Yeah, for some reason, furries have had a moralizer problem in recent years. Suddenly there are kinks that make you a bad person even when they're done in a fictional context. >.> It's like there isn't enough to be mad about these days, that people need to invent new reasons to be T R I G G E R E D.

yeah, but the issue is their beef wasn't so much the kinks of fetishes involved, but was all about how PC the content was.

I've written several erotic works, 2 of which are up for sale on Amazon and Smashwords, and I've never once needed to go to a person to make my species lore.

Now, as to "Judging you on your porn." Sorry, but that's going to happen to everyone. We roll up on a user in a computer repair shop, I used to work hardware repair at CompUSA, we discovered a guy with child porn on his computer. There's an actual limit to how much KP you can have on your computer and be "safe" but you gotta know any tech who looks at your computer is going to look at it, then look at you and tell his friends about the degenerate that they came across. I know, cause we did all the time at CompUSA when we'd find someone that was just under the threshold to be reported to the cops and their shit impounded.

There's a reason lawyers set out things like legal limits and the like. Why do you think so many people get stopped going into Canada with shota or loli porn? Hell, they had a guy who had videos of an actual adult stripper but she looked under 18 and they took him to court. They had to get the model to come and testify that in those videos she was of legal age and that yes, she was doing this of her own free will. People are going to judge you on your porn, whether or not you like it, and are just writing it for a client.

Someone asked me to do an attribute theft story involving oppai loli and I had to turn them down. Not because I wouldn't write it, it's a fictional character, but because I knew that should anyone read that they'd say "Yep, that's a closet pedo right there."

And you can sure as heck bet my friends love to remind me that I write smut, even though I'm slowly but surely laying out my sci-fi and fantasy stories. Building it brick by brick. You are judged by the media you consume and produce. It's just facts. So maybe if you don't want to be judged by risque work you shouldn't send it to folks who would question you.

Why not throw your work up on Reddit in one of the many writer's subgroups and ask for their opinion. They'd give a fresh perspective on whatever it is you're working on and if it's really so vile and disgusting or if it's ok and this artist is taking it out of proportion.

The issue they had wasn't even the kinks/ fetishes involved, but essentially on how Politically correct the content was. The actual kinks involved are in my opinion pretty damn tame by today's standards. Mostly pregnancy based, and before you ask NO to the loli stuff, everyone involved is supposed to be like in their 20's to 40's age range.

Oh! And this reason I hired them was because I felt it would be a fun project to take on, to help me flush out the entire idea. Sadly I suck at this sorta thing. Like I'm good with broad ideas, but getting the nitty gritty down is very difficult for me.

Ah, I see. So, allow me to present the second side of this little story.

A bit of set up though: I am a moderator of the server you adamantly left, Lopernicus, and the owner tends to keep me and others informed on situations like these so we can stay aware. Now, there's only a few things I'd like to clarify, if you'd be willing.

First and foremost, the person in question does not do erotica or fetish bait works. Period. That has been a long standing rule and disclaimer of hers. Had you actually been up front and said that this was for erotica, she would have declined outright before money was exchanged and that would be that.

Secondly, speaking of up front communication, that requires money to not be exchanged and paperwork to not be started. Getting the process started and paying her, then stating as an after thought that this is for erotica is not up front. That's negligence at best, manipulative at worst.

Third, when you are trying to have work related conversations, do not drop personal griefs in there for no apparent reason. Statements on how you had a panic attack or your father has cancer do not belong in professional discussions, and seem to only exist to attempt some form of emotional manipulation via garnering pity points. If you are not well, say that things are rough and you may not be at your best. That is enough to get the point across to anyone who isn't completely daft.

And fourth, understand what you are trying to commission. This person in question does long form, deep dive world building centered on realism and internal consistency. Had you paid attention to what you were requesting, you would know this. Had you asked to clarify what service you were getting, it would have been made obvious.

As a final note, this person in question does retain the right and privilege to decline or cancel any works that she feels is wholly uncomfortable to her. This includes baby factory octopus people, justified enslavement, and wanton eugenics.

Yeaaaah. I told her about my intentions of the story from the very beginning before money even changed hands, and everything was agreed upon. Also as I also have stated I mentioned those issues in order to convey why my own end of the editing process was was delayed. The assumptions of them being intended to manipulate were not welcome. And she did not cancel the project I did. I had to repeatedly ask her to cancel for some time before she conceded. Plus her deliberately lying about issuing her refund also does not make me want to trust them very well. I do not know if she sent you to talk on her behalf which honestly feels likely at this point, but I would much rather hear about this form them directly. Not one of their sycophants who they have under their spell.
