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.

...I think they were made for a storyline where it's consensual, so like Monika. So they must feel extra awful because they would gladly fuck the shit out of you, but are forced to stay quiet as you use them, knowing you don't know either.

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 erec...

From what I remember, kind of putting the subtle hints together; his dad isn't exactly a good role model. I think I wrote about this before, but there's a good read between the lines indication of abuse, trauma, and neglect. I might be over-thinking it but having worked in education, I've seen that kind of behavior.

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.

Not OP but thanks. I always thought it was rep for reputation

No. They don't exist. The universe does not contain them. This is a wholesome story with a strong emphasis on the word story. A story can be whatever you want but the intention was probably not to create a universe in which toys are sentient unknown to their makes and in which they are tortured through rape. You can imagine that if you want but it is surely not the artists intent.

Maybe this is what they live for. They know their purpose and they love their people just like Woody loves Andy. Imagine a movie plot where Sarah moves to a new state and forgets her vibrator collection. She doesn’t realize it yet but all the vibrators team up to embark on a madcap adventure to reunite with Sarah. On the way they they find a sad discarded buttplug with no owner and they bring h...

That's a porn parody plot. And a good one.

There are army guys, so there is war, violence, death and murder. Their world is not that wholesome.

People often apply adult concepts to kids. Which is a huge mistake. Kids don't view things the same, but many adults can't understand that concept, so everything turns into in even though it isn't meant that way.

Which means that because all the toys are clearly sentient, they all must have a soul by your own logic.

And because they have a soul, they must go to heaven. Which means heaven is full of commercial toys.

Would you freak out if your vibrator starts moaning when you use it?

But so, do adult toys go to heaven too, or to hell?

The existence of Forky means almost certainly yes. Apparently, using any object for entertainment in some fashion makes it capable of becoming sapient. This creates a lot of potential fridge horror scenarios.

Is there an instance in the series of a toy dying? Don't they just keep being sentient regardless of damage sustained?

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 requisit...

Then why are the buzzes still in package aware in toy story 2?

If you want a less dark explanation, I think the toys are powered by both individual and collective imagination. Really popular toys like Buzz gain sentience immediately, because there are masses of children already thinking of them that way so much so that proximity isn't needed. Non-toy items like Forky can gain toyhood and sentience from a concentrated dose of imagination. Most toys would be somewhere between those two extremes.

You could also go a step further and say collective imagination results in a lower quality sentience, explaining all the Buzzes, green aliens, etc. starting out less self-aware.

I recall a comic strip from WAYYYYY back where the joke was that a fairy brought a sex doll to life Pinocchio style and the sex doll immediately hung herself. She was a recurring character, because she was functionally immortal though. I think the strip was called "Sexy Loosers"

This doesn't answer your question and is only tangentially related but when an opportunity comes up to share this you don't want to sleep on it.
