#anti objectification

Headmates are not fucking property.

They are not your silly little adoptable OCs. They are individual beings and deserve to be treated with respect.

You cannot just give away headmates like they're a possession you don't want. You cannot sell headmates. You cannot make headmates for other systems. No matter WHAT the intentions are, you do. Not. Treat headmates like objects. Genuinely what the fuck.

(this post does not apply to assisting other plurals' headmates in finding and exploring their identities, assisting another in creating a headmate of their own, or consensual system hopping. That's a different matter.)

I’ve always felt that way about specifically the nsfw side of the anthro community, but I’m also sex repulsed ace and just kinda get told to shut up about issues regarding nsfw in general because apparently i am bias </3 but the people who exclusively get off to animal behaviors/appearances (even humanized) are weird and predatory.

I never thought that much into sfw anthros disrespecting animals, but after going vegan and getting involved in activism I have been drawing a lot more just like,,, animals, and not humanized animals. Didnt really think of why, but now that Im considering it for more than like 30 seconds it definitely does feel like a respect thing. When you view animals as complex individuals on their own theres not much of a need to make them more human.

Although a lot of my old anthro art was more of a technical crutch honestly. Like, animal anatomy was difficult to draw, and I already knew how to draw humans. I think thats the case for a lot of newbie artists specifically, oftentimes its just easier from a skill level to draw humans figures, as thats the first thing most artists learn.

Thank you for responding btw :)
