This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I feel like an old man cause anime girls look weird to me. I see this stuff, the obviously hyper sexualized cartoon girls, and I'm always like "you guys know about pornhub, right? Pictures of real women, videos, millions of them are a click away!" So like, wtf is up with the cartoon fetish? I'm not shaming it, I just don't get it.

It's a few things (for some people). One is artstyle/impressionism, another is that some of the stuff depicted is either impossible or less paletable with IRL people. Some is storytelling.

Erotic artwork has been a real thing for a while. If you want, I'll elaborate later. I might edit this after a while when I can be bothered to expand on this.

Sexual appetites are informed by the images of people you familiarize yourself with. Not usual for people to seek out partners who remind them of old friends or family members, because that's the image they've imprinted on as attractive.

If you surround yourself with images of japanese cartoons (particularly horny ones, particularly when you're young and impressionable and you'd fuck a fire hydrant on a hot day) its not going to be hard to fixate on cartoons fucking.

If you surround yourself with booze and people your own age who are equally horny, you likely won't have that temptation.

Same here (am old man) but in the context of this post one can make the argument that pornography in general is reducing the population. Not necessarily a bad thing.

anime girls are drawn keeping perfection in mind, by logic they will always belre attractive than real woman. idk what is so hard to get it

I find them cute but not sexually attractive. They're all very young women (high school or younger) with out of shape proportions.
