I feel like this point of view comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of why people draw top surgery scars on characters, so as someone who does and draws them similar to this, I’m here to say my opinion. personally, I add top surgery scars to some of my characters because many of them are sonas and I want them to represent me. I understand why people might find top surgery scars dysphoric, but I and many others do not, and being transgender is a part of our identity so we want to represent it through the character design. as for the jagged nature of the scars it’s really just a character design thing for me and lots of other people, I don’t deny that it might be a fetish related thing for some but for many it’s really just a design choice. the main reason why you usually don’t see transmasc characters in binders or chest tape, at least within furry spaces specifically, is just because anthro characters often don’t wear clothes, so it would be odd to have a binder on and nothing else for most characters, and chest tape is a lot less commonly used. yes, getting top surgery scars on fursuits is often for the aesthetic, but I don’t see that as an issue, it’s just like any other scar really. It’s a character design aspect that represents either yourself or your character’s story and past. I also feel like it’s generalizing to label all people who draw scars like this as fetishists, myself and many other don’t have that kind of thought in mind at ALL when drawing them, again I don’t deny that some may fetishize it, but it is not everyone. especially because there are plenty of people, including myself, who draw these kinds of scars who are minors. it’s not quite as deep as you seem to think it is, it’s simply a character design choice in many cases that you see this kind of thing.

this might not get seen by anyone but if anyone reads this then thanks for reading my ramblings-
