What the fuck are you doing showing an 11 year old this shit? Don’t fuck around with showing a child fucked up stuff life this, I can’t believe this even has to be said.
In fact admitting you show this stuff to children should get you a one way ticket to Ban-ville.

@Thatmotherfluffer To second what @sexygoatgod said, I don’t think you should be showing a kid some of this content.
That said, I wouldn’t mind show a kid some of the more hugbox stuff, especially the stuff thats kid-friendly! I do recommend for instance the work of @Chikahiro and @littenstinymittens , among many others.

Finally, a reasonable response.
Just because they can deal with it doesn’t mean they should have to, for fuck’s sake. This whole affair should be adults-only.

At least you probably looked for it yourself. If someone brought it to you, they’d have been an asshole.

There’s a difference between stumbling upon something on your own and an adult feeding it to you.
Just because a child has been subjected to something inappropriate before does NOT make it right to continue to hand feed them more. It’s irresponsible and downright gross as an adult to do.
I also don’t think introducing them to the fandom at all is a good idea, unless you’re providing them sfw pictures on neutral ground, because this site is full of explicit, adult content and themes and putting a child in the situation where they can easily access them isn’t good either.
I wouldn’t want to subject my siblings to the dark side of this fandom, so I wouldn’t provide them a chance to OR directly usher them to it like what was done here.

“Show hugbox!”
I think it’s already too late for that.

Show my stuff too! Hearing about non-fluffy fans rections is always interesting!

Was gonna suggest showing some of Dragonixa’s works if she really wants to see some good drawing, but I’d say 11 is most likely way too young for me to be encouraging her exposure to gore.

I am not 100% on board with you showing this stuff to an 11 year old kid, but I played videogames since I was 4. By 11 I knew what Halo or CoD were. There was shooting and blood. Sure not as severe as fluffy abuse, but I won’t get on your case by acting “holier-than-thou”. Just try not to traumatize her I guess. Also I knew Carpidme was a safe bet :3

The sad thing is that, like it or not, kids are going to be exposed to this content, one way or the other. That being said, and while I do think Fluffycommunity specifically should be adults-only, I think certain aspects and elements of fluffies, especially hugbox, can be made palatable and even enriching for kids.

Its never too late. If it was too late, I would have given up on fluffies after discovering the fandom initially. While the culture shock of noticing the abuse, gore and violence is there, I also found a trove of engaging stories, especially from the non-abuse side. It was my interest in many fluffy characters created by people like Waggytail, Squeakyfriend, @Pinkyfluffy , Coalheart, @Carpdime and so on that got me to stay in the fandom. And with newer hugboxers coming in like @CookieCrunch and @Chikahiro , I think there is space to develop fluffies in a way outside of just pure shock content.
To me, hugbox is important, not only to balance the darker and violent sides of the fandom (which is arguably needed), but to give a more public face to the content, as well as to diversify and enrich it. I think this idea of purely thinking of fluffies as niche content and/or limiting enjoyment of it purely in a specific way (read: stress relief, anger management, etc) limits the attachment of value to the fandom and its characters, which is why people had dropped off over time. A personal belief of mine is that fluffy characters should be thought of in more ways beyond just abuse or simple hugging. And I think for that to happen, people need to start attaching more value to fluffy characters.

@Thatmotherfluffer Actually, and now that I think about it, I think you should get your little sister to read The Unicorn who flew:
This was the closest thing to a children’s bedtime story that I found the booru. And yes, this is a story I would show to little kids. Its the kind of content I’ve been looking for on the booru because people tend to focus on the edgy and shocking content, but forget that there’s also a lot of wholseome and engaging content.

This isn’t a matter of “hugbox is so important and appropriate” it’s a matter of someone deliberately bringing a child onto a site that hosts pornographic pictures and sexually charged gore. There’s no sfw alternative like in the booru days. Just because kids happen into here on their own does not mean we should be encouraging more of them to come into this space, specially as young as 11.
If she’s going to show her sister hugbox she should do it off site instead, then there’s a significantly lower risk of her seeing something she shouldn’t. Like, printing it off or downloading it to her computer.
There’s also plenty of media made FOR KIDS that she could be sharing with her sister instead of risking her finding the other essential component of the fandom. Sure, people make porn of kids shows too, but it’s not PART of the show.
I’m also not interested in an in depth conversation on what media is safe for a child to consume unfortunately. It’s obvious I stand by the classic “movie ratings” for sites as a whole, rather than by part. I don’t support children being on sites like FA either, even though they DO have a SFW mode. Just my opinion. -shrugs- Idk how this thread in general got past my block in the first place, but I’ll be muting it now that I’ve said my two cents.
