A Quick Word About Stwawbwewymilk 

"this artist is stwabewwymiwk. now for your sake and my own, this is the only time i will say it like that." i felt that

wait? its all fetish art? Strawberrymilk: always has been.

It's called trauma art, because it causes trauma to anyone seeing it.

as a psychology student, trauma art is NOT that. And 9/10 it’s only shared between yourself, your therapist, or VERY close friends

something about the name "stwawbwewymilk" makes me instantly distrust her ngl

Why does nobody ever mention that typically art therapy is done in a safe space and not shared with other people?

As a trans guy, people using gender identity as an excuse to get away with shit that even a cis person couldn't get away with, makes my blood fucking boil. I normally try to avoid foul language in the RU-vid comments section, but just-- just no. Not this time.

Update: Get your champagne, because they got terminated!

sorry if this out of the context, but her village in ACNH is cute.

As a trans person, it disgusts me that people think that's an excuse to let this be ok

we dont kink shame in this house unless it involves children. then we shame like nobody's business

god gave the wrong person a cute unique art style

Drawing kids like that is definitely not ok, idk how people can say it is lol

Miss Zizi: *Makes new sprites* Everybody: It’s simping time bois

to preface: i am bisexual. i am in the lgbt community. i feel a lot of people whiteknight the lgbt community. yes, a lot of us are sweet and nice and amazing but just because someone is a part of the community does not make them immediately good. i’ve met fellow gay people who fetishize lesbians, and some who are homophobic, transphobic (it confuses me too)- and just because stwawbwewymiwk is trans doesn’t mean that she’s a good person.

Strawberry: Age is just a number Me: *Jail is just a place*

Completely agree. It disgusts me that people are now letting it slide because Aggy calls it trauma art. I think it's possible that it could have been fetish art all along, but once she started getting backlash from onlookers, she claimed it was trauma art.

This woman is the reason i cant look at accual strawberry milk the same way anymore

With SM's logic people can also openly post r*pe art, racist art, sexist art and so on "bceause it's therapy art". Therapy art does not need to be posted, they simply just want a way to feel justified about something wrong

Sexuality, gender, trauma etc should not change how you see someone

I completely agree that Aggy’s art is more of fetish art than “trauma art”. But please understand that trauma art is still *valid* and *important* .I do it myself to break my memory barrier and heal myself from the wound of the trauma I suffered. Aggy’s art is bad, trauma art isn’t.

Vent art shouldn't be an excuse for what this person is doing, their art is still normalizing something that SHOULD NOT ever be considered as normal, and it's potentially hurting people too On a lighter note; the new sprites have an E-girl feel

I have lost my hunger for strawberry milk (the food, not the person.) after watching this video.

theres timws where her art is definitely trauma art, but then theres times where its definitely fetish art and its so jarring. because you go from raw emotion and the inner child of someone screaming to judt... porn. and i hate it bc aggie genuinely has good art when it comes to the ACTUAL trauma art. i remember she made one drawing for puppymilk that had her MC with a giant hole in his torso while a character was talking abt sex iirc, and with that it was obviously trauma art because it can definitely feel like that. just sad and sick, tbhm

Honestly. This "artist" already confirmed on twitter that what they're drawing is porn. Just looking at their twitter for more than 2 seconds will prove that this is their fetish, but once called out on it, they will say "omg you can't call trans ppl pedophiles, they CAN NOT BE pedophiles"??! Like?

trauma art isn’t supposed to be... public... i’m almost certain that whatever “therapy” they’re doing to cope, their therapist wouldn’t recommend posting the art online.

crossdressing isn't wrong to do unless it is sexuallizing a child.

7:15 what happened to the villager's eyes. They were black eyes... now they're red eyes.

Wait if vent art expresses how you feel.... Then drawing sexualized minors.... Um

While aging a character up is a good idea, it's also kind of weird territory. A lot of people just don't put in the effort, simply slapping the child characters head on an adult body. It's creepy to me. If you're going to age up a character, actually put forth the effort of making them look older!

i heard "golden shower" and cried

"Trauma art" can also be labeled "traumacore" but traumacore is also a music genre. Traumacore is confusing. Just to point that out.

The new sprites are so cute ZiZi !!!!!

I've actually heard of this artist before. she went by a different name before that one though. I don't remember it and she claimed that she was a child in that one but I was told by a friend who stays in the loop with those things the artist came out as stating she's an adult but she prefers to think of herself as a child because it makes her feel better about what happened to her. Which honestly, as someone with PTSD and Depression I can kinda get that but I don't think that they should because of fact that I do work with children that have mental disorders and it just seems disrespectful for someone to claim they feel safe as being a child than an adult when there are people out there that will age up physically, but never mentally. It just... That feels icky to me. Now my PTSD is related to my childhood abuse (Mental, physical and sexual) and I do find that as normalizing the whole child sexual abuse in eyes of the public which honestly, no that shouldn't be normalized. That is something that if a child said that "So and so did this" then adults should jump on the case at that moment and get the sexual offender arrested but with people normalizing the art they are also in a way normalizing the act too. I know this from experience (jumping back to my work) I have seen someone who I can't say much about the situation besides they were raped a lot and they were a child. When it was brought up to adults the phrase I heard and made me PHYSICALLY SICK was "What can we do about it?" Like honestly, who in their right mind is okay with that? When I argue they tell me that most of the children get that stuff from the internet from watching or reading stuff that they thought was about their favorite cartoon character but it is like Rule whatever number it is. (I totally forgot, yikes) And so they claim that happened to them because it happened to their favorite character that is close to their age. Or they WANT it to happen to them because it happened to one of the characters they looked up to. So, yes this is a problem. It is a MAJOR problem. It is also very heartbreaking and sad too. Children should be allowed to be children but in the world, they are growing up in it is normalizing things that shouldn't be normal. This shouldn't be a common topic of everyday life but it is.

5:15 well that went from 0-100 real fkn quick

lol even if its "trauma" theres no excuse to draw CP

Stwawbwewwy honestly scares me. It's scary, how she is able to draw things that are 100% CP and yet somehow is able to defend it as "trauma art". There are actual art youtubers who are DEFENDING her because of it. Like "Omg she needs to draw that to get over her abuse". This is so so scary to me, because what she is doing IS WRONG! I was heavily abused as a child too. I am an artist now. Guess what I don't draw? Yep! CP! Being abused is not an excuse to draw porn with minors in them. Plain and simple.

I'm a CSA survivor and I draw, but I would never draw my abuse, especially in a fetishy/romanticised way. I know everybody is different, but I can't imagine how she could draw like that.

My step mom is an art therapist, and I feel the same as you on this, knowing a lot about it.

As a trans/transmasculine person myself, I can definitely say that being trans does not excuse problematic actions, and that calling a trans person out for problematic actions is not transphobic or bigoted in any way. This 'Strawberrymilk' person is disgusting.

(Please be sure to read the full thing. I have realized someone may mistake I am defending aggy, which is absolutely something I would never do.) Hello. I am a child sexual abuse survivor among many other things, and I too use trauma art to cope. While it is not encouraged to share trauma art out in the open surrounding that category, it is just as safe and healthy as any other trauma art. Yes, it indeed will often depict taboo and gruesome situations. Yes, it indeed will often depict disgusting and awful things. Trauma art is obviously not for everyone, but for many it does work. In terms of sharing said trauma art, while one can, it is discouraged to advertise it so out in the open. Especially regarding the current subject we are discussing. Hell, many that make trauma art don't want to share their trauma art so publicly because of how personal it is in the first place. While looking at aggys art, I have noticed a distinct fetishization and sexualization that differs from what trauma art usually displays. For me personally, when I create trauma art relating to being a survivor, it has a surreal, abstract, disgusting and distressing tone to it. Hell, sometimes, it might even have a hint of sexuality in it, but it's always shown in a distressed and slimy manner. It is never shown in a positive light. This is just how It is personally for me. Trauma art varies from person to person. However, for me, I just find aggys art to be more of fetish art than it to be an artistic depiction of trauma. It is very much possible to be her mind coping by fetishizing these situations, but I feel that just crosses the realm of healthy coping to unhealthy coping. (EDIT: I just want to make it clear that I am not trying to defend aggy. My intention is quite the opposite. I am wanting to speak on the subject as someone with experience who has done art therapy, which trauma art fits under, to help my therapist and I understand how I feel while relieving stress. What I am saying is that what aggy is creating feels much more distinct from trauma art, and calling it trauma art actually harms the legitimacy of actual trauma art in the process. That is not even mentioning that sharing trauma art so out in the open as she does is very discouraged. Many are uncomfortable with doing so in the first place, them being very personal. It is very much possible her mind is clinging to these fetishizations to cope, but that crosses into the realm of unhealthy coping and should not be encouraged.)

my guess is she hasn't fully processed her trauma. a lot of trauma survivors (including myself until recently) end up just romanticizing/fetishizing their trauma as a way of "reclaiming their sexuality" or feeling like they're "in control" (if u know nicole dollanganger, her music does a similar thing) when in actuality, it feeds into damaging their self worth and, given stwawbeweymilk's large audience, it can put a lot of bad ideas into the minds of others. i don't blame her, since i know that that's a pretty common thing with sexual abuse victims--they genuinely do feel like they're empowering themselves and sometimes, it actually does benefit their recovery--but i do think it's kinda wack that she's monetizing it all.

I don't understand how she can get away with drawing LITERAL CHILD PORN and labeling it "vent or trauma art"

Her artwork would be illegal where I live in the UK. CP is illegal, even if animated. We had a bloke get done for it and he had gross stuff involving the Simpson Kids and juvenile animé characters.

Although Loli is not the same level as CP, it’s still gross as to why a person would find a character with child-like appearance to be sexy. Also, I appreciate how you talk about this calmly and not letting your emotion taking over.

6:29 EXACTLY! Hello fellow CSA survivor, hope you're doing swell cos I sure ain't and I hope you are are safe and happy. I think vent art, fine, completely fine, until your vent art starts putting children (fake or not) in sexually explicit, fetishising and damaging positions. I'm ok with people drawing that shit privately but it's when it's public? Nah. It hurts CSA survivors as much as it helps them.

its ok to draw nsfw art BUT once you add children thats when you cross the line and them saying its "trauma" art is not an excuse and being trans isn't ether

off-topic but I remember seeing you in the splatoon plaza a couple times, just thought it was cool seeing you there 👉👈

we all got our kinks but this ain't it chief

"Do not diddle kids, its no good diddling kids" - Frank Reynolds

I know all that stuff happened, but.... YOUR ISLAND IS SO GOOD-

4:37 WAIT HOL UP ARE WE JUST GONNA IGNORE THE FACT THAT SHE HAS MORE THAN 1M BELLS-

Another reason why this (the art) is problematic is because she makes MONEY off of it. I get it, have done and have seen trauma art but it gets to a WHOLE new level when it’s *public, *explicit, and *profitable. Last i remember, she holds commissions AND sells her explicit art. SELLS THEM. Fiction still affects reality and while it’s true trauma survivors could be buying her work, but it scares me to think about the P/d/s and other creepy people buying her comics and art for inappropriate reasons.

ARE WE GONNA IGNORE WHEN JACQUES SAID “DAD LEFT ME” YEAH I SAW THAT

I dont understand why is cross dressing is mentioned next to the disgusting fetsihes. Kids can cross dress and its not inherently sexual only if the person intends it to be.

On the topic of aging up characters, I find it slightly weird still. By drawing them in a sexual fashion you at least had some sort of attraction to them as a minor to motivate you to draw them. I think it’s a lot less worse though if the characters are older (like older teens who can pass as young adults) but when they do it to literal children I get the ick. For ex. Miles Morales and Wendy from gravity falls VS. The rug rats babies… In my opinion, the latter is so much more disturbing. Edit: And just to clarify I’m a minor and I’m not defending Pedos or MAPS those people genuinely suck.

The thing about drawing trauma art is that… you really don’t have to post it. Why put out content that allows creeps to groom kids and hurt them in the same way you were hurt? Not posting vent art is still therapeutic and doesn’t perpetuate the cycle. Just my thoughts but… calling it a coping mechanism doenst excuse the content

Freedom of expression is not the same as freedom from consequences or criticism... if that makes sense.

As someone that was s*xually abused as a child, i would never do that kind of disgusting stuff. If i wanted to vent about what i lived, i would censor scenes that should be censored (and that she apparently doesn't do). For me, this really isn't a way at all to vent about anything. You don't have to show every single disgusting thing to make people understand. And sharing the scenes could traumatise children for example. Anyways, this is absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be labeled as "trauma art".

Gosh even the name, “puppy milk” disgusts me, and irritates me. I lost appetite by hearing that name. Out of everything else in the whole world, they cant think of anything else, aside from milk, milking, and getting milked.

And the amount of people on her twitter supporting her is enough to make me lose hope in humanity

I’m a strong believer in artist freedom and being able to create anything you want, but that comes with criticism too. If someone wants to draw minors in sexually explicit ways, they deserve every heap of flack they get.

I may not be a survivor of CSA, but I am a child. Please don’t sexualize me. I beg of you, *please.*

9:14 I was caught so off guard when you said splatoon manga I have like- so many questions- I love coroika so much-

Vent art is valid. You have every right to draw your trauma, etc. There's nothing wrong with THAT. What IS wrong is putting it on a public platform to be consumed either willingly or unwillingly. You can't control what happened to you in the past and you can't really be shamed for doing what you need to do to cope IN PRIVATE or between you and your therapist. It's when you thrust that shit onto other people and fling it into public spaces where it can HARM OTHERS does it become an issue. TL;DR: So the "my trauma art tho" excuse doesn't fly sorry strwabuddy

Aaaand THIS is why I avoid Twitter! The good doesn’t outweigh the bad, hell the good couldn’t outweigh a FEATHER.

3:29 I don't think incest is something "average to draw" XD

I think the difference between strawberry's art and actual trauma art, even in depicting the same themes, is that hers is too aesthetically pleasing and "clean," if that makes sense. It lacks the intensity of someone going through a traumatic moment, like being messy or distressing to look at. Hers is very deliberate and includes anime blushes.

Do you think, God stays in heaven because he’s afraid of what he created?

I’m sorry but there is no way they drew child porn and don’t prey/are into kids. That’s such a specific disgusting fetish that it can’t be excused in ANY way

The fact that some people here are actually defending them-

I’m someone who uses age regression as a coping mechanism for stuff that happened In the past, I don’t like when people think I’m talking about it as a kinky thing, cause for me it’s not a kink, its a coping mechanism...I hope someone understands what I’m talking about ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Stay safe and have a wonderful day/night

as a sex abuse survivor who uses my art to vent about it, her art is fetish art. i cant see it any other way its just that disgusting

this is my first video i watched and I’m in love with everything!!time to binge watch this whole channel 🥲

trauma art is also not posted on the internet. I know some people romanticize their own abuse because their mind wants to twist up that memory to make it seem less horrible, and that is like the only reason I can think of where drawing shit like that is ok, but its not something you should post on the internet, even if it is real legitimate therapy art

0:38 your animal crossing gameplay hurts me

Their name is “stwawbwewymilk” wow how cwingey

4:23 did you know that the consumption of it is also illegal?

im a csa survivor and i draw vent art abt it but i never post that stuff bc i dont think it should be shown around and bc someone could see it as something its not

I agree that this art is 100% not okay, it's sickening to look at and if it is trauma art like SM claims, why post it online? Or at least have some sort of warning. This kind of art could be triggering for other child SA survivors. Trauma art to this extreme should be shown to your therapist, not to thousands of weirdos online that fetishize this crap.

People can draw what ever they want but there is always a line that under no sercomstants should be crost. Also I love your new sprite.

Why Trauma Art is often more colorful, from the perspective of a person who's therapist told her to do it 'cuz it might help (it did, btw): It's easier to express what happened through more abstract concepts sometimes. Concepts like color association. Red isn't always the right color for the situation. Sometimes blue or even green fit better depending on what it is you're trying to portray. One of the pieces I did for these sessions was entirely unlike my normal style, consisting only of blobs of differing colors, because the emotional impact of the thing I was trying to portray was too great for defined lines and shapes to express.

3:26 some of those things still wouldn’t be ok even if they weren’t children.

I had no idea who this person was until this video, so I did the absolute stupidest thing I could do and looked her up. And oh my god it's even worse than I thought. I need brain bleach...

If you know that your art comes from a place that is... traumatic, and that shows things that are very taboo and uncomfortable to talk about, would the correct place to share that art be a very public platform... and not with like... a therapist, people you trust, people you consider family that are helping you through these things?

Map will never be apart of the lgbtq community

Something i find ironic about this video is that the first two shows that come to mind when i think about child n*dity in media is big mouth and south park, two shows which you have done speedpaints for. god the irony is insane

Video is done. *TIME TO SIMP.*

Another CSA survivor here, I can kind of understand if these are in fact vents and trauma art but why would anyone post that kind of thing publicly if you know it could trigger someone else.

Hello, trans person here. THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE ANYTHING! (Thanks Miss Zizi for making a video on this btw!)

That ad placement was perfect

3:16 wait a damn minute... drawing incest and molestation is okay if it’s with adults???..?.??

i brought this up to the artist and her cronies attacked me.

I hate that her art style is so nice. I can’t believe I just admitted that. But still. I hate her kind of art, but her art style itself is pretty visually pleasing. I’m having an emotional struggle here.

As a minor im disgusted by how people my age get s3xu4l1z3d in so many ways because other people are satisfied by that.There is a difference between vent art and just s3xu4l1z1ng

I feel like milk is using "trauma art" as an excuse for it being gross. While trauma art is a real exercise but the way they do it doesn't seem like it aside from maybe some of puppymilk which I haven't actually read.

Miss zizi makes me depressed in a good way

Fun fact: Aggy once unironically said MAP rights, fucking ew

stwawbwewymilk has more W's in their username than in my life man 💀 (no wins for them)

As a CSA and abuse survivor I’ve never felt the need to draw vent art to cope, I do art to help me escape bad mindsets and to cope, drawing stuff that reminds me of those negative feelings or events that happened just push me in the opposite direction. However, I support those who decide to, because, idk it’s not my art therefore it’s not my choice what someone else draws? But with that in mind I feel like if you post vent/trauma art online you should at the least add trigger warnings or tags or some kind of filter so that if it’s something that bothers others they can avoid it, I think it’s obvious that if it’s something that bothers you to the point of venting you should kind of expect it might be triggering to others and that’s kind of something you should avoid.
