I don't have the original comment, but it went something like this,\n\n'This drawing looks pedophilic, but it's very cute!'\n\n...Hard to parse, no? ^^\n\nMy answer of 'no', I feel, is solid, yet contestable if one applies technicalities.\n\nARE MY ADULT CHARACTERS ATTRACTED TO TIMMY/GENE?\n\nThe facts are some of my female *characters are attracted to Timmy and Gene, respectively. But is the attraction sexual?\n\n*almost all my characters are cubs ...which is a VERY important consideration\n\n...They 'crush' on Timmy, sure, but (again) crushes and 'puppy love' don't (necessarily) imply a desire for sex ...at least not in my mind.\n\nI've made it quite clear that my characters don't have sex, but they do get very close---intimately so ...let's consider some things.\n\nFirst, is Timmy even a kid?\n\n...Yes and no. Timmy has the form of an eight-year-old boy, but this is simply Timmy's form---Timmy is neither a child NOR an adult---Timmy has always looked (and always will look) exactly as he does now.\n\nSo, no, Timmy isn't a 'kid', but he still looks like one, and some of my characters find Timmy attractive. What do you do with that?\n\nFor one, 'intent' must be considered here: what do the characters want to do with Timmy?\n\nSome want to eat and/or torment Timmy (eg, the wolves/fox sisters), and others want to 'cuddle' with him (eg, the skunk, Ribbon and Ball, etc).\n\nI intentionally keep 'cuddling' ambiguous---I don't describe it in my stories, mostly to allow my watchers some imagination (imagination is important to me, and I extend it to all of you).\nSuffice it to say, 'cuddling' would entail physical closeness, and considering my characters aren't particularly shy or sensitive, they wouldn't 'avoid' anything.\n\nThat said, the characters in my Timmy stories are figments existing in Timmy's virtual-reality ('mind/imagination' in which Timmy is forever immersed). Consequently, the characters cannot do or even think to do anything to Timmy that Timmy cannot think of ...and since Timmy incarnates Innocence, Timmy doesn't know what 'sex' is.\nTimmy does know that girls like boys, and Timmy is aware that he is a 'boy', hence Timmy 'expects' (ie, 'imagines') the female characters in his world think he's cute. ^^\nObversely, Timmy knows boys like girls, yet knowing something and internalizing/genuinely 'feeling' something are very different things ...which is why Timmy doesn't usually reciprocate the affections of the female characters.\n\nNow, in fairness, I must say that while Timmy is ignorant of sex, he is aware he has bits, and he knows they can 'feel good'. Even so, Timmy doesn't 'seek' pleasure in the way an adult would---that sort of experience just comes incidentally (the same applies to Gene).\n\nTIMMY THINKS AS A KID, SO DOESN'T THAT TECHNICALLY MAKE TIMMY A KID?\n\nContestable. My answer is Timmy exists by himself---everything that goes on in his world is at least somewhat made by and controlled by him ...and (again) the characters cannot think of anything or know anything that Timmy cannot/doesn't.\nAdditionally, with the above being true, the 'adult' characters in Timmy's world think on the same level as Timmy ...which would technically make them cubs, too.\n\nIS TIMMY ATTRACTED TO RIBBON AND BALL?\n\nTimmy likes Pokemon and *pets ...so yes, but not 'sexually'.\n\n*note that Ribbon and Ball never talk---Timmy thinks of them as pets, but not the 'inferior' or subservient sort, as we might consider our pet dogs, etc. It just so happens Timmy's 'pets' like to pet Timmy back. ^^;\n\nWHAT ABOUT THE ANIMALS WHO TALK, SUCH AS THE SKUNK?\n\nThe skunk likes Timmy because Timmy hasn't a nose---the skunk knows Timmy cannot smell her (like the other animals can), hence the skunk goes after Timmy, for affection.\n\nIt has been canonically established that the skunk thinks Timmy is 'cute', but her interest is mostly opportunistic rather than one of real attraction.\n\nARE THE PIKACHU AND THE SKUNK ADULTS?\n\nRibbon and Ball are Pikachu (as opposed to Pichu), so yes for them. The skunk has no defined age. The fox sisters are cubs, as are most of the wolves.\nThe only objectively 'adult' characters in Timmy stories are 'Mama' types: Mama Wolf/Fox, Mama Dragon, etc.\n\nGENE AND BROWN BUNNIE...\n\nGene and Brown Bunnie, both are the same age---there's nothing unexpected or wrong there.\nThat said, Gene and Brown Bunnie exist in a 'real world'. True: Gene has a figment form in Timmy's world, but not Brown Bunnie (yet, anyway). :3\n\nBunnie is 'curious'---Gene hasn't caught up with her yet. ^^\n\nAdult characters in Gene stories don't find Gene attractive.\n\nAM I A PEDOPHILE?\n\nNo. Granted, I did wonder about this way back in 2014. I've long ago determined that I am not---my art helped me to understand this. Ultimately, where 'cub' is concerned, I am 'attracted' to my own ideas and concepts, rather than those of others (which means my cub art and my interests therein are narcissistic---they are driven towards ME and not extended to others ...and it's not the cubs, but the concepts I find appealing).\n\nMY THOUGHTS ON PEDOPHILES...\n\nI cannot and will not judge those who don't act on it. I extend heart to them---those who want help often can't get it, even if they risk asking for it. Society just hasn't evolved to the point where it can recognize those with this orientation as human---they bleed like everyone else and often have the same morals, standards and desire to function in society as those who lable them as 'monsters'.\n\nIt's one of those rare, difficult circumstances. :(\n\nAnyway, I just wanted something to write about, and this seemed as good a topic as any. :3\n","description_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>ARE MY CHARACTERS PEDOPHILES?<br /><br />Short answer: No<br /><br />Long answer: ...see below<br /><br />I&#039;ve never been asked this in all the years I&#039;ve been making Timmy art (which for those not keeping score, has been around five years, as of writing).<br /><br />The closest anyone has ever come to accusing me/my characters of this was in a very interesting comment I received from a non-watcher from DA.
