The fact that someone so involved in the community feels the need to do something like this is unacceptable, and the fandom as a whole should be ashamed of its self.
Not a single person in this fandom isn't weird, strange, different, or is free of liking something that could be considered detestable or gross by someone else in the fandom, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THIS FANDOM has the right to pass judgement, or make assumptions about anyone else in it, and if you think yourself exempt to this, or that your preference of animal people fucking other animal people is somehow higher on a moral pedestal compared to others, you are straight up, a fucking moron.
To say that drawing / having interest in cub art makes you an actual real life pedophile is akin to saying that drawing / having interest in furry art makes you an actual real life dog fucker.
Guess what, there are actual pedophiles all over the world, and attacking furry artists isn't the way to stop them. There are people who fuck animals all over the world, has attacking furry artists stopped that? No, and it never will, because being a furry doesn't make you a dog rapist, and drawing cub art doesn't make you a fucking pedophile.
At what point do we forgo logic to go on a witch hunt because someone likes something that we don't?
At what point do we forget that this is artwork; drawn fantasy, that it is not real.
"ABLOO BLOO BLOO DRAWING SMALL CUTE CHARACTERS IS SUPPORTING CHILD ABUSE"
No. No it isn't. Anyone with the slightest shred of common sense knows the difference between a piece of paper, and a living creature. And anyone with a brain in their skull knows that witch-hunting something you don't like and lashing out at the nearest convenient target isn't the way to fix anything.
Ironically enough, most of the more mature and logical people I have met in the fandom have been in places where cub art is the predominant topic.
If you don't like something, that is completely 100% fine, you do not have to like that thing, infact you can hate it with every fiery fiber of your being, but, that does not make it okay, or give you the right to try to violently ostracize someone who hasn't done anything wrong, or something that anyone else in this fandom isn't guilty of in some way shape or form.
This is a community based around weird things, and if you feel it necessary to attack someone because their flavor of weird isn't okay with you, then you are straight up, an asshole. An asshole that needs a reality check.

it's not at all about doing the right thing, and it's everything about looking like you're doing the right thing.
I use Twitter only because it's like the biggest media connection that everyone I know has, and not because I like it at all.
And I mute 1-3 accounts almost every day because of shit like this, or other unrelated stupid shit that's all the rage these days.
Honestly, as long as whatever it is stays just fantasy or is between consenting adults I really do not care what people do. It does not affect me in anyway. I may not share whatever fetish they have but I don't have to concern myself with it because they are doing it not me.
I wish I didn't see examples of this kind of thing all the time in this fandom nowadays. It's almost a joke at this point. "THIS weird kink is fine, we like to indulge in it. But you're into THAT weird kink? You should be ashamed of yourself, how dare you?"
Fuck anyone who does that. Chances are it isn't about the "right thing", it's more about making sure everyone knows they don't like a thing, and if possible, to sweep that thing under the rug so they don't have to "tolerate" it anymore.
And cub's only one of the kinks I see go into this line of fire, unfortunately...
FICTION IS FICTION!There are millions of works that depict various illegal acts. Draw someone slicing another person in half, no one bats an eye; Draw one cub dick and everyone loses their minds!
IT doesn't effect people IRL, unless it hurts their feelings because it's something they don't like. Everyone's up in arms about either cubs or nazi cosplayers... Where's the hate for oh... I dunno?
Rape art? Cannibalism? Snuff? Gore? Drug use? Murder?
This stuff got old back in 2008 and It's really stupid. just makes me wonder what we're gonna witchhunt and drive out of the fandom next in 10 years. My advice: If you know someone who witchhunts others, causes problems, drama between people? Stop talking to them and block them.
This shit needs to stop. Seriously.
