Furry Fandom and Drama General

It must be pretty disheartening for an aspiring artist to think he's finally getting his art up in a real art gallery only to turn up and see his work next to furry inflation porn.
I have seen and experienced worse, but hell, it you're there to sell, then who cares. Being ugly Betty between two extremely ugly Bettys it a pro.

At least he didn't do that mess on canvas.

Certainly would. I wouldn't want to be that person.

Oh my god, I thought this had to be a gag dub or edit.
Apparently it happened. Here's more from other years!

I kinda wish I could post the most fucked up Furry art i've ever seen, but I really don't want all the Islamic content ratings or banning:(
That's OK, I'm sure I know what you're talking about.

Dammit Jim, I said artistic nudes, not autistic nudes!

I think this is one of those cases where an attempt to be tolerant, accepting, and all-inclusive has backfired hilariously.

I can just imagine the gallery hosts putting up flyers for their open art night, only to have this fatty show up with his stack of porn. And the gallery owners can't say a thing about it because he's technically not breaking the rules. Plus I'm sure their hands are tied because they don't want to look insensitive, after all, he's disabled (autistic), a person of color, and has his mother fighting his battles for him.
I can only hope they stuffed him in the darkest, hardest to reach part of the gallery.

Nowadays, especially in America, very few good artists who are looking to break in really put their art in traditional art galleries
Instead they now work in industry, take commissions and put their art on sites like artstation

American art galleries are now for modern art "THROW SOME PISS AT A CANVAS WITH A PICTURE OF BUSH GLUED ON TO IT WITH GLUTEN FREE SUPERGLUE" type shit
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really don't get some of this fetish shit... at all! Inflation is the probably the most mystifying to me. I can't see how there is even remotely anything sexy about it. I will say, an it's only anecdotal evidence here, but it seems to me the people who are apparently into that shit all seem to be overweight themselves. Is that the connection, or is there something else I'm missing?

Looking for a mate they won't crush, maybe?

The short answer is, as always, :autism:. The long answer is much more complicated (but no less autistic).

*cracks knuckles* Aight, lemme see if I can't break down this mystery and make that piece of shit psych degree useful for once.

First, you gotta know the different kinds of inflation. There's the air-based inflation (that our resident Dobson is so fond of), your standard fat-based inflation, and sexual fluid inflation are your main types. Various subtypes will manifest under these main three, such as the blueberry phenomenon or specific bodypart inflation (tits and ass, etc.).

While at first glance it seems that the reasons for the fetish are tied to the subject being an being an overweight outcast and thus trying to love their body (kind of like Fat Acceptance but somehow so much less obnoxious), and no doubt there's probably some of that going on, knowing each of the subtypes means knowing the different reasons that more typically tickles their fetishist's pickle.

(Note that there are often even more fetishes that intersect with inflation, such as hyper, crushing, stuffing, vore, and giantism, but those are all whole different kettles of fish on their own and I'm not going into the psychology of every deviant fuckup or we'll be here all day.)

-Air inflation: This one is almost always tied to cartoon physics and more 'toon'-obsessed furs. This is where you'll most frequently find the legit 'tism; as an obsession with the cartoons of their youth crosses with some burgeoning sexual wires in the brain, and...well. Weird shit happens, often with bicycle pumps. To them, they get their jollies imagining being filled or filling someone/something with air until it floats away, or even more likely, pops. You will also frequently see hose/water-based inflationists among this subgroup, but they're far less common and their goal is not popping so much as filling someone until they are 'leaking' (and you don't wanna know from where).

-Fat inflation: The most common type, this is where you get your standard character ballooning up through eating copious amounts of food phenomenon. These types are typically seeking some kind of comfort from their fetish. Fatness is equated with softness and 'cuddly' aspects; with having 'more to love.' You'll find a lot of projection in these fetishists, with feederism/feedee relationships running rampant (in which they want their partner to be so fat as to be dependent on them OR want to become fat themselves so they can have that 'nurturing' caretaker). This is also, unfortunately, where you'll also find slobfurs who revel in the fatness as a side-effect of living like (sometimes literal) pigs and the sloppy eating that comes with it.

-Sexual fluid inflation: These ones are almost always the sexually inadequate or have fantasies of being more capable than they actually are. They often want nothing more than to be so 'virile' they can produce literal gallons of fluid (most frequently cum but there's a few piss deviants in there as well) that it fills their partner to the point of swelling. Sometimes they will even obsess over the idea of impregnating a partner with this fetish (a sort of 'no kill like overkill' mindset/drown the fucking womb in spawn idea), or just drowning people in the nasty mess. Of all the inflation fetish groups, these creeps are almost always without a doubt virgins and/or not getting laid anytime soon, which is probably a blessing, all things considered.

I don't get it either, the only other connection I can see is they are fans of old cartoons which had characters inflate as a joke but being fans of cartoons is almost ubiquitous with nerds on the internet and it doesn't explain the sexual attraction.

True, what seemed funny when you're 6 just looks creepy as an adult, the way cartoons often went that way.

I think you can boil inflation down to just fat fetish

Now, the thing I don't get is the craze over Sans from Undertale, seriously? a skeleton?
