Babyfurs
13 years ago
Hey, this is my first journal entry, but this topic just came to mind and I wanted to talk about it. Most of my friends know that I'm a DL (That's a diaper lover for those of you not in the know, or someone with a diaper fetish in layman's terms.) and I originally got into furry art by making a few babyfur pieces. Initially, I was going to make an entire animated story using flash animation, but being me, I lost interest and never finished it.
The reason I bring this up, is because I guess I feel a little embarrassed about uploading my diaper related art. I don't know why, there's nothing inappropriate about it, like adults taking advantage of kids (or cubs) in fact, all of my diapered characters are young adults, I have yet to draw any cubs, although I do plan on doing so. I wouldn't put anything sexual in cub pics, but I know that they can get a lot of criticism anyway (not necessarily on this site though :3, folks here are usually pretty nice.) Anyway, it's something that I accept about myself, and I've posted other diaper related material online, but I guess I just have a bit of hesitation since this isn't exclusively a diaper site.
An interesting thing is, I've noticed that some of my furry friends feel more awkward about being a furry than they do about me being a DL, and vice versa. It's not that either of us are ashamed or anything, we just feel a little uncomfortable about it. I'm kind of an unofficial furry myself. I have a fursona (Chaz) I have a mate (well a couple really, but
Mal's the important one <3, 7 years next month!) And pretty much all of my friends are furries. The thing is, if someone asked me point blank if I was a furry I'd probably say "Well yeah, basically" and if they asked me to explain further, I'd probably go into a little more detail about how I find anthropomorphic animals interesting, and do anthro artwork, but it's not something that I'm compelled towards (whereas, I am compelled towards diapers.) However, if someone asked me point blank if I had a diaper fetish, I think I'd dance around the issue a bit. I wouldn't lie, but in a way, I feel like I would need to defend myself about that particular issue. Of course, this is a hypothetical where this would be someone known to be critical of non-traditional lifestyles.
Anyway, I AM going to post diaperfur art to this site. I guess in a way this is kind of a warning to my watchers who may not know this about me. I may loose a few watchers, but to be honest, that's not something that I give a shit about. If someone's going to unwatch me over something like that, they don't deserve to watch me anyway. And besides, it's just a number on the internet. One that's bound to go up and down anyway.
Don't worry, I'll still be doing work without diaper related content. I do enjoy making that stuff, and I know that I have friends that aren't into diapers, and I don't want to bore them with a constant stream of padded butts and pacifiers. Plus, there's a lot of non-diaper related ideas, swirling around in my head, that I definitely want to get out there.
It's not a big issue (well, not for me anyway) just something that's been on my mind. Talking (typing) about it, just kind of helps me to deal with it. Anyway, hope you're all doing well, and perhaps I'll write a few more of these.
