Fat Fetish/Feedism Survey Results (Part 1)
by Barbie Richards (Black Barbie) - 10/5/2022


This survey was conducted in September of 2022 and responses were closed on October 5, 2022. It was circulated on the Fantasy Feeder website, fat fetish and feedism Facebook groups, subreddits, discord servers, Instagram, and Snapchat. The total number of participants was 121. While I acknowledge these results do not represent the opinions of the entire community and are thus not definitive, they can still provide an informative snapshot of a fraction of the community.
