I felt I should say this. I wanted to draw a hot woman and then make her say something, but I didn't want to make her say stupid gooner bullshit anymore, so I made her say my opinions instead. My opinion is that people should be treated with respect, care, kindness, and dignity, regardless of who they are, what they are, or how they present themselves The combination of drawing hot women and simultaneously expressing my opinion sparked an unexpected fire. A lot of people revealed themselves to be cruel, bitter, and dehumanizing, and that was disappointing to watch. It also gave me a glimpse of what many women go through almost every day, every week, every year of their lives. It makes me sad. It disgusts me. Let me be absolutely clear. It is not hypocritical to create or consume NSFW and still respect women at the same time. The idea that NSFW *is* objectification, and inherently dehumanizing, speaks more of the viewer than it does about the artist. No one in porn is telling you to devalue women or to disregard their feelings, thoughts, opinions, hopes, dreams, or humanity. So you can't absolve yourself of responsibility by trying to make the point of "You made porn" or "she dressed a certain way" so clearly she WANTS to be devalued and treated unkindly and disrespectfully. NO ONE wants to be treated unkindly or disrespectfully. Not even you. I will not apologize. I stand firm in this position. If it makes you angry, I invite you to ask yourself why.
