Well really it is quite a tame game looking at it. Much of Compile Heart's output of games is more disturbing than this, and that isn't even going into actual porn game territory. In fact the idea for the thing is basically directly from a Compile Heart game really.
That said the head design for Pepper is really rather weird. Wondering why they went for such an unusual and creepy shaped head. It is stuck somewhere is the range of angular anime character and just plain wrong.
The rest of the design of the robot seems mostly fine, except the iPad plastered on the front. For $2000 the design of the thing is rather lacking.

It's one thing to adapt technology for sexual purposes, but why seems Japan's always about un-consensual harrassment? At which point, it's less about lust and more about power and control. Is it because of emasculation of herbivore males?

If I was drinking anything, it would be all over my laptop right now.

I hope you realize the creator is a woman.
Man people are taking this way too seriously.

I have to say, what did they expect? Although I am a little surprised that the person who designed the mod is a woman.

And people may wonder why Japan has a decreasing birthrate.

I don't know which is funnier: The fact that they have done this, or the fact I am unsuprised they have done this. That is a seriously strange dilemma.

I think Senran Kagura, Valhalla Knight, Criminal Girls are closer to this? Then again, Fairy F was the only Compile Heart's game I ever played by far, so I can't tell for sure

One weird way of looking at this is the creators are finding a loophole around sexual assault/rape.

I don't know what's more amusing:
1) How fast this turned from "Advanced new robot" to "sekuhara simulator".
2) How many of you jumped to the conclusion of "LOL/Eww, pervert", and missed the signs of potential social commentary, or maybe satire (The utalitarian app name, the main designers gender, that handy "black list" feature).
3) How little neither surprise me.
