Fetish/preference signs

I wish to hell and back that we could have something like this. I even posted my own thread about it a while ago. But when it comes to demographics; how do we get everyone in this community, and all the related websites, to be on board? I'd love to hear ideas.

One might be to get the creators/moderators of each feederism-related website to adopt a banner, symbol, secret phrase, a colour-scheme?

Websites are literally the only common grounds of communication we share. Posts and discussions aren't enough. Once some sort of symbol/whatever is agreed upon, the next step is to make sure EVERYONE sees it. Without maximum visibility, we may as well wave an invisible flag.

Maybe we should compile a list of all possible sites. I'll start:

-Fantasy Feeder
-Reddit (/r/stuffers , /r/gainers)
-Deviant Art (all the different feederism groups)
-Feabie
-StufferDB
-Curvage

While this forum might not be the main hotspot, it's one of many. We are all over the place. Best we can do is try to influence each main hotspot to incorporate it somehow.

Discord definitely has many channels. There'd have to be compiled somewhere.

I can't prepare a template post right now. But creating a shared google document might be the way to go about this. Slowly chip away at a statement or something.

It seems like we already have a flag and colours, so it's just a case of members starting to adopt this like the gay community has adopted their gay pride flag and colours.

In the same way they do, we could use the colours to decorate anything we like, jewellery, mugs, clothing etc. I like the symbol of the doughnut, which gives it extra meaning. Go ahead and start getting your t-shirts printed up, or add oit as a logo in the corner on your pic uploads here. The besst way to get it adopted is to start using it. Here's a quick GIF I made, combining the colours and doughnut ideas:

You missed the heart in the center. I'm preparing additional badges to use as a suggestion.

The heart in the center seems superfluous. To me, the colors themselves in that order would suffice.

Oooo I'm loving the responses this thread is getting. I really hope this finds enough momentum to take off, because it clearly hasn't before, to the extent that it reaches as many eyes as possible...

fs_69_mailme:
I will wrap up a graphic explaining the colored bands when I have some time and prepare a document.

About discord: there's this list, but it's definitely not exhaustive:

A graphic would be glorious. If it's right, we could go on a mini crusade and start a thread about it on as many boards as we can think of.

I'm not sure where I stand on having a heart or no heart. The argument might point us back to the "officiality" of the original fetish wiki page, or the "ingenuity" of taking it into our own hands and making something new.

In my eyes, the heart could describe an overall love for the feedist lifestyle. This could be the sign for people, who are not directly into this kink, but who would like to show their overall support and respect.

Bigfatbellyfan:
Curious, what do you consider the "Feedist Lifestyle"?

I definitely have my own variation of a "Feeder Lifestyle".


I guess it might have to be one those broad, undefinable things that you can't atomize, like how many "lifestyles" there are under the LGBTQ+ banner. I don't think having a banner or icon for fat appreciation means we have to constrain everything under it to a single lifestyle. That's the neat thing about symbols. They can denote a range of things at once.

fs_69_mailme:
I just started with the graphics, but after checking out the color scheme again, I noticed, that at least not the subfetishes of this site (fa, feeder, feedee, gainer, foodie) are not completely mapable to the feederism pride flag.

The colors there mean:

Black: Dom/sub, leather, lace, s/m and the like
Vanilla: fat preference
Strawberry: stuffing
Brown: weight gain
Heart: fat admiration/appreciation

Any ideas about how to manage that? Should each community map their own chosen subfetishes to the colors? Should we broaden/change the color scheme?

Thanks

As far as preferences site-to-site go, I'm not convinced everything needs to be included. If we were to forget for a moment about all these related sites, hell, even forget that the internet exists -- what 5 to 10 preferences would we write on a list? We can't give every single preference a colour, because we'd just end up with a banner featuring every colour on the hex-code sheet and looking like a muddy mess. While you and I might be able to answer the 5 - 10 core preferences ourselves, we of course must consider different opinions. It almost calls for some sort of widespread poll. Problem is, that's a lot of hard work to start, maintain, manage and wrap. It's likely we wouldn't even get the best participation rate, either.

I'm aware I've just presented a problem without contributing towards a solution, but I really am stuck on that one.

You are right.

I came up with the idea of allowing the users to choose a percentage amount of the colors. So one can give more or less priority to the individual aspects. Like dom feeders might give black and brown more weight (pun intended) and FAs could make the heart bigger.

Maybe that'll work as a first draft at least.


It's so impressive the amount of work you're putting into this already. It's a good idea, the voting percentage thing. Has democratic elements.

Mapping each sub-kink to a colour is making a problem out of nothing, imo. We've already got the kinks and we've already picked the colours, based on the original flag. Why map anything to anything?

It's not like someone is going to wear a flag that's just one colour and say that it's a more specific feederism flag. They'll wear the whole flag and tell people "I accept all of this but actually I'm only into this bit of it" instead

Also - mapping non-feedist kinks to a colour seems counterintuitive to me. You've mapped black to BDSM related stuff, but that's got nothing to do with feederism at all. There's already a BDSM Pride and Leather Pride flag. Have the feederism colours just be for feederism. There's nothing stopping someone from wearing more than one flag.

Actually this is a good point. BDSM is not what comes to mind when I think of feederism.
