Quote:Are.. Are you talking about the button smasher one!? I doubt you are, but that's one of the pictures that deeply disturbed me! O.o
I'm not talking about that one, but I have seen it. It's weird.....especially how there is a triangle button icon in the middle!
Quote:Heh.. Are you referring to yourself? Or me? ..Or both?

I think he's referring to a little portion of all of us in this planet. Everyone acts like a bit of a perv sometimes, whether they realise it or not!
Quote:True. I'm not perverted. Many women know me as the kind guy whom is more likely to be an actual friend than someone whom goes googly eyed like most of the people at school.
If I'm attracted to a fictional character, then I can't do anything about it. It's just how the world goes. It floats my boat, so I won't fight it. But I always have a grip on reality.
I don't get to be around girls my age that often, because I go to an all-boys school AND live out in the country, but even I don't go googly eyed like all the other guys. Although in my mind I might find them attractive, I don't stare at them or anything. I have had attractive girls put make-up on me in preperation for a musical, and even in the musical, my charcater was a kind of horny seebee, but I don't actually feel horny on-stage despite the female actresses looking attractive - I just act horny on-stage!
Yes, there is a difference between being attracted to it, and thinking it's real. As long as you can seperate reality from fiction, it's safe to be attracted to fictional characters, IMO.
Also, can we be blamed for it? I mean, the creators are the ones who make the characters attractive, and I know for a fact that the human characters are made attractive intentionally. Also, inter-species stuff is thrown in our faces all the time. For example, in Epic Mickey, there is a human pirate in love with a lactose intolerant cow.....you have a choice to help get them together, or make the cow(female) hate the pirate(male). I helped them get together, and they kiss. Not just a litlle innocent kiss on the cheek, but a good ol' snog......and there are millions of other examples out there across the media.
I like the Spyro art on Herpy, especially since most of it is actually of Cynder. There is one absolutely adorable pic of her on it. The pic is actually called "Sexy Cynder", but I just said "D'AWWW!!" when I seen it! It's my avatar on dA!
Quote:And he had been talking about how artists may do that art to challenge themselves.. so I assume I know what he meant..

Yep, it is an accomplishment if you can draw sexual stuff well. That's why I say "they challenge themselves".
Quote:This discussion has turned interesting. O.o Should this conversation even be aloud? D:
Was it not interesting before?

In all seriousness, I don't see why not. We are the only ones talking right now(maybe we drove people away!

), and it was bound to turn into this at some point. And if anyone is reading our posts and has a problem with them, then:
Phew, long post is long!
