i asked a lefty straight man i know (this is IRL) whether he was aware of the transformers comic where little girls have to kiss them to make them transform. i cannot overstate how little he wanted to talk about this, let alone acknowledge that any of it was real
That, along with one line in the Wiki "Discussions" section that goes "A deep, chilling dread, like that no doubt felt by many a character in H.P. Lovecraft's lurid works". Also, Why does this exist?
I think the part that's the most nuts about it is that the youngest character was...16 I believe? And the other two leads were adults. But you wouldn't know this going off the artwork.
(Also the artist not only still does work on the brand but probably designed toys you own)
In anybody's defense, the Transformers Wiki was once set up so that any time synonyms of the words "creepy" or "messed up" or "sickos", etc. appeared in articles, they linked to ...uh... the explanation for this.

I take some small comfort in knowing that terminally-online right wing internet crank shit is deeply repellant to the average American, so much so that they could easily be mistaken for any old political boogeyman you might want to project upon them.
“What’s that? People are mad about Disney making woke log flumes? They’ve fallen to DEI? Your father knows more about fishing equipment than I do, go ask him”

I looked at the wiki link someone else posted and... it's straight up pedo material.
What the actual fuck!?
