My personal thoughts on the matter are as follows:
 
As long as it’s not real, whose it hurting?
 
There is a fine line between fantasy and reality, as long as you never cross that line(aka sticking to art), I see no harm in drawing or viewing foalcon.
 
The one thing that annoys me above all else is when people scream “pedophile” or if an uploader innocently forgets to tag it they MAKE A HUGE POINT to remark how disgusted they are about it instead of just adding the tag and moving on.
 
And before people start throwing definitions at me, let me stop there because definitions apply to real things, a fictional character on your PC monitor on a piece of paper is just that, a fictional character.
 
So…Discuss?

I would rather it not exist, but it does, and given it’s drawn fictional characters I have no reason to do anything than privately not like it.

I don’t care. Foalcon, or any loli/shota/cub in general is not my thing (but I make exceptions to certain characters, for the character, not their age).
 
I dunno when someone makes a pretty straightforward porn parody of an underage character, it;s hard to really see that character as underage, it’s appeal to how much people like the character or with human/anthro, the petite body type. So I really don’t think it’s a big deal regardless of where we’re at with who.
 
Maybe if it’s more explicit pedophillic themes, like realistic rape depiction, or having the character respond in character and reaistically and not in a porny way, or day I say, going into the toddlercon stuff, that’s just overboard entirely and I am not okay with it, because there’s only one reason you’d like that, you want to fuck a kid.

Very much depraved and morally bankrupt. Though I don’t think that makes foalcon an inherently morally reprehensible thing to draw.

eh, kind of bad I suppose. it’s not the great dilemma of our time that people like to make it out to be. not any worse than grimdark or gore. can be hilarious in the right context.

Why the hell are we even talking about this? Does anyone really think something new is going to be said?  
Although I’d be interested to hear what else TSP doesn’t want to exist.
 
But since I should probably at least try to respond on topic: you’re fapping to innocent cartoon pastel horses, but there’s something wrong with fapping to slightly smaller innocent cartoon pastel horses?  
Sounds like a strange lack of perspective there.

Frankly, I expected some closed-minded idiot to come waltzing in here and ranting about me being a sicko or something. Guess they avoid the forums which says a lot about where they hang out.

Marmite.
 
And for me it morally comes down to “would this character be mentally mature enough for this sort of situation”. Some (many) look into porn for more than just the image and raw anatomy/action, and try to gleam what the situation is, what the characters are thinking/feeling, etc. It’s the old “story is important in porn” vs. “it’s just porn!” argument that will never be settled.

Give it time…

I’ve seen a lot of really stupid people on the forums and a lot of smart people stick to the image comments… Forums tend to be where more long-time users end up when they’re waiting for more images and have nothing better to do.

But the characterization and emotions are what makes foalcon so damn adorable.  
I mean, just look at everything Slightlyshade does, and >>348886 in particular.
 
Re. stupid: I come on here every so often with the intention of starting some art chat. Usually end up just staring at the screen for ten minutes before going back to drawing. Guess that’s pretty stupid.
 
Also, I knew you were a heathen, but not liking marmite? God damn.
