Hey if I got off to it, I’d probably feel like shit afterwards, even though I gotta make big cums somehow. That’s what stops people from making fetish porn part of their public personas.

It’s not you, I’m just riding an unhealthy train if thought.

I’ve never really felt that way. I see the whole ‘fluffy’ thing as a creative outlet for gorehounds. It’s the same reason people watch Happy Tree Friends or write shitty creepypasta about kid shows.
Every fandom has it. ‘Whump’ is its entire own genre. (A fanfiction/fandom trope where a character is put in distressing situations (like losing a limb, getting in a car accident, getting mugged, etc) just and entirely for fuck of it)
About actual characters in stories, I always felt it was a copout. It might be easier to pretend that someone is a good person who just beats fluffies for fun but it’s certainly not as interesting as a character who hurts fluffies and hates themselves for it, or a character who hurts fluffies and loves it or a character who is just so burnt out that they’ve stopped caring.

Not gonna lie fluffy media is addicting as shit to me. Which might be a factor about why I feel occasional disgust towards it.

it fluctuates. Theres days where I just think about everything cute, violent, and weird I’ve seen and made on here and I just have a good time with it, but then there’s times where I’m like, “Why?!”
I’ve learned to ride the rollercoaster. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it.

then stop trying to find deeper meaning to fluffys and just enjoy them like you do horror movies or disaster movies

It’s not like that the closest I can describe it is that feeling where you masturbate to weird porn and then feel really gross afterwards without the horniness. Like oh my god I fucking enjoy this, yet I also hate it.

Also le violent cute cartoon metaphor really doesn’t work with fluffies, most non moronbox violence isn’t really that comedic. As well as the aformentioned high amount of self insertion in the comments. Not that that’s bad just that it’s not really comparable. Plus there’s a difference between cute things killing each other and a stand in for the author killing cute things.
Which are occasionally made to be as vile as possible with the exception of it’s most downtrodden members.

that’s why I said horror and disaster movies they are centered around death and violence do you feel like a noughty boy after watching them do you think you just look into the true heart of the people who made it

No, because there’s a level of detachment in them not found in most fluffy media. I don’t wish to be unnamed Giallo Killer #76 or even Herbert West, I just find the narratives compelling and entertaining. Fluffies on the other hand are something I could very easily kill, if they were real. I can’t expect to kill Jennifer Corvino and Kurt Russel but I could very easily crush a shitrat with my foot.

ah so it’s not a fluffy media problem but a you problem you empathize whit the abusers and feel that could be you if given a chance

Sort of, or at least they’re made very easy to empathize with especially with “justified” abuse to behaviors we find abhorrent but fluffies can’t help. Like originally I was just sorta in it for arcane bullshit like why fluffies stack blocks and whether they imagine structures, how the burrow, if they instinctually make nests even if they’re domestic. That’s the shit that interested me originally was just trying to find out how they worked, but then a lot of stuff that goes into that is abuse and it just feels worrying I’m growing so numb and I’m supposed to self insert.

don’t know what to tell you , you are not supposed to feel empathy for the abusers they are the villainous the “justified” is just their excuse not their validation that what they are doing is right

I don’t know, I don’t take this seriously anymore. As long as people are self-aware of what they’re doing, it’s fine by me.

Fluffies are so “wrong” on a philosophical level that abusers apply an inverted code of ethics to them: their very nature is insincere and manipulative, and so the only way to interact with them in a way that cannot possibly suggest ulterior motives is pure violence. Insincerity met with honest bloodlust.
Fluffies are not just unnatural: they are a living juxtaposition to all that we admire about nature. So abusers feel that their existence is an insult to their intelligence, and must be dealt with accordingly.
All monsters are reflections of human vice. But what makes fluffies uniquely detestable is that they engage in all the shit we humans do, from rape to environmental destruction, and expect us to reward them for their existence. That, along with the concepts I have attached to them, has made me think of them as anti-animals and anti-humans, which is probably why abusers treat them the opposite of how they would treat, well, a stray cat.
They don’t think of them as living entities, but instead personifications of their worst traits. They’re symbolically “killing” images of their own perversion, greed, and childishness.
The world of fiction is a macrocosm where the human self is reflected through its parts, and fluffies are but a reflection of the id.
Thanks for listening to me play armchair psychologist.

Not at all. It’s not the healthiest thing to have discovered and enjoyed but I don’t care.
