BBQboi-_-

@_Izzy_ okay

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

@Ⴑohnny.ƧƧ 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

@BritishUnity I agree that it obviously isn’t instantaneous but it’s weird That it’s more accepted generally

ladiesman217

people online will sexualise anything and everything and thats just how it is

not that its okay but like theres no way to stop it so try not to get too angry otherwise youll be like permanently pissed off with the sheer number of issues we have in the world right now

?

@ladiesman217 we arent mad necessarily but its good to have these conversations, its mainly to see if anyone else has also noticed this and give ppl a chance to talk about how they feel abt it:)

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

sc4retic

why do we ALWAYS need to bring up kaaatie
