Topic: "Found" Comic by Babystar.

I read the webcomic "Found" (pool #28446) by ABDL artist Babystar a few weeks back on a whim a few weeks ago and I have... opinions. Lots of opinions. I think about this thing all the time. It's a little rock that's been rattling around my brain for the past month or so. I could write a while essay about this furry comic but the TL;DR is that I think it's got a lot of heart and basically does what it sets out to do but also is written in a really baffilingly and unnecessarily convoluted way, with story beats that have the emotional grandiosity slider turned up so high that it's bit of a meme to me. Also not be that one furfag (I'm pan) that's too woke but it annoys me how it vaguely postures towards the patterns of abuse committed under the ideology of family (usually with patriarchal motivation) but never comes to obvious conclusion that family as a social construct is abusive at its core but instead the profoundly liberal conclusion of a child abuse victim starting their own family but promising to be really nice this time. (Although, even mentioning that is a bit redundant because the family has been made so untouchable in western media that this defending/upholding of it, even when its inherent flaws are layed bare, is pretty much a given if a story involves family in any way.)

Anyways, I'd love to hear other folks' thoughts on the comic and discuss opinions about it as well. I have a lot more to say.

So I'm going to give the disclaimer that I'm not the target audience (not ABDL or otherwise). I still found it interesting. It's flawed, for reasons you pointed out, and the plot snapped my suspension of disbelief towards the end to a degree that annoyed me. I got sucked in though because I found the intersection of psychology, trauma, kink/taboo, and trust to be pretty well done. In a lot of mainstream work, this sort of kink is not really touched in protagonists or explored. Here the exploration of how she developed her kink and how it tied into other aspects of her character felt pretty natural. It made me want to see characters in non-kink stories with kinks that are a natural extension of their personality, psychology, and character development. People in real life have kinks, fetishes, and taboo interests that are as much a part of who they are as anything else.

I don't think it's like, the most amazing story or whatever, but I think it's worth a read. It's messy and flawed, but it does interesting things with the premise of 'a diaper fetish comic.'

Plagiarized from a Tumblr post but the authors open fetish that compliments the themes of their work. Important plot device that's also just the authors fetish. Call that a jackoffs gun.
