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.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Gwen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

Another vanilla! High vanilla outcome on the bdsm test seems to be quite uncommon. At least among people on Discord, hehe.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 1 points 9 hours ago

Alistar all the way

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Young obi-wan Kenobi from the prequels. Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty.

[–] trslim@pawb.social 1 points 9 hours ago

Both Leon Kennedy and Ashley Graham from RE4. It's how I figured out I am pansexual.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Any Molly Ringwald character, but Pretty in Pink was the GOAT role.

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

TV/movie: Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell, especially from the SAC.)

Video games: Nicole Collard (Broken Sword series)

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

You chose wisely

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Jinx from League of Legends

I got a nice painting of her on my wall.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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 😅

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

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!

[–] darkishgrey@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Darkness from Legend was the first crush I can remember having.

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Micky Dolenz from the Monkees.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I swear I knew her "IRL" on the early net. if true, she was technically my first crush.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Zuko from Avatar. Just.... jet fuel for teenage me.

[–] gilgameth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Leela from Futurama

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That movie still gives me the feels. At the end when they’re riding the scooter and make the funny faces at the camera. It’s perfect, and she was amazing in that role.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The soundtrack is still one of my favorites. I loved early Jean-Pierre Jeunet films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, so I was skeptical of the film at first because it seemed so normal in comparison. Turned out to be his best film by far.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. One of the OG big tiddy goth girlfriends.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never liked the hair. Apart from that though, yeah.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I feel like the hair was supposed to be somewhere in the middle of a venn diagram of Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and the Bride of Frankenstein.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

TBH I adore Cassandra Peterson IRL too. She's as witty and sassy as her character, seems to be a genuinely good person, and is still an absolute smokeshow in her 70s. Also she's a ginger IRL, which is almost as hot as goth.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She’s not bad. She’s just drawn that way.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

As a kid, Lola Bunny and Gadget from Rescue Rangers.

I don't know if anyone's really done that for me in adulthood

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Gadget, god damn. That's one of the earliest crushes I can remember.

Lola Bunny I can see it too, although I never had a crush on her.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Oof. Gadget. Totally.

Sometimes, some crimes…go slipping through the cracks, but these two, gumshoes….

Raven from OG Teen Titans had curves in all the right places, too.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

Good lord, where to start.

Tuxedo Kamen was a big one when I was around 13.

Several David Tennant characters, such as of course and predictably the 10th Doctor - this might just be the mandatory DT crush.

The 13th Doctor - an outlier, still on-going.

Vegeta. Which is weird because I usually like my men very tall. The Vegeta/Bulma ship was stronger than the crush.

Sam Winchester (tall). I'm so glad my Supernatural phase has ended, let me tell you.

These days I'm crushing a bit on Johnny Silverhand.

Alucard set the bar but Karlach got me thinking :D
