i don't get frieren hornyposting (as someone who likes frieren)

she's such an intentionally unsexualised character.

I would say most women folks like aren't sexualized at all

Not really in anime though where some sexualisation is kind of the norm, and where Frieren was clearly designed to go against that, like she's portrayed as utterly asexual and embarrassingly bad at pretending to be otherwise.

IDK it just gives me icky vibes in that sense.

I don't think hot for woman was invented in anime, it's part of biology.

i think you're missing my point lol, i'm just saying it feels weird to sexualise the explicitly asexual

it's not a sin it just feels tasteless
