Slimers

Slimers (mentioned in Episode 5 of The Grandma's Virginity Podcast) are people that are sexually attracted to "Slimer" from Ghostbusters. Similar to a furry's attraction to anthropomorphic cartoon animals. Slimers are commonly split into two groups, those who are attracted to the CGI "Slimer" from Ghostbusters (1984) and those who are attracted to the animated character "Slimer" from The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991).

The origin of Slimers is believed to be linked to the original showing of the film Ghostbusters, where adolescents who experience spontaneous arousal during the scene with "Slimer" subliminally link their arousal with the character "Slimer," and invoking their future fetish.

Characteristics of Slimers include collecting Ghostbusters memorabilia, specifically items that involve the character "Slimer," modifying plush "Slimers" to adapt common adult toys like Fleshlights and dildos, and dying/custom ordering green sexual lubricant to enhance their masturbatory habits and sexual encounters in order to simulate sexual contact with the character "Slimer."
