Why is it that 2d girls smoking is hot but 3d girls smoking is disgusting?

>> No.1641273

>>1641123

I am in japan, I just never bought cigarettes. I don't smoke, I've just seen the machines. Still looking for the ones that sell used underwear.

Yeah, I know, they've taken most of them away, but it would be cool to find one.

>> No.1641281

>>1641225

Because 3d girls are the ones you could actually kiss. Well, not YOU of course, you wouldn't be here on 4chan if you could.
