Kind of a gross article, yeah?[]
So we've been chattering in the Discord chat today that this page is A) basically redundant when we already have a Lust Object page, and B) kind of uncomfortable by virtue of having Draco Malfoy on there (and the potential for other underage characters getting added in future). Also, I personally feel like the whole "lusting after characters" thing was a lot more tongue-in-cheek and self-deprecatory in the "older days" when the article would have been made. Smutty fic out in the internet-at-large is a lot more . . . well, smutty now?
So, I guess the first thing to discuss: is this page redundant and/or outdated enough to warrant a change? As for the actual solution, I'm not sure what, if anything, needs to get moved from here to Lust Object. Thoughts, all?

- Yeah, I agree. I think the page should be removed and some of its examples should be moved to Popular Lust Objects. I don't think the agents should be there, though, since they're not actually popular LOs. Other than that, Sirius Black, Captain Jack Harkness, Mal Reynolds, and Spike are the only ones that are on Sex God and not Popular Lust Objects

- I don't think it's inherently gross to acknowledge that some characters are widely considered attractive and that some of those would revel in it. Even the underage ones, IF the fanbase is itself largely underage, too. Teenagers are often horny; It Is Known.
- That said, I agree that it can get weird (and it should be pointed out when it does), and that this particular term isn't really relevant enough for its own page. It would do fine as a sub-topic of Lust Object.
- (Also, where are the Sex Goddesses? Surely there are female characters who would revel in the admiration of the masses, too!)
