The only pervert here is you

[spark]

I was under the impression that the people who intended to do naughty things to your plush creations were the ones who asked you to make a "puppet." (I remember that one customer you had who suspiciously wanted a hole in the plush that fit the exact dimensions of a fleshlight.)

I'm with you on this one - if they intend to do that stuff, DON'T TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT.

You're thinking of somebody else, I've never had anybody ask for a suspicious puppet. In fact I've VERY rarely had anybody be perverted at me about this stuff at all. Just on the rare occasions when it does happen I just have to share the pain.

Spark, given you make My Little Pony plushies, it's possible the commenter had heard about the infamous Lyra plushie (to everyone else: you don't want to know), and assumed all custom plushies for MLP were like that. A stupid assumption all the same.

Honestly that the Lyra plush exists doesn't bother me in the least. When I saw it my reaction was to laugh. I am not lying when I say I don't care what people get up to with this stuff! If plush love is your thing, have fun!

But making judgmental assumptions about other people is never cool, and it gets under my skin in a way that even the customers who flat-out are perverts at me don't.

And if I went any further about it I'd be getting into fratching territory, so I'll stop there.

(And also yes, since I do sell many of these toys to children, having that kind of crap on the comments of my stuff is uncool, so even if it didn't bother me personally I'd still be deleting this nonsense.)

The surest way to get people to Google something is to make a "You really don't want to know" declaration about it. That was how I was tempted to Google "goatse" (and if you don't know what that is, trust me: you really, really, really don't want to know).

The Lyra plush honestly didn't surprise me at all.

That was how I was tempted to Google "goatse" (and if you don't know what that is, trust me: you really, really, really don't want to know).

I was tricked into clicking on a link to it many, many years ago. No matter how much brain bleach I use I still cannot get it entirely out of my head (I think a friend of mine retaliated against the person who did it with something so bad she refused to tell me what it was).

[spark]

I've never seen goatse. I witnessed a few attempts to get people to click a link it, and waited for somebody *else* to go first and find out, and then witnessed their reaction, so I know what it is, but I've still never actually seen it.

I've known about that place for, gah, 10 years? Not sure, really. And I have never, EVER looked it up. I know what it's about. Same as tubgirl, or 2girls1cup, but I don't have to live with the visuals in my head, thank the cosmos. There is a long, long list of sites I have been warned never to visit, and most of them I have no intention of ever looking at. Do not want to see. At all. Ever.

So I'm going to go watch Harold & Kumar, because I really need to stop thinking about this stuff for a while.

Re: goatse and similar mind-bad pictures.

"Harlequin fetus" is another one. Back when I did a sprite-comic, our resident "beating stick" character (who more or less existed solely to kill and him in comedic and violent ways) was tortured once by forcing him to look at a picture of that. I did not include the picture in the comic, but did warn people "Do NOT look for that picture."

Of course I had people give me grief about it.

I have never seen 2g1c or tubgirl; based on vague descriptions I have an idea of what they are, but not enough to give me the actual image (for which I am eternally grateful).

[morgana]

Still don't know what goatse is. Ain't gonna go find out, neither. Might be interested in a clue, but I can live without it.

Heard enough about 2girls1cup; I'll pass, thanks.

Got conned into checking out tubgirl. The con artist paid dearly for that.

Goatse is a display of a particular fetish that nobody without that interest (or without a medical interest) would ever want to see.

None of that stuff bothers me. Eh, whatever, shrug and move on.

Fetish? What fetish? I saw it before, so I know what it is, but it's a fetish? WTF?

Consider yourself lucky . . .let's just say that she makes everything XXX rated look tame by comparison and leave it at that, okay?

And don't google goaste either . . . . not quite as bad as Tubgirl but pretty damned close.
