About: What Measure Is a Humanoid?   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

This is where there's something romantic going on between a human and something that, for whatever reason, looks equally human but is actually nonhuman (not Petting Zoo People, just a nonhuman that spends most of the time looking human). The romance element can be anything from subtext to full blown relationships, and for some reason are never treated as if there's any reason why they should be squicky at all. In fact, in some cases, they actually come across as sweet and touching, and the dominant thought on the readers mind is usually "awww," which probably wouldn't be the case if the nonhuman in question wasn't usually human-shaped.
