Sontails is a ship I treasure. Content like this: https://x.com/pachirizuu/status/1893778892982219211/photo/1 ruins the reputation of sontails fans. Don't harass this person,just know that they do not represent us sontails shippers as a whole. We don't condone p***philia in any way, shape, or form.

What are you doing here?
I completely understand your concerns, and I want to acknowledge that this is a complicated situation. While I recognize that vent art serves as a coping mechanism, that doesn’t mean we have to be comfortable with it or accept it within our own spaces.
For many of us, SonTails is something deeply meaningful, and seeing it depicted in this way—especially with such heavy themes and without content warnings—can be extremely unsettling. It’s natural to feel protective over something we treasure, and it’s also valid to feel disturbed when it’s used in a way that conflicts with that.
At the same time, vent art doesn’t always follow logic. People use their comfort characters in deeply personal ways, even if those ways are difficult for others to understand. That doesn’t mean we have to engage with it, and it certainly doesn’t mean we can’t express our discomfort.
Ultimately, I think the best thing we can do is focus on fostering a space where SonTails is celebrated in a way that aligns with how we see it. Our own headcanons and interpretations matter just as much, and we don’t have to let something like this define our community.
And for the record, I don’t think you come across as mean at all. This is simply a natural response when it comes to characters we love and care about.
I recognize and empathize with the fact that it's a form of coping with trauma, but to me, it's very disturbing to project it onto Sonic and Tails in particular instead of, say, OCs, as that wouldn't harm many individuals like myself who treasure sontails innocently. Plus, the fact that the particular art has been made public for easy access to anybody without any content warnings, especially the heavily explicit underage r*pe, which is triggering to me personally and many others I'm sure. I've also noticed the artist doesn't seem to care how their art could affect people, mocking those who call out it's immoral nature.
I'm not trying to come across as mean or whatnot (apologies to you and the artist if I did). I just wanted to clarify and share my concern for our community.
Much love.
I’ll admit that I’m personally uncomfortable with it because it goes against my headcanon. I’ve always seen SonTails as a relationship that evolves naturally over time—from close friends to something more as they grow older. Given how strong their bond already is, I see that transition as something that could happen later in life.
At the same time, I also recognize that there are over seven billion people on this planet, and everyone copes in their own way. In this case, through personal conversations, I’ve come to understand that this particular art is venting art—a way to process and express past trauma from childhood.
For most of us, it won’t make logical sense, and we’re not psychiatrists. But art isn’t always meant to follow logic. It can take a million different forms, serving as a vessel for emotions that are difficult to put into words. Sometimes, the very thing that feels objectionable is used as a way to confront and release past pain.
That doesn’t change the fact that it makes many people uncomfortable—I won’t deny that. And unfortunately, it’s also something that invites a lot of negativity from both sides. Antis will weaponize it to attack, while many SonTails fans won’t want to be associated with it because it doesn’t reflect how they see the ship.
It’s a difficult situation, to say the least. But at the end of the day, I’m not here to judge how someone copes with their past—I can only acknowledge my own feelings while respecting theirs.
