People have a right to be squicked out by anything, but I think there is often a performative element to announcing that you find it gross when other people express attraction to drawings of people with obviously adult bodies.

Once again a clear case of fancops believing that they can consume problematic content in a “pure” and “critical” way, and that everyone else who likes that content is a “degenerate” “getting off to it”.
the tendency for racists and white supremacists to go gaga over their idea of ancient Rome is so darkly hilarious because of how entirely wrong it is. It’s not a twisting of some kernels of truth, it’s not a misinterpretation, it’s just the exact opposite, and people in Western Europe has been doing it for so long. For centuries people in Britain and Germany would be like/have been like “ah yes, we are special and superior because we are the heirs of the superior Romans” while next to a giant pile of writings by respected Ancient Romans who went “god, Britain is a dump and Germany is full of idiot barbarians. I wish I lived somewhere cool and cultured like Syria or Tunisia.”
#the amount of letters i read about roman soldiers bemoaning the lack of olives in britain is astounding
Also “I wish modern men were manly like the Romans” when we have so so so so many Roman writers bemoaning how everyone’s a bottom these days and wearing makeup and curling their hair
antis love sticking to totally arbitrary fandom rules where there are no clearly defined rules because they can’t handle not being in charge of the spaces they inhabit.
coming up with their own rules and demanding everyone adhere to them is the only way they can feel like theyre “playing nicely” with other people. they’re so entitled and bratty that not getting their way one time is call for riot lol
