Miorjah’s content has always leaned heavily into tradwife and red pill content, and I think it’s worth looking at the kind of audience that will naturally attract.
People have already discussed how irresponsible it was for Miorjah to post noncon/dubcon content for years without properly tagging it, while simultaneously posting under tags used by minors like #princess and #unicorn. But beyond that, I think their work very intentionally appeals to rightwing/red pill furries.
There is nothing inherently progressive or queer about the content Miorjah makes. At its core, it revolves around an aggressively heterosexual dynamic of a dominant masculine man, a submissive wife, virginity, breeding, pregnancy and domesticity. Even if the creator themselves identifies as queer, that does not automatically make the content queer in practice, nor does it make the surrounding community safe for queer people. A creator having one or two queer side characters doesn't mean shit either.
To clarify, this is not me agreeing with Harmony’s racist “fur color = race” argument. Assigning real-world races to anthro characters based solely on fur color is racist. But coding is real, and Miorjah’s writing repeatedly reinforces whiteness as a literal in-universe beauty ideal. White fur is framed as purity, desirability, femininity, status, and worth across multiple cultures within their lore. Fenris is explicitly written to fetishize white-furred women. Entire plotlines revolve around protecting, valuing, and reproducing whiteness.
They have spent years writing a world where whiteness is treated as sacred, and their fandom mirrors those values socially. There is a reason the community became obsessed with making white unicorns, the in-universe hierarchy bled directly into the fandom. Miorjah has a fandom, the princessfur community is their fandom. A huge amount of the trends popular in the community now were either directly started by Miorjah or popularized through their work. People found their content, became obsessed with it, and started mass-producing the same archetype over and over again. White princess unicorn OCs, purity aesthetics, BDSM collars and cuffs, submissive behavior tied to femininity, breeding, pregnancy and heterosexual characters. That didn’t happen in a vacuum and that is the culture their work cultivated. It is not lost on me or others that the fandom built around those aesthetics is overwhelmingly white, cisgender, and straight.
Creators are responsible for the communities they cultivate. If your audience becomes full of reactionaries, tradwife fetishists, racists, or red pill weirdos, at some point you need to ask why your content resonates so strongly with those groups in the first place. You do not get to profit off an audience while pretending you have zero responsibility for the rhetoric you reinforce. It is a content creator's job to manage the audience that they are building and a creator is 100% responsible for their content being used as a vehicle for bigotry.
When the core fantasy being sold revolves around whiteness, submissive womanhood, and idealized heterosexual domesticity, you are going to attract a very specific audience. At some point you cannot separate the creator from the community they intentionally fostered and still profit from.
This is well worded, anon, thank you for sending this in. I want to use your ask to expand on the white fur, especially because Miorjah has dismissed criticism with the excuse that it’s “just white fur on a furry.” Despite how Miorjah has already made it very clear through their own writing that specific species, traits, and fur colors are meant to parallel real-world marginalized communities. WIthin their own writing, multiple queens of the unicorn kingdom are explicitly designed with white fur, and this is emphasized in their writing, artwork, socials and on Miorjah’s wix site. White fur is directly associated with stronger magic and historical importance. Miorjah the character is given importance in the story because of her white fur and because she is the first white baby born in years.
Across several of Miorjah’s fictional cultures, white fur is treated as something significant, powerful, feared, or “other.”
In wulfheim lore for example, albino or white furred predators are associated with the dragur king, a curse tied to death and supernatural power. White furred characters are described as potentially not “fully alive,” feared by society, ostracized, or viewed as descendants of a divine or cursed figure. Meanwhile, white prey animals are associated with goddesses, the moon, and mysticism instead. Whiteness is consistently framed as rare, supernatural, and important.
At the same time, many of the characters occupying positions of power also have white fur or feathers. The secondary love interest and their family have white fur. Multiple duchess characters have white fur or white plumage. Historical rulers are white, powerful magical figures are white.
