I read what you said as hyperbolic, but generally dismissive of the idea that characters in media have sex appeal and/or vicarious romance appeal,

Of course I was being hyperbolic…

often generally, and often to such an extent that it drives people to make and share their own erotic spin offs.

…but jfc you’re adding layers to this that no one else even mentioned and then building off of those layers to have your own weird anime rants

No shit sex sells - that was never the contention

The point of my original comment was poking fun of the vibes I got from the comment I replied to which felt like “there’s no need for sex or romance in media anymore when you can watch porn so easily”
