What do you think of the sexualization of the characters? Do you like it and why? Feel free to skip this question if you don't want to answer it.
Hi there! I love it when it's done tastefully and falls within my boundaries. I know a lot of people like to write off all sexualization because a lot of people take it too far but I view it with more nuance and on a case-by-case basis. What I don't like is sexualization that reduces a character to just that alone. That and having a character (specifically one of my ocs) behave wildly ooc. (That and self-insert type scenarios that just make me wince). Outside of that though, its very fun to see. As long as people aren't stripping away the substance, being reasonable and keeping it SFW it's all great in my book.
You can appreciate a character for their story, quirkiness, substance and find them attractive without it being lewd. 😌 Some are more sensitive to this stuff than others, which I totally get. The abuse of it has understandably turned off many people to even respectable sexualization due to bad association, trauma or whatever else. I used to be quite opposed to it myself but after a lot of growth and encouragement I've learned to separate the bad from the good and just keep the good stuff. I've had a few cases where I've been sent some rather unwholesome art of my ocs but thankfully those are few and far between.
Most everyone else respects my ocs and how I portray them. So I'm just like " ・ω・ yes yes pretty girl ". So yeah, that's where I am with it and I do my best to reflect this in my work. All the sexy vibes I include in my work come from a place of genuine admiration and none of my fleshed out characters exist just for the sake of being a pretty face. Kinda long but I hope this all made sense to you ^^; Thanks for asking about it.
