Good lord, the Kothorix video was loaded with “selective facts”, slanted in such a way to paint Zaush as the victim. Here is a far better argument that shows why the points made in that video are fundamentally broken! http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqfcmn

My thoughts are with the children Zaush used as references for porn in this situation, above everything. I hope we can both agree that they shouldn't have been used like that, at the very least.
The images weren’t used as reference for porn, they were used in a discussion about what body type to make an existing character he was interested in aging down. I don’t use human references for art apart from bodybuilding photos when needed.

Using them as examples for the body type is still using them for reference, big brain. What you did was still exploitative and inappropriate, stop doubling down.
-
Yeah, on second thought I'm not sure there is as much of a distinction as I thought. Using a picture as a reference for a body type, which will then be used in porn isn't really different than saying using the picture as a ref for porn, is it? There's just one more step involved.
-
Except the step of making the art, which never happened.
-
Can I ask why it stopped at this step?

It mutated and changed over the convo. Eventually she was to be 16, and would or would not include the mother in the commission.. I think it was never done because it was too ambitious and expensive for a private project.

Hands down, you’re an amazing artist. No question. However the concern is that you’ve even ended up in this situation in the first place. And you have well known art like “Daddy’s Little Secrets” which is clearly about incest with visibly youthful girls. I guess my question is...
-
Why get anywhere near such blurry lines in the first place? It seems like asking for trouble. People clearly want to support you. Like I said, you’re very obviously an amazing artist. I also understand body types and youthful looking 18+ yo’s
-
We do things without thinking, especially in private conversations. The photos should not have been included in the art convo. That's the best way I can explain why it happened and why it is not happening anymore.

I just want to make sure I understand your tweet. You were using images of children as body-type examples for art?

I don't think people are capable of making that distinction.

There's no distinction. Child porn is child porn. Get over it. Stop defending pedophiles and the abuse of kids.
