Just a random aquaphile
Extent, but they'll always be there as a part of you, I think. As long as you're not hurting anyone, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of.

want you to.

But specifically regarding the whole "feeling self conscious because of finding out that there are aquaphiles in their near 40's" bit, I don't think that's something to be concerned about.

I don't think fetishes in general go away at a certain age. Maybe you can suppress them to some

Well, I think you should do whatever feels right to you. If you want to make art, regardless of whether it's aquaphilia-related or not, you shouldn't let external factors discourage you, and on the flip side, if you DON'T want to, you shouldn't feel pressured to do it just cause other people might

I've seen a little bit of that, but I don't see it often.

Regardless, you'd think people on THAT site, of all places, would know better than to kinkshame. The site is literally known for being the home of weird fetish art.

Observer/lurker, and not as an artist or active member of a community.

Is Deviantart really that bad? It's where I first discovered a bunch of aquaphile artists before switching primarily to Pixiv, and even now, I occasionally see some new ones pop up there who aren't active elsewhere.

But maybe my experience is different because I've only ever used it as a casual

The only stuff I'd consider "blubslop" is AI generated underwater art, and that stupid overused Aladdin peril scene.

I think most of your art is great, though.

That we need to keep minors out of an explicitly 18+ community, so I can only assume that they themselves are a predator who wants to make a FETISH COMMUNITY into a safe space for minors.

They can fuck off with that bullshit.
February 4, 2026 at 1:18 AM
They put me on the list too, so I guess anyone who didn't immediately assume Franky and Mac were irredeemably guilty is a "predator supporter" in their eyes.

They have like half the aquaphile artists on this site in that list, including some who didn't comment on any of this drama beyond saying
February 4, 2026 at 1:18 AM
Pretty sure they blocked me too.

Yeah, a beard on its own doesn't really prove much. My brother had a beard at 15.

Not to mention the accuser starting their post with a Gambit quote, which makes it sound like:
1. They're not actually taking this nearly as seriously as they should be if the accusations are true, and
2. That this is more about some petty vendetta they've been waiting for the right time to act on

target (Macareu). Maybe there's something I missed, maybe there's a lot I'm missing, but something just doesn't feel right about all of this.
February 1, 2026 at 9:49 PM
I never said that they should have to be quiet about it, but the others seem to have just as much proof, if not more, that he's telling the truth, as they have of him lying, and it's kind of suspicious that this comes so soon after the Rage situation AND that they're already moving on to another
February 1, 2026 at 9:49 PM
So, what, are they trying to just cancel aquaphile artists they dislike? What actually is their goal here? What do they get out of any of this?
February 1, 2026 at 9:09 PM
Just me, cause I was barely comfortable even just doing that, and even as an adult, am not entirely comfortable discussing this stuff.

It's part of the reason I made an alt account to interact with the community that can't be tied back to my main in any meaningful way.
February 1, 2026 at 8:41 PM
Frankly, I'm just confused about why there were/are so many minors in this community. I get that teens get horny and have fetishes too, I was one once, but you'd think they'd have the sense not to interact with an explicitly 18+ community beyond maybe liking some art here and there, but maybe that's
February 1, 2026 at 8:41 PM
The accusers acting shady too, making the whole situation a lot more complicated and confusing than the Byondrage situation, which seemed a lot more one-sided.
February 1, 2026 at 8:32 PM
To my understanding, Blaze, Toadman, and some other guy are trying to frame FrankySniper as a groomer, despite himself being a minor at the time, and claiming that he was lying about being a minor, and some other members of the community are backing him and his claims up, and pointing to examples of

Idk a lot about underrated Pokemon, but I think you can never have too much Gardevoire (I think that's how it's spelled? You can probably tell I'm not a huge Pokemon guy).
January 31, 2026 at 8:31 PM
I like some of Rage's art, but it is NOT worth defending a groomer over. Nothing is.
January 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM
True. I do not believe for a second that any anti-woke grifter actually cared about Tomodachi Life before this. They just have an anti-LGBT agenda that they will take any opportunity to push.
January 29, 2026 at 7:37 PM
I fully agree.
January 6, 2026 at 3:37 AM
I prefer no diving gear, personally.
January 5, 2026 at 12:46 AM
Probably not. I'm pretty sure you'd wake up just fine.
