It is just the nature of the beast (so to speak) that if you hang out in furry art circles, you see a lot of strange stuff. Lots of young people working out their problems and/or their kinks in a relatively safe anonymized space = art drawn while down mental rabbit-holes.
And, y'know, that's fine. As long as it isn't cruel and doesn't promote bigotry, as long as everybody involved is having a good time... I don't have a beef with it. Much of it is not my bag—I love me some cute fanservice but I'm generally not a fan of straight-up raunch—but in the words of Egg Chen, it's like a salad bar: take what you like and leave the rest.
But sometimes... once in a while... I am confronted with a piece that just makes me stop and go "...Buh?" Sometimes it's a case of "Bodies don't work that way!" (um, just because secretions come from there doesn't make it an orifice), sometimes it's "Why the heck would you get into this???" Occasionally it's "CAN WE PLEASE GET OFF (insert fad that annoys me here)".
I generally keep my thoughts to myself when this happens; I'm not judgey, just confused. But still. What the heck. XD
And yes, this was prompted by a piece of art that crossed my path on social media this morning. XD
