Tag: Furry

theburningdonut asked: Also because of this stereotype it has been really hard to promote my own artwork, witch dose feature anthromorphic pin ups but dose NOT feature porn, BUT since people are SO sensitive about the subject of "Clopping" most people can't tell the difference anymore between Pin ups, "erotic art" and blatant porn. So PLEASE stop emphasizing a stereotype that barley exists! All these discussions ever do is support censorship and that's a scary thing to support!

This blog, if it’s not a porn blog, is for people who want to get off, frankly. So I’m not sure of the value of making this distinction here. But I am open to it. What tags would you suggest?

I could rather easily distinguish between pornography and the other categories you mention (sexual contact vs. none), but sorting out the rest of them (pinups vs. “erotic art”, for example) is less clear. How would you make these distinctions?

When you say I’m “emphasizing a stereotype”, two questions come to mind: What stereotype? That bronies/furries are sexually perverted or that people who draw non-pornographic adult art are perverted? as well as What do you mean by “emphasizing,” and how am I doing it?

theburningdonut asked: Alot of your issues seem to be the fact you can't tell the difference betweeen "erotic artwork" and "clop"when you "Attempt to categorize" things better you are justifying what others are saying about you!Basically your acknowledging that you are a "clopper".I am both a Furry and a Brony so exposure to "Adult art" is nothing new to me. Now admittidly I really don't meat that many people who use artwork for the purpose of "Clopping" and all you are doing is perpetuating a stereotype.

First off, I am acknowledging myself as a clopper. (Of course, I’m not super-public about it.) Yes, I do get off to the stuff I post, whether you call it porn or not. That’s not really an issue for me.

I didn’t really address the issue of people distinguishing between different types of adult artwork, because I don’t think anyone really cares. Is that a problem? Maybe. The stereotype seems to be that bronies or furries are sexually perverted, and I assume someone’s less likely to be sexually attracted if that person draws/enjoys only non-pornographic adult art than if the person draws/enjoys porn.

But even if you argue that some people who draw non-pornographic adult art aren’t doing it for sexual reasons, critics can still say adult artwork is a problem. (The main thing I see for the brony fanbase is that children can find it; that’s a much bigger discussion topic on my blog.)

needs-more-pony:

My personal opinion is people just need to not freak out about the idea of clop. I demand a general respect for my interest in clop content. In return, I respect the fact that many people don’t want to ever have to run into clop content, and I do my best to accommodate them. I have both SFW blog and a NSFW blog. And I keep them separate. The only people who find my clop blog are people who actually want to.

Essentially, everyone should respect each other. Non-cloppers should acknowledge and respect the existence of cloppers, while cloppers should respect that not everyone is into what they are, and keep their content discrete.

It’s pretty much the same dynamic that should be for bronies vs. non-bronies. Non-bronies need to respect that bronies exist and there is nothing wrong with that, and bronies need to not offensively effusive about their interests.

So yeah, I’d say acknowledge both of your identities. And don’t give a damn about people who may look down on you.

Never be afraid to just be yourself, but always respect the boundaries of others.

Thank you for your input. I agree with what you’ve said. However, my concern is not with others’ perceptions of me as an individual. I am more concerned about the perception of the brony fandom as a whole.

As I said, I fear that bronies are going the way of furries in that both bronies and furries get hate for having large proportions of sexual perverts which might actually be justified. I see bronies (and furries) defending their fanbase(s) against these accusations by saying something like, “Every fanbase has a messed-up side, but it’s only a minority.” Is that still true for the brony fanbase? The furry fanbase?
