    The “mother finds this orgasmic” part doesn’t add to how disturbing the concept is though it just makes me feel weird about the writer

      I mean sure, but I don’t think it’s like, bad to be included either. Still serves to make them fucked up imo

      As in, Im reading it as the mother knows that’s what is happening and derives intense pleasure from it that it becomes physical elation

        It’s not like the drow have any choice in the matter. And it doesn’t make any sense that they would find that orgasmic. It’s just a writer’s bizarre fetishes.

        Tiger sharks do that. It makes a certain amount of sense. Though it’s odd that it’s just that one kind of elf. It would fit better for a more monstrous race.

        But the thing about being orgasmic is just bizarre.

          Drow are elves that got twisted specifically by Lloth into hypercompetitiveness among other things.

          It’s cringe but it’s strangely logical cringe.

          There’s actually a lot of metaphysical logic behind the reason there’s like a thousand kinds of elf and they’re all separate races with notable physical differences unlike other groups that mostly settle with “these halflings are taller”

          Tl;Dr elves were originally eladrin, the champion race of good/chaotic. Their chaotic nature means that their children adopt the traits of their environment but as they’re a deliberate Tolkien reference having left their native plane is functionally their original sin, like the elves leaving Valinor in LotR. (Unless I’m misremembering the specifics, but the vibe is still right)

          The entirety of the drow is inspired by old femdom porn mixed with a violent ultra competitive society like the worst of Rome, the middle ages, and cyberpunk corpratism combined. They were considered an evil race for the entire life of that concept.
