Kickass People and Wonderful Artists
Welcome and Thank you if you have recently watched me!
I know most of you came from a certain commissioned picture of me. I would like to clear some things up.
If you have watched me because you think I am a Cboy or any variation of the term please Unwatch me right now. I specifically take offence to the term as do many of the transgendered community. If it is your personal preference to be known as such that is fine by me but please do not enforce what you think is right upon me or my characters. Especially correcting me and or the artist doing the work when it is of my own character/fursona. I do not see the struggles I go through life as a transgendered person to be a fetish because it is not. Cboy/cboi is a fetishized term whether you like it or not.
As I said if you are ok with being called one that is dandy and great but don't assume that its ok for everyone because its not. The term intersex is also an incorrect term for me. I am not both sexes I am one which is the whole reason for FTM to fit your body type in a way that represents you in both mind and body.
I haven't made these statements before because I clearly thought I didn't have to. When someone says "hey I don't like being called that, I don't like being touched, etc.." THEN YOU DONT DO IT. RESPECT THAT PERSONS RIGHT AND LISTEN. IT IS NOT YOUR CALL TO TELL THEM HOW THEY FEEL.
Its the same as if someone punches you and the person punching you tells you it doesn't hurt or it shouldn't hurt DOES THAT MAGICALLY MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY?? NO.
It is also extremely rude to leave negative comments on any submission regardless of its content. If you do not like It or think something is wrong that is not for you to decide. Sure you can have your opinion but you do not need to verbally state it on the artwork. It was not made or commissioned for you therefor your opinion does not matter unless you are the commissioner in which case discuss it privately.
I am terribly sorry for the rant but this really needed to be stated. I do not mean any harm in my words if you feel offended in anyway but this is just my personal views I hope you guy respect them<3

Plus I can agree, "C-boy" is pretty damned offensive. It's fetishizing, as you said...and a very insulting term. I enjoy the art but I hate how people label it. But, that seems par for the course for this site sometimes.
And no worries, of course I read it. If you ever want to talk, I'm a good listener.
PROUD OF YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF. <3
Thank you
And anytime, Atti.
I have seen a few pictures of yours floating around from time to time and I love how your donkey looks so I went hell yeah let's actually watch this person
I really hope the watchers you got came because they like your characters or supportive reasons and not the cboy stuff
Oh snap! Well im certainly glad you like my character and the artwork of them! There will definitely be more to come.
Im happy there was at least some people who understood in all this mess and I hope so as well! I sincerely feel bad for the artist though since they had to deal with those comments.
