>>28256200You do bring up some good points and the moment I saw Poppmaid, I was ready to accept that she would inevitably be sexualized. But I ignore the porn of her and don't let that stop me from liking her. The problem I have is when all fans of a Pokemon like Poppmaid and ones similar to it are labeled furfags just because of a vocal minority of perverts.
Honestly, it seems you can't like certain Pokemon without being associated with some sort of stupid stigma. You're a waifufag for liking feminine Pokemon. You're a furfag for liking a Pokemon that are based on mammals. You're a band-wagoner for liking popular Pokemon like Lucario and Greninja. You're a Genwunner for having a classic favorite like Charizard. And it goes on.
It's sad that as a fanbase we can't ignore the cancerous fans enough to not let it warp our perceptions of certain Pokemon and the people who like them.
