I’ve always had a thing for TInker Bell. I used to fear it was evidence of subconscious pedophilia. But i think it’s just the bob, the skirt and the attitude.
Haha. When writing this, I had a moment of doubt when I wondered whether people will think I'm fucked up if I write that a character from a children's cartoon/CGI movie is sexy.
But I think it's OK, as long as the character can legitimately pass for a young adult (or late adolescent).
Cartoon characters like Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit are considered sex symbols, but they are from adult movies/cartoons, so people think it's OK. So the children's cartoon part is what drives the bias.
And yes, Tinker Bell's dress is spectacular: micro-short, backless AND strapless - I don't think that's physically possible in the real world, at least without using adhesives. That's another part of fairy magic right there.
Love it

Hahaha exactly!
I would love to dive into those studies in case you might have any links, references, or could say anything more about what to search for?
