That's the internet for you... allow me to explain.I've typed Dixie Kong on Google. After looking at it, I was like this :
The I typed Tails and I was like this :
And finally i've searched...King Dedede :
Seriously, why is there so much horrible things on Google ? Why would someone create stuff like that ? I can't even show you the one picture that I've found of King Dedede, it's horrible and it's on the first page !
And here's the worst thing : it's always the same type of images ! I keep seeing muscular or obese/pregnant/eaten version of characters everywhere. Why ? I don't know, it's the internet apparently.
Don't believe me ? Well here's a picture of a muscular Bowser Jr :
What am I even doing with my life ? Tell me please, I need to know.
Muscular characters are probably made for the bara crowd. Kinda crazy seeing characters ripped up to oblivion, although what do I know, I prefer a more slim guys myself. Seeing too much muscle on a dude seriously freaks me out, which is why I'm not a big fan of bara. Maybe it's also some power fantasy, idk...
Obese characters = fat fetish
Pregnant characters could be a fetish or maybe it has to do with someone's fanfic.
I don't know what you mean by "eaten version" of characters, though I'm guessing there's some gore. So, it's probably some guro art (dunno if there's anything sexual in it though). I'm personally a fan of guro, to a certain degree.
In the end, it probably has to do with fetishes. Which is not really a bad thing in and of itself. It's probably when you see every 3rd image of the character explicit in whatever form that makes you uncomfortable, which is understandable.
At least, that's what I conclude... I don't even know exactly. You're gonna have to ask the artists as to "why" to get some real answers.
