Drawing pornagraphic images of children as a CSA survivor is not coping in the slightest, it only serves as a conduit to retraumatize the individual or enable the stereotypical cycle of victim to perpetrator. I feel honestly offended to find out one of the people that I almost saw as a trustworthy source of information to be just as full of shit and morally bankrupt as Tearzah and Stwawbwewy.As far as I've heard, and don't quote me on this; drawing and writing is an okay way to cope with trauma... if it's fucking kept to yourself and isn't romanticized. There's a sliver of truth to coping when you have power in the scenario, but it is usually not encouraged by therapists to fucking draw children in porn.
It's exactly as bad as tearzah. mutuals and fans of theirs claimed it was coping with abuse but that isn't coping. coping isn't hearts, sparkles, pink, kawaii creepy shit. it's like vent art. it's dark, its a way to express your feelings and experiences in a way that doesn't hurt you or anyone else (hence the keeping it to yourself). It's extremely disheartening to see someone who was so respected under a thread like tearzahs turn out to be just as bad.
In a therapeutic setting the ideal is to be able to open up about the trauma that is causing these thoughts, and understand there is a reason for them but it is not acceptable behavior; To deroot the trauma, stabilize oneself, and to yknow, be fucking normal again. Even in art therapy these things are not to be praised, the image may be conjured, examined, but should be shunned, to see it as something bad to able take out of one's mind and personality, to destroy it. Brooding over a traumatic event to the point of 'intrusive thoughts' is one thing, but to claim fetish play with a child character is coping is like calling a steaming pile of shit a shiny ripe fruit. These types of images can also be kept to oneself, to vent, but the moment it is posted publicly, framed as erotic, inserted with fetishes. It is not coping, it is morally bankrupt sexual fantasy under the guise of funny buzzwords.
Trauma mastery involves revisiting sites of trauma and reliving the moments, preferably in a controlled manner that has a POSITIVE OUTCOME. Usually the positive outcome in this situation is, oh, I don't know, not drawing a child getting raped? Perhaps, not indulging in the fantasy of pedophiles by roleplaying a child? Drawing and roleplaying an infantile character getting molested and impregnated is not vent art, not when you frame it as erotic and fill it with fetishes, and post it publicly knowing full well who is consuming that content- you should be ashamed of yourself. The only thing you're doing is participating in a circlejerk of people getting off to little kids being drawn sexually because you're too retarded to realize you should feel shame and remorse for sexual thoughts about children, CSA victim or not.I did use this site for rp several years ago, but with other characters, not this one. The purpose of that character is safe Trauma Mastery so having only half control over a scenario is counterintuitive or even dangerous. You especially can't relinquish that control when the site now crawls with #MAPPride accounts that site staff refuses to ban.
