A women’s sex toy startup has been re-awarded the robotics prize from organizers of the annual CES gadget show after they revoked it, claiming the firm had violated its rules. An independent panel of judges had selected startup Lora DiCarlo’s Ose vibrator for a CES 2019 Innovation Honoree Award in the robotics and drone category. But the Consumer Technology Association disqualified the vibrator, telling the company it reserved the right to rescind awards for devices deemed “immoral, obscene, indecent, profane or not in keeping with CTA’s image.”
Lora DiCarlo called out the CTA’s decision, calling it sexist and pointing out that a sex doll for men was launched by CES in 2018. The event has also showed off VR porn several times, “allowing men to watch pornography in public as consumers walk by.” In an open letter criticizing CES, the firm said: “Other sex toys have exhibited at CES and some have even won awards, but apparently there is something different, something threatening about Osé, a product created by women to empower women.” The CTA said it “did not handle this award properly” and re-awarded the prize to Lora DiCarlo four months after the fact.
