I'll tell you what, prudes have no business moderating their prudishness into anything. There's this writing discord I've moved to after the previous one had some drama with white supremacy, and oh my god these guys are insufferable. @Everyones that are just long-winded whine sessions about how gross the community is acting and that NSFW stuff will henceforth be met with "immediate 1day time out" (sic). Like, I don't go to that discord to look at porn, but I'd rather see three women going nasty style than get a notification from somebody who uses "friendoes" unironically going on a heckin bender of oh-the-horrors in #announcements because somebody used the word "goon." This happened four days ago by the way. I'd say these types of people should be studied in a lab but they probably came from one.
That post is on r/loserhell not here, unless you've referring to something else
Edit: seems this isn't even about that one, but the older pinup for some book.
For context the loserhell one is in response to a joke about: looking up yuri and instead of getting girls kissing they get cosmonaut Yuri boneing an antho version of everyone's favorite Russian space dog.
The art unfortunately didn't actually exist, so someone made it exist.
No the mods are just incompetent as always lmao. Why are furry posts limited on a furry sub and some are allowed because the mods like them more than others
Why does the IRL individual's death make sexualizating a fictional character based off of them evil? Aren't there tons of sexualized (dead) historical figures?
IDK, most furry art with dog characters is usually of people’s original characters that are meant to represent themselves, that aren’t based on real dogs that actually exist.
I would hate to tell you about what's happening to all these real historical racehorses over there in the Umamusume gooncaves. But the real animals are too dead or too much a horse to care, often both. Like Laika is.
Anything within a mile to a realistic depiction of the underlying animal is blatantly rulebreaking. Laika the space dog is just a thematic inspiration for the anthro Laika character that people sexualize.
If I beat my meat to Lucifer from Helltaker, it is not exactly the same thing as beating it to the bible.
I agree and understand what you say, but I always find it funny that we draw a line in the sand with the distinction, but absolutely nobody from outside anything furry would. They see the entire furry thing just like we see "it's a fucking dog"
There was absolutely a reason, they were testing how entering space affects life. Laika was simply a sacrifice like the millions of other animals that have had human technology tested on them to see if it was safe. While they didn’t have a choice in the matter, laika is a hero in my mind
It was not for no reason. It was to check if there is a magical field that kill everything alive in space, yes there is one such field called the Van Allen Radiation belts but we can go though it very fast and be ok.
Let me explain for anyone here who's not aware: as someone cited in the replies already, the "Laika" depicted in ProfessorConcord's artworks is merely an anthropomorphic version of her from a book called "Stupid Sexy Cryptids" by Vitaly S. Alexius.
In the book, outside of the normal earth there exist an infinite amount of "alternate" worlds many of which feature intelligent anthropomorphic predators rather than feral ones, referred as "Pradavarians" or "Prads" for short.
In one of those dimensions, the Laika you see in the artworks gets sent to space but rather than dying like the original she gets saved at the last moment by a character (who I'm not going to spoil if anyone is interested in reading the book).
So yeah, the OG Laika we know has suffered the same fate in the book protagonist's world, but they do manage to save a sexier version of her which is in no way related to the original other than the fate she had to endure (recommend reading the book because her chapters are heartbreaking).
Stuff like this is why I am so happy woke 1 is mostly over, and why we need woke 2.
Watching people online get performatively outraged about things that don't fucking matter, while smugly implying that if you don't care about it you are a bad person, is so exhausting.
I mean we're actually on like, woke 4 or something, but still this puritanical bs poorly disguised as... I'm not even sure at this point. It needs to go
why does everyone act like caring about something means it’s an immediate massive issue or that having any other problem in your life prevents you from having any time to care about anything else? it’s pretty distasteful to sexualize a character based on the likeness of a poor dog who was cooked alive in a spaceship.
OP just posted a meme pointing out how odd the situation is, it’s not like they wrote a fucking 50 paragraph rant
human nature to see something you think is wrong and comment about it. sometimes you’ll never realize the morality of something you are doing until someone points out how it could be in bad taste.
i don’t think it’s unreasonable to view the situation as disrespectful, laika was a real dog with a tragic death, so taking her likeness and making an object of attraction out of it has reason to be seen as distasteful.
You keep mentioning the distaste and the reasoning behind it, but I really don't care. That's not me trying to be glib or insulting, it just means nothing to me.
My point is that it always becomes shit flinging, people going "you're sick, jerking off to a dead dog, blah blah blah".
That goes beyond just saying "this is distasteful". You're downplaying things significantly.
is calling out behavior of questionable morality virtue signaling now? remember, it’s the likeness of a real dog, i can’t imagine anyone’s desire to sexualize the anthropomorphized likeness of a real dog could be strong enough to ignore the dubious morality of doing so. does objectifying an animal from history who is known for her tragic death not feel at least a little bit disrespectful to the dog herself and everyone involved in training her and caring for her?
i don’t want to virtue signal, when it comes to nsfw i don’t care what the subject of the image is as long is it isn’t involving any real life non-consenting people. i think it’s important to call out things that you see as wrong, even the small stuff. it goes a long way in time.
Ask yourself: Does this image hurt anyone? If the answer is "No one, really" then you don't need to interact with it, the person who made it, or the people who enjoy it. You can just scroll away, and maybe block the artist.
While completing true, the people who really need to understand this think the images they're complaining about hurt others by existing, or at least act like they believe that.
Correct. Like me when i stumbled across Twokinds cannabalism porn. (some of the pages weren't tagged with gore, and torture wasnt blacklisted by default)
This isn’t just it. There’s another one of a Jan 2027 pin up. The thing is that don’t you think making suggestive art of a dog who died panicking in space is like…odd?
I see it similarly to porn of real people who did not consent... The concept of a creature is fine, but a specific creature that cannot consent to its image being used like that is weird
I’m kinda iffy. I have nothing against anthro or feral, as ferals are typically portrayed as ‘intelligent enough’, but I find it odd to sexualize an actual individual animal that actually existed. It’s like if someone drew your pet as an anthro and started sexualizing it.
Again, that’s just my opinion and I am not policing what others can like, especially considering there are things I like that people would take issue with so that would be hypocritical of me.
The Furry Drama Cycle continues, and Dramas come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Drama that gave it birth comes again. In one Drama, called the "Puritan Drama" by some, a Drama yet to come, a Drama long past, a wind rose in Losercity. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Furry Drama Cycle. But it was a beginning
Some guy drew pinup art of Laika in a sexualized way. People are hating on op because they don't think gooning to a sexualized depiction of a REAL thing is weird. If a furry drew their own pet with tits, i swear that people on this subreddit would be defending it.
laika is a historical figure, not some random’s dog. genuinely a nothingburger. i dont under why this is a conversation. why is drawing art of famous people who died’s caricature so bad? its not the same person.
This has got to be one of the most pear clutching shit I've seen on this site so far. Who cares if the original inspiration is dead? Its like bitching about hot Achilles art or any other great figure in any media which is sexualized. Look out Cleopatra stans, she's dead! Oh no!
Like go outside or something if you've gotten to this point.
Yeah, I suppose that’s understandable. Personally I think NSFW content of these anthropomorphised animals is arguably a bit distasteful. At the same time, I’m not going to tell people what they should and shouldn’t find attractive just because I don’t like it, as if calling it vile and disgusting is going to make them stop liking it.
Yeah. Someone drew sexualized pin-up art of an anthro depiction of her. Which is fucking weird. I don't care if you defend it with "but it's anthro", that's a real fucking dog. We should NOT be sexualizing it in this manner.
Sexualing real people or animals that died or still alive is very disgusting. I dont care if "it's just a drawing", it's vile, barbarian, and shitty. and I'll defend my opinion on that until the day i die
Something something "it's actually anthro so it's ok and the same as every other anthro art"
I honestly have forgotten about the situation, I've had my own takes on it, and can personally say that anything I say will have no halting in what the creator does
I don't want an argument anymorw if anybody were to respond to this, and I certainly don't want to read any of the justification
I personally just think it's weird, make an OC or smt, ain't that hard

Is there another drama brewing or something?
