What if we get a
bishie character that's legitimate
like Rosalina? Would you still discredit the character?
Look at the princesses, they're all bishoujo. I would expect a prince to be bishounen-ish because Nintendo is a Japanese company. It may not even be catering to "hormonal fangirls" but more of a cultural thing.
And where are you searching these fandom pics from? Most sites have a filter option, so you won't view 18+ images. But in case some slip through, just ignore them. Like what's been said, don't let bad apples make you devalue a fandom/character. Same thing applies to real life situations.
Damn, you beat me to saying this.
Whatevs, yeah, let's drop it.
