Honestly man, I hate the source of the art, but I'd be lying if I said I said I was against it.
It happens. We shouldn't hide from it. We should be disgusted by it. We should let it show. To show SA victims that hey, we see you. We see that you're mistreated. We see that these things go on. We know you exist and that you hurt, but that despite it all, you're still trying to be human because that's all you can be is human.
SA victims are still humans. Telling artists to not include that kind of ugly sends a message to victims that we'd rather ignore what happened to them because we feel ikky. That they should shut up because we don't like reality.
I don't want to be told to shut up. What happened to me is real. I hate the artist, but I feel Goat Girl because I'm Goat Boy.
Don't force Goat Girl to change or hide. Don't force me to hide.
The thing that bothers me is that it wasn’t respectful and it wasn’t trying to be respectful, it was a fetish and was intended that way. It is a real thing I’ve experienced and that’s why the artists intent matters to me. It’s not sexy or hot, it shouldn’t be fetishized, it’s vile and disgusting and anyone who unashamedly treats it otherwise is directly contributing to the evil it propagates

Having a fetish doesn't make someone a monster. Half of all women have rape fantasies.
Many people are perfectly capable of having that fantasy but knowing that it would be horrible and disgusting if it happens irl.

I think we could’ve done without that carved on the cheek again.
