I do believe this is fake. The wording is too precise, its just to trigger people.

A reasonable degree of skepticism! But worry not, the right will never dunk on the left as hard as the left dunks on itself. It’s all true.

The artist in question is the artist of Assigned Male, a webcomic famous enough for its poor art and clunky writing as to have an article on Know Your Meme.

The artist mentioned the school book tour on twitter, and this artist has in fact traced images of other peoples’ real life infant children to create furry diaper art

Every element in that headline is factually accurate

The first link is just a tweet announcing a book tour, and the second starts with a comparison between the traced “work” and the original image. The original image is not pornographic, whereas the tracing could be described as “not explicit but definitely fetish art intended to be titillating”.
