@karismatickitty moved her post, so here’s my response. This also got quite long, so more under the cut.

Did you just actually admit you wanted to create controversy by making your character underage and making her have a bunch of sex?

“i have never portrayed my muse’s character in a POSITIVE light when she engages in sexual acts with older partners.” Maybe not, but you sure have drawn some neat pinups of 17-year-old Kana, not portrayed in any dark or disturbing manner. Cute pink all around. You also seem to be pretty tongue in cheek about how sexual your character is, calling your main verse where she’s a teenager ‘juvenile pussy’. The tags on that drawing I just linked are also #sweats, #ur all going to jail with me, so I don’t think you’re as tasteful and deep as you’re calling yourself.

I haven’t gone so deep into your blog as to observe the ‘damage’ done, but considering your NSFW tag is mostly underage Kana, you do seem to do a decent amount of sexual content. Call it what you want, but when you’re depicting sex as explicit as you are (both consensual and non consensual) between minors, it falls under child pornography under U.S. law. Tumblr is a U.S.-hosted site, so even if you’re not in the U.S. that is still illegal. Considering you are 21+ and you have every opportunity to fade to black and not depict actual sex, I find that very shady.

I also can appreciate you noticed I care muchly about the sexualization of minors, seeing as I am one. I don’t like pulling this card, but let me do it now; I am a minor, and I am deeply uncomfortable with your sexualization of minors. I don’t commonly get into Tumblr Discourse™, but seeing as this was the perfect opportunity to call you on it, I shall do so now. I’m “arguing” with you on the matter to give you the opportunity to see other’s perspectives on the issue, and not just 700+ people who would happen to default to agreeing with you.

I agree that maybe I was in the wrong simply @ing you and not approaching you with it. Perhaps there was a more constructive way to address this big of an issue. Apologies for that little insult there, but it’s a pretty sensitive topic for me and several other people whom I happen to be acquainted with.

In conclusion, I agree that teenagers discuss and have sex, because (being a teenager) I know several teenagers myself. This does not make depicting it in such an explicit manner ethical, or even legal. There are ways to have a teenager discuss and be implied to engage in sexual activity without doing what you have done so far. Simply because one does not condone such manners in real life does not mean fiction does not have an effect on reality. Hell, if this wasn’t illegal to do, I probably would dismiss it. As it stands, I dislike the way you portray such things.
