Fetish content can be a lonely affair
4 months ago
Sometimes it would be nice to be able to be more open about the stuff I write, to talk it over with folks, to swap ideas and talk about how excited I am to be working on a new story, but I can't exactly chat about it on Facebook, or stream it on Twitch. I operate in a niche within a niche of internet culture and most folks would likely be horrified by the stuff I work on.
I've been called sick and perverted and all manner of names under the sun before now. Even had a death threat or two, but that was a while ago. The internet is both a more restrictive and more permissive place now, but I know my stories still go far too far for most people.
Anyway. Just wanted to sound off. Back to my next commission about another guy having a very, very bad day. Not a human this time, though!
I know. Shocking.
TTFN.

Not only is it NSFW, its considered NSFL as well. It leads to some awkward moments. I'd love to maintain a steady catalogue of "normie" content to remedy this a bit but I simply don't have the time/drive for it.
Most people outside of the fandom(and a depressingly notable number of people within it) just aren't equipped to understand how little an extreme fantasy reflects on the actual character of a person. It's a shame, because the acceptance of erotic content truly needs to propagated now more than ever. If we were all safely able to be open about this stuff I feel it would settle many of society's ills. Nobody should be ashamed by their imagination. To be open is to be heard, to be healthy.
I'm glad I got a few good chums both online and IRL that I can chat about vore and similar stuff, but it's still frustrating how it feels like i need to keep it a secret from most everyone else in my life. My family doesn't know I draw vore or furry porn in general, and my coworkers don't even know i draw, save for one who thinks I do "graphic design" on the side. Which isn't a total lie, you could definitely call some of the designs I've made rather graphic XD
I know what it's like: I draw a lot of things, but my family and friends in real life won't see my progress with all my vore and fetish works XD
On the other hand, they do see some SFW works that I post on my personal pages under my real name. But besides that, I have this name, Thux-Ei, which is my universe, which I share with people who accept it and love it, who help me progress, and motivate me.
I meet a lot of lovely and caring people who, even if they aren't fans of these fetishes, will not judge me. One thing that helped me accept my vore side, before joining my first community, was talking about it with IRL friends. They were open-minded, listened to me, and never judged me. I also have a boyfriend who loves what I do and supports me <3
For every person who calls you mentally ill, sick, perverted or wants you dead, there are many more who won't judge you. But we hear less of them, of course. It's the mentally ill who threaten you for your art.
Never be ashamed of it, as long as your conscience is clear (unlike those who make death threats against strangers!)
As if because when I was younger a fascination with anatomy and gore was fine for some reason but less so as I'm now an adult. Always being told to write nicer things or at least "normal" porn.
