    This was my first

    then the girl from Monsters Vs Aliens.

    one night I was in a discord call with some friends and they were playing smash or pass and APPARENTLY everyone else got turned on by the monsters or aliens and IM the weird one for not being into that??

    When I was surprised they made me take the BDSM test and I got 97% vanilla and 50% submissive. in retrospect this probably ties into my next point…

    I did not have a ‘crush’ for YEARS after that, IRL or in media. I still don’t think I feel it in the same way others do. I guess I would want to live in the same household with someone cute, but like that’s a far cry from what other people describe it as and I would much prefer to be the cute one.

    I cannot comprehend the concept of being horny and taking it out on others against their consent.
    Even if I were in a relationship I don’t think I would want to. Going to the bathroom for 15m would be easier than having to bother someone else, no?

    Literally last week my bloodwork results came back in and I like 1/2 the hormonal levels you’re supposed to have.
    AND I’m on antidepressants that lower my labido so I’m like borderline involuntarily asexual because I just have a really low sex drive.

      Another vanilla! High vanilla outcome on the bdsm test seems to be quite uncommon. At least among people on Discord, hehe.

      I mean, discord is full of disgusting deviants, I’m not surprised.

      You sound asexual. That’s fine.

      Why did you bring rape up? Seems strange. People can be horny without wanting to rape someone. Being in a relationship has never made me think it was more okay to rape my partner. That’s fucked up. I’m gonna chalk up that line of thinking to being unfamiliar with how normal people experience horniness.

      I don’t think anyone can be voluntarily or involuntarily asexual. It’s just kind of an intrinsic trait of your personality. It’s like saying you involuntarily have brown hair.

        Re: the consent: I was initially confused like you, but while I’m not OP and can’t say for certain, I’m pretty sure they extend the concept of consent to also include being a target of lust, as in the target isn’t intending to, or consenting to, being a target of lust. As in using an image of someone/something not consenting to that use case, as material for self pleasure for example. I think.

        Weirdly enough that isn’t something I’ve ever thought about actively. In a way it makes sense to extend it thus though. But then again it seems like a complex topic I’ve no expertise in, so I’ll just leave it at that.

    I don’t think I ever did. Almost all the male characters were made to appeal to straight men and the gay ones reek of stereotypes.

    Maybe Alistar from Dragon Age but he was perfectly bland and kinda boring.

    I had a huge crush on Daniel Radcliffe but thought Harry Potter was dumb as rocks.

      Nice. I love Zoe and I want a poster of her! I’m tempted to draw her myself, it could be fun.

      I also feel the need to clarify that I’m a gay homosexual who does not “like” 3000-year-old women who look like children 😅

    The Hex Girls had an early and very long lasting impact on me. Or maybe Megan Fox in the first Transformers. Either one, those are the earliest crushes I remember haha

    I can’t remember any of the recent ones but no one forgets its first one.

    Single digit old me watching cartoons in the eighties was in awe with Firestar.

        TBH I adore Cassandra Peterson IRL too. She’s as witty and sassy as her character, seems to be a genuinely good person, and is still an absolute smokeshow in her 70s. Also she’s a ginger IRL, which is almost as hot as goth.

      That movie still gives me the feels. At the end when they’re riding the scooter and make the funny faces at the camera. It’s perfect, and she was amazing in that role.

        The soundtrack is still one of my favorites. I loved early Jean-Pierre Jeunet films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, so I was skeptical of the film at first because it seemed so normal in comparison. Turned out to be his best film by far.

    As a kid, Lola Bunny and Gadget from Rescue Rangers.

    I don’t know if anyone’s really done that for me in adulthood

      Oof. Gadget. Totally.

      Sometimes, some crimes…go slipping through the cracks, but these two, gumshoes….

      Raven from OG Teen Titans had curves in all the right places, too.
