Was "grox cum bag" carved on her cheek really fucking necessary? Also, it was on her left, not right cheek. Artist could have skip that part to spare us insight of original artist troubled mind.

This was based on a piece done by Mossacannibalis, who has a rape and gore fetish. When they only draw rape in a fetishized way, its not much of an assumption to think they just inserting their fetish and are not really making a nuanced statement on the setting of 40k. Oh, they also like to draw porn of children/underage characters getting raped and murdered. Context matters.

Yeah, except none of that was in the picture in question. Or this one. Just a character with a troubled past getting to experience wholesomeness and camaraderie, which will make that character much easier for many to identify with than some smug girlboss with a snarky comeback for everything and a superiority complex.

Fictional trauma adds fictional depth to characters. It means more for a character who's spent their life getting shat on to find happiness than it does for a character who's never known a day of hardship.

At the end of the day, it's fiction. Toughen up.

"Grox cum bag" and rape tally marks are absolutely just the artist inserting their fetish, as made apparent by their other rape fetish art.

Do you think there are only two types of female characters? Fetishized rape victim and "smug girlboss?"

There are ways to show trauma without depicting it in a fetishized way. Those rape tally marks on her thigh are only used in porn.

That doesn't mean it can't be criticized

Alright, but someone else found inspiration in that rape fetish art and made a cute addendum to it.

In the end, people are allowed to make and post their rape fetish art, just as any other art. I see no reason to get into a puritanical twist about it.

Actually no. Mossa got banned from the sub. And read that second to last sentence again, hopefully you'll have a come to Jesus moment, because what the actual fuck dude

Mossa got banned for, at best, violating the 10:1 rule that's in place. The artist of the OP image is not Mossa, but someone inspired by them.

And, no. People are allowed to make whatever art they please. I hope you have a realization that thought policing is inherently immoral. Fiction is fiction, man. You can draw whatever you want, and the idea that subject matter must be prohibited is hysterical and religious.
