I think either side has generally good points, but at the end of the day, unless someone is crossing a line like posting pictures or being specific enough to identify someone on here, I think the issue of consent on posting about it is moot because there is nothing personal about a description of seeing someone wearing tight clothes. Almost every other topic in this entire forum has posts talking about other people in general terms so it's bizarre to see people drawing an arbitrary line at this specific topic.

If you think a topic is cringy, I have some bad news about how people view this fetish in general.

I was going to write something similar but you saved me the trouble. After reading and rereading the OP, the “worst” I could say if I was forced to is it comes across as a little voyeuristic—but I would not personally characterize it as cringey, creepy, or “rapey” as it has been during the course of this thread. I do believe some of the comments have been the product of underthinking or overthinking what started as a simple and fairly innocuous topic.

fucking sick freaks.


That's absolutely unacceptable. Why are you here? Why would you post something like that? Are you incapable of thinking before you speak? You must understand, behavior like this colors everything you will ever comment again - it makes it impossible to take you seriously, to see you as anything other than a fool or a troll. Please learn to act like an adult if you want to participate in civil adult discussions.

my point is just that it’s wrong and creepy to fetishize the girl just trying to enjoy her day at the beach when there’s hundreds of women online here who enjoy it. Any kind of hyperbole aside it seemed to upset the right kind of freak who just thought consent is just the worst and people noticed, I had to take a few days because it was making me so angry people didn’t understand basic consent.

You might want to take a few more days because this feels unhealthy. Or you’re trolling. Either way, give it a rest.

Are you saying I’m a troll because you thought I said a few comments ago I meant to say to you personally? I didn’t mean to you personably I just meant it like a statement in general.


You’re off on your own trip man. Take care of yourself

I am going to try and reply seriously here, despite the manner in which you are speaking coming across as trolling and vitriol.

There seems to be a lot of conflation occurring here, as there are actually several topics being discussed synonymously, erroneously.

Afai can tell, most revolve around consent:

Is consent necessary for you to have a sexual thought about a person or notice them in a sexual way?

Is consent necessary for you to choose to spend voluntary time thinking about someone?

Is consent necessary to discuss someone in a fetishistic forum without identifying information?

Is consent necessary to engage with someone in a fetishistic way?

Is consent necessary to post pictures of someone up online without their consent, fetishistic or not?

Along which of these does society gain the most benefit in regulating, which are most feasible, etc.?

Perhaps if we all focus on these questions as separate, rather than one mountain worth dying on, more common ground may be found, with less anger and rancor.
