Ahh... Nothing can avoid sexualization now-a-days, can it? ~_~
Its always been like that, the only difference is now the average person has the internet on which they can share their "weird" and Taboo fetishes with the world and others who enjoy the same things, and people who don't like it are free to innocently stumble across it.
The human race is obsessed with sex. If you go by Freud, everything we do is influenced by sex in some way. Things were sexualized before the internet, and probably still will come the day that the internet ceases to exist. As Absentia said, the internet just made it easier for such things to be spread around and seen.Kind of my point. Ever since the Internet has been around, anything and everything is sexualized in some way. I doubt there was this much sexualization before the Internet. It seems like today's generations are obsessed with sex, which grosses me out most of the time.

You're saying I'm not human?
I suppose it's because people openly talk about it, where as way back when, people were more hush-hush with talking about sex.
I was searching for that pic, and I found this. I think it's pretty darn funny.

I consider myself fairly open-minded, but to me, Animal Crossing has always been a great place to escape the pressures of modern life and just be a kid again. One of these pressures that I'm happy I can avoid here is the pressure to be good looking and attract others. I'm not saying that my desires to be with someone are not partially mine, but I do feel like there's a certain pressure to be with someone. I'm 19 and I know I'm young, but sometimes I kind of feel like an old maid.
Animal Crossing is great because I don't have to worry sexual pressures while I'm researching or playing it. There is not a single romantic aspect in that game and it's kind of nice.
However, when I stumble onto sexualized Animal Crossing art, it really bothers me. I know the whole rule 34 thing, but I just wasn't expecting it. I accidentally stumbled upon a picture on Shizue with her undies showing in tumblr and it just felt very wrong.
Are you guys okay with stuff like that? Why or why not?
