We as geeks are generally an accepting bunch. That may be quite the generalization to make but when I (and I'm sure you as well) live a majority of your life obsessed with or following subjects of little or no interest to the mainstream public I feel I can speak with certainty that we tend to be open minded about a good deal more than most. Take that and our love of exotic worlds of science fiction, fantasy, and myth it's only natural that some of those fantasies translate over to real life. This series of articles will highlight some of the lesser known circles of geek taboo. You may think it odd, strange, or even bizarre. But leave your opinion at the door, for you may never know what activity you partake in may be considered Geek Taboo.
SLIME GIRLS
In my journey across the less treaded forums, threads, and sub-reddits of the internet, I've seen many a things. When one travels through such territory, it's assumed you will find a fair amount of Hentai (anime porn) along the way. It may be a shot in the dark but I feel safe in assuming that a vast majority of you are familiar with the "tentacle monster" even if you haven't physically seen it. Our subject is similar to that kind of erotica.
Slime Girls are a type of erotic monster with mixed origins that I could not for certain confirm, although the earliest reference seems to come from a Japanese Hentai style RPG by the name of "Monster Girl Quest". MGQ is home to many fantasy creatures, all of which (in some shape or form) are made to look like attractive women. So out of all the creatures, why these blob women? Why are there multiple communities tumblrs and a sub-reddit dedicated to the depiction of these females? To shed some light on the matter I talked to moderator of r/Slimegirls Northly_knives.
My first exposure to slime girls was in reading the comic Living With Monster Girls. I would say the major appeal of slime girls is the fact that, because they are amorphous, the sexual possibilities with them are endless. Any part of their bodies can be penetrated; therefore what you can do with a slime girl is limited only to one's imagination. Furthermore, because slime girls feed on sperm, they are generally portrayed as very willing participants in sexual acts, as opposed to the often violent and forceful scenes shown in other Hentai or real pornography. Finally, the fact that slime girls are perpetually wet/dripping ensures pleasure and comfort.
Amorphous blobs certainly do allow for women of many shapes and sizes, and a quick google search can indeed reveal just how creative artists can get with the matter. It's also good to see the art form, as mentioned in the above quote, moves away from the sad violence depicted in such things. All in all the slime girl crew, while their tastes may not be in line with mine, are an alright bunch. Stable minded people with different interests and desires. At the end of the day they are regular people with jobs and lives separate from these interests. So we end for now with a bit of new knowledge and a better understanding of the rarely seen interests of our colleagues. Comment below and remember the next time you spot something uncommon, strange or out of the norm in your circles, pass no judgement. Who knows? Maybe the next geek taboo will be about you!
