Hiya, the name's Benny! Here you will see a collection of my doodles/random thoughts. Do not interact if you're into/defend shotas, lolis, Zoos/ Pedo/Necro etc. This account is for adults only, and will often involve stench (farts, burps, musk, etc.) fetish content. >:3 #furry
"but what if i don't have the money to pay an artist? what then?" i don't have the money to own a cool jeep so i don't own a cool jeep. where is the disconnect here
@ZiddersRoofurry I agree with you, theres nothing wrong with enjoying plushies to cope. But something just seems off about sexualizing not only the coping tactic itself, but an object that is the epitome of childhood innocence. Why would someone want to corrupt that? For brief gratification?
@ZiddersRoofurry It's not the act itself that's harmful, I don't care, do what you want. It's when someone makes it all public and romanticizes it where it starts to seem off. Even you admit it's a coping tactic, you don't find it weird to sexualize a coping tactic, especially one kids use?
@ExayArD Fair point, but that's also a lot more broad than the topic at hand. Yes it's common in children, but as we've seen as time has gone on, it's also very popular in adults as well. Adults usually don't treat their stuffed animals like romantic partners, that's pushing it.
@callistobcl There's a huge difference between someone having a gas fetish and someone fetishizing behavior that is prevalent in children. Pull your head out of your ass.
wrong, I do understand how the way they put their statement could be considered insensitive. But sometimes people just need to hear the cold, hard truth, without all the sugar-coating bullshit this community so often likes to do.
My final take (for now) on the AI Art thing is this. I can't speak for Star but I was never trying to imply that artists were not worthy of making a living wage. That's not for me to judge. But there's a difference between saying "I want to live a stable life" and... -
I wish I could be more optimistic and offer up a way to appease both ends. But I don't really see that happening anymore. I do once again want to apologize if I was an asshole about the situation, I have took more time to think on it and while I don't fully agree that Star is -
@CallieButSmelly@MintyN0tFresh @Star_Bucke Look, atleast on my end there's no hard feelings in all this. I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole at some points but I'm just gonna stop here because I'm not gonna keep butting heads over this. We're not gonna see eye to eye, and that's okay. Hope y'all have a good day
@CallieButSmelly@MintyN0tFresh @Star_Bucke I don't really think this is as dramatic as y'all are making it out to be. I'm not going off to fight some righteous holy war. Really I don't have much stake in either side of the argument. Star's post showed up, I happened to agree with parts of it, that's it. I'm not invested.
@MintyN0tFresh@CallieButSmelly @Star_Bucke God don't get all self-righteous over furry art dude. "Class A Bootlicker", to who? Because I'm not supporting the artists on this one? I don't fucking like those AI art companies stealing shit either, don't get it twisted.
@CallieButSmelly@MintyN0tFresh @Star_Bucke Okay, I'm sorry I used the word entitled. But I still stand by my point though. Also, its not like this is a guaranteed lost of income. Like any market, there's new competition in town. Fans will still remain loyal to their favorite artist. If not, who cares?
@CallieButSmelly @Star_Bucke Alright, fair point. But honestly the whole whining about the AI art thing is, in a sense, childish as well. Y'all are mad? Quit complaining about it to random furries on Twitter, take the fight to the source, rally up, be heard. It would be a lot more productive.
