Listening to: The Plot In You - Silence (MAPHRA Vocal Cover)I fucking love a strong woman that can express her own pathos so potently. Maphra's singing gives me the feelings I had when I was teenager. I felt things much more intensely back then, and ever since I started trying to take my own suffering seriously, I've been crying more and feeling pain more deeply. Which sounds miserable, but people mistakenly think life is about escaping negative emotions. The emotions are there to inform us of an injury that needs healing. Cutting off our ability to feel pain is like assuming pain receptors are the problem instead of a festering wound.
"Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto" - I am human, nothing that is human is alien to me. - Terence, Publius Terentius AferA while back, I remember seeing a canvas webtoon artist shitting on NSFW artists in their comment section for "using webtoons to funnel people to their Patreon and peddle porn." A reader of theirs was praising them for not doing that because it's not prestigious or righteous, or something. I find this attitude towards NSFW art in the West to be very strange. It's not an issue in places like Korea or Japan. It's a huge industry there and the artists are treated with respect like any other art form, given their history of art depicting all kinds of human pathos. It's like in the West, sex in art or media is socially acceptable if it's depicted as something ugly, miserable, or unappealing. You're not suppose to be aroused by it because that's filthy and reprehensible or something. We all know that sex is this complicated thing tied up with so many emotions. Often times, it's not even about the physical sensations. It's more about the emotional aspect for most of humanity, at least that's what I think. We're searching for something when we desire it, something much deeper than just getting off. A lot of people are looking for comfort or an escape, or some way to bond more deeply with someone, or they're hoping to get rescued and address unmet emotional needs rooted in a time when they were younger and much more vulnerable.The things that people find arousing says a lot about them, and this dismissal of erotica that isn't "prestigious" in the West is so bizarre to me. It's such a fundamentally human thing, that I think people who shit on NSFW artists are hiding behind a veneer of grandiosity because they are scared of their own feelings around lust and sexuality.
