Horny internet nerds prefer cartoons instead of real women

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Since when?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Since anime and furries

[–] m_r_butts@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Furries were invented in 1976.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

And were originally associated with smutty comics/ advertisements! Basically animal pinups that were supposed to be edgy.

I'm not even a furry, but I really loved this video about it. (It's long form)

[–] Taiatari@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well if you are not a furry then you might want to change the "we're" to "were"

Freudian slip?

But real women smell! (so do real men)

People aren’t original and are bandwagoning on whatever content gets traction.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Maybe it's the instance I'm on, lemme(dot)ee, but I have absolutely no clue what's going on since I ain't seeing any sailor moon ai art.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you scroll the main lemmy feed and get even a few pages down you'll undoubtedly start encountering tons of AI art/porn lemmy communities. I block each one but it's like whack-a-mole

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That explains it a little. I have NSFW turned off.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

They're just in the AI generated images, idk why dude said NSFW, but I guess its spread there too 🤷‍♀️

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I've definitely seen those, but never sailor moon specifically. I also don't block them since I've already scrolled down far enough that there usually isn't really any good content left to find at that point.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Wut? I haven't seen any over the past few says. Do you have any examples?

Fuck that got me.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Okay, it's kind of funny.

[–] Otherwise_Direction7@monyet.cc 3 points 11 months ago

‘Sailor Moon’ taken too literally

I feel mostly responsible. I am not sorry.

[–] bestnerd@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Need more

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Nice.

[–] FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

I've had that sub blocked for so long I forgot it existed

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I see Anime, I block. I'm a simple man.

russian, japanese or otherwise 'communist' Japanese = 'communist'???

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Born in 84, loved Saber Rider and The Star Sheriffs and the like. Never was a fan of that typical wacky behavior in Anime. Plus I liked Saber Rider and others in spite the art style.

And as time went by, I got more and more annoyed of being bombarded with Anime almost anywhere. (That's how I imagine not being a Star Wars fan when new stuff is out) Plus it seemed to become a beast of its own with huge eyes, screaming and so much cuteness, it makes me puke. It's just not for me.

And I loved Metro 2033, even though I never made it past the first two chapters of 2034. It just didn't click.

So, no. No lefty, nor right. Only human.

That's me, but that's not why I block anime. A lot of it on Lemmy is really creepy. Very childish looking characters, with very womanly features, in very sexual depictions. I don't understand the appeal, and don't want to understand the appeal. As far as general anime like Altered Carbon, or Ghost in the Shell, I think that stuff is pretty cool. But that's not what I see a million posts of here on this platform, so I just added keywords to filter all of it out.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Based response and I'm with you. I could watch Bebop, Trigun, GiTS all day but some of the newer anime stuff just puts me right off

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

'71 here! We SO loved all the Robotech/Macros stuff back in the day. We'd never seen anything like it!

But yeah, I block about every anime group I find because it's either hyper-sexualized little girls or furry fucking.

So for me, it has nothing to do with it being Japanese in origin. Hell, we were the original weeaboos. And for that matter, my wife is half Japanese.

As for the rest of GenX? Obviously I can't speak for all of us, but I'm not sure I've heard anyone say, "I don't like that Japanese/Russian/communist art/entertainment." That would be weird.
