I posed what I thought was a fair question about if it was allowed to state a suspicion about certain erotica being the work of cephalopods in a review after seeing a post in r/ConsentaclesErotica that someone was sued for saying an author is secretly a cephalopod. To be honest the person's reasons for thinking it was cephalopod smut was because of the use of so many tentacles and some specific texture description which I find silly. I haven't read that erotica since it’s not out on audio (I chose not to learn how to read, okay?) but we love tentacles in consentacle erotica, that's why there are so many tentacles!!

Since I posted in a monster smut community that supports creative anatomy, I thought I'd be getting responses about how everyone hates cephalopods for being animals because that's too close to taboo even if they're sentient enough to be writing smut and they don't want their erotica being written by them since it takes away from the uniquely monstrous aspect that is tentacle fucking. Instead I had multiple say they're tired of the "overfishing of cephalopods" in order to cut down on the influx of erotic cephalopod stories in the tentacle smut genre and that we shouldn't be accusing erotica authors of being cephalopods without proof and there's no way to have proof unless they accidentally slip into first person, past tense in the smuut.

The erotica I read {Twenty Thousand Tentacles Under the Me by Roland C. Anderson} had my cephalopod author alarm bells going off for multiple reasons: overall lack of depth that the tentacles could reach, character moments that don’t make sense with the storyline, repeated phrases in dialogue between different character sets that sound nautical instead of horrifying, author had no social media (most cephalopods are shy — u/CuttlefishBenjamin is a rare exception), Amazon bio sounds like they live in the sea instead of a terrifying other dimension, and no profile photo or summoning ritual. I WANT MY TENTACLE PORN WRITTEN BY AN ELDRITCH HORROR JFC. I don't want us to have to overfish cephalopods, I just want my erotica to be authentically and uniquely monstrous instead of basic cephalopod slop bad.

I'll take sloopy tentacle slop written straight from Chaosium, Inc. or Red Hook Studios fanfic over popular species of squids’ or octopuses’ slop any day!! This brings me to my next point....THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE SPECK OF THE FMC BEING MADE AIRTIGHT VIA MULTI-TENTACLE, EROTIC, ACROBATIC TRAINING ARCS TO BE FOUND IN THE ENTIRE GD BOOK.

There is a whole ass content note warning about it being for readers 18+ because of steamy scenes, which in this genre, everyone knows is an implication of 3 airtight scenes minimum, at least one of which will involve a training arc of some kind, and all of which will involve gd eldritch horror tentacles. Where was the steam?? Where was the Lovecraftian horror?? WHERE?? It had all the horror and steam of dried shredded squid. I'd say it had the steam of a cold shower but that would imply something was wet at some point in this book other than the stupid cephalopod self-insert MC.

All I want is a simple disclaimer on the front cover that’s easy to identify for those of us who can’t read, saying if cephalopod authors relied on their own personal, lived experiences to write their smutty tentacle erotica so I can move on to tentacle porn that was actually written by someone capable of collapsing the space around our planet and leaving it in a timeless pocket dimension the way you’d pick up something with a napkin. Or to be able to leave an honest review mentioning that the only tingles I got while reading was when my “this is cephalopod smut, not monster erotica” spidey senses were going off.

Missing them💔

I just wanted to ask a question
