Stuck in quicksand bondage4/16/2024 There's Axel-Rosered's similar work, featuring women who've suddenly gained weight by means of sci-fi or magic. There are gamer-artists like Metalforever, who depicts Princess Zelda, Samus (the heroine of Nintendo's Metroid franchise), and female pokémon trainer with giant bellies (because they've just consumed too much food). Or you have the creatures from Pokémon crawling into the womb of the female Pokémon trainer, or conversely, a man crawling into the womb of the fire-maned horse pokémon named Rapidash, and just chilling out there. Gamer-artists also fetishize about returning to the womb-a fetish called "unbirth." Princess Peach's womb will do. Of course, this isn't the only fetish artists are throwing women from video games into. I chose a model and had a bunnygirl suit sent to the producer." The closest I got was commissioning a scene with Damsels in Distress Visual Productions. "Once in a while, I'd fantasize about it," wrote A-020, who said he's "a child of the 80s." "But I'm not in a position to do something like that. Looking at a voyeuristic quicksand scene in the 1961-era Ursus, it appears that there is a very long tradition in other mediums of damsels having spontaneous orgasms when under duress (the YouTube comments below the clip seem hyper-aware of the sexualized undertone of the performance.)īut it seems like it would be hard or impossible to replicate this fetish in real life. Sarkeesian demonstrated this with a soundclip that sounded like a woman having sex, but was actually the battle grunts from a female character in the game League of Legends. Sarkeesian has spoken at length about the game medium's history of damseling women and in one of her recent talks, " Eight things that devs can do to make games less shitty for women" she called on game developers to eliminate sexualized female voice acting in games, saying, "Start with trying to make pain actually sound painful instead of orgasmic." Watching the quicksand clips from those films on YouTube reminded me of a point feminist game critic Anita Sarkeesian had made recently about the representation of women in games. "Some of those films I recall seeing were Beastmaster, Neverending Story, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and Ursus in the Valley of the Lions." "I was pretty young, maybe 7 or 8, when I started seeing quicksand scenes in a movie or a TV show," A-020 told me, when asked about the circumstances where he first realized he was into quicksand imagery. "Though when it comes to knowing me in person, it's pretty much a secret! I haven't been in a situation where I had to reveal this fetish." "I'm open with it online because I'm comfortable under a screenname," wrote A-020, who prefered to communicate with me only through Deviant Art's Note system. ![]() ![]() But my own look into the matter shows that the majority of quicksand artists on the site identify themselves as male. Some artists don't list a gender on their Deviant Art profile, and I did find a couple female quicksand artists.
