What the gently caress is a babadook? Is that some video game poo poo I've never heard of?
It's a well-regarded Australian horror movie from 2014. It became a meme a few months ago after Netflix accidentally sorted it into its LGBT category and people on Tumblr or Twitter or whatever appropriated it as a "gay icon" and started drawing fanart of it.

Personally, I really hate all this meme poo poo that's grown up around it. I mean, the movie is about a deeply depressed woman who grows so unhappy and resentful of her son (both for being inadvertently responsible for her husband's death and for being hard-to-manage in a way that suggests he may lie on the spectrum) that she straight-up tries to murder him. "The Babadook" is this partially-metaphorical threatening figure that embodies the fear and resentment broiling in this family...and people have made him this cute little cartoon character that goes on dates with a being that ensnares and murders children. Fantastic.

I've never known much about the Babadook, but having read It, I've been a bit perplexed the last few days how much people have taken to Pennywise considering it's normally the same crowd that would get extremely riled up about any kind of positivity involving a monstrous character that specifically preys on children.

It's because someone posted a joke image about Pennywise being an LGBT icon and the worst people imaginable got really mad about it, so now people are just running with it.

What I like about that is that the gender thing acts as a sort of anger barometer. The higher the number of genders, the more angry that person is.

:mad: Stupid sjws with their 14 genders!

:argh: God drat sjws with their 37 genders!!

Erotic xenomorphs is literally the original concept for xenomorphs though :confused:

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe "erotic xenomorph art" wasn't right; perhaps "horrifyingly fetishized xenomorph art" would be more accurate. Either way here's something I found that I had to see with my eyes, and now you do too. If you decide to click the link anyway.
