I feel silly now, I'm never thinking about guys being such utter freaks all the time. Makes perfect sense to be weirded out given this behaviour. It simply did not occur to me because this type of behaviour does not factor into my assessment of kink. Why would it? Who would do this? Do not do this.
Also I'm pretty sure there are groups of people online who do just that kind of stuff. Thinking back to a leddit thread about "unusual fetishes" and some guy said "women with clothes on", to which another replied " going outside must be a blast for you".
Good god, the coomers are evolving past their weaknesses. They can't be defeated by going outside anymore!
To be entirely fair to the foot fetishists, their reputation is being smeared by a small group of them that the whole can't really police. Think of a counter factual of the library annecdote: if some guy was taking secret pics of students' breasts, it would be seen as him being gross as opposed to people who like breasts being gross.
Yeah Idk if that's fair... I guess it's only because nobody wants to be seen sticking up for feet enjoyers.
Yeah, I think it's the ick factor that works against the feet dudes. Anyone defending them will be seen as one of them.
There's a lot of social significance around this kink which is deeply fascinating! I figured that there must be a good reason for people freaking out, but am socially illiterate and so did not know until told โจ
Generally, don't clothes fetishes refer to a specific type of clothes?
Yes, but the commenter was not specific. It was possibly a bit.
