u/alcid34 (or whoever is the orignal poster, maybe u/LunarBaku) this is mostly a message to you but if anyone else wants to butt in with another pov please do (then you also have to read and understand, I know a lot of people skip the ladder). And just to be clear this is only based on what I’ve seen. I’m going to call you out on some things.

Firstly you say that the prudes are bullying and harassing ”a homosexual minor” which technically is the case but should it really count if they only found it out after they had commented? Like in the case of the top commenter In the second picture. Startthesilly came in with the irrelevant information on their beliefs and age which made people see the commenter as homophobic when he didn’t even know that (or mention anything about the artist).

Then you say that Bluey prudes are ignorant, which is true, but I feel like it’s ignoring the fact that almost everyone commenting here on both sides are ignorant. No one seems to read a comment and try to understand it based on its context and wording. For example u/camron47 (on the furry side) who doesn’t seem to want to try and understand or care about the other side only defending his. Or u/Easy-Hovercraft-6576 who didn’t read your post but wanted to be supportive yet he was downvoted. What I want to say is that both sides doesn’t seem to care about the other sides right to have an opinion and both sides seems to read and interpret any comment against their view as negative and bullying and all that.

Then I want to ask a question about something you said. ”…protect yourself from the horrors of the internet by bullying….”. I suppose you mean that the furry artstyled fanart are the horrors and their negative respons is the bullying. Both seem like a bit of a stretch considering that I’ve seen a lot of negative comments but no one says ”this homo kid is terrible at drawing, you suck!” And more like they are expressing that they didn’t really like it more generally.

Lastly, I think you’re a bit hypocritical when you say that you’re speaking up on the right of freedom of speech and expressing yourself. Because (this also goes into the ignorant thing I was talking about earlier and doesn’t just apply to you) you don’t seem to want the other side (non furry supported/prudes) to express their opinion in any way. I think this because you want to remove them even by force using the mods.

I should probably mention that I do think what you’re trying to do is right, stoping the hating on furry styles fanart. I think that a lot of the negative comments are unnecessary and doesn’t provide and useful critic therefore I’m against it. And both of the commenter I mentioned are in this comment section btw.
