Whenever I think of foot fetishists I think of the anime character Rin Tohsaka, because of her name.
“Watch your piggies, Rin Toe Sucker is coming!”
I gotta steal part of that name for my next Gloomhaven character
Definitely the Rin part, right?
My take on feets: I don’t think about them in my fantasies or anything, but if they’re there IRL, they represent a further opportunity to add to the other person’s pleasure, so I’ll have a go on them. But I don’t get turned on by the act of licking soles in and of itself. I’ve never seen a pair of feet and thought “daaaaaaaaaaamn, those are some HOT feets!” no more than I’ve seen a garden fence and thought “burn down all other fences, 'cause THIS is the one!” Although, I’m sure I’ve seen plenty of feet that caused my neutrality to dip into disgust (like my own, for example). But beyond that, I don’t think about them at all. They’re just an extra button on my controller in the indecipherable non-localised Slavic RPG that is the female orgasm.
You got my upvote
Gotta love the footies. They’re harmless and locked in. At the rabbit hole that is sexual fetishes, they just hang around the entrance… looking down.
I don’t think about feet at all, until a story like this pops up.
You perfectly summed up footies, normies love to bug them for the weirdness but honestly, pretty wholesome all told.
They are not all wholesome. There are bad actors.

I mean, I’m comfortable considering the folk you’re citing outliers. They may all be outlying the same creepy way, but they’re not part of our distribution curve dammit
I think we must have had very different experiences in life. I think the only fetish I ever hear about in the news in a ‘bad way’ is feet.
In the past two or three decades, I want to say there have been at least one or two stories per year about some cop in the area letting people off of tickets if they’ll let the officer lick their feet. We have incredibly large furry conventions, anime conventions, tattoo conventions, reptile owner conventions, and probably more that touch on various kinks and fetishes, but you never hear about any of those sexual shenanigans in the news… so feet fetish folks finding themselves featured on frontline feeds frequently from the news is quite the contrast.
I think the story is more about the damn skeezy cop(s?) than their specific kinks tho
Right, because its the mainstream acceptable stand-in for “weird fetishes” and it fits in the mainstream because its NOT scary.
Letting people off the hook in exchange for foot stuff an entirely different problem. I think the focus misplaced.
Yeah, that’s an ACAB problem more than a footsie problem. This is a mathematical function that always resolve to the same constant : let police(x) a function that describes an action (x) that is done by multiple officers over many iterations, and we can say that police(x)= bastardry
When i was in college, there were reports of people, who took their shoes off at the library while studying for midterms, putting their foot back in to find them filled with jizz.
It happened enough we got a campus wide email that said to not take your shoes off in public spaces lol
Where do you live where cops licking feet regularly makes the news??
Nice try, fbi!
Dammit they’re onto me. Time for a new account!
What does a ticket cost? I’d let any1 lick my smelly feet for 20 bucks.
I haven’t gotten a ticket in years, but I think the absolute cheapest tickets are over $100, speeding will be somewhere between $180-300 depending on how much over you were going, and the really big boys like repeated no insurance or passing school busses can climb to $500-1000.
I had a speeding ticket I couldn’t talk my way out of, what got dismissed because it was for 2 over the speed limit. Also dismissed tickets for not having insurance (apparently the card the insurance company sends you is not proof of insurance in Texas, at least according to this shitass I dealt with).
Even though the tickets were dismissed, I still had to pay court fees. Which were for twice what the tickets were.
Hence the saying, you can beat the charge but you can’t beat the ride.
Well, there was Rainfurrest, which was so bad that I know the name off the top of my head without even being in the furry scene. From what I’ve heard it was an outlier organized by people who’d been banned from other conventions so by no means typical.
But it’s not like I’ve never heard of a furry convention going wrong.
That’s uh…that’s wild. I suppose it’s true though, you dig deep enough into just about anything and depravity will surface one way or another.
Oh yeah there are a ton of bdsm conventions, major cities will often have multiple a year. And there are issues and drama for certain, but we generally try to police our own and our problems tend towards being that well established members of the community who do a lot sometimes utilize the trust and respect they have to be predatory, especially to new people, just like every other community.
Foot fetishists’ misbehavior is the stuff like you described, though they’re really outshone in awfulness by body type fetishists, who do the same stuff and so much more
And tbh I think foot fetishists’ big problem is their misbehavior comes from the shame and awkwardness they have about it. And i bet you can find similar stories with far more common body part fetishes like breasts and butts. Like, I’m a breast fetishist for sure and don’t get the appeal of feet, but I know some folks who are all about feet and are totally respectful people and I know plenty of folks who can’t act properly about tits.
Not wholesome
Just not weird in a way interesting enoughI don’t yuk anyone’s yum except for furries. That shit is weird
On the one hand, I agree, furries don’t make a lot of sense.
On the other hand, I’d totally fuck a dragon. Assuming we could figure out the logistics.
Donkey?
You’ll be figuring out the logistics all night.
Furries suddenly made a lot of sense to me when someone told me a lot of them are surgeons.
I think I’d find regular Humans pretty repulsive after cutting them open and watching them die and cutting out massive tumours and shit.
I’ve never met a furry that’s a surgeon. Most of us seem to be in IT and logistics.
Like animals are less repulsive after cut open
Yeah, but human and animal surgeons are two separate fields. I’d imagine most veterinary surgeons are not furries.
Yeah. Google RainFurrest 2015.
I don’t think I want to
Wasn’t that a convention mostly for those who were banned from other conventions?
You’re no defending foot fetishists in my comment section you are not
You’re no
🏴
I have this image of elmur fudd waiting for bugs bunny just so he can look at his feet
The secret is out.
I’m gonna love that metaphor forever
Gotta love the footies. They’re harmless and locked in. At the rabbit hole that is sexual fetishes, they just hang around the entrance… looking down.
That sounds like description of a cave diver.
I mean, the word «fetish» itself is named after feet, so they’re literally the OG.Looks like I was misinformed about that!
Going to acktually on you here but…
It began as:
“material object regarded with awe as having mysterious powers or being the representative of a deity that may be worshipped through it,” 1610s, fatisso, from Portuguese feitiço “charm, sorcery, allurement,” noun use of an adjective meaning “artificial.”
which eventually morphed into:
Figurative sense of “something irrationally revered, object of blind devotion” appears to be an extension made by the New England Transcendentalists (1837). For sexual sense (1897), see fetishism.
Which…checks out in terms of our current understandings of the word. (But still is used as an object in magic in other circles). Which, if referring to a foot as an object of obsession…definitely “more” valid than saying “furry fetish” which is more of a “kink”.
In the sexual sense a fetish is delineated from a kink in that with a fetish it’s often considered necessary for attraction/sexual satisfaction to the haver. So strictly a person with a sadomasochism fetish can’t get off without receiving or administering pain, whereas a person with a sadomasochism kink will sexually enjoy it, but can also get off from vanilla sex.
But they’re often used interchangeably. Also within bdsm kinks can be nonsexual, with some folks not getting off on it, but still enjoying it.
I don’t think that’s correct. It seems like it originated from a magical context: something that puts a sexual “spell” on you
Foot for thought
Another poster said the commentor is talking about a youtuber named gabi belle, who afaik posts ZERO sexual content and even if she did that still wouldnt make her an object for your personal sexual satisfaction.
No you don’t understand she’s a woman showing her face therefore she’s a sex object
In this case I don’t think it’s her face that they’re interested in her showing…
Anyone inherently is a sex object
I wish I was a sex object
You’re not just a sex object, you’re a sex bomb!
Oooh so that’s why I’m on the no-fly list
Nah. You wish you were.
You heard 'im Whittaker family. Back to the pile.
Only if they want to be
Only if they want to be
The idea that anyone at all has any real power over how other people look at them beyond how they present themselves being suggestive of a particular lens is absurd.
You, and apparently some others, completely misread my comment…
The commenter said she posted that she wanted her score on the foot rating site to be higher, which seems like pretty clear consent to objectify her feet.
Having watched Gabi, it was almost certainly a pretty obvious joke. Not surprising she blurred them, people are disgusting.
Eh, not sure “obvious joke” describes it.
Seconded. That kind of humor is 100% on-brand for her.
I do not understand humans
Humans are horny
And capable of being turned on by anything. Not much more to understand than that lol
And they don’t understand you
So say me all too as well
Free the feet
I… don’t get it. Explain the joke?
I think the joke is that people are nuts. I mean, imagine blurring your feet when you already have a presence on wikifeet 🙄.
^/s
Yes, exactly.
When’s his next movie anyway? Once Upon A Time… was pre-COVID.
Who is this person talking about?
I just googled to figure it out. It was a YouTuber named Gabi Belle.
The researcher
Oh I assumed this was about Jordan Myrick due to her recent smartypants presentation But then I saw the date is old.
Oh lol I love Gabi her vids are hilarious
Someone with feet.
Your mom
I’m pretty tolerant when it comes to kinks (boy have I got some), but if you’re a foot person you’re a weirdo.
As long as you tolerate weirdos, seems consistent on my book
I totally tolerate weirdos.
