Video game characters have been sexualized seemingly ever since the first polygon was rendered onto your TV and continue to this day to prove the existence of the 34th rule of the internet. That being said, every year Pornhub compiles a list of most searched gaming characters and publishes it for the sake of science!
This year's list looks similar to last year's but the order of the characters is different. You can notice on first sight that the list is being dominated by Overwatch and Pokemon, with Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider and Zelda thrown into the mix. Overwatch's most searched character is D. Va and sits at first place, followed by Mercy and Tracer. Misty, Ash's first female companion, is the most searched Pokemon character with a 120% increase compared to the previous year. Not too shabby is Zelda that saw an even larger increase of 129%, likely in light of Breath of the Wild's release. But it's not all female characters that were target of humanity's curiosity. Ash was searched roughly 900.000 times, not quite enough to be the very best, but still nothing to throw a regular Pokeball at. And he comes with his trusty partner Pikachu at his side, who happens to be the last one on the list, searched about 200.000 times with a 69% increase.
On to next year, then!
