I saw a post today that I'm still thinking about

It was something along the lines of "women are the only true gamers because men cannot play a game without characters or worlds that are sexually gratifying for them. Men are mentally incapable of engaging with media for anything else."

I genuinely thought it was satire but...it's real? People think this? I guess I shouldn't be surprised because radfems are everywhere. It's just...wow...

On the one hand they're finding superiority in a misconception that, in no world, matters. On the other, if you want to critique the patriarchal structures that promote male-gazey content in video games then talk about the larger, more systemic forces behind that

Also, literally every straight guy I've known that plays video games could not give a rat's ass about the titular content. They're there to play the goddamn game. They're not going monke brain "oooh booba" like come on, get real!

Yesterday my brother literally told me that he was excited the new game Metaphor:ReFantazio (which is basically a carbon copy of the persona games, same studio n everything) has no option for dating the confidants cause he just wants to play the game! My boyfriend plays like, Forza and Microsoft Flight Simulator. I'm rambling now but anyway that post was just so stupid I'm flabbergasted.

Writing hot take: I think acting like treating writing characters of the opposite sex as some kind of enigmatic riddle is so silly. I know people complain about men writing women as boobily breasting sex objects (or conversely women writing men as feral brutes), but I fear there's an over correction when people think that means there's some kind of challenge in writing the opposite sex.

It's literally so easy. If you just write them as human beings that you yourself can relate to, you're already like 90% of the way there. You can figure out the other 10% with the tiniest bit of empathy and attention toward real-life people who aren't exactly like yourself.

I feel like writers will put pressure on themselves and be like "ok, I wrote a female character, now how do I woman her up?" and then oversteer themselves into making that character's personality revolve around their gender, get too touchy about how they're representing them, stress themselves into shitty writing, and end up making things even worse than if she had just titted breastingly down the stairs.

Same goes with writing people of different races/sexualities. Like the self-induced pressure to conspicuously represent that aspect of their character results in some stiff writing that feels unnatural and limits their characterization. This also applies to writing characters in time periods you never lived, characters who have professions you never worked, etc. Just start with a three dimensional human and work from there, don't gag yourself acting like it's more complicated than it really is.

i think also a huge part of why artists majorly refuse machine-learning (bc that’s what it is, i refuse to call it ai bc it’s inaccurate and gives tech bros too much credit) is that the people currently championing and developing those tools actively want it to replace artists. They loudly and proudly hate the arts and want every creative professional put out of work. They want every creative HOBBYIST to give up. I have seen machine-learning art generators call us artoids (like ‘femoids’ incels or unhealthily online misogynists use to refer to women. To give you the idea of the kind of hate-fueled superiority we’re dealing with) and circle-jerk to the idea of art no longer being a career and no one being able to ask for commissions anymore.

Machine-learning tools are currently a symbol of people who see creativity and art as an enemy, a boogeyman to be slain. They are designed accordingly - stealing human work to create the data, designing it so that people can generate ‘sketches’ or ‘doodles’ to deceive the layman that it was hand-drawn, using real-world likenesses without consent, etc. When tech bros get tired of weaponizing machine-learning because they think we need to get ‘real jobs’ or that furry porn artists charge too much for comms and need to be stopped, it will probably be a lot easier for artists to embrace it as it’ll be a lot easier to develop ethical tools. On top of making development easier, it could become a great tool to make the visual arts accessible for people that have disabilities affecting drawing ability. It could be a wonderful technology.

But as it stands we’re not there yet.

WHATTTT.... ARTOIDS 💀.............................. that is THE most cringe fucking word ever im gonna start calling them fucking inceloids or something

Arent these the people who also have hentai addictions and collect all sorts of images of anime women breasting boobily? Do they think before AI that those images just popped up from the aether? They should also get real jobs that arent living in their moms basements and being a hateful little bitch

It's kind of hilarious that they think machine learning models will be the the end of art though. As if art hasnt been a core human function from prehistoric age and as if it hasnt survived hundreds of purges, demonizations, and attempts to erase certain styles and movements and people. We're going to prevail no matter what and they can die mad about it

tumblr user tentacledwizard reviews: Employee of the Month

 

  So recently [read: a few hours ago], @cgtg hosted a sort of movie night. The movie was Employee of the Month, starring Dane Cook. I joined it because I am always willing to expand my cinematic repertoire and also cgtg’s Davekat stuff is really good. Like I don’t even ship Davekat that much but their content is excellent. And the Sandler rap perfectly encapsulates my opinions on Adam Sandler as an actor, because ever since my dad played Billy Madison my life has been ok I’ll just do the review now.

So okay, I was prepared to have an ironically good time. I was convinced the movie would be 100% shit tier, just like Dave Strider said. But I should have known that Dave is not a reliable source. Because this movie was fun. I had a great time. When it comes to official reviews, I’ve seen mainly lukewarm/frosty attitudes towards Employee of the Month but *clears throat* Whatever. 

Now, those who know me know of my passionate love for Home Depot. And if you didn’t know about this, now you do. I wrote a Home Depot/necromancy story in like 7th grade. Home Depot is paradise on earth. You could survive a zombie apocalypse in there. It has everything you need for survival- shelter, crops, energy drinks, etc. This movie basically takes place inside a Home Depot. I forget what the store was actually called. It doesn’t matter. You just need to understand that I love Home Depot so I will generally enjoy movies set inside Home Depots. That was a pretty big factor in my enjoyment. Never mind the fact that this was filmed inside a Costco.

Now onto the actual movie. By rom-com standards, is this a good rom-com? Ehhh. No. The main romance between Dane Cook and “Blond Tart” was half-baked. I saw nothing that distinguished the fair-haired love interest from the other rom-com love interests before/after her, except maybe her big ears. The pair had like nothing in common, mainly because I don’t really know about their interests? Gotta say that Dane Cook had far more chemistry with the other blond tart (aka the antagonist). I wasn’t rooting for the main couple. This is also partly because of the movie’s intense homosexuality. I am not even kidding. Their date was cute though, I just wish they actually had some things in common and we learned more about the love interest.

So basically the plot is that this guy Zack (Dane Cook) works at Fictional!Home Depot and he seems like kind of a “slacker.” He is rivals with a smarmy blond Eminem cousin named Vince (Dax Shepard), who seems like a “stand up guy.” Obviously he is a douche bag who flirts with everyone in a very unprofessional way. There’s some kind of subplot about the store trying to beat another retail place. Then this new employee (Jessica Simpson) waltzes into the place. (I could say she “breasted boobily,” but nah.) Her name is Amy and she allegedly has a thing for employees of the month. So Zack falls in love, but obviously Vince starts making some moves on her. Now Zack has to win Employee of the Month to get the girl, or else Vince will. (There was nothing to worry about though, he dates Amy without even getting the position yet. Also Vince is super awkward/gay.) 

So let me just bullet point this. I’ll cover the characters/plot points/romance plots.

CHARACTERS:

Zack: The main character, Dane Cook. For everyone watching, there was this process of thinking oh no he’s cute and then falling in love with him. Look, he is actually pretty cute. I don’t make the rules. That dorky smile of his is great. He does have his flaws, like being focused only on his own problems. Dude just apologize. But they do get addressed. He’s a pretty good main character, and he really knows how to treat a girl. Home Depot date? SIGN ME UP. That’s going to be me some day, ok? I will meet some dude who shares my love for Home Depot and together we will wander the dusky aisles filled with all manner of appliances. Welp I kind of lost the plot. Anyway he has great date ideas. His little yellow car thing is a complete travesty but I will let it slide. Jorge has the better yellow vehicle but of course he does. Jorge is gangsta. 

(guy has that Kubrick stare)

Vince: The main antagonist besides the nebulous “corporate.” At first he seems like a blond flashlight that draws in the ladies like moths. He truly seems like a suave douchebag. As the movie goes on, you learn that this is untrue (the “suave” part). He is really awkward. Probably the only person in love with him is my main guy Jorge (Efren Ramirez). More on that at ten. Anyway, Vince is really good at cashiering. He does an unprofessional little circus act with the products that makes the ladies allegedly swoon. He gets Employee of the Month many, many times. Can Zack possibly usurp him?? Who knows! So yeah, Vince is a sopping and pathetic fellow. At some points you want him to shut up, but at other points you feel this deep well of pity for his plight. Negative points for using the r-word once >:( but also hey this is 2006. 

Amy: Uh. Ummm. Well she seems very friendly and… like a love interest. Uh… I’m sure there has to be more to her. Right? Oh well. Her big ears are pretty cute. Sadly, she doesn’t exactly have a personality or agency over the plot. I don’t really like plots that are just two guys fighting over a girl, except that turned out to not really be part of the movie so it’s fine. At least she called out Zack when he was being stupid, but that was mainly just to milk some drama. I think she and Lily should date.

Jorge: Jorge, the man that you are. Look, he is amazing and I cannot lie. What even is a salmon churro? The entire chat was yelling every time he was on screen. He first appears as Vince’s lackey, and he mainly helps out Vince with his various sabotage attempts. But he turns out to have more depth than that. He is like a short bug. He is willing to stab an old lady. Jorge is what we call “gangsta.” Everything he does is cool in a Jorge sort of way. He really made the movie. You can fight me on this. 

Lily: The Human Resources manager. Okay, so she doesn’t have dialogue (I think) but I wanted to include her here because she is cool and really pretty and I had a minor sexuality crisis once she arrived on screen (it happens every other day. Don’t worry about it). I like the lily in her hair. She was so real for accepting a bribe and eating that Butterfinger. <3

Grandma: She could be referred to as feisty. You could also say she’s bisexual. Kudos to her for keeping it real with Zack. The “seed of love” speech was…really dubious!

Boss man: Whatever is going on with him, it’s very gay. He outright says that he thinks/has thought about kissing guys. Maybe there’s something between him and the policeman? Anyway, I feel pretty bad that his older brother emasculated him. Not much else to say. He’s not exactly a paragon of professionalism, which is what makes this movie fun. He totally wants to be the fatherly boss but he fails. His lackey’s name is Dirk. Strider reference? You know it. (This was made 3 years before homestuck started).

BOSS Boss Man, aka Corporate Incarnate: Boss Man’s big brother, in the age sense. Okay, this guy kind of scares me. He is way less relaxed than Boss Man, and he certainly can drub people with canes. He runs a tight ship, so obviously he won’t stand for the main character mayhem going on. 

Iqbal: I don’t remember a ton of stuff about him, but he is like a lot of my family friends. He deserves good stuff because he had to put up with Zack’s crap for longer than necessary. Do I have to cover every single character? How about we move onto the main thing: shipping. It’s not really the main thing, but I'm going insane over it so for me it is.

SHIPS:

  Oh man okay, here we go. I already covered my very few thoughts on Zack/Amy so here are some ships that I find interesting.

Zack/Vince: Basically, the plot of the movie revolves around these two and their rivalry. I kind of doubt their hate is platonic. At one point Vince compares them to a pair of “old gay sailors.” Zack’s face really says it all, honestly:

Their scenes together had a ton of sexual chemistry. Intense Kubrick stares. Toreador-ish mop fights. Breaking into the other person’s house to make them late for work. You know. Like that. We all agreed that they are best summarized as “toxic yaoi.” Essentially, they are kismeses. Also, Vince is a complete mess around Amy but seems way more comfortable antagonizing Zack. I don’t think Zack is really into Vince, but it’s an interesting thought.

Vince/Jorge: Now this. THIS is the true romance of the story. You think I’m kidding? This is pretty much canon (or at least heavily implied). Where Zack and Vince had some sexual tension, these two have a Home Depot’s worth of romantic tension. They have so many little moments, like when they just kind of solemnly listen to music in a car (which turns out to be a bookend). They’re constantly around each other, and their relationship actually has an arc. Vince starts out kind of using Jorge as a henchman, but then Jorge goes against that. There’s a temporary breakup, and Vince kind of loses it. He has no one to talk to now. But he’s willing to pull himself together and give Jorge the space he needs to think things through. And THEN they have this big moment where they get back together as equals and it’s beautiful and okay it’s easier to just show you. 

(Previous image) Here we have Jorge helping Vince with his dorky-ass heelies because Vince is trying to be a coolkid like Zack.

And then we have that whole moment over there. They’re holding hands! (Hurt/comfort moment tbh)

THEIR VICTORY DANCES?? HELLO?? This is adorable i can’t

Okay, this is blatantly romantic. The words “please, come home” imply that they share a home. Perhaps they are even… roommates? But look, the normally rude Vince is actually being considerate. And he calls Jorge “homes.” Jorge normally calls him that!

Full access to the cashier’s lounge? Jorge you mad lad. 

Awww-

Okay I gasped aloud at this part. They are married. Or like they will be at some point in time. “It just feels right” yeah they are SO married. Look at the height difference. They are everything, as of four hours ago. This is cinema.

I can’t do this man why did I start reviewing this. They use each other’s pet names. Shit. Fuck you, Dane Cook movies. I hate feeling emotion like this.

yes, Jorge and Vince were the real romance subplot all along. They’re literally the last scene of the movie.

Look at the smile on Jorge���s face. Jegus. This ship is everything. These two were the real emotional core of the movie. Without them, I’d just be like “eh whatever at least it was fun.” But damn, they really delivered on the romance subplot.

Uh… Yeah I can’t really think of any other ships that I like. Vince/Amy sucks and they had nothing to say to each other. I like the idea of Amy/Lily, though! I think either of them could make employee of the month. I guess Amy/Zack is good for now though.

OTHER THINGS:

That clubhouse is awesome. Probably a big hazard considering it’s on top of that big shelf. But hey I want a Home Depot buddy lair too!

Vince saying he can get a little anal…. >:? Sir what.

Amy’s really out there auspiticizing for Zack and Vince huh? She deserves good things for having to put up with that

Why did it suddenly turn into a sports movie for a few minutes? Why were they playing softball against another hardware store? We may never know.

Banger soundtrack. 10/10.

And that’s a wrap everyone, catch me crying over the hug or making “ironic” fanart of Dane Cook and co. I really enjoyed this and I will hopefully be there for the next flick. Wow I wrote a lot about this movie. Uh. Consider it ironic, I suppose.

Giving Sanctuary "Behind the Scenes" - On Masculinity

Inspired by Ep. 1.03 of "The Last of Us" in which there is a line when one canonically gay male character tells his also canonically gay male partner, "You were my purpose."

I was so excited by this line because I saw it as confirmation that I'd written men in love well, or at least as well as I could. So much so that I turned to my partner and explained to him that it felt like something of a personal victory to see these two very masculine gay characters in the show defining their love for one another as specifically a purpose, much as I have Hob inch his way towards admitting he wants to be (effectively) married to Dream in Giving Sanctuary by calling looking after Dream "his purpose". I was also very pleased when my partner confirmed that, yes, as a man, it felt very true and authentic to him to have both the characters in the show and Hob as I've written him define their relationships that way, within the bounds of masculinity and masculine pride.

I watched the episode with my partner (a big TLOU fan), with whom I have a lot of discussions around masculinity because as a writer, particularly of adult m/m ships, I want the men I write to actually feel like men, and my partner is wonderfully open with me in these discussions of how to make male characters actually feel like men, instead of feeling like men written by women. I doubt I can ever achieve men-written-by-men levels of accuracy as strictly as if the male characters I write were written by a man (all gender language in this is meant inclusively, btw, assume I always mean "female/male-identifying" etc) but I think there are a lot of common tropes and pitfalls the largely-but-not-exclusively female writerly space of fanfic tend to fall into, which I try to avoid.

One is that while there is the joke that male writers tend to write women "breasting boobily down the stairs" ie, always focused on their physical characteristic, there is the reverse weakness that's less talked about of women writers writing male characters as more willing to be emotionally vulnerable than most men usually are/are socialized to be. Not saying it's a good or a bad thing, just that male characters written by women writers are, on the balance, less concerned with masculine pride or against displaying emotion than actual men tend to be. I wrote about this extensively elsewhere.

When I started writing Giving Sanctuary, I knew it was going to be a sentimental, emotionally charged, and vulnerable story, but I didn't want to go overboard and have Hob or Dream, both canonically proud men, fall overboard into woobification.

So, how does one get these two proud, male-identifying people/entities to do something so emotionally vulnerable and sentimental as decide to move in together so they can talk about their feelings and form essentially a two-man grieving father support group? You make it an exchange. Not crassly transactional, as such. But Dream is far too proud to simply accept someone doting on him, he will push back and while he has people like Lucienne and Jessamy in his life, he often ignores their attempts to care for him, and clearly having them around hasn't been enough because he can always pull rank on them and blow off their advice.

Likewise, Hob is at his lowest. He'll accept any material help given at this point, but that's him at his absolute lowest point. Once he got his feet under him at all he would begin to demur and push back against Dream just giving him things. He would want to pull his weight. He would feel awkward about having been so emotionally vulnerable in front of someone as proud as Dream, even if Hob at 300+ years old and having gone through as much as he has is someone (as I write him, at least) who is very in touch with his emotions and who has a half dozen lifetime's worth of practice at emotional resilience. He's good at it.

But by making it so Hob looking after Dream is repayment for Dream looking after Hob, it allows Dream to chill out a bit about someone telling him what to do, or look after him. It's now couched in The Rules and An Agreement. Dream sees that Lucienne is afraid of him (in ch. 3) and realizes that, combined with how good he felt being able to open up to Hob about how much losing Orpheus hurt him, brings him to the revelation (without the fishbowl) that he doesn't like the person he's become and he wants to get better. Hob has shown emotional wisdom and so Dream is willing to admit that having someone more skilled at navigating emotion and healing take charge of his personal life for a bit is a "practical" way of getting out of this hole he realizes he's in.

Likewise, by classifying it as a transaction of sorts, Hob feel less like a charity case and more like he has a job. Given that he has no material goods to pay Dream with (not that he'd need/want them) this means a lot to Hob. Hob is (in my mind, but there's canonical evidence to back this up) very much a materialist and a hedonist. He feels like absolute garbage that he can't fulfill the role of a provider towards Dream, or anyone at this point. He defines his worth by the value of the stuff that he owns and the amount of gold in his possession.

Crass as he might have been in 1589, Hob was at the top of the world and the happiest we ever see him as someone who has reached an inconceivable pinnacle of wealth and status for someone of his birth. The man was a bandit, you can't tell me he doesn't take having money very seriously. (This is also a story in which money, class, and resources is not always necessarily central but it's always present as a concern for Hob, even as it's barely something that even occurs to Dream, and that's very deliberate. The fact that part of Hob's healing is accomplished by fulfilling his physical needs and giving him a safe space and privacy to heal is not an accident.)

So anyway, all of this is to say, that before Hob is ready to admit (what in his time period is legally impossible) that he wants to marry Dream, and what given their past relationship seems emotionally impossible, that Hob would be allowed to love Dream the way he wants to, it's easier to define looking after Dream as the more neutral "purpose" in his life. This is something he can speak of openly with Dream even before admitting any romantic feelings. Very close friends could, in theory, make a similar pact to look after one another. Men who do not want to admit emotional vulnerability can openly speak of having a job and a purpose and couching this emotional caretaking and vulnerability in those terms makes it easier within the bounds of certain cultural definitions of masculinity to do so. It's Dream and Hob saying, "We're not just babying one another, we're not just gushing about our sad feelings to each other, rather, we're recognizing that our emotional states do matter and they've cratered enough that we can't pull our actual lives as we want them back together until we deal with this." It just so happens, in this instance, that this emotional vulnerability leads to romantic love.

And, as I said, I felt incredibly gratified when this very male character, written and performed by a man, used similar words to define the act of caretaking as a "purpose" to someone he loved because while Hob as I write him isn't nearly that emotionally reserved, he does have that backbone of masculinity and the need to be a caretaker and a provider within a masculine framework so the resonance of terminology meant a lot.

Libraries and their Collections

I’ve had this rattling around in my brain for a bit. I want to share some insight on how libraries work when it comes to the books they have. 

Let me start by saying I work in a metropolitan system. We’re huge with a pretty decent budget. My branch alone has about 50,0000 on the shelf. So I can’t speak to smaller systems.( I am also not technically a librarian. I don’t have the fancy master’s degree. )

So with so many books there is NO WAY we’re curating all of them. We’ve got books in this system that are older than I am. 

I mean we try of course. We weed on condition (spines falling apart, water damage, stains that may or may not be blood) and we do pull lists. I just weeded some books on disc yesterday that hadn’t been checked out in four years. 

That still leaves a lot of stuff. 

How new stuff is added is based on best seller lists, patron requests, book trends, thinking about what subject we’re lacking in etc. 

This means we carry shit I don’t agree with. Let me tell you I thoroughly enjoy weeding a ‘conservative socialism is bad Trump wasn’t all that bad’ think piece with a GOP politician's face on it that was ghost written by a very tired intern. However, if that book is in good condition I just sigh and put it on the shelf. Because that’s what a library does. It has something for everyone. 

That includes poorly written “she breasted boobily down the stairs” fiction or the dark stuff or the weird stuff. 

So when someone requests the GOP book I politely help them. 

That doesn’t mean we can’t promote the good stuff. I make a Pride display every year. If a demographic has a day or a month attached to it we do things for it. We’re really working on Banned Books stuff hard this year for the obvious reasons. We have resources to help the community. 

(Also, and this is personal observation I have no stats to back this up, the folks at your local library probably tend to lean to the left politically. I don’t see a branch having a pro-capitalism display anytime soon but you bet there’ll be one with diverse authors.) 

So if there’s a book you want to see at your library ask them to purchase it! Search their website for events and resources. Pay attention to local elections because local governments are where most libraries get their funding from. 

Support your local library because it’s a information hub, a safe place, a part of the community and a space for everyone.

I think the other two already got done so if you're still taking asks for the game can I offer Jakob? Asking bc honestly the scene where he nearly chucks the wheel of.fortune like a Frisbee in the WGRP lives rent free in my head and I need to hear what someone else thinks of him. Asshole of all tome

NOBODYS ASKED FOR JAKOB OR PRIMO SURPRISINGLY i would love to talk about Number One Worst Grandpa Though <3

Why I like them/why I don’t: i looove jakob i dont think as much about him as i do with aporia's other pieces but i love that he is just this completely miserable ASSHOLE of an old man. he hates his coworkers who are also him and also one of them is a child. He's one of the most terrifying yugioh characters to me, he's HUGE and completely willing to kill anyone in the way of completing the circuit INCLUDING LESTER AND PRIMO?!?!? He's so driven by agony and anger and has all the smug I Know Better attitude of all of your worst old conservative male relatives combined. AND THEN THEY MADE HIM KIND OF SAD AND LONELY IN TAG FORCE 6. ALRIGHT!!!! <-- *WILL GET IN THERE AND THINK THAT HARD ABOUT IT*

What I like about their appearance: THE FACT HE'S BUILT LIKE A BRICK SHITHOUSE + THE ONE SINGULAR GIANT EYEBROW IS JUST. PEAK INSANE YGO CHARACTER DESIGN. I LOVE IT.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: I do slightly prefer Jakob if only because "Jakob with a K" is just some peak yugioh dub name bullshit maneuver lmao. Jose is also a really funny name for him I do like it.

OTP: I DONT REALLY HAVE ONE FOR HIM. if i think about his devotion to 'God' vs. aporia's bond with z-one i Will start coughing up blood though.

NOTP: jakob/primo i guess?? JAKOB/LESTER ALSO???? DIE IN THAT CASE???!?!?

OT3: not romantic but i love thinking about the Emperors as the world's most dogshit family that is also all one person. Grandpa and his two idiot grandkids he cant fucking stand.

Favourite card they use: Meklord Emperor Granel <3 Terrifying robot war machine with bizarre sea animal motifs but is also an Earth Machine for some reason <33 Slaughter Cannon <333

Favourite moment they were in: like. it's gotta be him RUNNING down the WRGP race track, right. it made me shriek laugh the first time i saw it and it gets me every time. they should have let him run the whole course flintstones style. i think he coulda done it

Least favourite moment: it is bonkers when he throws sherry's bike just Into the Ocean one hand like it's nothing but then theres that weird bit where he grabs her and shes kind of. Breasting Boobily iykwim. and it's just very #yugiohwomanmoment. get away from her old man. etc etc etc

Something I associate with them: all of his tag force story route events feel exactly like this tweet

saw a post about having someone as their trusted provider of pictures of anime girls and. that got me thinking again: sure I've read a few mangas in my time, I understand there's an appeal to watching anime even if I don't care myself, I get fanart… but the concept of consuming / reblogging pictures of random "anime girls" who are not even from any actual anime never made sense to me. if you want to simply See Sexy Girls (or Boys as the case may be) shouldn't you just be looking up porn or at least hentai instead? like let's not kid anyone you're not out for Appreciating Artwork or the Human Body In General if the target is specifically boobily breasted anime girls to the exclusion of any modern western art, traditional art, portrait photography… just seems like a weird compromise between being unapologetically nsfw-on-main vs. so-called having class about what you post. and yet something of this sort appears to be quite popular among a few categories-of-nerd I've been for long adjacent to

I'm not even ruling out psychosexual-anxieties type explanations here, it's very likely I'm underestimating how much hangups about sex Americans (or Catholics, etc.) have exactly, but even then. am I expected to believe all of these people are just horny and unashamed enough to put reams of skimpily dressed anime girls on their blog (or forum thread or whatever) but not horny and unashamed enough to go outright looking up and/or collecting entirely undressed anime girls even privately?

one other option to come to mind, yes as noted I don't know porridge from gruel about anime, maybe much of these "random" anime girls are in fact some form of fanart and no one's just bothering to tag or talk about it. doesn't seem highly likely either though and most probably I'm just missing some Common Human Experience that fuels this stuff
