I'm the latter post. Passion Patties. Was the nudge I needed to realize I like weight gain and THICC, but obviously not to the extent it's at by the end. I just like a little extra. The hottest part of the episode is this right here, but if I actually sit down and watch it I can just fap to a lot of scenes out of nostalgia.

>>91319738
Let me think...

pokemon (crossdressing, bodyswap, age progression, transformation)
digimon the movie (age regression)
yugioh (hypnosis, magical girl, blondes)
sailor moon (magic powers, magical girls, hypnosis?)
Alice in wonderland (girly girls, poofy dresses, and of course tiny/giant girls)
Cinderella (princessification)
bartok (breast enlargement)
fairy odd parents (tg, ageplay, hypnosis, magic, purification age regression, age progression)

I got a playboy bunny outfit and pantyhose/tights fetish from a cartoon I think I proberbly missed some stuff.

Someone needs to make a list every cartoon/anime that has fetish material and list each fetish contained in said show

Because they're a mood setter. Having the story to be serious always gives a feeling of apathy to be public, so showing someone having fun with everything lightens the mood and demonstrates how there are different perspectives, which adds realism.
