Sexualization of Animal Crossing

[Fennec]

Yeah, I've just been blocking the tumblrs that regularly post anything that bothers me. It's pretty effective.

But I do wonder what kind of psychological research there is into the whole R34 phenomenon. I would just like to see what they can come up with. Perhaps it's more normal than I'd expect. Heck, Japan has had tentacle fetishes for over 100 years.

I don't think R34 is as deep and complexing as you're making it seem. Some people just enjoy looking at hentai or other anime "porn"

And yet psychologists and nueroscientists find it worth studying. There is science and psychology behind almost everything in life. If you'd like to learn more about this, I'd advise checking out the program Radiolab. It has programs about pretty much everything in life.

You can over analyze anything. Sure there may be some reason to why some people find it attractive but the bottom line is they find it arousing to view. I appreciate your links but I'm not interested.

As weird as it seems, some people draw porn for the sake of trolling. Drawing something disgusting and offensive and posting it is a good way to get angry responses out of people.

It really doesn't shock me... (Nothing really does anymore.)

I don't think it's the worst thing that can happen with Animal Crossing, really. But I will agree, there is a psychological aspect behind stuff like this. Everyone's into something, no matter how weird it may be to someone. I mean, like the rule goes: "If it exists, there's porn of it; if there isn't, porn will be made of it." Personally? I don't know if that's just sad or funny. If you don't like it, just steer clear of it. If it's unavoidable, just use some good ol'-fashioned mind bleach.

I personally don't like seeing it in art form, unless the style is drastically different from the standard Animal Crossing style... Though that doesn't stop my husbear and I from coming up with silly headcanons for some characters. X3

I have become fairly immune to offensive drawings, but I still am a teeny bit intrigued by those drawings. They make me wonder what ever could have caused a person to think that way about such an innocent game. When my BFF saw Sable say "hump day"...

This shouldn't surprise me. Yet it does.

 

[Hamusuta]

It doesn't really bother me to be honest.

But I do agree with you about the 'escape from reality' aspect you were going for

 

[XTheLancerX]

I dont like it because AC makes me feel like im in my earlier childhood when I was like 7 or 8 and didn't think about the harsh realities of growing older and just other things like that. AC is like a good dream you can have any time. Nostalgic, calming, ect..

 

[Nami]

Eh.. Shocked? No. Disgusted? You bet. Things like this led to rule 34, and I find it pretty sad that people turn something as natural as sexual desires into such abominations. The Internet can really suck sometimes, haha.

 

[gorgonara]

Dun' even phase me yo.

I've seem some stuff in my time, and i'm p much okay with whatever people are into.

 

[Lurrdoc]

I'll be honest. Isabelle is the only one I'd actually like nsfw artwork of. Honestly. Anyone else and to me it just seems weird. Everyone practically wants to marry her, rofl. I mean.. yeah. I'll see myself out. Unpopular opinion.

 

[CytricAcid]

Sometimes I wish I could escape to a fandom or community without any sexualization for once.... animal crossing is close, but i don't think it's possible. idk, i'm just tired of all the sexualization :/ i'm ok with other people being into what they want, but I wish it weren't so... publicized?

 

[salarian]

I feel like people should have the right to creatively express themselves. If they're not hurting anyone, then it's all fine with me. I don't really think panty shots of a fictional character is that big of a deal, to be honest.

 

[Redlatios]

Well, i don't have anything against it, but it really annoys me when im looking for cute AC art and i see a sexualized isabelle ._.

 

[........]

I was looking for a picture of Goldie earlier and I came across a very explicit one with her legs spread wide and a bunch of...uh, male parts in her face.. ._.

I wouldn't say I have anything against how people decide to picture things, but I was pretty disturbed by that.

 

[lovelikeacomicbook]

It's not too bothersome for me. I've only seen some references towards Isabelle but they've all been more towards the "Notice me, senpai!" route, which is more cute and innocent.

 

[kcrojas777]

I think I would have to see what you are referring to...so I am not sure exactly what the context is. Are we sure that these pictures were not for comedic sense? My thing is, people are into what they are into. One person may ridicule you for actually playing this game the same way you would ridicule them for making whatever said photos for whatever reason they do. That is my opinion. It is what it is, avoid posts and pictures like that. If they pop up without your willing to view them, that is sort of the dangers of the internet unfortunately. Maybe you can look for a flag button or something if it is on a site that would deem it inappropriate.

this. :/ completely.

like Redlatios said too, i don't have anything against it, everyone likes and dislikes different things.. but it is insanely annoying to find sexualized pictures when i search up 'cute isabelle acnl', when my little brother happens to walk by. e-e

it's just not my cup of tea. at all. lol.
