You too are drinking from the sippy cup, you are not free from being viewed as a degenerate in their eyes...

They think by labeling what they're doing as pet play separates them from the 'evil icky age players >:(' , as if they aren't calling their partner daddy/mommy or big/little sibling isn't also a form of ageplay.

Of course! Somepony ought to babysit!
We'll get you some cheerios, and have a playdate!

It is! We're all adults, from as young as early 20s to as old late 60s, and that's just from what I have personally seen as a self identified ABDL/babyfur.
Minors are not welcomed in our spaces. Interacting with minors while trying to identify with our community is not welcomed. Full stop.

Also to clarify, I too find it funny to a degree, though time and place can make it hard to express. However, looking back on things retroactively can be objectively a little silly, however being silly people cannot prevent us, from being people who seek positive change and awareness. :)
No hate. <3

This could 'fix' me.... >w<

Sometimes I listen to lullabies too, when I need some kind of white noise, and rain sounds aren't enough. Can't forget one of blankies too, I thrift them, and love to wash them weekly to keep their scent fresh. My plushies are in need of a spa day though. :3

I set up my plushies, I like our cuddle pile a certain way, so each one has a chance to get cuddled with. I also make my bed right after to tuck them in together, I'd already put on my night-time pamp at that point too. It's something between my plushies and I, it's very comforting.
