Question - The Origin of Aeromorphs
2 days ago
So does anyone know where the word “aeromorph” was made up from and how did the anthro plane art subculture began?
When I went to Anthrocon 2017 dressed as Owen, I had a TON of people from China ran up to me and I had pictures taken since I was the “first aeromorph in Pittsburgh”. With these people, I never had these pictures with me other than few others taken by anyone who’s non-Chinese. My mother believes that the aeromorph culture “originated from China”, but I couldn’t find any proof especially with the “Great Firewall” (or Chinese gov censorship). So was it a really Chinese thing that just as popular as Labubus or was it more of an American thing? If any of my Chinese followers know, please say how long was the aeromorph/living plane art fandom is in China.
The other thing is, I honestly wish that there would be a documentary on aeromorphs, the entire history of it instead of just videos focusing on the fetish art side of it.

When these comes to US, it is automatically propagated to the whole world.
For example - I really like Digimon anime series - its from Japan. But as not many people speaks that language, it was brought to US, dubbed English and spread to the World - because... it's more profitable to sell the license abroad :P
I'm pretty sure it came from the people who sees something more in the vehicles than just machines that moves people from one point to another or from military soldiers - pilots.
I heard in one of the flight museum that pilots many times in their talks were impersonating the plane especially during talking about dogfight in the skies.
That would be interesting!
