Important!! Regarding My Position on Feral NSFW
5 years ago
General
Okay guys, I feel like saying this is super important, especially right now given everything going on in the community.
I'm sure I will loose a number of followers for this but this is something personal.
I will no longer be in support of Feral NSFW.
Originally, I did not see the harm in it. I've drawn it for commission work before and I've drawn it personally for myself. Before, I felt like there was enough of a separation. I explained it away that unlike Cub, you can't really use it to groom animals into these situations.
But, reading through everything on twitter I came acrossed a few threads the really stuck out to me. One in particular had someone recounting their own experiences of being groomed into believing that Zoophilia is acceptable and they said that they were shown and forced to consume NSFW feral art. I have never looked at this way. It had never occurred to me that what I had told myself actually happens. Thinking about the possibility of my artwork being used for something like this, I don't...really know the word for it? But I absolutely hate the thought of it. It terrifies me and makes me feel ashamed. I don't know if my art has ever been used or if it ever would be but the mere thought of it is enough to make a complete 180 on how I viewed it before.
I am not a zoophile myself. I never wanted to be associated with it but I'm now seeing how drawing feral NSFW regardless of your feelings on zoophilia could put me in with a group I do not want to be associated with.
I'm not trying to imply that everyone who draws or partakes in feral NSFW are Zoos by extension. This is a personal decision of mine. I can't feel good about making this content or excuse myself any longer.
You are welcome to unfollow me if you do no agre with my decisions. And given the fact I HAVE drawn it before and you're uncomfortable with that despite my change in feeling, you are welcome to unfollow me as well. I will understand! I just felt that coming out and saying something instead of waiting for me to be exposed was the best course of action.
I do not support and will not continue offering this is a commission option. I will of course continue drawing SFW feral art!
In regards to FLO, I would like to make a gradual move to there. I cannot completely move from FA at the moment because of the amount of artwork and refunds I owe and every single person I would need to use FA to communicate with them!
I also follow a massive amount of people on here, some of which draw Feral NSFW. I will be taking the time to unfollow the artists still actively drawing feral NSFW. It will take some time as I've said because I follow so many people but it's a move I feel needs to be made!
And final note, I've taken steps to remove the feral NSFW artwork from my gallery and will be combing through it again to make sure I haven't missed anything!
I hope you all can understand my decision! 💖
I will be disabling comments on this journal as I don't want to argue with anyone who feels my decision is the wrong move. I don't care about being persuaded to change my feelings about this.
