The phrase describes depictions, often in visual media, featuring a fictional cyborg character consuming or integrating something into their being, with content categorized as “Not Safe For Work.” This categorization indicates the material is sexually suggestive, graphically explicit, or otherwise unsuitable for viewing in a professional environment. An example would be a fan-created image of the character undergoing a transformation after incorporating another entity.
The phenomenon derives its significance from the character’s established background and design, combined with the inherent appeal of transformation and power dynamics present in certain types of adult-oriented content. It taps into pre-existing character recognition and then applies specific thematic elements common within niche interest groups. The rise of internet culture and readily accessible image manipulation tools facilitated the proliferation and increased visibility of related creations.
