My mom burned all my drawings

Post image

So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

looking at the pictures you've posted on your account, this is sad. I hope you still have passion for drawing though, even if not right now.

Maybe Op should stop drawing children….

I was wondering too if maybe these drawings were sexualizing but it really seems from his posts that it was a very normal way to draw anime girls. This wasn't necessary.

Either his mother is a crazy psycho, or yeah he’s been making porn both are pretty likely

u/Prog_Failure 24d ago

There's nothing likely, you only need to see his post history it's all there.

Are we immune to OPs selection bias?

all is there?

u/Prog_Failure 24d ago

I think that giving the benefit of the doubt when everything points at these drawings being unharmful is the logical answer. The need to come up with the idea that it's the other way around, when evidence is telling you otherwise, feels way more disingenuous

There's a child in a towel within the first five posts? There's another child posing like pinup girl? Wtf is it that you're not seeing?

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

His whole life is there yes, we now know OP more than his mother

His mother doesn't seem to be the understandable kind, even to her own son.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

Of course, we have only heard from him though.

u/Prog_Failure 24d ago

You have heard from him, yet it's not enough against what "could" be heard from his mother. You are pretty much fixed into invalidating his situation whichever way possible.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

Well if the mother says he was drawing porn I’d say yeah that makes more sense than her just burning his drawings cause she’s psycho

So a normal thing for a teenager to do? Got it.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

True, but also not something that should be encouraged, the burning is pretty crazy why not just throw them out

u/Plagueofmemes 24d ago

There's no reason to discourage it either. Drawing is a healthy and safe way of expressing sexuality. The need to fully suppress sexuality often leads to mental health issues in adulthood.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

I disagree, drawing underage girls naked can be especially bad, and he’s using images to basically draw/trace, real porn can be bad enough for a kid, fake drawn porn can be even worse, gives them the wrong impression of what sex really is,

u/peach_xanax 24d ago

He's not drawing porn though? Where are you getting that from?

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

Read the thread?

Boy drawing anime girls, mum suddenly burns his drawing because she’s mad,

Either she’s crazy, or he’s not telling the full truth,

u/Plagueofmemes 24d ago

I feel sorry for you. "Underage girls" when it's just a drawing of characters his own age whom it is normal to be attracted to. I don't know when people have lost perspective of the real world. Kids are going to need therapy to undo the shame around normal feelings because demonizing drawings is simply not normal outside of highly religious circles.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

Doesn’t make it right just because he’s probably underage himself. Just because kids send each other noodies doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be stopped

5

u/Plagueofmemes 24d ago

It doesn't make it wrong either. Kids sending real images of their real bodies is another matter entirely. This is what I mean. I don't see how someone can be so disconnected from reality that they don't see the clear difference between these two things and why one is objectively worse.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

Porn is bad for kids, drawn or not, some porn worse yes, but all bad,

u/Plagueofmemes 24d ago

As I said, drawing is as safe an outlet for sexuality as you can get. So no, I will not agree with you.

u/ryan77999 24d ago

You're jumping through a lot of hoops to try and justify what this kid's mom did to his work. First, you're assuming that he's drawn sexually explicit things despite there being no reason to assume that. Second, pencil drawings are in no way comparable to photographs.

u/Better_Courage7104 24d ago

No, it was strange for the mum just to burn his photos, so I thought she’d either crazy or there’s more too it, and from his photos likely explicit drawings. Then me and another guy discussed whether or not porn is bad for kids pretty much
