The Reoccurring Desire To Reach Out To Those Names I See Often Enough And Feel Like I Would Vibe With

the reoccurring desire to reach out to those names I see often enough and feel like I would vibe with are real today

just as real as the ever present anxiety of actually saying anything and not bungling it up and being an unenjoyable dummy

what are your thoughts on the fetishization of fat people or fat bodies, how do you distinguish feeder kinks and people who like fat bodies and accept them from people who are simply fetishizing them? Have you seen any overlap within the communities?

One word: Consent.

I hate how the word ‘fetishization’ gets tossed around when what people really mean is objectification. Anyone can objectify a person without their consent, they don’t have to have a fetish to do so.

So what does it actually mean to objectify someone? How do you know if a person is truly appreciating someone for their beauty or if they are objectifying them?

Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, Martha Nussbaum, identified seven features associated with the idea of treating a person as an object in our society:

1. Instrumentality: the treatment of a person as a tool for the objectifier's purposes

2. Denial of autonomy: the treatment of a person as lacking in autonomy and self-determination

3. Inertness: the treatment of a person as lacking in agency, and perhaps also in activity

4. Fungibility: the treatment of a person as interchangeable with other objects

5. Violability: the treatment of a person as lacking in boundary-integrity

6. Ownership: the treatment of a person as something that is owned by another

7. Denial of subjectivity: the treatment of a person as something whose experiences and feelings (if any) need not be taken into account

Rae Helen Langton, FBA, an Australian and British professor of philosophy, later added three more features to the list:

8. Reduction to body: the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts

9. Reduction to appearance: the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses

10. Silencing: the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak

Fetishes or sexual interests alone do not mean a person is objectifying anyone. The behaviors above do. How do you distinguish feedists from non-feedists? That question’s irrelevant. You never have to consent to participate in kink with anyone. That is your right. Feedists are people like everyone else - they’re capable of interacting with you in a respectful way…

I absolutely see overlap between feedism and fat lib - most feedists I know are incredibly passionate about fat lib, and many of them have even less internalized fatphobia and ableism than the general fat liberation community. I am a feeder and openly identify with the feedism community and have already spoken on this topic in depth. Fetishes do not make you dangerous and I will die on this hill protecting my community.

hi folks! i did my own little rendition on that one outfit meme, and it's a little spicy so i censored it in case tumblr would smite me, lol

also made a fun little filtered version! (the uncensored version is in my telegram channel... https://t.me/SKO117ART)

despite my claims of it not really fitting... what do you think? ://3

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
