but I really don’t want to think about it

I accept this head canon as my own without question

Wasn't there family dynamics of a sort in the Lightyear movie? I forget, but I do remember conservatives being pissed because there was a same sex couple with a child.

For french speakers (or with subtitles) there is a "kassos" short with this premise. I surely can find a link if it intrigues anyone

What about Man Children, who not only never put away childish things, but make their fetishized toys a central point of their personality?

Also there is a subplot where they are constantly in a jealous rage over her girlfriend and "she will never be good enough". But the plug helps they realize they can all be good together.

Isn't this the plot of the movie/show Dummy?

It begs the question what happens if an adult has a child like mind. Think some of the mentally unstable serial killers that are essentially children.

Yeah, hut then how are you supposed to get the porn parody where the sexdoll starts to help their owner get their life together and the show ends with them banging their new partner instead of the sexdoll.

I think there was a qibi show ... adjacent to that
Edit: someone posted it

Reads like fanfic some people might be willing to pay more for.

They were all made in sweatshops by children, no plot hole. ☹️

Only if the owner of the sex toy truly see's it as an individual

Perfect title!

They weren't being played with in their intended way. I'm sure the toy story sex dolls would be miserable if they were just dressed up and used to drive in the carpool lane.

Woody getting spit roasted by Rex and the horse?

You don't?!?

Also the "doll modding" community is a thing that exists and takes a lot of skill to do well.

And now we let rule 34 run it's course.

"You've got a friend in me..."

I mean, a lot of names could be reused:

Buzz, Woody, Rex, Bullseye, Lotso, Mr. Pricklepants... I'm gonna stop now, I'm ruining my own childhood.

are you implying that childlike wonder and spirit dies the moment hormones makes a kid horny for the first time?

So were the sex dolls.

So… westworld?

Easiest explanation is the factory they were made in uses child labor

And then little Billy finds his mom's dildo...

This is part of the reason why the robots took over to create the post apocalyptic Cars universe

Sexy Losers already answered this question

For a less bleak answer, they're powered by kids wandering through the toy store amazed at all the rows.

Well, technically they're being raped, but they like it. It's like when a race of creatures in a fantasy setting are happy in slavery. They naturally enjoy it the way toys naturally enjoy being played with.

“Now he just looks like he works at Nike.”

Also, a horde of Buzzes is really fucking creepy. Like plastic ants

Except... Aren't the toys completely aware of what they are and what their purpose is?

Well, except for Buzz in the first movie. Considering literally every other toy was aware of their purpose and existence makes Buzz a bit of a weirdo.

Yes they are, and depends on the flavor of the character they were based on, but generally, no they don't like it.

I turn off NSFW and this still pops up.
