You're missing the point. Being proud of being a feedee/gainer/BBW/BHM doesn't mean you have to shout it from the rooftops. There are people who wouldn't understand if you did, and some of those people are in high places. As was stated earlier if someone who was, say...a senator for instance, got found out the scandal would be enormous
Au Contraire. Did you ever heard me saying you should scream it from the rooftops? I didn't refer to that at all. I reffered on the fact that I almost had to excuse myself here on the site, for having another opinion. Pls, I beg to differ

Let me put the subject this way:
I think I can afford it (professionally), and therefore I dare to put the photo's etc here. I am not living in fear they'll be discovered at all.
Some other (hypothetical) person thinks photo's can harm them professionally - in that case is quite shortsighted to put them here in any form. And than to live in fear. And rejecting to own the consequences. Kind of hypocrite, don't you think.
It could, depending on this hypothetical politician's actions, bring a lot of negative attention to this community. Which could manifest as something mild like trolls, or something serious like hackers.
This is real possibility (though not exclusive only for ff). And everyone should count with it when putting private stuff online. Doesn't matter where: face, myspace, ff...you name it.
Not everything is cut and dry, Fairy. For a lot of people their involvement in this site is sexual, whether purely or partially so, and to most people sexual things are very very private.
That is true. But I didn't proclaim screaming it from the rooftops, again (you never hear for example SM people doing that either haha). Sexuality is one part of being human that everybody does very private about, so why should ff be exception. Even I am open to certain extent, and answer only if asked the right question. But do not open more than I can take.
What I'm talking about is owning responsibility for own 'internet appearance' and adjusting it according to your personal situation, rather than to live in fear of being discovered.
I hope this time I used better nuances and do not sound militant in own opinions haha. Otherwise, I give it up for being lost in translation.
