A small rant regarding cub art
9 years ago
I like diaper art. I like pictures and stories about characters in diapers, if you have seen my gallery and favorites, this should not be news to you, but there is one aspect of it I do not like.
Please, do not take this the wrong way. This is obviously a very popular thing, it must be or I wouldn't just see it so much. What I am about to say is my opinion, and my opinion alone, if you like it, great, but I just want to share my opinion on it.
I do not like babyfur art. At all. I think it is extremely creepy.
Now, my problem with babyfur art is obviously much more down to me than the actual art, and I will explain why. I have a pretty liberal view to cub art, I do not mind loli and shota in the slightest, but something I DO have a problem with, is very young characters, like toddler age or younger. Now sure, "Babies and toddlers wear diapers! It's natural!" and yes it is, but in furry art, I find diapers to be inherently sexual. It is just the way my kink works, I can see a picture of a diapered character and be like "Damn that's hot!" even if nothing sexual is going on.
So when I see pictures or stories of real toddler characters in diapers, it makes me think that there must be somebody getting off to this. Here is an example. I will not mention any names here, but there is this author who does diaper stories I quite like, and one of his stories was just about two cubs having a playdate, which was fine and innocent if not a bit boring, then they used their diapers and it was written in a very detailed and fetishistic way. I have also seen pictures of young cub characters that are similar to fetish pics of adult characters in diapers. Sure it is probably considered to be cute and innocent to most, but it just makes me sick!
Of course if adult furry characters are pretending to be babies, that is something I am totally fine with, that is just age play. (As long as it's not mental regression but that is something for another day) But sexualised toddler and baby characters are just not something I can deal with. I hope I have explained it adequately, and I am not making this to attack or insult anybody who does get cub art, as there is a good chance they do not see it as sexual, but I just had to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening.

So I do draw non-sexual cub art. A part of me has always been wary because well, yes, unfortunately someone might be getting off to it. And that makes me very... god no.
IDK I would hope people see my clean art and just take it for what it is - clean art. In fact, I find it so uncomfortable to have NSFW near cute innocent drawings, so I made a new account just to shove R-18 things here.
What I do find very uncomfortable is baby/toddler characters in wet/dirty diapers or being spanked. I find that's pushing towards more overtly sexual fetishy themes ... I know people that draw/commission that aren't always thinking of it in that way, but I just am pretty uncomfortable with it.
Yeah, I can understand the wet/dirty/spanking thing as really questionable, that is the stuff I REALLY don't like. Since I can see adult clean art as sexy, it makes me also kind of see cub art that way, and that is what grosses me out about it.
