Why is it... (rant journal)

by CPCTail

Ok, so I have to ask this because I've been noticing it happening for quite a long while now and it really rubs me the wrong way.  I know I'm usually quiet and don't really spout out journals like this ( Hell I rarely do journals at all), but I feel I need to just get this off my chest.

So, I need to know... Why do people feel the need to point out that you didn't draw something with the "proper anatomy"?  What I mean by that is, say I draw a male cat, but I didn't give him the feline penis, I give him a humanoid one.  I know it's not a cat dick, I didn't want to draw a cat dick, so why do people feel the need to ask, suggest, demand or even go as far as edit a the picture to have the anatomy they want?  ( Just so you know, this hasn't happened to me, but I've seen it happen to others on multiple sites.  Including this one )

To give insight on where I'm coming from; I've been around this fandom since I was like...16 maybe, I dunno...  It's been a while.  In the past, people drew their thing, posted it, and people either liked it or they moved on to something else.  No real big deal you had a variety of everything.  Including a lot of some of the...stranger...stuff >.>... but either way it was there and if you liked it, cool, if you didn't, no big deal.

As far as I could tell, there wasn't a ton of people screaming at an artist just because he drew a kangaroo character without the balls being on top.

From what I can tell, people who draw roo characters seem to get this a lot.  I'm almost sure that if I spot a male kangaroo picture on a site ( This site, FA, e621, etc) and he:

*Has a humanoid dick
*Balls aren't on top
*Has a pouch
*All the above

Someone is going to flip about it.

Another example are female canines.  I've seen so many people saying things like " It'd be so much better with dog vag (Or dogina or fortune cookie vagina)".  This just really annoys the hell out of me.

Maybe the artist isn't interested in the proper anatomy?  Maybe said artist isn't turned on by looking at actual animal parts?  Maybe they just want to draw how they wanted to?

And that's kinda my whole deal here.  Why is it that an artist can't just draw whatever or however they want?  If someone wants to give a raccoon a dog dick with a huge throbbing knot, is it so hard just to let them do it without pointing out the obvious " Raccoon diks dun look like that".

Just...people.. let others draw what they want ok?  If the artist like what they include (or didn't include) on the character, at least try to respect that.  Because chances are, they didn't draw it for you anyway.

Because people feel their erections are more important and the artists HAVE to bend to their will "Or else" (witnessed this on a daily occurrence)

And if it aint a fetish thing, it cos they believe things should be as realistic as possible, ignorant to the fact that by making an anthro to begin with, isn't realistic at all.

@ Delquea

Almost curious what that "or else" would be, heh.

And I've actually heard the realistic excuse a few times. Which, like you stated, is an ignorant statement to make. But I've seen good pictures get blasted just because of these reasons

@ CPCTail

As I witnessed, the "or else" is basically an unnecessary block LOL

These days, people just can't handle what people like and seemingly needs a reason to complain about something, thinking people will stop doing what they do just for one person. Heck I even had a comment removed cos I told someone that its fantasy and isn't believable to begin with.

I agree to this... I dont see what the big deal with anatomy is... To me as long as I see a dick being drawn or pussy no matter what its acceptable. Now if your drawing someone else character and its a preference it becomes a diffrent story, but if its your own work then enjoy yourself

If people can't see what turns them on, they will flip out, which is annoying.
People should let the artist draw however they want, it's their art after all. If people commissioned them, it's because they like the art.

Yeah, a lot of people get like that. It's really annoying to me, too. Furries aren't real and there needs to be some suspension of disblief in order to really...enjoy yourself here.

I've seen many a time where people get bothered because of it is a humanoid penis, it's the 'cut' style with pisses some people off. Or when a furry character sweats, or heck, even when 'clothes chafe fur' kinda deal. I don't care about all that. They're human-like, not furry, not fully human. Different interpretations and art styles will dictate how the character's drawn.

Believe me, I get tons of shit for having Mavy not have a canine dick as a default. Really rustles their jimmies. x3

Oh god, the "cut vs uncut" arguments. Why...why is that a thing?

And that's what I'm talking about, Mavy is YOUR character, why do they feel they need to have a say on what he has or doesn't have?!

Because that's unfortunately the nature of the internet. The question becomes "Who are you to stifle my opinion" forgetting, of course, that if their opinion offers nothing constructive, then it's not really worth much.

it's just how some people are. Oppinions to some people are extremely important, and thus MUST state them whenever the option to do so arises.

Maybe the artist doesn't know they're doing it wrong? I mean, you might know how a kangaroo looks in general but not have looked too closely at their genitals. (A lot of people draw some weird Pokémon dicks, too… like they haven't seen one before!)

There's nothing wrong with an artist not looking to create an accurate rendition of a particular species - and they should not be harassed for doing so; but there's also nothing wrong with assuming that they made a mistake if they don't draw it accurately. If it's deliberate, say so. There's even keywords for it.

For me personally, more anatomically correct furries look nicer, especially canines with the sheath bound to their belly. But of course, I wouldn't complain about someone _not_ drawing it, it's your art so you're free to do whatever you want with it.

And as for dog female genitals... ew, put that away from me x3 (it can be made nice if the character themselves is cute enough, like

Chelsea

, but usually it just ends up looking incredibly ugly)

Kinda a tangent, but this all depends on where people fall into the "anthropomorphic scale." Some people like the more humanoid bits and parts, and others like it more realistic. Regardless, judging, critiquing, and calling out an artist just because they're not in the same region of the scale as you is kinda a scummy thing to do.

I'm sure these people are more than willing to accept a fursona of a neon-blue-furred German shepherd with pink ears, yellow pawpads, and a green tail, but if he doesn't have a "realistic"-style penis, look out! The whole fantasy is broken!

That's my point, it's fantasy. Fantasy with anthropomorphic animals. "Anthropomorphic" literally means "having humanoid characteristics." Why can't this apply to their private parts, as well?

The overwhelming response it seems is people wanna see the junk that tickles their pickles. And it's a mostly correct response.

Draw the stuff that makes you grin though. Draw for yourself first.
