comkiller: @Grape: Rules don't make the language, the language makes the rules, and so the rules of the English language are about as solid as the Earth's crust: not so much appearing and disappearing, but constantly crashing into each other, shattering apart, and making new stuff in a language where exceptions to a rule can be more numerous than examples. Which is exacerbated by the fact that English is a bastardized language made from bastardized languages. And just saying "it's not a word" is going to make people who actually formally study and understand what's going into the language think you don't know what you're talking about. It's like a lasagna made from feelings of smug academic superiority.
comkiller: @Grape: That actually doesn't matter. It's established in the English lexicon firmly meaning "X", and that makes it a word meaning "X". Dictionaries do not determine what is and is not a word, but instead are ever-changing catalogs of the constantly evolving languages in the world. Setting aside more natural evolutions such as irregardless, one merely has to look at the works of Lewis Carroll, especially his poem "Jabberwocky" in which he spliced together words to make jubberish that conveyed feeling purely through context and thr "texture" of said words. After 150 years, half of these words similarly entrenched themselves into the English lexicon and are accepted words with accepted meanings, irregardless of their nonsensical origins.
comkiller: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: "I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there, any more than there is for you. Malcolm... I'm a monster. What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done." But seriously, I'm a snarky prick irregardless.
comkiller: @Rick2tails: Because the booru's first page being littered with your_weird_OC self-inserts, potentially turning off new members is... "good"?
comkiller: "Wake up, kitty kitty. That's it. There's a rat in my cell, Khajiit. A fat, tasty rat. Does the kitty want it? Is the kitty hungry? You'd better take whatever you can get in here, Khajiit. They don't feed the new prisoners. Didn't you know that? First they starve you. Then they beat you. Then, if you're lucky, they kill you. That's right. You're going to die in here!"
comkiller: If you can't tell, I'm quite bored, but I think I've figured it out.
It's the juxtaposition of the sexual content and the attempt at wholesomeness that is triggering people's weirdness factor. I hear what you're already thinking and yes, "it's natural", but Humans are weird in that we're the only animal with permanent breasts and we're also the only one that naturally use them as a sexual display.
Evolution does stupid things sometimes.
In this instance, they're also on full display for the audience here. If it was from a side view, or covered in some way, then that might be a different story. This is also combined with the "your weird OC" factor. It doesn't matter how you construct an OC, they're always going to be that weird outsider in most people's minds simply because they're an outsider. And no offense intended, but this is an odder example on top of that.
This combines to create the perfect storm of weirded-out confusion in the audience's mind.
comkiller: Apparently women used to have ridiculously low necklines and also show off their backs. They'd have to hide their hair and legs, because that's just unseemly, but cleavage was perfectly fine.
comkiller: Like... I've been to some of those "weird porn sites" and came across pics of Katia with things like hard vore and even weirder things. I'll even admit that I found Prequel in the first place because of some (non-vore) pics of Katia tagged "Elder Scrolls" and "Khajiit", but for some reason this is just... "unsettling"? It's like some strange uncanny-valley kind of weird. It's not even some "dats MY waifu!" kind of thing; there's tons of other posts here that would trigger that if I thought that way. I'm not saying OP can't make these or post these, just... idk. It feels off...
comkiller: @Nefel: I'ma chalk this up to personal tastes so this doesn't get out of hand, because I feel they look pretty consistent and cool, not to mention the fact that they ARE bipedal lizards and cats.

I actually kind of liked her before reading this comic.
