==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 |
||
⚫ | |||
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.<ref>[https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/109588165/#q109588165 /co/ thread w/ (possibly) the earliest mention of "Emmy" and earliest instance of Emmy as OP pic]</ref> The appealing concept of nandroids made lasting impressions on /co/mrades, and the series quickly developed a dedicated fanbase that is largely responsible for creating plenty of Nandroid-related greentexts and drawings, with several OC's (named "fandroids") becoming well-known amongst the community. Thus, a dedicated booru site was created to house all of these fanart. |
|||
Emmy was first nominated for [[Ms. /co/ 2019]] under the name "Dominic Cellini art", as her webcomic series hasn't serialized yet. She failed to get past qualifiers, placing 164th with 50 votes. In [[Ms. /co/ 2020|2020]] she was embroiled in one of the tournament's biggest controversies when an user called Basil Anon exposed a Peruvian Facebook page calling users to vote for the nandroid (and other girls like [[Miko Kubota]]).<ref>https://archive.vn/gCJOJ#selection-12001.1-912.3</ref><ref>[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1600/12/1600125459079.jpg Screenshot of Random Cartoon reposting Anon's Miko post verbatim]</ref> The page is further revealed to have brigaded for [[Spinel]] last year, further raising questions about the legitimacy of the gem's title.<ref>[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1600/12/1600128741161.png Screenshot of Random Cartoon posting 2019 Ms. /co/ final]</ref> At the same time, she was also targeted by an infamous shitter known as "Fusefag"<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/RU6YDsy Fusefag Advisory]</ref>, further damaging her reputation in the tournament. Because of this, the majority of her supporters decided to vote her out as soon as possible to save face. As a result of the 2020 shitstorm, Emmy has become heavily associated with Peruvians in Miss /co/ lore. |
|||
Emmy returned in [[Ms. /co/ 2021|2021]] where she was seeded 14th, but her already polarizing reputation caused her to get narrowly spite-voted out of the first round against ''Futurama's'' [[Amy Wong]]. Her 2021 appearance is largely remembered for a series of campaigning images posted by "schizo anon" (named because of its potentially seizure-inducing bright colors and rapidly blinking pictures) . |
|||
Outside of /co/, Emmy's popularity began to rise in the /pol/itically incorrect board from early 2020 onwards. She emerged as a popular subject on the board's frequent sexbot and robowaifu threads because of her attractive appearance and subservient, loyal nature. This fits the board's "replacing femoids" narrative, which basically states that robot girls should replace female humans as ideal partners/spouses. |
|||
The nandroid will next be eligible for [[Ms. /co/ 2022]]. |

Emmy's history in the Ms. /co/ tournaments began as a FOTM girl during the [[Ms. /co/ 2019|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 <span style=" color:#117743;">'''OP''' !vLTteyo/Xk</span> 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=== |
|||
[[File:emmy battle for round 1 2020.png|thumb|280px|right|A mock Wikipedia-styled War infobox summarizing the "Battle of Round 1". OC by Anonymous]] |
|||
Now with a proper serialized webcomic at her side, Emmy returned in the [[Ms. /co/ 2020|2020 contest]] with high hopes of qualifying. However, she was targeted throughout the whole tournament by a noted troll (presumed to be <abbr title="fusefag/gatsky">''"that massive faggot"''</abbr><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/RU6YDsy Fusefag Advisory]</ref><ref>[https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/103254101/#103262752 An example of Fusefag's true nature]</ref><ref>[https://desuarchive.org/co/search/text/a%20fusion%20universe/username/fusefag/ He keeps pushing his tourney that no one likes] |
|||
</ref>) 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 to satisfy some Emmyfags, who didn't expect her to do well in the first place.<br><br> |
|||
Emmy's debut match pitted her against ''Xiaolin Showdown's'' [[Wuya]], which brought a sizable amount of banter, greentexts, and 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 [[Basil|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 and encouraged users to vote for Emmy (and to a lesser extent [[Miko Kubota|Miko]]).<ref>https://archive.vn/gCJOJ#selection-12001.1-912.3</ref><ref>[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1600/12/1600125459079.jpg Screenshot of Random Cartoon reposting Anon's Miko post verbatim]</ref> 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.<ref>[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1600/12/1600128741161.png Screenshot of Random Cartoon posting 2019 Ms. /co/ final]</ref> |
|||
[[File:basilanon discovers fb page.png|thumb|700px|center|Basilanon's post giving the link to the Facebook page responsible for brigading the contest.]] |
|||
Since outside brigading is very much frowned upon in online popularity contests, Basilanon's revelation caused an uproar in the Ms. /co/ threads, causing users to call for Emmy's disqualification or even restarting the entire round. However, the host <span style=" color:#117743;">'''stats anon''' !l0rbLHJjBY </span> decided to let the voting run its course, which ended with Emmy securing her first win by 126 votes, putting her in a second-round bout against Marvel's [[Gwenpool]].<br><br> |
|||
Although ''Random Cartoon'' posted a statement saying they will no longer link to the contest again,<ref>https://www.facebook.com/randomcartoon2/posts/350758002935458 "We've been scolded; we're not posting it again"</ref> the one-two punch of fusefag spamming and Facebook brigading already dealt severe blows to the robot's campaign, causing Emmyfags to express disappointment and regret over the whole debacle. Many desired to have Emmy be voted out as soon as possible in order to preserve whatever dignity she has left. The fans also didn't want another Spinel-like situation where going further meant that backlash against Emmy will grow bigger --- which for a small fanbase is a death sentence --- because it can potentially destroy any chance of future Emmy-related discussion and fanart on the board. |
|||
At the end of round 2, despite the troll's "best" efforts by spamming asterisks, Emmy's sufferings were finally laid to rest as she is mercy killed out of the tournament by Gwenpool. This is one of the few instances in Ms. /co/ history where a girl losing this early is considered a victory for her fans. |
|||
<u>'''TL;DR:''' Fusefag* initiated a one-man smear campaign against Emmy, and to make things worse, a Peruvian FB page was exposed trying to solicit votes for her. Emmyfags acknowledged her dire situation, so they decided to gracefully bow out from the competition ASAP to prevent further controversy. They didn't want their nandroid to be associated with cheaters; they just want her to come home early, get out of this mess, and hopefully have their own weekly threads in peace.</u> |

The Emmy fanbase is known for having a sizable number of writefags and drawfags, so it's no surprise that she gets many fanarts in the Ms. /co/ntests. The ''Random Cartoon'' incident became one of 2020's most infamous highlights, with Emmy becoming heavily associated with '''Peru''', the country from which the Facebook page is thought to originate from. It was largely interpreted with events such as the robot being banished to the South American country, or as an (implied) gang-rape scene done by poncho-wearing immigrants. |

Revision as of 17:44, 20 September 2021
Emmy is the titular protagonist of Dominic Cellini's webcomic series Emmy the Robot. She is a "nandroid" (nanny + android), 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 serves as a caretaker for the Delaire family. and their daughter, Madeleine.
Emmy first appeared in a character sheet posted by Dominic on Twitter in July 20, 2019[1], and a comic titled Android Etiquette Rule 15 was released on the same website one day later, which would become the series' first official chapter[2]. Starting on April 5th 2020, all chapters related to the series were uploaded to Webtoons.com, and has been serialized with more chapters since then.
The series gained significant popularity in the /co/ board where it gained a dedicated fanbase, which has produced a wealth of their own original content, including fandroids such as Avery the Tombot. Likewise, Emmy is a popular subject of fanart in the Ms. /co/ tournaments, but after the Ms. /co/ 2020 debacle her supporters have started to distance themselves from this event.
Tournament history
Emmy was first nominated for Ms. /co/ 2019 under the name "Dominic Cellini art", as her webcomic series hasn't serialized yet. She failed to get past qualifiers, placing 164th with 50 votes. In 2020 she was embroiled in one of the tournament's biggest controversies when an user called Basil Anon exposed a Peruvian Facebook page calling users to vote for the nandroid (and other girls like Miko Kubota).[3][4] The page is further revealed to have brigaded for Spinel last year, further raising questions about the legitimacy of the gem's title.[5] At the same time, she was also targeted by an infamous shitter known as "Fusefag"[6], further damaging her reputation in the tournament. Because of this, the majority of her supporters decided to vote her out as soon as possible to save face. As a result of the 2020 shitstorm, Emmy has become heavily associated with Peruvians in Miss /co/ lore.
Emmy returned in 2021 where she was seeded 14th, but her already polarizing reputation caused her to get narrowly spite-voted out of the first round against Futurama's Amy Wong. Her 2021 appearance is largely remembered for a series of campaigning images posted by "schizo anon" (named because of its potentially seizure-inducing bright colors and rapidly blinking pictures) .
The nandroid will next be eligible for Ms. /co/ 2022.
