BARA IS DIYING

 As much as i disagree with this idea i seen a lot of artists using it latelly and is easy to understand why. Theres very few active bara artists by now, many of them turned into furry and the AI slop images dosnt help either.....i already seen a guy from the old Y! Gallery rejecting his 20 years of bara comic in order to turn 100% AI mass producer.

The truth is bara was a minority back at the begining of the century, it was a tiny part of the adult fandom at the shadow of the titan called Yaoi and while it get more recognition with time, in the end it seems is still at the shadow of both Yaoi and Furry art. I even got the feeling its even at the shadow of the shota comunity as well.

I find it odd that after soo long, human muscle men still dosnt have the same traction muscle animals have. Even in my country we have like 5 different 100% furry conventions against a single bara convention that is 60% furry. Its pretty easy to see it on twitter as well when a high quality bara art from a popular artists get 800 likes while a high quality furry art from a popular artist got 20 000 likes. The difference is brutal.

Then again, i love furry art and i love many of theyr artists and characters and i dont think they did something wrong, quiet the opposite. Furry comunity is pretty prone to bullying given they likes a more "evident" and they have firsuits and such things soo they had to join as a comunity and build a strong bonding between them and somehow, this has turned them into a huge powerhouse of resourses to the point at times, it looks like furry will conquer the world.

While bara artists are like islands on the sea of the internet. We seen each other as companions but we have yet to buid a strong fanbase like furrys does, and thats why we are still a niche inside a niche inside a niche and i feel guilty for it as well since i stoped drawing for a long time already and i am not doing my part.

I dont think bara will die but i do hope someday it cames out of the shadows and get the recognition it once started to had. I hope more bara artists appeare and more of the old artists came back as well. Hope i can do my part soon because bara needs a much stronger presence rigth now.
