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.
Young obi-wan Kenobi from the prequels. Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty.
Both Leon Kennedy and Ashley Graham from RE4. It's how I figured out I am pansexual.
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.
Alistar all the way
Any Molly Ringwald character, but Pretty in Pink was the GOAT role.
TV/movie: Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell, especially from the SAC.)
Video games: Nicole Collard (Broken Sword series)
You chose wisely
Jinx from League of Legends
I got a nice painting of her on my wall.
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
Micky Dolenz from the Monkees.
When I was very young, Tails gave me verrrry confusing feelings. I just wanted to… hold his hand or something. Then both Robinhood and Maid Marian, very owo.
When I was a teen, Fox and Krystal from Starfox and Renamon. Then Kyubi from Yo-Kai Watch (we’re gonna pretend he doesn’t have a human form and is an adult.)
I’m old now and I stand by all of those choices.
👀
It's always interesting to hear what animated character was somebody else's furry awakening. For me it was Krystal also, but every time I meet a furry younger than myself, I can see clear distinction between what age group they belong to and which anthropomorphic character they were sexually attracted to as a kid, lol.
Hahaha I fully agree! I’m in my 30s and saw Robin Hood when I was very young. I had no idea what “bisexual” meant, I just knew I had some confusing feelings for some talkin’ foxes!
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.
Darkness from Legend was the first crush I can remember having.
Zuko from Avatar. Just.... jet fuel for teenage me.
Leela from Futurama
Tribitaka from "Monkey".
And the dude with the super mullet and purple flares from "Battle of the Planets"
Prince Jasmine instilled a love for strong willed women with dark hair in me as a young lad
The opossum from Over The Hedge
1985 tv version of Ann of Green Gables.... (Megan Follows)
legit would sneak watch so nobody in my family would know.... hehe 15 year old me totally understand her problems.... I thought I was in love with her
Alucard set the bar but Karlach got me thinking :D
Lip from Shameless
At the moment it's Zani
She's tired and overworked, but she cares about doing something and doing it right. Plus she has a super hot "Italian-ish" accent lol
