AskDrFeeder:
I have no hard data, but it seems to me that feedees these days are less hesitant about gaining than in the past. As soon they have the opportunity they start gaining and don't look back.
Anyone else notice this? Or disagree with it?
John Smith:
I simply think that social medias, coupled by the constant exposure to body positive advocacy has rendered two or three generations of people less reluctant to spite the prospect of gaining weight, whether unintentionally or the contrary, which subsequently selt-reflects within the feederism scenery too.
That, doubled by a whole year of lockdown that affected both economics and the collective psyche as much as some people's waistlines.
I agree with John Smith, there is a lot more body positivity movements in the media and although there is still a long way to go, I do believe it makes a difference.
I know I decided to gain 30lbs during lockdown, one of the reasons being I could hide it as “quarantine gains” with no intention of losing it.
I personally have also found as I have gotten older, I care a lot less on people’s opinion as I get fatter. It is my body at the end of the day.
