Seeing This Reminded Me Of The Time I Went On To AO3 (Never Doing That Again) And I Accidentally Clicked

Seeing this reminded me of the time I went on to AO3 (Never doing that again) and I accidentally clicked on a smut story of Mae and Bea. I lowkey just wanted cute lesbians with a side of angst, but instead I got Bea literally SAing Mae. (I am never trusting anything from that site anymore)

Okay so very small rant but does it bother anyone else when you see someone's really fleshed out fursona main character they use go from a complex character with so many interesting things about them to a generic sex object? Because that bothers me.

Like - I am very much not sex-negative, that's obvious. But it's sad to me. That they had an interesting character of their own, and they threw that out to be *generic*. To be boring. To not be Of Themselves.

It's like obliterating a person. Or hollowing them out. I feel the same way about characters who get uwu-ified, or made to just edgy. But I don't see that as much as I see this. There's no personal character interacting with sexuality in a way that only they can, there's just... Nothing.

They have become an effigy of themselves. A cruel simulacrum that walks and talks, but there is nothing. It is there only to remind you that there was once something there.
