@BladeRaisor Just because something is fictional doesn't make it ethical or moral. The content being sexualized is still children, fictional or not

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@leosleepy And he continues to try and hide from everything under new suits and accounts

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt I don't think everyone who participates has the same motives, I was more so questioning the people who's motives are specifically sexualizing the childlike/infantile aspect themselves. And I apply that to furries and anthro characters as well

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt And I realize that some of my earlier wording probably came across as generalizing the entire community as though everyone is specifically sexually attracted to childhood, that's not what I want to claim. I appreciate you explaining the underlying dynamic you're talking about!

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt Rather than claiming every person who identifies that way has the same motives. I'm concerned about the subset for whom childhood itself is the sexualized component, yk?

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt So I don't want to paint everyone under the same label with the same brush. I think there can be different motivations within the same community. I'm questioning the specific form of sexualization that can exist within it

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt If someone is deliberately sexualizing infancy, toddlerhood, childlike behavior, or childhood associated objects bc those things are what make the scenario sexually appealing to them, then I have a moral objection to that regardless of if the person participating is an adult

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt And I don't think that means those people are attracted to actual children or that they're inherently dangerous. That's not the claim I'm trying to make

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt If for some people the appeal is primarily the dynamic (surrendering control, being cared for, feeling cute, etc.) rather than being sexually attracted to childhood itself, I understand that distinction.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt Okay, this actually helps me understand your perspective a lot better. I don't want to assume that this is what every person who identifies as a babyfur is getting out of it, bc I'm sure there's different reasons people participate.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt So I don't think we're necessarily as far apart on the underlying question as it might seem. Where we differ is where we draw the moral boundary and what we consider to be the actual subject of sexualization

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt When I draw an anthropomorphic character, I'm not specifically sexualizing the fact that they're an animal. I'm sexualizing the fictional character as a whole; a character portrayed as a sapient adult person whose animal and human characteristics are both part of their appearance

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt An anthropomorphic character having animal characteristics doesn't automatically mean I'm sexually attracted to animals or that the animal characteristics themselves are the sexual object. I'm attracted to the character as a whole, who is portrayed as a sapient adult person.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt - then that's exactly the kind of sexualization of childhood that I'm questioning. And I'm applying the same principle to my own furry artwork.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt A character being labeled “18” or “1,000 years old” doesn't automatically answer what the artwork is sexualizing. If the character is intentionally designed to resemble a young child and those childlike characteristics are part of the sexual appeal-

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt Adults naturally vary in appearance. My concern is when the artwork deliberately reproduces and sexualizes the physical/developmental characteristics of childhood itself.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@DIPPERSCAP @smartyprance4 @alyxamutt I actually think the loli example illustrates my point rather than disproves it. I'm not saying that an adult being short, having a youthful face, or possessing one or two childlike traits makes them a child.

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt In the situation I'm criticizing, my concern is when infancy/childhood itself becomes the intended sexual appeal, yk?

[𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 🔜 BLFC 26 @OctavioMutt]

@smartyprance4 @DIPPERSCAP @alyxamutt So I don't think “you draw furry porn” disproves my argument. I think it raises a parallel question that I'm willing to apply to myself: what exactly am I sexualizing? In my artwork, my answer is the fictional anthropomorphic adult character as a whole.
