LX47

The other day I was browsing through the inflation websites (including this one) looking for some new inflation pictures to add to my own personal collection.
I was looking at various sources of inflation art that you can find on sites like this-deviant art, cartoon shows, screen caps form various TV shows/Movies, etc.

Anyway, has I was looking through all the galleries I slowly began to realise something that, if I'm honest, I've never really noticed before, not on a website or any cartoon/movie/TV show I've seen since childhood.

What I realised was this:

Of all the THOUSANDS of inflation art, cartoons, screen caps etc that has been around for literally DECADES (in various formats), looking at them I realised that the subjects of the inflation were nearly all ADULTS!

Only a small percentage of inflation actually involves CHILDREN has the source of the inflation.
That's not to say that there aren't any inflation scenes that involve children-I've seen the occasional scene (mostly from a kids TV cartoon shows where children form the main cast of characters), but statistically I think these make up just a FRACTION of the overall global Inflation scene collection that's been amassed over many decades compared with the number of scenes involving adults (both male and female).

Does anyone wonder why this is? Could it be the sexual undertones/fetish tic nature of the context with which Inflation scenes are portrayed on sites like this, and therefore young children (has we all know) should never be associated/connected with such a theme has this in this manner?
I can understand that in cartoons like Tom and Jerry etc the inflation is purely slapstick and done just to amuse children with NO sexual/adult themes implied, but when a sexual context is added to it (like you see in the Gallery section of the forum) does that change everything entirely?

It's generally because children are innocent, and inflation has basically always been somewhat stressfull in some way to the reciever. And if it's fetish based, well, children don't develop fetishes until they are teenagers.
That's just what I think.

I can't say I've noticed this... I've sometimes felt that inflation where the subject is of an appropriate age isn't as common as I'd like where there seems to be loads of age-inappropriate stuff.

Yes. If you really did not come to this conclusion on your own, or if you don't understand why this is the case, you should probably take a timeout and think about things for a bit.

I think the ONLY exception to this that most people feel even remotely comfortable with is Violet Beauregarde, who was a child depicted by a child.

children don't develop fetishes until they are teenagers

This is patently false, but even if it were true it has little bearing on this discussion.

Allow me to clarify, I meant to say they don't really develope sexual fetishes in most cases, or sex at all for that matter until they are teenagers.

From what I've seen on TV, etc., children are typically harmed less than are adults. I agree with "Canadian Guy" that inflation on TV is usually seen as being stressful somehow to the person being inflated. It is easier for an audience, I think, to see an adult being harmed than it is to see a child being harmed. And when a child is embarrassed, hurt, punished, etc. in some way on TV then it is usually to a smaller degree than if it were to be depicted as happening to an adult.

I think all of the above is right but still… There should be some more inflating kids… Pedos exist on all corners of the Internet but that doesn't mean I can't find a picture of a kid online… So long as it isn't hourglass inflation on little girls I don't see inflating kids to be a problem… Because inflation in alone isn't explicit… (Except hourglass) It's only sexual when viewed from the perspective of one with a fetish.

As a matter of fact how about an inflation themed platformer? I think that's a really interesting concept and if I get an engine built it'd be pretty cool to have a child protagonist…

I've noticed that some people on have started questioning the nature of this topic.

I want to reasure them this was NEVER my intention to pull this conversation into this particulary HORRENDOUS area of the porn industry.
Like everyone else here I find that concept both DISGUSTING and ABHORRENT, and I want to reasure everyone that I would NEVER EVER go down that path.

If other people are starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with this conversation then please just SAY and I'll willing stop this thread immediatly.

Now, I believe you and all, and I think that it's cool that you're aware of the potentially offensive nature of this topic, but putting all those negative adjectives in caps and condemning pedophilia so vehemently sort of makes you look like a caricature of a guilty person denying their guilt.

But yes, I think this is a very uncomfortable topic for the vast majority of people. I also think that all of the questions posed have fairly self evident answers.

Well theres Violet.

She is kind of in an area that has very rarely been discussed on anything other than sites like Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Should there be a cutoff date when you are supposed to stop liking those scenes seeing as often you get into this thing pretty early? I did grow out of them but still enjoy tributes to that scene featuring of age women. Despite the nature of the fetish being non-sexual to others it is to us and thus should it be considered out of bounds? People tend to say it is the act of the inflation transformation, and not the character which they enjoy, maybe thats why you're asking this question, but this defence applied to any other field or fetish can make it seem like shaky ground.

Other than that, yeah it seems kind of obvious that given the not always sexual/ sexual nature of our fetish, creators of content who are specifically making things for sexual gratification in some way are going to choose an of age character to carry out their sexual fantasies on. A cartoon company or mainstream writer is likely not even aware of the fetish and just sees a fun joke, gag or plot device to happen.

As i mentioned in a neighbouring topic, picturing not adults is a matter of world-building. And it is connected to the question "What is inflation?" - if you try explaining why girls inflate in your world you inevitably come to a point how did they acquire this ability and who else have it.

Say, in gender direction - do men inflate?

or in age direction - do children, or elderly inflate?

or in species direction - if people inflate, may be cats inflate, too? Dogs, frogs, ducks... ?

I think that's what we're discussing and I'm still curious what each of you think on LX47's subject :)

But do we really need to demarcate who does and does not inflate? It's a meaningless distinction when it only applies to a vague fantasy world. People inflate if authors or artists decide to depict them inflating, and it's almost always for purely sexual reasons. Some people have made up some cool persistent fantasies where these demarcations do apply, like in Limitburster's stories, where the social effects of only women inflating are used as plot elements in stories, but most of the time those restrictions are two dimensional.

Man, I really like Limitburster.

I think animators, writers, and anybody directing them would want to play it safe whenever a child character is involved. any slip up could get parents to freak out.

Although I still stand by my point that inflation isn't sexual and child inflation isn't pedophiliac in nature kidquetzal raises a good point. If you perceive inflating people sexually children should be out of bounds. (Assuming that you are not also a pedophile) But that just means you personally should be object to view such images. Not that they shouldn't exist. (Also LX47… I understand that most people will agree that pedophilia is wrong but it's very immature to shout your opinions assuming that everyone will unanimously agree… I can understand that you don't want people to get the wrong idea but sheesh… Overkill.)

I think all of you are right about sexual/pedo/harassment/etc. And if you are defending your rights of free thinking or your rights of privacy/safety - I'm with you. Good luck.

Also, please mind that in Sweden "pedophilia" is looking in the wrong way on a baby.

And in the Netherlands "pedophilia" is a rape, everything less counts for nothing.

And in my country you have to present at least three documented proofs or witnesses of abusive language/action - the more the better because courts don't like such cases here.

Let's return to the original topic, shall we? ^_^

Excuse me?

I was NOT my intention to start 'shouting' at people, and I apologise if people think I'm giving some kind of morale lecture to them (again, not my intention).
I was merely saying that, like everyone else I find the idea simply dreadful, that's all, and I'm sorry about the whole "Overkill" thing.

On hindsight maybe I should have phrased it a bit better, at least that way people wouldn't have misinterpreted the tone of that post.

I only wonder if this one was your last straw?

Cause that was my impression back then, and the reason for my post above.

Too bad it didn't help.

Good news - one can't get rid a fetish, so you'll come back anyway.

See ya then ^_^
