It’s the obsession that the author has for the babies, and touching parts of them that make them feel really good, while also going into graphic detail about how these babies suffer. He repeatedly focuses obsessively with their tails, and goes into disturbing detail about how spongey and tender their flesh feels, and then he writes about some awful smurf nappers, which totally aren’t also a stand in for him, pull on their tails, noses, and ears until they sob with pure misery, which is extremely similar to how the author describes himself playing with the babies by being gentle and loving towards them in those areas. Then, he goes into more graphic detail about the babies are beaten and tortured for no reason.
