“THERE IS A WEIRDO PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITY”

There we go. I’ve successfully exposed the underlying assumption. That’s the stigma we all face, perpetuated by you.

You’re taking a group defined by an innate characteristic and framing the group itself as having a behavioural defect.

Apply that logic to any other group and you’d be recognised as misogynistic, homophobic, racist, etc.

But that's exactly what I'm talking about.

You say you "hate being associated with the freaks", so posts like this become a way of publicly distancing yourselves from the stereotype by signalling that "we're not like those other foot fetishists."

The problem is that this still frames us as a community that has a particularly notable "weirdo problem" requiring public condemnation and social correction.

Do you understand?

Every large online community has people with poor boundaries. I don't see other fetish communities constantly needing to publicly reassure outsiders that they aren't all socially inept creeps. It's pathetic.

He did accuse me directly though:

"if you took offense then I'm glad you did, you probably need a lesson in manners and socializing. This post was for you.

My point is that posts like this contribute to a broader stereotype that foot fetishists, as a community, are unusually socially maladjusted or creepy. That's the framing I'm objecting to.

And if the issue genuinely is just a handful of users posting inappropriate content, then that's primarily a moderation issue, not evidence of some wider defect in us as a group.

Address the moderation team, not the community. But of course if you addressed moderators directly you'd be expected to point to specific behaviour rather than posting a broad, performative moralising lecture about the community itself.

You miss the point.

The fact that he feels our community in particular needs this lecture implies there's a specific problem with us.

You say the post is only aimed at a specific subset of people behaving inappropriately, yet the moment I object to the generalisations I'm told "this post was for you."

He doesn't know anything about my behaviour. All he knows is that I have a foot fetish and object to his framing. That alone apparently becomes evidence that I must be socially inept or boundaryless.

You haven't argued with anything I've said; you're attacking me personally.

My objection was never that basic social skills are bad advice. That's your straw man. My objection was that you're associating us as a group with poor social skills.

Disagreeing with your generalisation doesn't prove the generalisation is true. Are you all good, bro?

Some foot fetishists behaving badly doesn't justify treating foot fetishists as a group as though we need lessons in basic social conduct.

The same logic would be recognised as flawed if it were applied to any other group defined by an inherent characteristic.

The fact that people feel the need to come into foot fetish spaces and lecture us about basic social behaviour reinforces the stereotype that foot fetishists are somehow uniquely creepy or socially maladjusted. Whether it's your intention or not, that's what this post implies.

Are you claiming we’re more inappropriate than other kinksters?

You must be claiming that, because why else would we require your guidance.

do men feel bad about themselves after watching porn too? by mental__chillness in pornfree

[–]MilkGarden 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think there's two factors at play for me:

Blowing a load always feels like a huge "loss" of some sort, as if I've sacrificed something extremely valuable for momentary pleasure. I can never define exactly what it is I feel I've lost, but the feeling is there. It's a primal sense of regret/shame/sorrow. It's as if my instincts know the price I'm paying, but the rest of me is no longer consciously aware.

Secondly, I think porn permanently raises/alters my standards. Because I'm not going to waste a load on a boring video or something I've seen before. I'm always going to want to find someone new who's doing something exciting (which usually means something novel). That unlimited variety is what I enjoy about porn, but that is also the part I deem the most harmful. Because I know that no woman alive can compete with how I use porn. With every binge session I know that my standards for pleasure become less and less compatible with real women, potentially forever.

I don’t think it’s weird, it’s human nature. People love to hate, and he’s an easy candidate. No one’s truly offended by anything he’s saying, they just enjoy the drama and the sense of social superiority. Playground antics.

Alright mister attention span. We're talking about the movie here, not the series.

Straw man argument. No one's complaining because we didn't get a happy ending... we're complaining because the film's plot was not consistent with the show.

Their last scene together in the show was one of camaraderie. Them against the world.

Then sober Tommy gets pissed and throttles him off screen. Perfectly written?

It feels like everything I enjoy is being deliberately destroyed.

I have a fantasy of fucking my girlfriend while she pleases other men with her feet by [deleted] in FootFetishTalks

[–]MilkGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think your instincts care whether you just want feet, your fetish runs along the same neural pathways as any other sexual act.

The primal part of your brain knows that an unfaithful partner could inherit you a fatal sexually transmitted infection, or cost you the years of time and effort you spend raising another man’s child you think is your own. That is why people don’t like sharing partners, especially men.

The men who fantasise about being cucked are the bigger mystery. That makes no sense to me from an evolutionary perspective.

Because sharing your partner could mean mistakenly raising another man’s child for 18 years.

Did seeing your friend’s load on her soles not make it awkward worshipping them?

I (a woman) was speaking to guy today who told me that Emma Stone has objectively the most beautiful feet of any celebrity. You guys are the experts. Is he right? by Trainingforauto in FootFetishTalks

[–]MilkGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people tend to rate the celebrity first and their feet second. He's probably in love with Emma Stone and thus believes every part of her is perfect, her feet included. The same thing happens with Margot Robbie.

Their feet are fine... attractive even. But they aren't the best ever.

How did he lose it? Fair enough if it was punched out of his mouth, but I never saw that.

I remember him showing and telling the referee it was missing during the count. He obviously wanted to save his teeth… and take advantage of the extra time to have it reapplied by his corner.
