I am just sad that people who don’t have this fetish hate on it so much. They cannot accept the fact that there are people who want to gain weight instead of lose it. They say things like, “I don’t understand why someone would want to gain weight,” “It’s unhealthy,” or “It’s disgusting that you would want something like that.”
But the whole point of a kink is that other people don’t have to understand it, right? They can just accept it and let people be. A kink is a personal experience that another person may not really understand, but accepting it isn’t too much to ask. I mean, I don’t really understand the appeal of feet, to be honest, but if that’s your thing, enjoy it and you be you.
Outside of this subreddit, whenever people talk about having this fetish, others often comment that the person has a mental illness, is destroying themselves, or is disgusting for wanting to do this to themselves. I think that is very ignorant and shortsighted. We cannot help that we are wired this way and enjoy this.
A lot of the time, they talk about our health and say we are supposedly destroying it, but that is also something I want to comment on. Sure, being “thin” is probably healthier than being very “fat” for the majority of people, although you can also be healthy and fat, even healthier than some thin people. But depriving yourself of a kink that you are constantly thinking about and want to enjoy is also not easy on the mind, and it can be unhealthy mentally too.
Please let us strike the balance between our health and the kink, and just let us fucking be. It is just another kink in the big spectrum of kinks.
I know I don’t have to preach this to this subreddit, but I still wanted to say it lol. Peoples opinions outside of this subreddit are constantly holding me back from finally transitioning (MTF) and becoming the fat woman I want to be, so wanted to get this on paper also for myself. Luv you all 🩷 and be the fatty or fatty admirer you want to be!
