There has been a trend among producers of a certain politically inconvenient genre of art where they will try to pass off obviously underaged characters, but will say in the description that the characters as not "depicted" or "intended" to be underage.
My take on that is if you do that, you're a coward. Either age them up properly, or own it. Don't insult our intelligence by trying to pass off that bullshit.

I'm not even against cub art; I just want the artist to be honest about what they're doing.
