I'm starting to worry about the sanity of these people who complain, it's like they can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality anymore. :P

they had none to begin with my friend if they are worring over fictional characters.

So much yes.

SJW mindset - Your rights end where my feelings begin!

I mean really, don't like it, don't click on it.

SJW: "OMG, you liek raep pron, you r a raepist in da maek!"

Rational human being: "Um... No, because I understand the difference between fiction and reality, fool!"

Most people don't even see it as rape porn, just basic porn as they just ignore whats going on and instead just see the sex involved.

I mean shit, everyone with a brain hates actual rape, but most people don't think about that when watching hentai but hentai in no way is supposed to be realistic. No woman I know of during the process of rape gets TURNED ON in the middle of it. There's a clear disconnect between fantasy and reality going on.

Look at something hard enough you'll eventually offend anybody.

I like to imagine the rape as a sort of roleplaying scenario between the characters myself, makes things more enjoyable ^^

I don't think that it's as simple as people just not seeing it as rape porn, but people knowing that this is a romanticized fictional depiction of rape. It's not even really all that dark, and it's really playing out more like a fight scene with butt sex.

And to your second statement, yes, actual rape is bad. But I wouldn't go as far to say that "no one" gets turned on by it, I personally know a few people who've been raped and are pretty heavily into rape fantasy.

For a lot of people (not saying all..) who were raped, being into rape fantasy scenarios is about going through a similar, or in some cases identical, situation and having power over the event where they didn't before, not being turned on by the idea of being raped. It's a way to help deal with what they went through.

This is true.

In trying to evolve my personal character "Jackie Shay" I peruse emotional help sites, and forums to read about how people deal with their trauma. I did run across one or two accounts of a person claiming that they liked their experience, (though I would question the validity) but it was obviously not without trauma because they were seeking help. I don't recall the exact details, but they were distraught over the fact they found their own experience thrilling, and that their desires were strongly overpowered with thoughts of being raped again; and they felt that it was becoming an unhealthy and dangerous obsession.

If this is indeed a truthful or at least semi-truthful admission, I can see how hard it would be to admit such a thing.

It's been a while since I've seen someone put so much work into developing characters. It's awesome that you go so far as to look into real-world situations. I could see how it would be hard to admit liking it to even oneself, but I think it's more that an aspect of it turned them on, not the actual event itself. I've not been through that sort of traumatic experience but I've been molested, mildly at that. Part of my liked it (which yes, does bother me in some ways), but it was parts/aspects of what was going on, not the fact that I was being molested. I was not and am not okay with that. Take the parts/aspects that I enjoyed and apply them to a consensual scenario and I'd enjoy them just the same, if not more.

they have to, its the manditory action that the sjw mindset demands take place.

Where does the map end and, the real world begin? - Yeah, people who believe a fantasy world is more real than the one they're living in, really need to unplug.

I totally agree with this comment the mindset of the people complaining from what I've seen really makes me question if they can accept it and quite saddening that you have to point out what is completely obvious

Why are people so judgmental of fiction anymore?

because of entitlement. They get some dilusional opinion that they view as factual and they try to push it on people forcefully. Anyone who disagrees with them is automatically wrong. Etc etc.

The modern Homosapien is very sensitive and easy to offend. No matter what one does there is always going to be one or more that will take offense to something. Fiction is most common trigger and will often times go out of their way to say how offended they are about something and may end up resorting to threats of violence or worse to make an artist or writer see things from their point of view.

You would think with shows like game of thrones being hugely popular right now, people would be used to adult themes like this owo

its a double standard, "I like this, therefor its ok, I don't like THIS, therefor this is not ok. Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong"
its nothing new, look anywhere else and you'll see the same closed minded thought process

...Correct :3.

This reply is made 10 times more amusing thanks to your icon.

Lol I guess no one ever taught her "Dont play with your food" :p
or she is just that evil that she was taught not to play with her food but entered full IDGAF Mode :p

People get bent from this? What they feel there porn is non canon? Lol let scappo do their thing.

Good on you for actually making a villain unlikable. It seems most 'villains' anymore are being made too sympathetic. Keep up the good work.

Good to know that you aren't trying to make us hate Fibh. How could I possibly hate him even though he's an a accomplice in rape......LOLWUT =P

I mean, in one form, he's cute but creepy...So creepily cute (But more on the cute). And in the other, a hunky sexy beast !!!

Are you seriously getting hit by SJW's over the tone of a furry tentacle porn comic...?

Because priorities.
<3

thats funny....sad but funny.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Social Vampires posing as SJWs would leave this shit on tumblr? We can only hope, right?

"It's a comic. She's the villain."

Don't listen to the whiny faggots.

People are seriously complaining about this even though mara's species has been depicted having sex most of the time?

Please don't listen to these people! They're trying to bend you to their agenda, trying to dictate your content!

Don't give them anything but an unflattering comment about their mothers!

Huh.

I always thought that was the general Idea that she IS the bad guy because she was referring to her as food/lunch.

The other fish dude, if it is a fish. Looks like a fish. Is her little/large minion. xD

ignore them scappo.....they just want to hear them selves speak for the sake of speaking.

Dude I don't know if
People don't like they don't like I guess?
I'm a little lost.

I was going to say maybe she has a cruch on Dawn and that's her way of showing affection :3

Oh boy, the rape subject again.

Obviously the only way you're allowed to identify villains is with mustaches and top hats.

Well then you did a job well done, however it's only fair that you respect their right to dislike the comic, I personally dislike the comic for a different reason but I digress, I get what you going for and not everyone will enjoy it. My advice don't care if your fans like it or not finish through it ultimately not every thing is right for everyone and if I and other can't stand it so be it.

Mara and Mora are fairly rapey...that's their characters.

People like to complain, more news at 9!

Keep up the awesome work on the comic!

Tonight at 9 no one cares...see news at 12

Seems to be lingering on the 'rapey' bits with gratuitous porn shots a bit longer than I would expect if it was just designed to set them up as bad guys. :P

Well I agree it's his creation and he should continue it.I would however like to add not everyone is into every thing, In fact it's normal. I'll admit I don't like the comic but I do like the artist and the art involed. It's why I am one of Scappo's prefect patreon supporters

this is true Scappo's art is freaking amazing and is something I'll always enjoy and appreciate.

Aww thanks so much !! I'm really grateful for the support you guys ^_^;;!

Honestly I think it's because people feel Rape is such a cliche way to make people hate the villain instead of actually making them a villain. There have been several characters in fiction that save abandoned kittens, do all sorts of good things but, because they rape they're the bad guy/gal/etc. And it's just overdone.

Well its a good thing Scappo's under no obligation to please the cliché-sayers.

Well, while that may be true, ignoring theories that are based in constructive criticism and basically telling an artist to ignore any criticism constructive or not is not helping them.

If you like an Artist that's fine, but, you by no means have the right to stop their growth by trying to silence anyone who wants to actually help them develop as an artist/storywriter/etc. because let's be honest if there wasn't any inherent flaw in the scene, there likely wouldn't be an issue.

Be it the 'being rapey' being out of character for said character, I don't know I dunno who the fuck either of them are but, I'm saying that might be it. And everyone just starts crying fowl left and right even when it's a GOOD COMIC. My only issue is that it's just a good comic, when it could be a GREAT COMIC.

The only thing really stopping me from calling it a Great Comic is that I have the nagging feeling that the people crying fowl are doing so for a reason (Which I've placed my theory on in bold) but, yeah that's just me.

So the TL;DR
Take all Criticisms with a grain of salt but, do the same for your fans, too much unbiased praise hurts more than it helps.

I imagine this is all just a stage or a movie and it's all just light hearted stuff that they all can laugh at later "Hey Remember when you were all tied up by those tentacles! hahahah fun times eh?"

People need to lighten up and separate reality from fiction, there is a time and a place to make a stink about abuse and all, a furry comic with a more then obvious porn story isn't the place for the SJW crusade.

Depicting rape from an "evil" character no more makes the artist concerned someone who condones rape than depicting murders in her stories made Agatha Christie a closet serial killer :-P

The only problem I have with the comic is its vore-ish aspect to it

I can promise you that there won't be any actual vore :).

I never figure there would be, but to be fair Mara calls her lunch and already claims to be draining her. Even if she never eats her the comic steps into a grey area for me.

That being said by no means am I against it and honestly will probably breeze through it all the same, words aside I can still enjoy the skill it takes to draw the pictures.

No matter what anyone says, be they so-called social justice warriors (who in my opinion shouldn't even be called that because it seems to me they fail to understand freedom of expression and fairness just because they don't like something), or people stating supposedly legit grievances, none of it actually matters. People need to take more responsibility for themselves and stop trying to protect others from things that can be avoided more easily than taking the effort to complain.

Basically if they don't like it, then they should just go find something they do like instead and leave others alone. Sometimes there is real reason to complain and raise a stink about something, but it doesn't apply here.

I get people that bitch about my gallery being mostly feral art.

Hell, I've even had people send me notes on FA about how my series "ruined Pongo and Perdie's marriage", I shit you not.

I cant make this shit up if I tried..

These are the same people that bitch about video games making kids violent.

Okay, know I'm responding to this a bit on the later side but seriously? I read that and just...I seriously don't think I could head desk hard enough to forget that kind of stupidity.

Yeah it was... pretty amazing..

Some people just have serious issues separating fantasy from reality.

Fuck the fucking fuckers.

Do what YOU want.

Hmm...I hope these individuals never Google the term Netorare. That'll blow there hearts right out the window.

Still love that you included anal.

if you do good work when reading the dialogues imagine the voices of charas

But if I don't like it then it must be wrong!

Your rights end where my emotions begin.

Do SJW's have their heads so far up their anal passages that they think writing a villain in a story is to condone his (OR HER, don't shoot) actions?

Holy shit don't apologize or explain this shit dude, ignore these people. Keep up your work it's great.

Well, even in the main comic (don't remember the name) I don't like her so I'm ok with her being evil XD I like her power though :3

I hope to see more rapey stuff. I feel like dawn got off too easy last time. SPEAR HER ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!

It's not like you're doing this in real life or it's hurting someone.
People are just stupid, pay those no mind.

OMG this is actually ridiculous.. IT'S A FICTIONAL UNIVERSE GUYS...

There wasn't an uproar when it happened on GOT or nearly happened in GOT coz there's a lot of whoring and pillaging on that show just saying..

And also if rape in a fictional sense makes you a villain does that automatically make everyone with a rape-play fetish a villain? I certainly bloody hope not..!

-Drinks tea while waiting for the butthurts to make a reply to ^ That comment-

There wasn't an uproar when it happened on GOT or nearly happened in GOT coz there's a lot of whoring and pillaging on that show just saying..


That's uh, that's not true 8D; There were and are a lot of people who have been turned off of GoT for exactly that reason (ie it's pretty tasteless and definitely insensitive in how it portrays things -- the books aren't as bad as the show but they're still pretty gratuitous).

There wasn't from where I am standing, a lot of my friends are Thronies, including one of my close friends who has been through such a thing in real life and yet no trigger from GOT so when I see it from that perspective, that is where my point stands.

I guess it's all in who you know!

I hate rape and I like to point out to artists who draw it when they have gone too far.
But even I realized that Mara is supposed to be evil and that there will be some kind of punishment down the road.
People like to overreact. Feminism and being anti-rape are good things! Until someone on the internet starts overreacting, then it just gets annoying...

It's a fictional story designed to be erotic. Which it is, if you are a fan of furry tentacle and yes rape porn.

The important part is that is a fictional story. If you don't like the content of the story you are free to just walk away and ignore it. Nobody is forcing you to read it against your will.

Second point: This story entertains many people including me. And my right to be entertained outweighs your right to be offended.

Third point: It is fetish porn. And the rape fetish is very real and especially common among women. If you don't like it, that is your personal problem and nobody else'. Your personal feelings regarding rape in real life simply don't matter here.

Scappo, don't let these people talk you into something. It's your story, it's well drawn please continue to do your thing. I'll bet my ass that the silent majority of people reading your comic know very well that you don't condone rape just because you drew a story about it.

Keep up the good work!

I wouldn't pay them too much mind I think it's quite obvious the characters in the story and the furries that are complaining just baffle me that it is a fictional story and nobody is actually getting raped and is a fetish (I will happily admit that it is a fetish of mine)

Real life rape shouldn't apply to fictional story plain and simple. Don't like it? then simply look at something else scrapo has quite a lot of art. It's sad that you had to point out what is completely obvious

Keep up the good work Scrappo!

It is hard to imagine the thought process of someone who goes to a porn website, clicks on some porn, then comments "I don't like this type of porn you shouldn't make it".

...she's a rape demon, what do they expect exactly? Cuddles and whispered sweet nothings?

Some people actually needed to ask this? Really? What are they, nine?

Actually yes,.. Most likely regardless of their physical age, they are mentally children.

I know exactly how you feel. I see a post online about how Disney is sexist and I just sigh. I'm more mature than the complainers and SJWs. At times, I seriously think I'm one of the last sane people on this planet.

I'll never understand that mindset where people go out of their way to say things that amount to "This particular fictional work doesn't suit my tastes!"

The mindset is entirely about "Look at me, I don't like this work of fiction, so nobody is allowed to, either!" Example: "Feminists*" in Australia had GTA V effectively banned, because they focused on one tiny aspect of the game: Killing women. By having GTA V banned, this minority (only around 40'000, by the by) think of themselves as the better person, for getting rid of a scourge that wasn't there to begin with. If an action is implied in a game, you'll bet people will want that game banned JUST for that action

punishment? Dawn gets rapey back at mora?!?!....You have my undevided attention sir.

RME at most of these commenters.

I'm pretty used to the Waystone style content, it's pretty typical of hentai, so I just look past it; there's usually a "whoops random encounter and really the main character likes it" thing to it and I get its use in narrative convenience so whatever...

That said:

a) rape is terribly overused as a "this is what a bad guy do" device, and rape as a phenomenon is way more complex than that in act and in fallout, so I hope that's not the entire function/summation of this scene's dynamic; and

b) if you're getting enough concern over the subject matter to address it in a journal, maybe take it as an indication that your audience might not be so into it, which is an important consideration if only from a $ standpoint (a comfortable audience is a lucrative one, and one that recommends to others).

So, y'know, bearing that in mind-- you're gonna do what you're gonna do. I like Mara's characterization, personally. I could take or leave the subject matter.

A lot of the responses on here are pretty douchey IMO, I'm kind of um, impressed.

It's only rape when you see tears and mucus coming out of the person you are Yiffing.

Besides if I were a tentacle monster I'd be doing the same thing to her. She's so hot.

There is so much to say, in so many ways, and not nearly enough time nor space in this box to do so :I

Essentially, ignore the people crying about the content you upload. You can't please everyone, and if people can't handle certain things then they don't have to look at it. It's not being forced onto them. They have the option not to look, or like, but not the right to say it can't be done.

While it's understandable to develop a character well, how you develop them isn't a big deal. To those crying about how some things are overdone, it doesn't matter how many times it's been done. It's still a technique and method of character development. If Mara is the kind of girl who'd do this kind of thing, why should Scappo change her behavior just cause "it's been overdone" or because people don't like it? Answer is he shouldn't, and if he does I'd lose some respect for him as an artist and a writer.

Okay that's it from this Umbreon

Bah.... those complainers can go tolly off and eat a trough of their own entitled bile.

A Scappo submission isn't one to complain about I say. Sadly in this day and age everyone has a fucked up opinion to push onto others like that bitch who spritzes you with perfume in the mall. They don't realize how much it irks you to be tainted by their bizarre odor of uneducated thought.

Even if you give them a jolly whacking upside their everything they still dribble on as if you merely didn't hear them the first time.
