Good news: RWL is back!
Bad news: She won't draw ponies in NSFW action. The reason lies within the community that uses ponies on their dark fantasy and misogynist drawings or fiction:

Hi! I'm the artist behind themanesex. I feel at once flattered and embarrassed that people are linking my NSFW stuff to feminists I admire.

While I did try, with varying degrees of success, to create NSFW pony art from a feminist point of view, I've come to realize (with the help of blogs like yours) that that's something I can do just as well with other characters, and I won't be drawing that stuff anymore. So I may no longer be an ideal example for people wishing to defend NSFW pony content.

I find it curious that youd expect me to be pro-Molestia. Surely you didnt think, given all my efforts to depict sex as consensual and mutually pleasurable, that I should be perfectly happy with art that aggressively violates all of my values. Perhaps you have some fantasy of me as someone whos so thoughtlessly sex-positive that I think any and all sexual material should be defended and supported. Im afraid thats not the case.

_Im not sure why I should want to coexist peacefully with blogs that make light of rape, or treat it as something sexy, or make comedy or romance out of abuse. This isnt an issue where we can have it both ways. I want to obliterate rape culture. I dont want it across the street from consent culture. I want it to be nowhere.

Let me tell you a secret. I, myself, have many dark fantasies of my own. My sexuality is not always so gentle as you might guess from looking at my porn. Sometimes I experiment with trying to remove the problematic elements of these fantasies and reconstruct them in a positive way, and you can see the results of this in some of my BDSM-themed art. But sometimes I cant. Sometimes theres an idea that really really turns me on, but no matter how I twist it, any way I can think of to depict it would perpetuate harmful ideas.
