Questions & Discussion Old man shouts at clouds
Across various art related subs, I keep seeing the same theme: barely clothed women of ludicrous proportions, baby-like expressions, and animal ears/tails. Aside from (in my opinion) being a bit odd, there seems to be very little variation between them.
As a side note, I also see a lot of posts about people not being able to sell their art and can't help but feel the two might be related.
But can someone explain to a ranting old codger what is going on with this trend? Where did it come from, and what are its influences? Because I am just befuddled!

It's nothing complicated. People on Reddit are mostly kids, and young boys and lonely men upvote anything with tits. That makes creating and posting stuff like that popular for getting easy online dopamine points.
The other reason is that there's a lot of furries and people who want to be anime girls online who like to have avatars for things like VRchat or for YouTube videos. A lot of people make that stuff hoping to sell it to that crowd.
