A modern type of Teratophilia?

Now a days, there do exist a number of people with an interest in monsters. Though it's seemingly often based on Japanese animated/drawn cartoons. This is supported by the recently(recent years) number of works involving monsters that have been 'melted' together with humans, forming what is known as monstergirls(or monsterboys). Do note that these recent works are often sexual.

Question is whether the obsession of these monstergirls or monsterboys can be classified as teratophilia.

More and more, especially in LGBTQ+ circles, teratophilia features genderless monsters that can be classified as "monsters" in a more traditional sense. Independent creators on platforms like Tumblr are making teratophilia content that is distinct from both paraphilia and Japanese art.

Does anyone else realize this article is an absolute joke

User '*very sad and annoyed*' created this article from whole cloth in March after it'd been a redirect for TEN YEARS. It references Chuck Tingle, a comedy erotica author, Donkey from Shrek, Sans from Undertale, the Babadook... The whole article is a giant meme. The fact that people are actually expanding and building on this article instead of scrapping and rewriting it is an absolute joke. 68.101.188.202 (talk) 02:54, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Teratophilia is named as such because "philia" means abnormal fondness, "tera" is similar to terra, which means earth, which monsters come from, and "to" relates to toes, arguably the most erotic part of monster anatomy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1241:8368:99E7:F83F:D597:B356 (talk) 12:55, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fear response

Teratophilia may also be linked to the 4th fear response "fawn" due to its centering on giving oneself over to the other's wants as a form of self preservation and in more extreme cases convincing oneself that that those wants are one's own desires as well. 50.37.85.2 (talk) 17:24, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
