Nothing wrong with making a fictional race as disturbing as possible
The “mother finds this orgasmic” part doesn’t add to how disturbing the concept is though it just makes me feel weird about the writer
Yeah, just cut that part and its good for a race thats supposed to be disturbing
I mean sure, but I don’t think it’s like, bad to be included either. Still serves to make them fucked up imo
As in, Im reading it as the mother knows that’s what is happening and derives intense pleasure from it that it becomes physical elation
It absolutely makes it more disturbing, get out of here with your babies eating each other is fine, but a shitty mother enjoying it is fetish stuff moral high ground nonsense.
I dunno dude, I disagree with you and seemingly a great deal of other people do too, but you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. No need to insult me to make your point.
Yeah… a LOT of the Drow lore got amped up around the time Salvatore was writing about Drizzt.
Some of it was like “the Tau are actually led by mind control” in that it was always there but mostly ignored. But most of the REAL fucked up “let’s have an orgy with your siblings” stuff was very much done to make Drizzt cooler and… yeah…
Its why anyone who insists “they ruined Forgotten Realms” and “We need to go back to the good old days” deserves some massive side eyeing,
The Tau thing is interesting because people got that idea from a source that you’re supposed to recognize is an Imperial anti-xeno propaganda manual.
I feel like this is relevant lol.
But know what? I’m glad we’re in a world where fantasy authors can be cringe sometimes.
Not every idea hits, and sometimes like this it’s downright gross and I don’t like it, but I’m glad they are free to give bad ideas a try, because in the end it really is whatever we want it to be.
We can take what we like, and leave what’s better left.
