I took the poll, and so I can already see I'm in the minority even before posting this. Obviously the primary reason for that being loli = petite. Petite = realistic, with zero exaggerations in terms of unrealistic proportions.
I guess I'm a bit of an anomaly. Obvs I enjoy smols in AVNs. It's not because they're smols, though. At least, not literally speaking. In fact, if I could will into existence my ideal visual characteristics into an AVN that has smols, they'd have quite unrealistic bodies.
That last bit, I think, serves as a perfect segue into the reason for my answer being in the minority for the poll: I like big butts, and I cannot lie. Jokes aside, I genuinely do love cake. I don't really even care if the woman it's attached to has a sizeable waist. If anything, that's where the "realistic" attribute would be both welcome and admired by me. Yes, I'm saying I like 'em thicc. More than the cake, I also love giant tits. Straight up. I despise AVNs that have average or below-average tits. My satisfaction goes completely out the door at that point. We like what we like. So, in summation: The thicker, the better. The bigger, the better. I'm not necessarily saying go straight to SSBBW, I'm just saying that in a world of make-believe, why would I want to limit my enjoyment? Why not maximize all the things I love, visually, regardless of whether I'm likely to find that in real life? Isn't fantasy the goddamn point??
This brings us back to the original question, as it pertains to smols, since that's the reason 99.9% of us are on this site in the first place. So, if I like what was outlined above, why do I even bother with pursuing AVNs with smols? Simple: because so many fantastic ones fall short of being near-perfect by omitting smols outright or by preventing any lewd content with them. I want all the ladies of all the ages (yes, even a nice GILF is welcome), and I want their appearances not to be average/realistic. Otherwise I will get bored. Does that mean I'm shallow? Immature? Incapable of looking past the aesthetic to appreciate good writing and storytelling? Perhaps that would be fair to say if we weren't talking about a type of entertainment who one could argue has the sole purpose of arousal. Be it slow-burn or straight to Faptown, if any of us wanted to play it safe with sexual content, we'd stick to mainstream games. Hell, even those are starting to get more immersive and provocative in their storytelling and player experience.
If you read all of this, you're awesome.
