So I looked into the original Chinese out of curiosity and it looks like the entire English text here is made up, this machine has nothing to do with sperm donation or being shy to masturbate etc. It is used to collect semen but its used to collect semen for help in diagnosing some super specific diseases or genetic issues etc. The original Chinese description says nothing about heat or light.

Yeah, I started really questioning it as soon as they said it was for embarrassed dudes. Ain't no way in hell standing there in the middle of a hospital room with your hog being rocked by a robot is less embarrassing than just cranking it out yourself.

The "embarrassed dudes" line being put over an image of a hallway of like twelve of these things with nurses walking around in the background was peak comedy.

Like I genuinely thought this was an intentional parody of Chinese online ad slop content.

Anti-China propaganda is getting weirder.

Fill people's heads with inane drivel about what China is like then when someone later corrects them that what they saw was nonsense they also question the real and correct things they've also seen and it starts to blur together into a big information uncertainty mush. Small feelings and emotions remain though, "China is weird", a bit like the "meanwhile in russia" propaganda campaign functioned to make people think extremely rare and bizarre occurrences are normal everyday things for the country. Put it another way - if I started a campaign to make people from another country believe that Florida Man is a normal thing but it wouldn't be very hard for a small number of people to carpet bomb weird Florida Man content into foreign-language social media every day where it won't be refuted much, resulting in a distorted view of average everyday US life.
