Some times you don't think about how weird this shit gets until you explain it to someone else.

Every anime ever

Were the dryads 10,000 year old 12-year-old girls?

I hate this aspect so much. Like, bro, can't you just make cool cartoons without sexualizing the characters?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

Or just make the sexualised characters slightly more age appropriate. Gimme hot moms in their 30s or something

Everything in life is directly or indirectly about sex. We're literally machines "designed" for the purpose of procreation, i.e. sex. Just makes sense that all our stories are about it as well :D

While one can squint hard to see the connections to procreation with enough steps in between, that doesn't mean everything should be sexualized. Working a farm to produce food food is necessary for one to live long enough to reproduce, but farming isn't about sex.

Plant/insect/plant interracial threesomes. Insect prostitution. Animal sex. Animal prostitution. Animal masturbation, forced impregnation.

Every single fertility god and goddess throughout history is giving you the side-eye right now.

Obviously people like sex and want things sexualized, otherwise it wouldn't be created. I like sexualized comics. If you don't like it, then no one forces you to select to read/watch the comics that are sexualized. Obviously, since many people like sexualized stuff, you will have to deal with the (probably smaller) selection of comics that don't do it, of which I'm sure they exist.

I just don't understand the need to hate things like this. I don't hate it if a comic isn't sexualized, even though that's not what I prefer.

Also their 10,000 year old mental facilities just happen to align with a 12 year old's personality because of their super long life spans! That's totally not weird at all!
