Prevailing opinion is that these paraphilias arise as a combination of media exposure and the onset of puberty. Sexual triggers become linked to these odd things because that is what they happen to consume during their sexual awakening.

Autism can be part of the problem: if their fixations on a media property begin early enough and are committed to throughout adolescence, they will inevitably associate it with sexual gratification when the time is right.

It's actually pretty natural for people who are approaching puberty to have strange fixations because they haven't yet gained an understanding of sexuality yet. If a twelve year old was drawing hardcore real sexual fanart or something then that'd actually be an enormous red flag -- any child care worker who saw that would immediately investigate cause that's a sign of molestation. But if you have feedback supporting your weird desires or alternatively never get experience of regular sexuality then you can get some weird poo poo going on there. Which is really harmless tbh, its just weird. Actual poo poo like rape and predation tend to stem from a power fantasy rather than outright attraction.

So now you know.

I looked up the burger dog to get context and I think it's done in full seriousness. The artist's gallery is full of sparkledog adoptables which she is selling for 30-75 dollars each. Apparently some kid paid a good sum of real money (200 dollars?) for the rights to burger dog's design, while at the same time soliciting donations for veterinary care for their cat. Pure, unfiltered deviantART.

Here's another one of her adoptables. This is a species she made up herself. She says that blunted horns are "rare", so it's worth an extra 15 dollars.

That makes sense. My own fantasies got real banal once I became sexually active. Not that I was into deli meets and forced tickling by giantess Priuses with crystal hands.

I just came to that realization before reading your post. Someone paid a lot of money for a premade character concept of a cheeseburger dog with a dick growing out of his back. :froggonk: Only on deviantART, folks. At least for once, this inexplicable character is (probably) not a fetish.

Please note that that's not the explanation for all weird fetishes though. The one people usually discuss is feet, which is actually a really common kink that psychologists believe is actually neurological rather than based in upbringing. Some people are just predisposed to strange sexual desires of one kind or another one for reasons that are really nobody's fault.

What about tickling fetishes? I'm overly sensitive to tickling and find it extremely unpleasant. :(

It may not help that one of my earliest memories of dreams as a kid was being tickled nonstop by an anthropomorphic dog and me trying to get it to stop.

I have the suspicion that sometimes a negative experience is tied to the negativity and danger around sex. Like excitement over fear has been confused for arousal in studies. It becomes a fetish when you take that fear and then make it a fantasy and control it. It becomes like a rollercoaster.

Natasha's Revenge

by FartFiction, 6 days, 10 hours ago
Literature / Fan Fiction / Humor

Natasha was always made fun of for her bad farting habits. Because of how often she farted she wasn't able to make any friends and school life was hell for her. Even outside of school her life was a pain to live. Other people would fart and blame it on her and everyone would always believe it and bully Natasha. The school's queen bee, Felicity, had the stinkiest farts in the school but she'd always put the blame on Natasha making it even harder for Natasha to make friends. Because of this she'd spend most of her free time online. One day, she told an online friend of her's about her problems with her farts and everyone at school. The person then gave her certain ingredients to make a potion that would turn her into a giantess so she could get revenge. She checked the ingredients to make sure there was nothing toxic and that it wasn't a prank and there wasn't anything bad so she bought the ingredients and mixed them together. She drank the potion she made and noticed a strange feeling through her whole body. She started to grow and before she was too big, she replied thank you to the person who gave the ingredients to her. She was eventually so big that she was seen by the entire city and homes were the only slightly bigger than her teeth. She looked at the city below her and laughed. Finally she could get revenge of this lovely city that looked down on her. She felt her stomach rumbling and she leaned over a little bit and farted. Gas covered the entire city and everyone could smell it. She started walking on the city causing many deaths and wrecking heaps of buildings.
She squatted over and caused a flood of her piss which wiped out half of the city's population. She saw someone who avoided the flood running for his life and she spat on him, killing him in the progress. She then went to the place she hated the most, her school.
"If we're going to die, we should kiss one last time," said Felicia to her boyfriend. Before they could kiss, Natasha picked up Felicia's boyfriend and shoved him up her nose. She then blew him out of her nose and he was covered in snot. Felicia ran away and Natasha grabbed her. She then sneezed on heaps of people killing them and everyone else who was living at the school she just squashed like bugs. Except for Felicia though, Natasha had something very special for her. When the school and everything in the city was destroyed, Natasha put Felicia on the ground and squatted over her. "Dont you dare fart on me! It's my job to fart on you!" Felicia yelled.
Natasha then pushed as hard as she could and heaps quickly, a giant poo poo dropped on Felicia, killing her not from the force of it falling on her, but from the smell.
From now on, Natasha roamed the destroyed city, eating any survivors she finds. People have sent helicopters and tanks to take her down but helicopters could be taken down with a burp and tanks could be taken down by buttcrushing. She was too strong for anything.

I browsed through some of her past sales, and it seems like every batch of those giraffe-dog things has "rare" features that call for a higher price tag. Of course.

What's more useless: the promise of a playable Star Citizen ship, or the exclusive rights to a sparkledog character design? They're both selling an idea that the buyer thinks is totally cool, but it'll probably never get used. The ship has the excuse of being trapped in a game stuck in development hell, but I don't get the adoptables. People on deviantART line up to pay significant amounts of real money for these things (presumably to use them as their own character in art or roleplay?) but from what I've seen, the majority of them just sit there and gather dust. My theory is that this is cargo culting, imitating what popular people are doing on the site without any context.

What I always wonder about these is why anyone doesnt just steal these things. They're not even paying for art, just the concept of a goiterdeer with cat paws with specific colors, so do your own?

I get the second two, but as for #1, they aren't getting multiple pictures though? Just one picture of that one thing for $30-$75, but there are hundreds of competent artists on DA that would draw 20+ pictures of your stupid sparkle-goiter-monster for the same price. There are seriously people on that site that will draw the same thing as she is with the same skill level for under $5.

I just cant wrap my mind around why anyone with money wouldnt just steal the design/make something really similar, and then go get another artist to draw them up a pile of pics for cheap instead of buying that ONE recolored image.

It's mostly #2. Artists gossip a bunch, mostly for the sake of letting people know who doesn't finish their work on time or which commissioners don't pay. There are usually whole blogs and tumblrs set up for this. Breaking these rules could really bite you in the rear end later on.

At its most virulent this includes sparkledognapping, and failure to draw minority characters dark enough. Both of which invites harassment and death threats.

These don't seem quite like commissions. The artist is making these on her own and then selling them, with picky rules about what you can do with many of these designs once they're purchased. (The prices would be a lot more reasonable if these were custom commissions.)
