Shine page 350

Ugh. Reminds me of an old roommate of mine. Accused me of "sexualizing the infantile" (whatever the fuck that means.) Guy was a total kinkshaming asshole, glad I don't live with him anymore.

Yeah, happened to me...

Ah this reminds me of the conversation we had when I was commissioning those two pictures with my ex. You're a gem, and I appreciate how you took that conversation at the time to this day. It's one of those things that makes me wish I could hang out with you and Paul more. <3

This one page explains a lot about Star, and her initial reluctance to accept her “little” self. It recalls the first few pages of the comic years ago...poor little lynx must’ve internally struggled with this for years before she met Manda and Lure. Being gay I can relate somewhat relate to this situation. That said I wonder what Elly’s into? Great work and we all look to what more you have to say with this scene.

One that gets me is when it's always somehow associated with crossdressing too and a bunch of transphobic comments that really hit hard... Particularly before coming out as trans...

Ooof, that's a tough one. It took me sooooo long to come out to my best friend. I have had this interest in diapers since high school. Don't know where it came from, just always thought it was the weirdest thing ever. I always stuffed it to the darkest corner of my mind, but it always showed back up eventually. One day I find myself reading this comic and I finally said screw it, and ordered some apparel online. Now I have two best friends and a therapist that know. Luckily no backlash yet. All that to say I know how Star feels, and I am very blessed to have these people in my life.

Elly is a big and she's gonna pad little Star! Taking bets!

Oof that’s rough, but unfortunately that’s the way it goes more times than not

I did wonder if anyone would notice that :D

As brutal a situation as this is, one of the things that I'm taking away from it is Elly didn't appear to join in at all.

Yup that’s definitely a common belief of ABDL, I was caught in my teens by my parents with baby diapers (god forbid if they ever found the abdl ones I have now lol) and each time the freaked out with a chat on mental illness. Now that I’m older they don’t seem to care, though they don’t know the full extent). With the extreme 24/7 cases that seem to be more of an avoidance of reality rather than a kink I can agree on the mental illness front, obviously it’s the result of severe mental trauma. That being said I’m not saying it’s bad it’s more of a concern but as long as the person is happy why should anyone really care? Really people need to try and help them. In my case I found that my kink is due to early childhood trauma and after my parents grilled me for so long it’s really difficult to be open about it. But honestly I prefer it to be a secret because in my positions in life I need to maintain an image of dependability and strength otherwise it will make progress more difficult. All in all I’m satisfied but I don’t think I’ll be truly happy until I find a special someone that can accept this side but also acknowledge it isn’t an extension of me sense of self, it’s just a kink and how I relax in super secret time. Ok I’m done with my rant lol

This comic has been helpful for me understanding this... thing I'm into. I also agree that whatever you're into is alright as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. This page is fairly relevant to me too. I haven't had it come up quite like that, but for me, my closest friend is the one saying almost anything is fine, except (explicitly) this. I'm thankful and lucky to have one other person in my life I can talk to about it if I need to though, but they aren't into it at all.

Drunk kitty wants some spanks. What's wrong with that?

*Sips some feelium* I can totally relate, at some point we all were in that, when we could somehow exploit otherselves and felt guilty for it. I like this comic a lot because it includes a lot of valid feelings among the ABDLs.

Yeah sadly anyone in the abdl community would get shamed for it. I didn't really come into adbl side of the furry Fandom until after Facebook was a thing, and I've seen many kinkshaming posts made by close friends and family, including diaper wearing. Even cubs are frowned upon cause people think they are mentality screwed. I haven't been able to tell most of my family or friends I'm a furry, and the ones that do know, I'm afraid to tell them what parts of the Fandom I'm a part of cause I'm pretty self conscious when it comes to my kinks.

I my gosh do I feel this one! I can't even properly describe how long I spent feeling ashamed and out of place because of being a ABDL. Even when I learned of the fetish club in town I still kept it on the down low for sooooooo long. It took a few amazing friends who I trust to this day with my life to help push me out of my shell and finally start enjoying my self. It is totally because of them that I consider myself to be living my best life right now!

That's really hard. im sorry that's happened to you :( I hope your Mum chills out, it might just be because its new information to her and she needs time to process it

In fairness she was drunk and probably thought spanking was like really low down/lame in the 'how kinky are you' scale but ultimately you're right she shouldnt have said anything. im sure if it had been something more kinky she probably would have kept quiet

Oddly I actually know one of the guys who went on a uk chatshow. He tried to errr talk fairly norally and present himself rather normally, but truthfully...people just want something sensationalist...Its very rare that something good comes out of those sort of programs.

This kinda hits home with me. Just this week my mom called me a pedophile because she found out about me being into abdl (I did not tell her she found out on her own). She then went on to say that I shouldn't be allowed to hold my newborn niece and that I'm a freak. I'm not saying this to try and get sympathy just... I kinda wanna say that this kinda helped me feel less alone. Thank you for making something like this keep up the great work!

I hate those documentarys, no one who actually represents the majority of people in a community would go on the show

OOOF this hurts me in my soul. You constructed this scene so well, it feels so real, and I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s... REALLY difficult to come back from that. Heck. I wish I could give you a hug. 🥺

And how could you break your promise Elly. you even fandabidozi it

I myself have been close to tell that I like ABDL to some when they started talking about how sick you have to be to like that. Not a fun feeling
