Devil's advocate
9 years ago
So I'm going to state something that's unpopular but realistically i need to say it cause it bugs me.
I don't care about this whole fn bullshit. To me, If my life is faced with being at a disadvantage because of something i like or am associate with i deal. I dont make a scene.
Now some of us have dealt with this with grace while others started setting up the laser show on their soap boxes.
The thing that bugs me is that why does it take 24 hours or more to have a public debate about cubs? If this was any other art community there wouldnt be a debate unless the goal of that community was to defend underaged art.
Now, lets be reasonable. What happens if you go out on your street and start explaining to others that you like cubs and what cubs are? It wont go well for you. Yes, you could argue "its not the same! Its not real!" Right. Like they believe that. So why then, do peoppe fight a losing battle in the public eye risking your reputation? Furries are becoming more widely accepted but what happens when the common man realizes that cub art is part of the furry fandom? We're not trying to win the hearts and minds of internet artists who are aware of underaged porn but dont care or do but the public as a whole and yes, the cub stuff wont go over well.
Especially when we argue that its not the same but we also argue this "furryness" is a reality to us, a lens to experience the world through. We take being a furry seriously in some cases, but do we make a exception for underage porn? Do we really seperate it from the fandom? Or is it apart of it? And if it is apart of it, how the hell do you defend it when approached by the common public?
I'm not saying I'm against anything in particular. You know what i draw. But what i am saying is defend yourself first. Your right to live without harm or redicule. And no mater how right you think you are, some times its best to steer the ship up and over the wave rather then right into it.
Dont drown in this wave guys. Think of your life first and the consequences, fair or not, that come with your positions. I know what is like to feel contray to the whole of established reality law and the human condition.. but we are few and they are many with jails, noose's and mobs.

Cartoon porn online doesn't really have a culture or community attached to it that's not as heavily and obviously as furries are attached to cubs, or at least cubs are in that "furry bubble". What i wonder is how quickly does a negative reaction to cub porn carry over on furry communities compared to a negative reaction to shota carrying over on.. hmm i can't think of anything that comes close to being the equivalent of the furry community that can be reflected on badly due to generalized shota. Other than the Japanese i guess?
I'm all about good business decisions.
; p that's some reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy oddly specific ignorance for a furry.
It catered to an ignorant majority of users, who honestly either haven't thought about the issue in depth, or refuse to, and continue to have aggressive, knee-jerk reactions to anything related to cub porn.
All they needed to do was implement a blacklist system. Instead, they chose to deliberately exclude, and low-key demonize those who happen to enjoy something else from the majority. Further fragmenting the fandom.
I'm not okay with this.
