[🌸 | tw. mentions of nsfw content and fetishization.]
—> This time I’m going to be very straightforward with two issues I’ve personally encountered within the fandom. I wish for these to be considered and heard as I am not the only one facing these problems.
🍓 | 1. Please do not send me nsfw drawing requests. This involves anything that is sexually explicit. I’ve gotten very descriptive 18+ asks within my inbox, and it is preventing me from properly viewing constructive criticism and feedback. This is not only an issue of consent, but also ethicality. As a minor, I should not even begin producing this type of content. Pressuring someone for nsfw art in general is not ok, especially when that individual is a minor. I’ve heard the excuse that my drawings “look mature enough to pass,” but that is still not a valid reason to be pressuring me.
🍓 | 2. Fetishization does not sit well with me. (especially if it involves my art) Please do not refer to my work as anything along the lines of “BL” or “Yaoi,” I prefer MLM🙏💕. It is important to understand that snowbaz are not “uwu gay boys” or “uwu yaoi boys.” Any more comments and messages expressing these harmful ideas will get hidden and removed. Fetishization is not ok. This is particularly disturbing since two out of the three pieces I’ve uploaded displayed minors, but they have received fetishistic reviews anyways from mainly adults.
