This is just some weird rambling from me.

It’s no secret that, as a babyfur/diaperfur, I enjoy diapered clad cuties in artwork. Unsurprisingly, just because other artists draw characters in diapers, doesn’t instantly make them diaperfurs or babyfurs. I remember several times when artists were displeased with comments I left involving diapers, which is understandable, I was insensitive to talk like that and I usually reserve this talk for friends or artists I know are fine with said talk.

The real reason for this journal is another thing I noticed: Artists who originally drew normal stuff, but then started drawing diaperfur/babyfur stuff. I won’t name any artists, but I can’t help but wonder if it was the fault of myself for causing them to take this path. Don’t get me wrong, I Love seeing talented artists draw cute diapered stuff, but at the same time, I worry that they aren’t all that into themselves and only do it because it’s more lucrative than the art they like to draw.

I have heard of artists lamenting how their diapered art is more well received than the art they put their heart and soul into. It is a tragic thing, they should be able to put their all into what they truly love instead of following successful trends. It’s a shame many of them need to make money and can’t do so.

This knowledge has caused some minor guilt when I commission artists for diapered art even though they likely don’t have it close to their hearts (to the point where I’m doing everything in my power to avoid commissioning certain artists for diaper stuff, even though they do it). I still will likely do it, but I wanted to say something else:

Draw what you want. If you don’t care about drawing diapered art (and you’re not in urgent need of money), then draw whatever fills you with joy. I admit I would be sad to miss out on said art, but I don’t want anyone to be pressured into doing so if they are sick of it. So please, don’t let a weirdo like me hold you back. Draw from your heart.
