Description

Night Mist is an orphaned young colt Luna bumped into in the city of Canterlot. While seeing he was a bat pony alicorn was surprising, his tiny foalish form, and timid personlity won her over. You could say maternal instincts kicked in, and she adopted him as her son. Luna let’s her new son nurse from her to help strengthen her motherly bond with him, and believes that her son should choose when to ween himself. Even though his fangs have already come in, they are too soft to cause Luna any discomfort. And she finds the scene cute when he nurses.

Just to say, the art piece and story are aiming for a cute, family bonding moment.
 
So, I hope we can leave it at that, and just let people comment on whether they find it cute or not?
 
Sorry, but debates went off the deep end on this, and I hadn’t intended for this art request to get debated about so much.

I feel you are using only a few real life cases. I have read plenty of stories where the mother let their child decide when to wean themselves, and many of them stop at a certain age in their childhood. 5 to 6 years old appeared to be the norm from what I read.
 
But it is your opinion, so I will not dictate how you view the story. You’re entitled to your opinion.

It seems to be when the breasts are on full display. This one is specifically made to be “safe” with the boobs being so flat and Night Mist having his hoof against Luna’s belly to obscure the one he isn’t drinking from.

Yeah, but you have some who find this kind of art to be, what they call, “ideologically sensitive”.
 
I don’t know why they do. It’s like saying art of a child napping on their parent’s shoulder is “ideologically sensitive”.

Well, the subject of the MLP short is in it’s title. So, I’m assuming you can deduce what the short is about.
 
Only reason I don’t want to give things in full detail, is because I don’t want to spoil the short for those who haven’t seen it that want to and wish to avoid spoilers.

It shouldn’t be. When breastfeeding isn’t sexualized (e.g. using it for its intended purpose of feeding babies), it should be tagged as safe. If it’s used in a sexualized manner (e.g. an adult using it in foreplay), then it shouldn’t be tagged as safe. It’s not rocket science.
