It's Sony, a Japanese company.

Why would they care about what people in private

Lol. Lmao, even.

Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.

Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc... Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It's simply gasp too obscene!

Sony: "How dare you even think about using our controller for that"

Hitachi: "Have I got a product for you"

Ah yes, Japan where Hitachi is from, famously not a company that made a magic wand.

Fun fact that's on sale right now on Amazon!

Hitachi ceased production of the device in 2013 due to concerns about having the company name associated with a sex toy. Vibratex convinced the company to continue manufacturing it under the name "Original Magic Wand," omitting the Hitachi name. In 2014, the company used the name "Magic Wand Original."

To be fair, it's probably a reasonable marketing decision to not have your industrial and home equipment company best known for its sex toys. I get where that came from.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 13 points 2 days ago

not a vibrator, it's a "personal massager" and how dare you suggest such a device could be used sexually!

On a serious note if you have a really bad cold, the magic wand pressed between your eyes while your face down will drain THE FUCK out of you sinuses and basically instantly clear out your head.

I suffer frequently from bad allergies bought the magic wand originally as a sex toy. Figured one day while suffering from a head so packed full of mucus that I wonder if it would help

HOLY FUCK DOES IT HELP

That really isn’t the case though. Love hotels, “gentlemen’s clubs”, and other adult institutions are heavily advertised, and sex toys can be found almost anywhere – drug stores, superstores, even connivence stores.
