Can anyone explain to me the appeal of gay people, or more specifically gay characters to wear rainbow colored stuff like rainbow stripped socks/stockings and underwear and stuff? I know it's representative of gay pride and all, but why is it seen as attractive to display it in such a blatant manner through sexy clothing?

I have no problem with a person or character being proud of it (cause they should be), but I just want to know why it's appealing to viewers is all, especially in gay [furry] art where it should be obvious anyway. Does it turn people on more or something?

im still trying to figure out why, whenever there's an ace character, they always have the most porn drawn of them.

@kamimatsu: I think the term for that is "psychological reactence"?

Basically, people don't like to be told that they can't have something, in this case it's seeing an asexual character have sex or be portrayed sexually. So the natural response is to make the character have sex anyway. Also in this case, since the reason seems unfair or completely arbitrary, it just feels like the only way to not be 'controlled' by the creator for a 'stupid reason' that 'makes no sense in the first place' is by rebelling and making it happen regardless.

In lamen's terms, just think of the classic situation where someone says not to do something and the other says "you don't own me!" and they proceed to do said thing.
