1. Why Zaush and why not _______ too??? For the most part, being organized and tackling ONE problem at a time. When the leaks came out and were admitted to be real, I had an “alright, that’s it” moment and decided to go forward with this. I’m not active on inkbunny or other

platforms where CP is common, so I don’t know of many other CP artists. I recommend reporting any others to @FandomWatchdogs , since they’re good at gathering information on beware worthy users in an organized manner. I 100% feel CP artwork is unacceptable no matter who does it.

2. Zaush isn’t breaking the law! Stop! My petition is to get him banned from Furaffinity, not thrown in jail. I simply don’t have enough proof he broke a law to do that. If someone else does, by all means, report him to the police. All I’m trying to do is get him straightened

4. If you censor CP... where do we draw the line? If you don’t feel the least bit uncomfortable about children being sexualized/abused, I highly reccomend seeing a professional therapist. I’m not taking away anyone’s right to talk about this, hell, I’m not even sure if this

petition will work out. I think there are simply some things that just, by nature, are not okay and should be discouraged. For the sake of children, people’s health, and people struggling with pedophila. CP artwork does more harm than good. Taking away a harmful drug isn’t

censoring anyone, it’s protecting people from continuing to indulge in it more at the risk of ruining their lives and the lives of others. That’s how I see this.

5. But in other countries... Zaush lives in the United States so this argument isn’t applicable here. End of story. Also even if other countries are okay with this sort of subject matter, it doesn’t take away the fact that it is harmful and hurts people as a result.
