So, the dogfucking video shoot (what even is 2020):
People involved in seriously illegal and deviant porn don’t as a rule make money from it, because it isn’t bought and sold. It’s traded. A giant swap shop of deviancy and misery.
Marl was never getting paid in money for the video, but he was getting brand new footage that he could swap with other perverts for stuff he didn’t already have. This is why he needed her filmed. He was so pissed with her because a) she performed badly on the shoot which devalues the clip and b) she reacted so poorly he realised he would not be able to get her to continue making clips.
What he actually wanted from her was a continual source of fresh new material to use to bolster his own collection and also to give him clout amongst other perverts.
She has reason to believe the clip is still being traded and may (will) eventually come to light. What she did is criminal in many places and she’s scared of the legal and social consequences of being filmed sexually abusing an animal.
Marl tried to lure other people - well, actually, children - into replacing Mel as the star of his homemade dogfucking porn operation because he wanted a source of material he controlled. Also, videos featuring children and animals simultaneously being abused - particularly ones never previously seen/traded - would have allowed him to trade for a lot of stuff in both animal and child abuse rings. That’s like, top grade criminal material everywhere.
Mel turned a blind and uncaring eye to this behaviour because she decided to save herself from any more star turns in dogfucking videos by allowing and encouraging him to find a new victim. She did nothing because the same way she used Eevee as a human shield in her marriage, she hoped Marl would find a human shield to keep her out of his dogfucking porn operation.
If she had enjoyed it and not been concerned about being identified in the video, everything would probably still be hunky dory.
But the problem with being an artist who is heavily tied to the beast - sorry, zoo fur - community is that a lot of people in a very small community are watching that illegal material, they are going to recognise you from con appearances and whoops, you are outed as a beast porn star.
I have been thinking it over and I think you're hitting at the real story.
I noticed she kept emphasizing "well he didn't say that I had to fuck the dog to fuck Eevee but I believed that to be true" or something to that effect.
I think this was more like, "you try my kink of dog fucking, I'll try your kink of fucking other people"
And, yeah, I believe it was probably a super shitty experience, but fucking a dog to be able to be in a shitty poly 3way, let alone turning a blind eye to the likely possibility (and fact) that he was grooming other teens for such?
Abusive relationships are terrible, but you'll never get anywhere in life not taking any accountability.
He eventually was fine with poly presumably because, if the parts about exty and presumably others we don't know about is true, I'm guessing the agreement turned into "dogfuck with other people and let me fuck Eevee and run pmd-e shit/floraverse shit, also I'm getting super expensive cats and you're house husband"
It's like Mel, I have a degree of sympathy, but holy fucking shit, the solution was, dump pedo husband for Eevee, not "attempt dogfucking poly snafu"
And frankly this is just a mess, Eevee has to have some pretty shitty skeletons in that closet to basically put up with "yeah so, fucked a dog so we could fuck, also, he kept trying to get random people to fuck the dog"
I'd think that warrants, fuck idk, some marriage counseling at the least, but what do I know, I'm just a fucking adult.
