Yeah
Yeah, I am one of those.
Wanted to chime in.
I’m all for naughty words and controversial themes. For me, a warning at the beginning is nice but totally unnecessary. But thats just me.
Whenever i see or hear something outta pocket my main reaction is like Frank West’s laugh when he’s told a bomb was in the mall. But in an amused tone.

Bundle of Sticks…
It’s really not an insult if you look at it on its entomological roots…
But honestly I’d say the fluffy deserve such a name

A character in a story being prejudiced should never be taken as an assumption the writer is themselves. I have no idea where this idea has come from in recent years and it makes no logical sense to me. Not everything someone writes is a 1:1 representation of their own views. And so long as it’s a work of fiction and not a non-fictional treatise on why everyone who isn’t exactly like the author should be second class citizens or put in camps, their artistic freedom should not be hampered by concerns of offending others, much less having people think their most despicable characters are supposed to represent their own morality.
There are plenty of perfectly good reasons to depict this sort of material in your work. To characterize an abuser. To create pathos in the kind of story where they see repercussions for their actions. To add all-too-realistic flaws to a character that create depth and foreshadow or align with their backstory. To set up personal growth and development. To establish an oppressive atmosphere in the very literal sense. I could go on but you get the idea.

not what im referring to
big difference between a brown fluffy feral trying to survive in the deep south and getting called the n word left and right & an author being like “this fluffy is brown so his name is lil n***r heehee”
Can’t see much of a difference, you’re assuming it’s the author’s views/sense of humor and not what makes sense in the context of the story for whoever named him.
Nonetheless, agree to disagree I suppose.

What’s wrong with naming a brown fluffy Lil Nigger? That’s like saying I’m a bad person for naming a rainbow fluffy Faggles McQueer. I thought this was America, dammit!

As long as it’s the fluffy being abused just about anything goes.

you keep going back to there being a character in a story. i am not referring to a story.
The point is seperation of art and artist. It’s great where it fits and lets you ignore some nonesense moral conundrum like “should a painting be less beautiful if its by hitler?” Beauty, while subjective, has abject qualities not removed by context. I’ve shown plenty of work from here to friends that got the reaction of “That’s some really good art! If only it wasn’t fucking fluffies.” Sure sometimes you have to take a hard look at if there may be some ulterior motive to their contributions like modifying character designs to their specifications, writing in an awkward and uncomfortably long anal sex scene, and designing a perfect 1 to 1 recreation of themselves named dr. Uckman to take the other spot in the scene. But more often than not the intent is to create a character and slot them into a story.

y’all are still on about a story. im not talking about a story!
imagine someone posts a picture of a brown fluffy and the title is “his name is n__r because he’s a n__r fluffy” and that’s it. no story, no context, nothing. one might reasonably assume the artist does not think highly of brown-skinned individuals, even if they didn’t intend to come across that way.
that’s it. there’s no more to it than that. y’all are overthinking fr
Despite being minimal that is a character. There may not be much story but post like that imply story and try to spark new ideas in the community. Why is the fluffy named nigger? Who named him that? How does this affect his life? Are there any consequences for this? Maybe even fringe ideas like how does this character affect other fluffies? Does their behavior change from associating the word with the undesirable shit colored fluffy?

and then there may be none of that, in the sense that the creator did not create with the intention of there being any of that.
