Sexualization of Animal Crossing

[Gizmodo]

Idk i find it disturbing, i understand hentai to a certain extent, even though i actively avoid it, and cant see how people would be attracted to it :s but sexualised animals is just going too far, and anything to do with animals in a sexualised way is typically taboo anyway

Tbf i dont even understand those who want Isabelle to be their wife etc, i find that abit weird too :s
But each to their own, i wont judge, plenty of things i like that people would find weird

Doesn't really bother me so much and yea I agree great place to escape too. I'm 16 going on 17 don't really feel pressured to be with anyone.

I'm 11, So I don't go on image galleries much.
But I saw a picture of the Dobutsu No Mori cast(Ai, Rosie and Margie) with the wind blowing.. And their panties showing.. And Ai didn't have that much covering, But it still blocked THAT place.. O_e.
I'm overall disgusted at these people. I was doing a paper on Furries (The normal ones who just draw Anthro), and 90% of the pictures I found in the gallery had very little or NO clothes on.. It was disturbing, And at my age, SHOCKING.
Overall, I wish these people would leave My Little Pony and animal crossing alone.

After a while, you tend to switch off from it..unless, of course, there's something very..well, let's just say "disturbing". My only question is "Why?"

It proves the maxim "If it exists..." I kinda wish it didn't, but, that's other people for you.

After being in the Brony fandom for a while, I think I'm just sort of... immune to sexualization of any game or cartoon characters that were originally designed to appeal to a younger audience. Some of the pictures I do actually like, mostly for the style/art, and I do follow some NSFW artists on sites like Tumblr. If you want to avoid that kind of stuff, just download something like TumblrSavior and blacklist #nsfw, put SafeSearch on, etc. and be done with it.

I know what picture you are talking about I didn't find it sexual in anyway at all more cute than anything, Animal Crossing has always been innocent. Maybe your just thinking the wrong way lol

 

[Riesz]

It doesn't bother me per se, but I am a bit disappointed (not surprised) it exists.

To me this is such a light-hearted, innocent, cute game and adding sexual elements is completely unnecessary.

 

[ghostytrickster]

i just kind of avoid it. i wouldn't be happy or change my kinks if someone said they didn't like them so i can't really expect someone else to change their kinks or be happy with me if i started saying things too. as long as it never progresses to anything with actual animals i dont really see a problem as long as i dont have to be forced to stare at it either.

since i used to be really into my little pony a few months ago, i kinda got used to the whole r34 thing because its so popular in that fandom. the animal crossing art that is inappropriate really isn't much of a bother to me since i don't see it as often when i go on animal crossing tumblrs and what-not.

if someone is into creating that kind of art, i don't mind since i have the choice exit the website or page that is showing the picture to me at any time.

 

[beebs]

I don't care for it, but it doesn't particularly bother me. Maybe I've just browsed too many deviantart/danbooru/whatever image dump sites. I'm pretty desensitized at this point.

I was going to say 'Ah, it's not my thing but each to their own. It's only cartoons so it's not really hurting people.' until I saw this post:

I'm 22 so it doesn't shock me, but really it shouldn't be so accessible that 11 year olds can accidentally stumble upon it.

the thing is, no matter what fandom you are a part of, these type of images will be leaked out. about 3 or 4 years ago, i remember being and 3rd grade and playing this online game called FooPets (a site mainly for 13+, but younger kids were allowed) and spammers would constantly post inappropriate pictures all over the forum and the stupid moderators did

n o t h i n g.

even though that was just on that one site, the internet is a place where anyone can go - including twisted people who don't have common sense when posting photos on child sites. :c

I actually wasn't aware of that...creepy, I think. I saw pictures like that for Pokemon once and it actually made me feel sick. Probably because I associate it with my childhood and you don't really want to (usually) relate childhood and sex..just my opinion.

 

[Carol_tama]

jmeleigh23, there are like TONS of porn and other stuff like this about pokemon in the Internet, especially on 4chan.

But, well, I find it very disturbing as I've always thought about AC as sth pure, innocent and related with childhood and I like it this way. So, yes - sexualizing AC (and pokemon) bothers me a lot. xd

 

[Azzurro]

It bothers me when I see it, but if I don't look for it, I won't be bothered.

But my opinion on the matter is.. I think it's insanely disgusting. It's an innocent, charming game. How pixels can be attractive to someone is beyond me. But there's nothing anyone can do.

People, including myself, like weird things sometimes. I guess I shouldn't be judging.. But.. Jeez, man. .-.

 

[ForestRabbit]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Certain poses can be pretty suggestive. I don't mind when I encounter cheesecake photos of Dita Von Teese, Betty Paige, or some other pin up models on tumblr. However, I would scroll down real quick when my more favorite innocent type of media gets turn into provocative art shows up my page-- I just pretend that it wasn't there. lol.

I'm generally against sexualization of anything, Animal crossing being no exeption. There is already enough sexual material on the internet without that belonging to any kind of series that doesn't try to be sexual. Why not stick to that? Why do you need more? I don't think I'll ever understand or agree with it.
But no. it doesn't disturb me at all, I guess it only annoys me a bit that those dirty creeps can't keep their hands of anything...

 

[Leanne]

Maybe I am a bit a young to comment on this, but I grew up with two oldest brothers, and like they used to say...

"There's porn of everything on the internet."

I think it's called "Rule 34"?

It's not something I'd watch personally, but to each its own ^^;.

 

[Sleepy]

This does bother me a bit. It is Animal Crossing :_: I mean, we can't control the internet. I've never actually seen any of this, but I have heard that it does exist. Which is scary.

To be honest, I suspect people make it just for the shock value of corrupting something so pure. It is almost a mocking parody. Clearly not a tasteful one. I don't think people have genuine interests in an adult version of animal crossing.
