One of the most disturbing moments I've seen in the Anime... That much is for sure. Not the most dusturbing moment in ANIME, but definitely in Pokemon.
To a degree, definitely. But as a counterpoint/devil's advocate, what about Jynx, or Gardevoir or any other of the humanoid Pokemon used in such a manner? Suffice it to say, Pokemorphs are popular online. My theory being, people have less of a knee-jerk reaction to certain forms of furry depending on the humanoid aspect. If it's alien in design, obviously, our fear of the unknown would stir a possible visceral reaction. Whereas, if it's human-looking enough, the familiarity to our mind's eye would make us comfortable enough.
Look at the Latias design: she's not ugly, no, but not humanoid.
It's stupid, but that's how the human mind works. And after 5 some years,
someone might have thought about it. Heh. And it was a fresh direction, even if bizarre.
So, if you want to argue from the bestiality issue, uh, go for it. Heh.
I'm not sure why I decided to bring it up here. I guess my brain was on. Heh.
