omg i just realized the only reason my goat Ryme from pokemon gets no attention despite being an AMAZING poc design is bc shes a older lady and ppl find characters like Nessa more sexualally appealing and that actually makes me a lil sad

Many popular โrepresentationโ characters end up being fetishized rather than genuinely appreciated. For example, many people initially disliked Brazilian Miku or Dominican Teto and even shamed the artists who created those interpretations. However, attitudes shifted once sexualized or suggestive drawings of those versions began circulating.
In the anime community, many race-related headcanons are only widely accepted when they align with someoneโs fetish or personal preference. Even Yoriichiโone of the most commonly cited Black headcanonsโis often discussed in ways that center on sexualization rather than character analysis or appreciation.
A similar pattern can be seen with Maki Zenin. Despite being a strong example of a character who dismantles patriarchal expectations in a society that shames women for trying to be powerful or confident, much of the mainstream attention toward her only surged once she began to be framed in a more sexualized way online. This shift often overshadowed the actual narrative themes of autonomy, resilience, and rebellion against systemic sexism that define her arc,she is actualy such damn good rep for women Istg
Similarly, BL and GL media are frequently consumed by straight audiences in ways that treat the relationships as โappealingโ or โexoticโ rather than engaging with them respectfully. Yaoi itself was historically popularized by groups of straight women while they were trying to gain traction in publishing spaces, which complicates how the genre is perceived and marketed today especially on social media platforms such as TikTokโฆspecifically TikTok actually.
@แฑohnny.ฦงฦง I agree but most/a lot of fetishization from somebody comes because they care while not everyone for something to be like that usually you'd end up watching the show thinking the characters amazing then it turns into fetishization maybe not for every case but more common then just pulling up a random anime character

take Kaaatie for example, her content was sexualized BRUTALLY and I lowk felt bad for her but most of that sexualization is mostly from the greasy lakes of reddit and toxic environments of twitter

also i'm pretty sure they mean people doing this stuff with REPRESENTATION so ts doesnt even fit here, don't talk about unrelated content farm stuff since this has nothing to do with this topic's proposal

@KiwiFarmsArkavel is that a streamer or smth? We're talking about how representation in media (like different races, sexualities, ect.) is usually only popular when it's sexualized (like all the most popular poc pokemon characters being vry sexualized in the fandom, or johnny's Brazilian miku example) but yeah celebrities face a simular thing, most famous females and some men are heavily sexualized, its vry sad

Kaaatie made this series called FPE, but apparently some people think most of the characters are hot n stuff and it all led to this disastrous period of time where it got so bad to the point where Kaaatie disappeared from the internet (she was 16 when she launched FPE back in 2024)
