Goober, sorry to have to beak this to you but YES, about 99% of the male population would kill to be with a Real-Life version of that image I posted further up, and I do think their intensions with her would be to to go upto her and go "Ah, the force is strong in this 1" it would be for sex. Also, There are all the girls who go running around in short skirts, Sakura, Usagi (Sailor Moon), and Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and the outer senshi thrown in for fun (carefull what you think about the outer Senshi, you could be in for a bit of a suprise if you mised their into) yarda yarda yarda, now I make it clear im not accusing anyone of being slightly insane and freakish, but hell, youve got to find that "slightly" sexual. Then again you are probably the 1%...

Violence violence, sex and violence go well together dont they, while I was thinking about this last night I realised why its aimed at lads and men so much as well as the girls (even on sailor moon), and even as sick as this is (Flagg, nuke this post if you feel the need) is that, as sad as it is *Cringe* it comes from the part that Men + Lads would just love to be dominated by someone *cringe again* now mix that with the reasons in the first paragraph and there you have it for Sex, and the Union of Sex and violence.

Now for voilence on its own, its kinda of differnt from the violence of hitting someone around the head with a metal bar, because its things like Energy Attacks (Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, Usagi Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, etc...) because IRL you cant actually fire Kahmehamehhar's (DBZ's "Ultimate Distuction Wave / Beam" in English) would be great if you could, so for things like that, its Violence, but violence derived from A desire to be able to do all these energy beams etc, Hell if I were Goku IRL id be laughing (just think, id never have to get a car, could just use instant translocation to get to work), so anyway...

Allot of sex, Allot of sex + Violence, but a strange sue of violence on its own (cause we all want to see the evil person get creamed dont we? :) )
