Your headline is incorrect.
It should read, "This Sexist Cartoon Everyone Is Freaking Out About Is ***ALSO*** Fetish Porn"
There's no "actually." The label of sexist is not inaccurate.
Porn, by nature, is sexist. It isn't exclusively sexist against women, but it is *always* sexist. Someone (hopefully at least some adult consenting human, but let's not pretend that's the limit) is *always* being turned into a sex-object.

If it's a cartoon, there is no human involved.
As for turning people into sex-objects, well, yes, it is one of our basic instincts. This helps us perpetuating the species, which does not mean it comes into play at every moment. That's the problem with sexism: it is fine to have dirty sexual fantasies in the bedroom with an adult consenting partner, but you need to learn to keep them in check the rest of the time. I guess this is the problem with radfem: just as their male counterparts are incapable of seeing women as anything other than walking vaginas and uterus(es?), they are incapable of thinking of men as anything other than rampant rapists led by their dicks.
Your definition of "sexist" is broken, and not just because, according to it, all sex would be inherently sexist. Also this is a cartoon we're talking about. There are no people involved to objectify. No matter how frequently your friend with the dakimakura collection insists otherwise, cartoons aren't people .
I had a feeling it was that particular cartoon.
I thought it was hilarious how someone's fetish art (which is the opposite of what usually happens in that particular TF subgenre) ended up being mistaken for commentary.
Also I'm pretty sure that the "Bimbo" side of the picture is supposed to be spray-tanned, so calling it racist too is a bit silly.
Porn, where two consenting adult humans turn each other into sex-objects, is hardly sexist, it's just human sexuality.
Sexism has a huge dollop of stereotyping mixed in it, not just objectifying.
"Someone (hopefully at least some adult consenting human, but let's not pretend that's the limit) is *always* being turned into a sex-object.”
Ah. You’ve got a pretty useless definition of ‘sex object’ going, there.
I mean, i want to have sex with my wife. I have had sex with my wife. I will have sex with my wife. This does not make her a sex object in my mind. Objectification is when one thinks a person’s ONLY purpose is sex. Using the person as a self-cleaning sex toy.
If i so much as grant her the right to say no, she’s no longer an object. As it is, i enjoy her conversation, her cooking, her insights, her memory, and her ability to drive stick.
If the people in the porn express consent, they’re not objectified.
I have seen porn where the women are essentially blow-up dolls that don’t squeak, but that’s not ALL porn.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
