I think that is a literal storyline in Belgarath the Sorcerer. The wizard, Belgarath, spends thousands of years monitoring and manipulating various family lines. One of those is a line of dryads who are tiny and all female. He was "forced" to mate with them or they would kill him with bows, but he didn't really complain about it. He is able to avoid these "conflicts" in the future after discovering chocolate makes them orgasm.

Some times you don't think about how weird this shit gets until you explain it to someone else.

    Were the dryads 10,000 year old 12-year-old girls?

    I hate this aspect so much. Like, bro, can't you just make cool cartoons without sexualizing the characters?

    Everything in life is directly or indirectly about sex. We're literally machines "designed" for the purpose of procreation, i.e. sex. Just makes sense that all our stories are about it as well :D

    While one can squint hard to see the connections to procreation with enough steps in between, that doesn't mean everything should be sexualized. Working a farm to produce food food is necessary for one to live long enough to reproduce, but farming isn't about sex.

    Obviously people like sex and want things sexualized, otherwise it wouldn't be created. I like sexualized comics. If you don't like it, then no one forces you to select to read/watch the comics that are sexualized. Obviously, since many people like sexualized stuff, you will have to deal with the (probably smaller) selection of comics that don't do it, of which I'm sure they exist.

    I just don't understand the need to hate things like this. I don't hate it if a comic isn't sexualized, even though that's not what I prefer.

    Bad memories since I read last week about David and Leigh Eddings having both spent a year in prison for horrific abuse of their adopted children :(

    I still have them in my collection. All of Eddings, except High Hunt and The Losers. Now I don't want to give them away, yet I no longer cherish them :(

    I have the Dangerous album from Michael Jackson, shelved for decades without listening, for pretty much the same reason :(

    I knew about the allegations against MZB, luckily I never got into her books, so it's not a big loss for me - but just now I got curious and did some reading - Is this article legitimately by MZB's daughter? https://thembeforeus.com/moira-greyland-i-was-born-into-a-family-of-famous-gay-pagan-authors-in-the-late-sixties/

    That's a sad outcome - of course it is understandable that as a traumatized victim she has a risk to have a warped vision of reality - but holy cow, to blame homosexuality as the root of the problem, that's losing the plot entirely.
