The internet adores gamer girls, and the current queen of the genre appears to be 19-year-old Belle Delphine. She’s got 2.7 million followers on Instagram, 228k subscribers on YouTube and more than 2,700 patrons on Patreon.
But despite her massive success, there are still questions surrounding her online persona. Namely, what is the deal with her ‘ahegao face’? The internet is filled with photos of girls making this expression, and the fad has even made its way into sexy porn videos.
Ahegao is an expression that’s often used by female characters in hentai porn to show they’re reaching a climax. It’s usually a combination of rolled-up eyes, a stuck-out tongue and blushing. The whole idea is to exaggerate a woman’s loss of control over the orgasm so it’s more erotically charged.
While some people consider ahegao to be harmless and a lot of fun, others think it glorifies female sexual degradation and encourages dangerous fetishes. The trend has also been accused of racism and stereotyping, but it’s hard to say what the truth is since so many of the ahegao faces are made by underage girls who are probably unaware of its origins.
As the ahegao face has grown in popularity, it’s even become a niche in sexy porn videos that are uploaded to famous adult sites. In fact, the demand has been so great that ahegao faces have even been made into t-shirts and hoodies.
But the craze seems to have gone too far. A recent Tweet from a popular Twitter account shows an image of an underage girl posing for a selfie, making the ahegao expression. The tweet quickly got more than 5,000 likes and over 500 retweets. Many of the commenters, however, were very concerned and urged the user to stop making these kinds of images.
A few days later, the user apologized and wrote: “I’m sorry for causing so much distress to my peers… I didn’t realise how offensive it would be to someone who has been r*ped.” She also noted that she’s now only using the face because it’s a “fun way to express myself”.
Despite the controversy, the ahegao face is still going strong. The expression has even become a defining feature of some popular online communities and is widely used in memes. In fact, the ahegao subreddit on Reddit has over 304,000 users who regularly post NSFW pics of girls making the face.
As the internet continues to grow and evolve, it’s interesting to see how trends develop and what new faces we might see next. But in the end, it’s up to us to decide whether or not this particular fad is something we want to continue to support. Personally, we think the answer is no.
