Since there always seems to be at least one person ootl when the subject of Rhea's BDSM dragon comes up, here's an archive link

This is why people have trouble getting horse gear UMAs approved now

(It's gross too because afaik Rhea is a woman and this whole dragon just reeks of gay men fetishisation)

It's gross because it's on a website for children not because you think gay men own the leather scene.

Yeah, that's totally why I thought that. It's not because they, presumably as a femme identifying person, chose to make their gay dragon a sexualized UwU softboi twink who loves getting dommed. There's totally not like, a known problematic demographic of women who fetishize gay men exactly like that. No sir.

that "presumably" is sure carrying a lot of weight here

I'm saying presumably because I can't remember 100% but Rhea was an early FR poster on Tumblr under the name cassowarhea where they went by she/her iirc. I'd check archives to verify but I can't because the Wayback Machine's been down on and off all day 🙃

Just... as someone who was very much there for early 2010s Tumblr, if the one dragon in your lair you advertise as "gay boi" is sexualized yeah I'm gonna raise an eyebrow. I was there for the peak of Phandom. Yuri on Ice. And I had plenty of fujoshis in my high school. So considering the time Rhea was active, the usage of feminine pronouns, and the hypersexualized twink dragon it makes me side eye.

Rhea's gender/orientation is irrelevant here, the dragon would be tasteless and out-of-bounds re: site rating, regardless of the person making it. This topic is veering away from being about FR dragons and going into unnecessary speculation.
