>>4713135I'm sorry, but I think nearly every sexual fetish community has a certain lack of emotional depth. That's what happens when the art is created by people who are simultaneously turned on by the art. That's why it's a fetish.
I have a very passionate sex life, and am not autistic (not even close -- I work professionally in sales, which requires a lot of personal interaction and extroversion), but when it comes to transformation, I find it hard to get emotionally involved because it simply turns me on so much that it's hard to focus. My partner is not into TF like I am, so maybe that's why. Maybe if I poured the passion and care into TF that I do into our non-tf sexual stuff, it would reach emotional depth...but I think I'm not the only one in this situation. For most of us, we just have this fetish, and its really rare and really hard to talk to anyone about. So it just becomes purely sexual, and not about emotions.
I hear what you are saying about emotionally immature characters in TF, as well as objectification (I have no idea what you are talkign about hand eye coordination or perception anomalies), and I think that is because, for a lot of us who contribute...its really hard to put a lot of love into the work we do (I have a ton of unpublished works that I may release in the future). No one besides anonymous people on the internet can know about our work, we mostly make it because there is a lack of other people making it, and it causes us to get crazy horny while we make it.
I don't think it's because people who make it are autistic, but I think that the fact that you as a TF artist only exist as a block of text on a website certainly can cause the same "socially/emotionally disconnected" symptoms of autism to infect the work.
I might someday attempt to create something meaningful and long that has to do with tf. But it's hard. And I'll admit, I don't feel that my TF art is as "important" as my "actual" art.
