so is this proof that men will get horny over anything, or that men can get horny for more than a woman's body? 🤔
Are they attracted to the image, or the idea of an intelligent woman?
- Intelligent women are pretty hot… hmmm
- Behold a sapiosexual
- Hornet is certainly intelligent, but I think her defining characteristic is more "A woman who takes no shit."
  
  He's talking about the xkcd woman lmao not Hornet.
- The image.
  If they were attracted to intelligent women they would be wearing a chequered hat and smoking a pipe.
her name is fucking megan
- No, she's called Ponytail! Megan has a bob cut and is obviously far less attractive. Uh... to that guy, I mean. Obviously...
- Well maybe she needs a little badge that says "Fucking Morgan" so we would know.
  
  no I think King Arthur needs a little badge that says "Fucking Morgan"
  
  Why should we know who she is fucking?
  That is private information.
People are getting horny over Hornet??
- I don't play hollow knight, but a friend who does told me there's a line in the game that strongly implies she's a lesbian. Methinks that implanted horny bug smut into many a gamer.
  
  I must have missed that line because Hornet never struck me as someone with much sexual interest.
- its the internet people get horny over literally anything
  
  I'm sexually aroused by your lack of capitalization and punctuation.
- People generally get horny over knights in shining armor and princesses.
  Hornet is literally a princess knight. Hell she even has a white steed.
  She's a bit of a tsundere on top of it.
  Hollow Knight is a very very cliche story of knights and kingdoms both the first and silksong. These sorts of stories are basically the foundation for a lot of peoples childhood fantasy stories.
  So you have a very well made classical knights and kingdoms fantasy story with well done classic renditions of the standard character tropes.
  Combine these two facts and you have a breeding group for people to become overly attached.
  There's a good damn reason these settings and character tropes are classics!
- Yes. Do a quick sweep over DeviantArt, Rule34, and Archive of Our Own for Hornet if you dare.
Is it because the XKCD women (and the men) are possibly naked at all times? It's not obvious whether they're wearing clothes all the time or not...
- I think there are a few comics that imply they have that distinction?
- I prefer to think that Black Hat Guy is naked except for the hat
  
  He would be, wouldn't he
- Just like everyone on Lemmy... I know about you sick twisted sickos. AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW... you're not alone.
- It is quite obvious they are naked.
  They have censor bars all over their bodies.
