Are you guys seriously telling me you DIDN’T GET COAL FOR CHRISTMAS?!?!? AT LEAST ONCE?!

@Background Pony #35CE  
Yes

This is bad I am starting to get a fetish for watching this mare get abused

Get a hammer and break that shit up, throw it in the fireplace, use it in your stove, you can smoke food with it. Coal is a fantastic gift for cooking! (Don’t actually buy your friend who likes cooking coal.)

@Diaz  
No idea what that means. XD

Wow, you people really have no shame.

At first, I thought they were those oreos with chocolate icing, and I was about to be like “same”, but i guess coal is valid too

Hugs her*

Remember people this is only a drawing, a work of fiction. If you take it TOO seriously, You should better stop watching this and do something else. This art is so good to watch and enjoy that, if I could, I would patron the author and support its work. So stop hate and enjoy this gif.

It is very… interesting that the page with physical abuse added has a higher score than the one with only the coal present.

I love this pic
 
||because there are people whos x-mas is really like this ||
 
@habitantunholycity  
when i ever some of mars miners (rape pics) i feel so thank full that ‘im not in her shoes. But yet i feel as I am a still there watching her get screwed in the alley for some bits. sure i don’t want to wish this on anyone. But i need to remember that this is a drawing. so i choose to help those in real need the this X-mas helping handout food hamper for the poor putting 95$ in the food bank. Donating some old toys to local drive. ||I do this because I have accepted that humans have a darker side. || I try to help those in real need and i don’t ask Keith to stop drawing Venus in moments like this. ||the darker the better it will mirror the refection || But for those who demand Mars to stop and say he is a bad person. I feel that they don’t want to look in the mirror. Because they don’t want to see the zit in the refection, they don’t want to even know that it exists. ||they want to pass judgement on mars i will pass judgement on them. ||

@habitantunholycity  
Fair enough.
 
I only offered the opinion due to a few of Mars’ posts referring to some of his darker themes just ‘happening’ without his noticing.
 
As an (admittedly crap) creator myself, sometimes my stories stick in my head, change, and go completely off the rails from where I wanted them to, sometimes forcing me to restructure my story to the point of unrecognizablity from the planned outcome.
 
Noticing this in Mars’ posts, I figured I might have come across a similar situation.
 
And the only reason I commented at all beyond ‘poor Venus’ was the trend of the comments leaning towards ‘Mars has crossed a line!’ And wanted to give my 2 cents.
 
And here we go again psychoanalyzing people/characters over the internet. Jesus. Whether or not Mars’ venusabuse fetish amounts to this or that is exactly as pointless an argument as whether or not Raibow Dash is a lesbian.
 
Unless Mars posts again saying “well, here are my notes from the therapist” or we see RD go down on Flutters, we will never know.
 
TLDR; You’re probably right. My story sounds better. It doesn’t matter either way. Venus deserves better. Pity her. Ignore me, I’m a huge faggot.

@Drake Quagmire  
OR, or, hear me out, this is pretty revolutionary stuff: he’s a guy with a rape fetish that also likes drawing, and to give some sort of context to his pictures he has created a backstory and so certain themes are bound to come up.
 
He has a pretty varied taste in rape (well who fucking knows, knowing what is commissions and what isn’t), foalcon, female on male, gay, all that stuff (the only I can’t remember is lesbian, I can recall like two pictures) so it only follows that he’d like some contexts, because here’s the thing: rape, as a fetish, is about pain, not unlike comedy. It can be about many other things, like control, getting over feelings of inadequacy (unless you’re Ed Kemper), etc, but this all comes as a result of pain, of unwillingness. And if you’re to draw so much of it, you’re going to write a backstory for it, if not to create plausible context (which is not necessary in porn) then to further enhance that pain.
 
It’s very much emotional pornography. It’s not just the rape, it’s the scars that it leaves. The pain on the victim’s parents after they discover that their little girl or boy filly or colt has been completely robbed of innocence for no fault of his own. Or in incest, knowing that the mistreatment of the one most close to the victims were the ones to ultimately betray her/him, and that those scars will last forever.
 
Yes, it sounds dark, and gross and disgusting, but that’s because it is. I’m not condemning rape porn, mind you, I just said before I’m a pretty big fan of his work because it’s realistic (in the realm of rape porn as expressed through pastel coloured cartoon horses, of course), but make no mistake, all of that attachment and all of those feelings are very much a perverse sentimentality out of the fetishization of the effects of rape (rather than the act itself) and it’s catharsis is not unlike that of the climax a voyeur feels when he sees some victim describe their attack in detail.

And this is what you get when you complain Venus got coal. The more you struggle, the more it hurts. Venus’ life story.

Sometimes, I get the idea that Mars isn’t so much creating the story as he is telling it.
 
Hear me out. Venus is his creation, yes? Yes. But I get the impression that her story is not under his control. He knows what her story is, (one of pain, abuse, and despair) but cannot change it any more than one of us can change real history. The best he can do is influence her story, but he is incapable of changing it.
 
Venus got coal and a black eye for Christmas because she got coal and a black eye, not because her creator wanted to spread malaise.
 
He may not even know he’s doing it, but sometimes
 
We don’t always write our stories, sometimes they write themselves, and all we as creators can do is chronicle the events as they unfold.
 
TLDR; pity poor Venus, but do not condemn her creator, for it is not up to him to say how her story goes, only to show us how it went.

@Kamazeustra  
It’s the S H I T P O S T M A F I A.

The other one has a negative score, weird fix fics in the comments and people actually triggered into considering stealing Venus (the IP, I guess?) from marsminer. Then the same picture with a black eye gets a positive score. What the hell is going on?

We need a Venabuse tag.

@marsminer  
It’s dialectics, man, just let it happen.

@habitantunholycity  
That wasn’t my intention, but I’ve notice that happeneing.

Marsminer, big fan of your work here, but I just feel compelled to, I have to say, how much I admire your business model here, it’s on the level of the Divine Augustus.  
First you make a lot of rape pics staring your OC, fairly normal.  
Then, when people start feeling for the OC for seeing her so much, they start actually caring.  
So, they commission pics of her being treated nicely, like we’ve seen before.  
So you have both rape commissions and commissions as a direct response to rape commissions.  
Genius. Illustrious. Brilliant.

the thing with this one that makes everyone upset is the meaning of a gift
 
when you see a gift with your name, you expect something nice, you are filled with anticipation, filled with “ohh, what can it be?” and that feeling makes you happy in some way
 
but then you get coal and your heart gets broken

“Give me their name, Venus. No one escapes Justice.”
