I'm curious to know what "bearophile" means?


At first, I thought this alias was innocent enough, but after visiting your 
much promoted site (promoted in the D community), I'm not so sure what to 
think.  I almost blanched at some of the content and greatly regretted having 
visited it.


If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I ask you consider carefully 
the implications of some of your the creature fantasies that you blog about. 
 I'm surprised nobody else has complained.  Or maybe I should not be so surprised 
considering how politically incorrect it is to challenge any ideology (or 
fantasy, for that matter) even if it be so morally bankrupt so as to be considered 
extreme indeceny and deviance by any number of different cultural standards. 
 The implications there as graphically displayed, while not quite clear, 
are in the direction of bestiality... and if not, are confused enough as 
to be presumptiously indifferent to any ethical question about the horrible 
nature of it.


You are not doubt quite bright, as your other interests and participation 
in D design have made clearly evident.  But I just can't believe such content 
is so closely linked to this group and the D design process.  I should think 
you would be embarrassed.  I know I am to have been subjected to it.


If you're shocked that I'm confronting you openly on this, the reason lies 
squarely in the fact that you are boldly and unashamedly displaying the material 
in a site that is linked here multiple times; and I believe such boldness 
warrants the same measure of confrontation in return.  I hope you will change 
your mind about the material.  I'd wish both your mind on the matter and 
the material would completely change, but I don't have the right to request 
much more than that you disassociate it completely with your dealings with 
D, so that those it concerns  don't have to be involved in the particulars 
of your fantasies whenever you link your site here.


Of course, it is equally people's right here to support you in your freedom 
to display such things (while providing the links here).  If they do, however, 
it speaks volumes about peoples general apathy to the downward spiral of 
society where increasingly indecent content is seen as normal and harmless. 
 This is a great shame, and I'd be sorry to see that people don't care anymore.


For those that see this as flamebait, I request that you do not respond. 
 I just felt somebody had to say something about this.  If this is perceived 
to be libelous, I ask that you consider carefully how damaging your content 
is to others, and the feelings it might engender in its viewers.  Thus, you 
should recognize that this post merely elucidates on what's already evident.
