(I know this is an old comment but I still thought I'd throw in my opinion.)



I do agree that people should not sexualize Asriel Dreemurr. It's disrespectful to the character, and people who use him for sexual fantasies are not true Asriel fans. However, when I say that, the sexual art I'm referring to is extreme cases: Porn, fetish art, and any other disturbing things that I really wish didn't exist. I hate people who involve Asriel in that stuff...



But this fan art in particular is really not that bad in my opinion. While I do feel that the exposed legs in the left picture are a bit odd, it's practically nothing compared to the other stuff mentioned above. Not only that, but the other two Asriel pictures in this deviation are perfectly fine. And besides, this is simply a well-drawn piece overall; that's why so many people like it.



So basically, my point is that you shouldn't hate on the artist or the fans simply because of Asriel's legs. While I definitely agree with the bigger picture that Asriel shouldn't be sexualized, this particular drawing just isn't serious enough of an issue to make such a big deal out of it. I think it's pretty tame, really, so there's no need to get too upset (even if some of the comments take it too far, that's not the artist's fault).



And one final note, for anyone who's reading: It's OK to find a character attractive. Heck, I love boss form Asriel and I find him really attractive. But I still despise porn, regardless of who it is. In fact, I hate porn even more when it involves a character that I really like (such as Asriel). It's just gross. ;-;



(god damn why did I waste so much time replying to a comment that's almost a year old what is wrong with me)
