MemberSekk'ral is not an older man. He is older than Farin, that's correct, but he is 27 years old, and Farin is 18 years old.

MemberFarin is so adorable

MemberI always find it a bit weird when comics need to have the youngest only be 18 while the oldest is much older. I know its a drawing/imaginary so it ultimately does not matter, but when a comic is actually trying to tell a story and not just be porn things like that will stick out. Couldn't even follow the "Your Age Divided By 2 Plus 7 Rule" Sekk'ral should probably be dating someone a bit older so its not as weird.

MemberJesus. I’m 26- am I an “older guy” too?

MemberHello daddy uwu
Aomikan
MemberThat's the gist. I said way in the early days of this comic that I found something off-putting about Sekk'ral, and that there doesn't seem to be anything to their relationship beyond sex.
But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Blocked"kid walks in the woods" - true
"finds naked older man bathing in the woods" - true
"gets seduced by the older man over repeated visits" - false, gets aroused, then attacked by feral tiger, saved by said man, then tries to grope that man while he's asleep
"kid's friends are concerned for him and tell an authority figure" - false, the "authority figure" interrogates them, psychologically abusing them, using their shock state from what they've seen and violating their feeble will
"kid gets reprimanded and grounded" - true
"kid manipulates his friends into allowing him to see his older man" - true
"the older man's family doesn't approve" - true, they're fascists and don't approve of anything involving other "inferior" species
"older man somehow convinces the kid's clan's elders that he's not that bad a dude" - false, he never saw any of those elders
here's your answers

Blockedthey're either:
attempting to lure more people into reading the comic by trolling - that stinks a bit
or
just trolling - that stinks more, given they're a staff member
or
doing Paranoid Pedohunting - that stinks hugely and raises the question about reporting them for being unfit for duty
Vrayber
MemberIts more like an actual stable relation ship. Sekk'ral is just a really considerate and kind guy who saved Farins life. Farin is then attracted to him but also confused because he did not know he was gay but went as far as peaking at sekk'ral's cock. Sekk'ral picks up on Farin being very obvious and also confused and they talk it out. They develop into a kind and loving relationship. Ferin is the main drive for most of the horny stuff between them and is the only drive at the beginning. Problem is, where they both come from dose not like them being together beacuse of the history between the two breads. The only current ally's they have right now that we know of is Farins 2 friends, the elder (a.k.a. Farins father figure), and the priest. That should be all the info you need skiping a lot of details and backstory but that's the general gist of there relationship!

MemberUh, what? You want those kind of people on this site? I don't. And you can look at my favorites and see I like my cub art. I also have my share of gripes with the admin and moderation team here, but who doesn't? Anyway, truth and fairness is always the word of the day. Speculation and assumptions aren't productive.
SnowWolf
Former StaffJust to say:
This would be a really poor way to lure more peopleinto reading. If someone's refreshing the comment feed, they've probably already read this.
As for paranoid pedo hunting ...... I"m just gonna say that my position as staff member has lead me to see a *lot* of things I wish I'd never seen, heard or read. A comment in support of a relationship between an 18 year old and a 27 year old is nothing. I would comment about the fact that, at least in a modern human society, that age game would lead to a pretty significant stagee of life difference, and tried to gently discourage any 18 year olds from dating 27 year olds, but no one is going to get a record unless they're being aggressively creepy about it.
As for trolling... Being one of the people who is in change of this circus and these monkeys (said with all affection), means you need to have some degree of sense of humor. Knotty has been here for over 10 years and is well known for making humorous comments. The difference here is that people are getting defensive because the idea that the comic they enjoy could have some dubious parts to it is scary because they don't want to be a fan os something 'questionable' or 'problematic'... It's still a good story that a lot of people enjoy, and it's okay if parts of the story would set off alarm bells if it happened in real life.
Horsemonger
MemberIt's two adults struggling to be allowed into a gay relationship. There is nothing dubious about it.
The fact that one is a dragon and one is a fox is more of a power gap than the age difference but I don't see anyone questioning the ethics of that.
Just because there is a possibility for abuse doesn't mean it is abuse.
Radicalape
BlockedI wanna see farin or that red fur fox get gang banged by those three evil dragons

MemberI found out this comic 2 days ago and man, this is great. I'm dying for new panels. I'm also sorry for people who wait so long for the next chapters. This is very good job, cheers to you geminisaint

MemberWait so his big run away from home plan was to live in a cave that's only 20 MINUTES AWAY!!!
thatlinuxfur
MemberI think the implication is that it's 20 minutes to the bottom of the hill, after which they can walk / boat / ride motorcycles the rest of the way to the cave.
Tic Tic Tac
BlockedWell, I've just tried to find a non-malevolent and non-trolling intent behind that post, despite the fact that to me making a comment that deliberately looks like a paranoid "concerned citizen"'s report to authorities and twists the plot to make it fit with such concerns is a very poor joke at best
Tic Tic Tac
BlockedWhat are you talking about? What kind of people? The thing is that comment implies that the comic endorses child abuse when there is none of that. Also I don't like "cub art", and can relate to Farin in this plot. I'd have a dragon's dick up my ass anytime

Former StaffOn this site, I and many others have always made comments that roast uploaded content. This topic and this comic are not magically exempt from roasting.
I didn't want to come back to this. I hate that saying "it was just a joke lol" opens me up to Schrodinger's douchebag accusations. But don't you think that, if I meant it maliciously, I would have said something about this comic before?
If a normal user had said this instead of staff, would you have also put words in their mouth?
I've said something like this elsewhere: we're not going to bleach your image for you. We're not going to make the furry label less weird for you to wear. To say the furry fandom is totally clean and not weird at all™ is disingenuous.

Member20 minutes away as the crow (or in this case, dragon) flies would be orders of magnitude longer if on foot simply because of how treacherous the terrain is.
Deathbringer97
MemberWhy do I have a feeling that Ra'ghalek, that angry mofo, has pursued them either way, cause not only is he a jelly bitch, but also simping for the Dragon Chief too, I bet, and taking their prisoner back would probably make him happy, in Ra'ghalek's mind! XD
User123987
BlockedI know a lot of you will disagree with me, but I don't think pedophilia relationships are always bad... and I say it as someone who as kid (in age ~10 years) had experience with pedophile, and even now I think, the experience was not negative... I agree that often pedo can be bad, but there are still exceptions and it differ in every situation, and you just can not say all cases are bad... yes there is law, etc etc, but from moral aspect I don't see pedo necessarily as bad... it can be bad, but doesn't need... ofc I agree we need to protect childs in general, as situations are hard to consider, and often it can be bad.
skunk in scarf
Former Staffoops I take it back. meant whatever bullshit you guys all said I meant.
man this really made you all crawl out of the woodwork didn't it
talk about truth in comedy
edit - I have no problem with the comic, aside from Farin and Sekk'Ral both having their manipulative guilting moments. Like post #2029956 and post #1630817 (justification or not, admit Farin really did pull this shit for multiple pages). I was fine with sparking a conversation about this subject matter. Of course my comment didn't accurately describe the story. That was the point.
But damn everyone was out for blood this past week, jeez. In what universe does anyone think these wild interpretations of my actions make me look bad? Get real.

MemberI hope Farin loses his fear of flying and Sekk'ral helps by showing him the beauties of the world you can see when you're up there
Bjorn13
MemberHmm interesting debate here, but i think farin is old enough to make his adult decisions however flawed they may be. I for one, would also go for scalie, no shame in that. Also characters in this story indeed arent perfect... which is great, it actually makes them "human".
