    Do people actually enjoy seeing those pictures? I can sort of understand generating them for shock value, but finding them erotic or pleasing??

      Well uh, yes. Its the internet, there are sites where people devote massive time and energy to discussing the wankability but also canonical accuracy of depictions of ‘what if 14 year old anime girl characters actually had penises that are canonically accurate and true to the art style as well’.

      At least one person is into the weirdest shit you can imagine.

      There was at one point a group of people who filmed themselves putting fleshlights in car exhausts and fucking them, then this got even more weird and people seemingly seriously said they had actual sexual attraction to vehicles, then people started fucking the exhaust pipes with no fleshlights, then someone , possibly multiple people actually seriously injured themselves this way.

      And also yes to shock value, now that 4chan is involved, its more or less ‘this is funny because it will very likely make someone angry, and also theres no real way this sort of thing can be prevented, here, lets prove it’.

      I have stared into the void, it has stared back into me, and destroyed all nearly all notions commonly assumed to define reason and humanity.

      Do not do as I have done.

        “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe weirdest shit you can imagine is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

        There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

        (with apologies to Douglas Adams)

        There was another, way funnier phase when guys just taped them into the exhaust and started up the car to see them get crazy blown out. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen just how stretchy these things are, but now I’m scared to search for “fleshlight in car exhaust”

          Not sure of the timeline, but yes I remember that.

          I would not be surprised if something like 2% of the people who saw that were aroused enough or bored enough to… take the next step, leading to the … autophilia stuff.

          Ugh.

      Having not seen them it’s difficult to judge on any grounds beyond subjective morality of their creation.

        Well I’ve seen a few in passing. They just look like any other AI “art”/porn.
