Anyway... back the subject of TFs.

Apart from Rogue's on Evolution. Can anyone think of any TFs that were placed in TV shows or film pointlessly? TFs put there for the TFs sake alone, things that might suggest the makers of said show/film had a fetish for it. Or even if the TF wasn't pointless, perhaps it was made sexual when it didn't need to be.

I can think of a few of the latter. In the "Howling" series, many TFs took place during acts of sex. Now if that doesn't scream "TF fetish" I don't know what does. "Cat People" being another example, where the TFs were actually triggered by the act of sex itself.

Let's see, alright. The latest clip on the main page. Was it really necessary to have the girls shrink out of their clothes? There are even a few frames showing their bare chests, nothing is really shown, but it's implied. The age of the girls involved is a whole nother matter, but I won't go there.

In "Martin Mystery" there is a scene where a woman is shrunk out of her clothes. It doesn't advance the story, or affect the plot. It was either done for a laugh.. or more likely just for the sake of having a woman shrink out of her clothes. Again, there are a few frames showing her bare breasts (though no nipple is visible).

In the movie "Splash Too" (bad sequel to "Spash") a woman in a resturant turns into a mermaid and splits her skirt. Not much there, but this was made by Disney, I think Disney owns the rights to both movies. Both having TFs and brief nudity. Disney in general is a big contributor to the TF community with it's cartoons, Aladin, Gargoyles, to name just two. Both shows having a large assortment of TF scenes. One prime example in the Gargolyes series is when Demona transforms from Gargolye to Human infront of the mutant (I beleive his name was) Claw he clearly says "Kinky". During all of Demon's transformations, one has to admit she does tend to moan and groan an awful lot and several times tears her clothing apart.

Many times in the past Disney has been the focus of controversy, supposedly hideing sexual imagery in it's cartoons. TFs may simply be more of the same, though it goes largely overlooked as the general viewing audience doesn't few transformations as sexual. Though I don't really see how one can overlook a woman moaning as her clothes tear as anything but sexual in nature.

Anyone else have thoughts on these issues?
