i'm not a sefikura fan myself but if you're mad about it being gross, nasty and fetishising of abuse, why are you mad at normal people online instead of Square Enix for adding all the fetishy stuff to the Cloud/Seph dynamic as fanservice and profiting off it repeatedly
the original game has none of it - Seph doesn't even really know that Cloud exists for most of the game, but makes one comment making fun of Cloud's obsession with him ("So cold. I am always by your side"). even when possessing Cloud it was to make him beat or threaten Aerith
all the sexual predator imagery was added in post-VII media in order to titillate a presumed female heterosexual gaze. why aren't you mad at the people who are making money off selling that dynamic to girls, rather than girls who like thinking about hot vampire samurais?
You want to know the most messed up thing Sephiroth is used to sell to girls? In VIIPSX, we're told his possession of Cloud works on Cloud's own weaknesses. He makes Cloud beat Aerith. Cloud then apologises and Aerith instantly forgives him because that wasn't the real him. lmao
if you sincerely hate patriarchy marketing sexual abuse to women as an aspiration, the worst way to combat that is to scream 'you are bad' at the victims who bought into the scam.
i also don't personally think that the itch sefikura is scratching in people who love it is some kind of desire to have a hot guy take over your mind and make you give him the apocalypse rock. you probably don't think it is either
(and before you say 'no they're relating to Sephiroth, the abuser! it teaches them to do abuse', no, nobody does; literally everyone into that ship vicariously identifies with Cloud - he is the subject, Seph is the object)
