I guess the biggest problem with tentacle porn is that it seldom has a positive message
Yesss
Need more consentacles in the world
… hmm. now i am trying to decide if my own consensual tentacle fic has a positive message.
messages it has:
- the form of a program follows its function, and some functions take unusual forms. Like if you are a calculator who needs to calculate in both decimal and hexadecimal, you might be born with six extra appendages besides the usual ten decimal-counting fingers.
- such variations are within the expected diversity of program bodies, and a kind and loving program like Ram can see beauty in all of them.
- it is possible for a character to be both a pure sweet cinnamon roll and a total slut. This is achieved simply by loving his fellow programs and wanting to help them with all of their needs, future or present.
- it is also possible for tentacle pr0n to be totally non-penetrative and for the partner with tentacles to be completely subby. I know, it surprised me a bit too
- if you start writing a story off the premise “ha ha Crom was played by the same guy as Londo from Babylon 5 so what if he also has sexy tentacles” you are not guaranteed to get a funny crackfic. Not even if Crom’s sexy tentacles are meant for counting in hexadecimal. You still have to contend with the unfortunate fact that if Crom got laid by Ram, it was definitely “i know you’re gonna die soon” goodbye sex… and like it or not, this is destined for a sad, bittersweet ending.
