Described as naively innocent, Emmy initially undergoes training at the Sterling facility before being shipped off to an affluent suburb named Hawthorn Grove, where she now serves as a caretaker for the Delaire family. The comic series has garnered positive reception for its art and wholesome tone.

Emmy is the titular protagonist of the webcomic Emmy the Robot, created by Dominic Cellini. A contestant with a cult following and turbulent history in Ms. /co/, Emmy first appeared in the 2020 main bracket as seed #5, but was eliminated in the second round. She will be eligible in the 2021 edition.


Description

Emmy is a "nandroid" (a portmanteau of nanny and android/gynoid), a high-end line of robotic maidservants developed by the company Sterling Robotics to provide care for human families. Described as naively innocent, Emmy initially undergoes training at the Sterling facility before being shipped off to an affluent suburb named Hawthorn Grove, where she now serves as a caretaker for the Delaire family. The comic series has garnered positive reception for its art and wholesome tone.

Emmy first appeared in a character sheet posted by Dominic on Twitter in July 20, 2019.[1] One day later, the artist posted the series' first official chapter.[2] The webcomics were also posted in Dominic's Instagram account.[3] All entries related to the story were re-uploaded to Webtoons starting on April 5, 2020, with a "cleaner" image as opposed to earlier releases having a "grainy" effect to them. Since then the comics has had a weekly schedule, until it was switched to a bi-weekly release on June 26, 2020.

The earliest mention of Emmy as the nandroid in 4chan's /co/ board appears to be in a thread about "Cute robots" dated August 25, 2020, and is possibly also the first instance of her being used as the OP image.[4] The appealing concept of nandroids made lasting impressions among /co/mrades, and the series quickly developed a dedicated fanbase that is largely responsible for creating plenty of Nandroid-related fanart, with several OC's becoming well-known amongst the community. Thus, a dedicated booru site was created to house all of these drawings.

Outside of /co/ however, Emmy's popularity began to rise in the /pol/itically incorrect board starting from early 2020 onwards. She emerged as a popular subject on the board's frequent sexbot / robowaifu threads because, from their perspective, her attractive appearance and subservient, loyal nature makes them infinitely superior to female humans.



Tournament history

Emmy's history in the Ms. /co/ tournaments began as a FOTM girl during the 2019 edition, where her eligibility was questioned by several users because of a relative lack of official Emmy-related material at that time. The contest's OP ultimately decided to allow her in, using "Dominic Cellini art" as the source name because her series didn't have an official title yet. Emmy managed to amass 50 votes in the qualifiers but it wasn't enough for her to advance to the main bracket.


The 2020 Fiasco

Now with a proper serialized webcomic at her side, Emmy returned in the 2020 contest with high hopes of qualifying. However, she was targeted throughout the whole tournament by a noted troll (presumed to be "that massive faggot"[5][6][7]) who has a history of shitting up past nandroid threads. During the nomination round, the troll used the name "REMOVE /POL/ PROPAGANDA CHARACTERS", attempting to damage her reputation by posting many inflammatory comments intended to bait replies, pretending to be other anons (samefagging), and associating Emmy with "Nazis", "incels", and "brigades from /pol/". Maybe Tommorow protagonist Skyla was also similarly targeted with the same objective. While Skyla failed to qualify for the main bracket, Emmy's result was far more successful, having secured an unexpectedly high 5th seed. This was enough for some Anonymous fans, who didn't expect her to do well in the first place.

Emmy's debut match pitted her against Xiaolin Showdown's Wuya, which brought a sizable amount of banter, greentexts, and OC fanart for both contestants. Unfortunately, the robot got embroiled in an even bigger controversy later in the first round: an anonymous user known as "Basilanon" (named for its Detective Basil avatar) discovered that Random Cartoon, a Spanish-language Facebook page known for putting their watermarks on other people's drawings, had posted links to the Ms. /co/ threads. The posts gave instructions on how to vote in the contest, reminding them to vote for Emmy (and to a lesser extent Miko).[8][9] After further digging, the page was later revealed to have been posting links to the 2019 final campaigning for Spinel votes, which reignited disputes questioning the legitimacy of the gem's title.[10] Since outside brigading is very much frowned upon in online popularity contests, Basilanon's revelation caused an uproar in the thread, causing some users to call for Emmy's disqualification or restarting the entire round. The host stats anon ultimately decided to let the voting run its course.

Although Random Cartoon posted a statement saying they will no longer link to the contest again,[11] the backlash had already impacted the robot's campaign. Many Emmyfags expressed disappointment over the whole debacle.


, causing her to be voted out in the following round banished to Peru following a loss to Gwenpool.


Lore

The controversy has inspired several fanarts such as a mock Wikipedia-styled infobox depicting the "Battle of Round 1", and caused Emmy to be associated with Peru in Ms. /co/ lore.
