  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.

    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 f(x)= bastardry

    What does a ticket cost? I’d let any1 lick my smelly feet for 20 bucks.

    • imadethis@fedinsfw.app ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

    Right, because its the mainstream acceptable stand-in for “weird fetishes” and it fits in the mainstream because its scary.

    I think the story is more about the damn skeezy cop(s?) than their specific kinks tho

    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

      I mean taking your shoes off I can see, but leaving them unattended? Like no way I’m walking randomly around any public space even in just socks.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • surewhynotlem@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

      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.

        Like animals are less repulsive after cut open

        I’ve never met a furry that’s a surgeon. Most of us seem to be in IT and logistics.
