"It's alright, it's just a fantasy and not real life" (and similar stuff)

Drawing abusive/incestual things is a unhealthy coping method. It is a real method if you're going to therapy but it isn't one that's really recommended. If one were to draw/write such things it's usually monitored base off who your therapist is and it's usually private. When people use the excuse that "I was "x" and it's a coping method" is usually bs. Especially if you're posting on a public fourm nor do you direct people into looking at something that's supposedly "private".

When it comes to really conveying these type of things, it's supposed to make you feel how you feel about it in real life. Like when you typically read something with this taboo nature you feel uneasy or you'll be like "wtf". Think of the show game of thrones, *** on there makes you feel queasy but then you have actual people thinking it's okay and that's what make this concept sad because most people don't know how to convey right or wrong and the whole entire purpose is ruin.

It reminds me of a writer I read back while I was in Britian and he wrote something about a child in this sexual relationship with their relative and throughout the book made you feel ill till he found someone who was able to save him. The author had a author note conveying how he was abuse and he sometimes put what he felt during that time with his characters(which isn't a uncommon method that artist use) and he wish he could have gotten help much faster or to experience the relief his character portrayed. That's art and it has a meaning.
 
True, but I usually thought most people cringe at that type of behavior and feel bad for the kid who has to marry adult since they're not mentally capable and that sort of thing is usually set on about religion tbh.
It is true that what's morally right for some people can be right or wrong. But I just tend to feel bad for people who think that way since it's usually just someone who either had some type of bad experience and invest those internal feelings into their drawing/writing(but it makes sense) then those who just *** on a concept and think it's art.

Well most people do. I think there may be fewer cultures that are willing to accept this, than there are cultures who don't accept these kinds of things. I definitely think it's wrong, but obviously not everyone in the world does since you still have these awful things happening :/
 
Please don't fight. I had high hopes we'd all be able to talk civilly about this sorta thing. This is what causes locks.

I MEAN talking about kinks and sexual desires (in more detail than you yourself did) on a kid-friendly forum is also what causes locks, but, you know,

I know what you mean, but the OP said from the very beginning they didn't want it to turn out that way. I suppose it's to be expected with such a controversial topic, though.
 
well it depends. if it's some sick **** like incest or abuse then it's disgusting?? but if it's something weird but 'not hurting anyone' like idk.. maybe a cupcake fetish or something.. then i don't really care. i mean who am i to judge someone's interests? as long as it's not something that throws off a pedophile vibe?
 
I think it's fine as long as there is a warning label or something so that people who don't want to see/hear it don't have to if the artist decides to put it up somewhere public.
