Why isn't your Changed books rated mature?

@TranquilClaws Well, fetishes are an excuse to sexualize about everything that exists, in that case it's the sexualization of a furry infection concept (or whatever one would call it), but the bad reputation it had from the game "permanently" turned transfur into a fetish, Changed has a huge influence over the furry fandom, heck, the whole internet. Let's face it, there's no hope left for transfur, it has been ruined for many, no matter the way you see or use it, people will mostly believe you are into it sexually even if it isn't true, this is another reason I lost faith in it, because I was sick and tired of people calling me a degenerate with a gross kink (even though I'm aroace), it was painful, really painful, and when I still see people having faith in it, I want to save them from this torment they'll face in the future. As for the stories... well Dizzy did say the story leans more toward an NSFW side so that just tells more about you two than anything else (again, no offense, I'm not kink shaming). This goes for the last thing I will say, regarding DragonSnow's controversies, he is a scammer and accused of... something, you know the thing that most people get accused of nowadays. Making these stories about his game makes you indirectly support him and his creations, I know there's this saying about "Separate the art from the artist" but when the art reflect the artist's personality and gross ideology, it just brings more bad stuff in the end. I'm not trying to get drama started, or cancel other's projects, I just want to raise awareness about this so called "concept", but you do what you want, I can't stop you from doing what you like, no one can, I just hope you know where you're going with this.

@OneofManyVictims I don't think being fetishized by one group of people inherently ruins a concept. I mean, it's not like door handles are ruined for everyone because some people love them a little too much... By saving the concept of transfur, I mean more in the sense of giving something to the minority of people who have faith in transfur as a SFW concept. I'm not going to tell the "bad" people that their sexualized interpretation is wrong. It is their interpretation to have, and I have no problem going on some small side project and giving them something more explicitly tailored to that. No, what I really mean when I say saving transfur is providing a cultural landmark for those who see the good in it to gather around. While DragonSnow goes off making something that leans more towards that fetish audience, I'll happily make my interpretation of transfur a more morally complex sci-fi level concept and then remake it into something wholly original and separate from the deception found in Changed.

@TranquilClaws So if I get this straight, you two don't have a transfur kink at all, if that's so and if you're really trying to save transfur, then I just find it sad, even today people still try to see it as a concept and some people just look forward the SFW part of it. Some people got hurt mentally by trying to keep their "faith" for it and they eventually gave up on this faith knowing there isn't any way to turn transfur into a SFW concept, trust me, I tried, a lot of other people tried, but this game and the transfur "concept" is just a lost cause and it's just better to drop it now. It got most of us traumatic experiences. Of course, I'm not forcing anything to you or anyone, about the whole give up thing, but just know that now, these stories will mostly attract those who are into it sexually, especially with the game it's based on. In the end, it's DragonSnow's fault that Changed has been ruined and got transfur popular in a bad way, all just because he claimed his game to be SFW. I do agree on one thing though, transfur could have lots of potential for story telling without the sexual stuff tied to it, but it's inevitably ruined due to its fetish nature, it's a double edge sword. Like I said, if only things went differently...
