Just think about it. The only reason I can think for why SBS mares can’t be milkbags is because of a lack of sexual maturity. Like, these fluffies have zero brains and really don’t understand pain the way a normal milk bag would. And all they do is eat and drink and suckle on stuff anyways so they wouldn’t mind being fed a hormone cocktail all day. And there wouldn’t be a need to take out their vocal chords/teeth either because They’re already defunct and all.
And then I got to thinking… isn’t the solution that milkbags are fed technically a hormone cocktail that might induce early sexual maturity and the production of breastmilk in someone who normally can’t produce it - such as an SBS female?
Like, I actually researched this and came across a medical study from 2018 of a trans woman who managed to successfully induce breastmilk production in order to feed her adopted infant. So it is a 100% possible for a human who normally shouldn’t be able to produce breastfeed under any circumstances to breastfeed under the right hormone therapy.
And like, if humans can do it then why can’t an SBS fluffy?
Because it would make the perfect plot for industrial sadbox.
Like, you know how leftist fucks nowadays accuse companies of ‘greenwashing’, which essentially means that the company pretends to care about environment/social justice while actually still using the same exploitative production method they’ve used for years?
I was thinking about writing something similar but with fluffies. Like, Hasbio sells these ‘ethical milkbags’ as an upgrade from the usual kind to appeal to hugboxers, when in reality they’re still selling the same old milkbags but using false marketing to make people believe that they’re getting the ethical sbs kind
i mean, im not sure if im confusing SBS with forever chirpies, but i thought SBS never reach sexual maturity ? so that would be hard starting from that
A sensitive baby is sensitive. A few headcanons depict that it feels its pain and all its needs at a higher rate than others but without the mental development to vocalize it outside of screeching. Hungry with no mother to fix? Scree. Tired but loud or bright? Scree. Lacking your expected comforts and regular routine and feeling anxiety? Scree. Scree. Scree. Never does it go to Wan Die. Never. Its agony of existence will always override the loop. It’s why it never fucking shuts up. Milkbagging, stuffing a tube down its throat, phantom pains in its stumps, having another tube up its ass and clamped gums at its teats would DEFINITELY be excruciating. Your headcanon can be that SBS are basically mentally dead and inert and unconscious, but there exists a better alternative.
Derpy fluffies. FwuffySadist’s Bubu probably would never notice you skinning it alive and salting the wounds, let alone milkbagging it.
EDIT: Denken’s point about SBSes not developing mammaries is also a big point in some headcanons. I know a FEW where they’ve been able to get the little freaks to fuck by feeding or injecting them with testosterone, but those are a few exceptions intended to be fucked up. Your better option is still smashing a fluffy over the head until it Derps.
The moment you put a sbs under meds and hormones, its body gonna build so much stress that it will explode.
So the success rate to make a sbs milkbag would be low to zero.
In the end, generally fluffies already suffers on their own a lot, then you take a physical and mentally disabled fluffy who suffers x2 times more and quadruplicate its suffering.
I think that all the effort that’d go into making an SBS milkbag would cost several times the money you’d earn from it. And then nobody would buy it because you’re asked “what makes it more humane?” and your only answer is “oh you know the special needs fluffies that cry inconsolably at any inconvenience and never mature past infancy? yeah we used those”.
There are similarities between forever chirpies and sensitive babies, with many headcanons portraying the former as an attempt to intentionally make the latter to sell to people who prefer chirpies to full-grown fluffies. To a lesser extent, there are some who have tried to create foals that remain at the started-talking stage for similar purposes (like the “Eternal Babbehs” picture that someone posted a while back).
But yeah, sensitive babies are usually portrayed as being very developmentally stunted. The only time I saw one that wasn’t like that was a joke post by love2hatefluffs: He's Just A Nerd (love2hatefluffs) - and even then I think it may not have been entirely the artist’s headcanon.
Well, there are plenty of obvious solutions to making milkbagging less cruel; it’s an inherently cruel and inefficient practice. The thing with milkbagging (and really any kind of industrial abuse, or if you wanna go that far a lot fluffy abuse in general) is that the whole point of it, metatextually, is that it’s something that’s both cruel and probably a pretty poor solution to whatever problem it’s trying to solve. From a doylist perspective, the needless cruelty is the point.
If you want to give milk to foals in a non-cruel way, the solution wouldn’t be “let’s milkbag something else”, it’d be “it’s probably not just easier but also cheaper to just set up a fluffy milk farm and partition milk accordingly instead of making expensive surgery meatballs prone to disease and health issues” or “let’s make an official partnership with a dairy plant where we take their lower-quality batches off their hands in exchange for a heavily discounted rate”. If you’d want to make a world or a situation where milk is provided cruelty free, you’d be missing the forest for the trees if you had anything milkbagged at all.
Exactly. It’s like saying “Hey, how can I make an Enfie Pal or Litter Pal morally justifiable? What’s the most humane and fluffy-friendly way to break its legs with a sorry stick?” when the correct (but boring) answer is not doing it at all.
Though, for those curious, stories already exist for methods that could be a “humane” (while fundamentally abusive) way of making milkbags, enfie pals, and litter pals: milkbagging an already nursing mare under heavy anesthesia and then removing every sense except for touch; injecting the chosen enfie pal with aphrodisiacs and LSD until nymphomania; and spraying the same flavor compounds in spaghetti and pasta sauce onto feces until it becomes an addiction.
Yeah I know that sensitive babies are sensitive at the root of it all but I actually think that gives the idea even more industrial sandbox potential.
Just think about it - Hasbio starts advertising sensitive babies as ‘too mentally stunted to feel pain’ when in reality they feel twice as much pain. So when they come out with these milkbagged sbs mares the hugbox crowd thinks that they’re changing for the better (however slightly) and they win brownie points with the sane non-abuser populace, when in reality they’re not and the sensitive babies are in constant torturous agony 24/7 so the abusers have the time of their fucking lives seeing this milkbagged mares squeal and chirp in pain all day.
But if they constantly chirp and cry in pain then you’ve gotta remove their vocal chords, otherwise people will know you’re a liar, so you’re not even saving money on that anymore. Which means the abusers won’t get to hear 'em and just need to assume it’s a real SBS instead of a scam. And oh man, I can just imagine the uproar as people who know SBS fluffs call 'em out on their lies and tell everyone what the real deal is, huge negative PR shitstorm.
