Why is the anime\cartoon and comics\ fandom so sexualized?

    I still enjoy anime and western cartoons but I totally stopped participating in online groups\forums about them because the stuff is so sexualized...Always lewd fanart of the characters , very weird shipping (two brothers with each other, for example) and basically using the wholesome characters for fulfilling various fetishes. Even paw patrol which I unironically watch to relax some days, has a fanbase of making lewd arts.
    Do the vast majority of all humans are like this, and its just reflected in this area? or do cartoon and anime attract these sort of people?

    I do wonder if there has been any scientific research on this phenomenon? I have a feeling that this could have been someone's thesis work for some reason.

    Cause that's the reason why many people are coming to watch anime and completely cut off from Real world and according to me it's totally wastage of time and energy so brother please avoid using any app from here from where you are getting the access

    As someone who has consumed a lot of porn of anime characters, the best answer I can give is familiarity. Generally the more time we spend with something, the closer we get attatched to it. I don't even watch the anime or play the games the characters I seek out when horny are from anymore, but because they're what I've seen the most, they give me the most pleasure.

    Men are easily tempted by women and sex. It's made the strongest and most powerful of men fall. Call me crazy, but I think this is just part of the bigger agenda of weakening most men so they can be controlled. Pay attention, evil and negative things are pushed and incentivized more than positive, true, and strengthening things

    I started to fap to cartoon art on and off earlier this year… for the last 24 I was never into it, but I came across one clip one time in March that sent me off to weird places.

    I think maybe it was the novelty, but it was certainly strange.

    I’ve been porn free for 70 days… that genre, and getting off to it… Very strange time.

    This is how they get people to become furries and other fetishists.

    In my opinion, this is partly because there are people who make that kind of pornographic art, and if they think anyone anywhere will like it, or even better, buy it, they get busy making it to try to get their names out there.

    I think it's also partly because everything is sexualized these days. Do a web search for wooden chairs and sooner or later in the results, you'll find a porn site, it's just that simple. Any female character, of most any species, will be sexualized in one way or another, if it hasn't already. That, to me, is as certain to happen as the sun rising tomorrow morning.

    Here are some theories: my mind seems pulled into “bad” things (better to say negative) like it was gravity. Probably this is the nature of minds in general and this is how we get rule 34 “If it exists there is porn about it”. I’m saying there’s a strong tendency to ruin everything innocent, not about good or bad just an animalistic*negative thread through human minds. Then there’s the fact that what you read and saw was online! The cost of anti social babble is much lower online than even in real life. Anonymity tempts us to let the shadow have its way. And it’s easy to draw an idealized form that isn’t found in real life such as the really large eyes anime characters have which plays on our instinct to love and protect babies. We tend to have a lot going on with these things that we’re not conscious of. I had a friend who couldn’t stop drawing porn and was hung up on how there’s nothing wrong with drawing cartoons which is true. Another friend couldn’t resist the fact that things that would be illegal if it were live action he could easily get in cartoon form. It’s the siren song we all hear with whatever form: for a few years I was obsessed with one medium then that seemed to go away but I was hooked on another medium or genre or what the he’ll ever. Cartoons have come to my mind a few times in sobriety but the fact that I don’t participate in those forums isn’t the main reason I haven’t had to use pm. It’s good to be careful what I choose to let into my life but long term freedom for me has been about letting go.

    I will never understand they this is the case, and it gets even worse on some fandom platforms because some sites allow people to write sexual fanfiction, even within fandoms such as the brony/pegasister fandom. A fandom where one would think this content wouldn't be found in.
