Slimjim:
Most people think feederism and fat admiration are purely modern kinks, but in parts of Africa, they’ve been cultural practices for centuries.
In my culture (Nigeria), fatness traditionally symbolised wealth, beauty, fertility, and good health. Among the Efik people in Calabar, brides-to-be would be secluded in special “fattening rooms” for months. There, they’d be pampered, taught womanhood, and encouraged to gain weight before marriage.

When I look at this community, I see a parallel: what we do here isn’t strange or “taboo” it’s part of a long human tradition of celebrating fatness as power, prosperity, and attraction.
Maybe Fantasy Feeder isn’t just fantasy at all… maybe it’s a continuation of something much older.
Had anyone here ever heard of the Calabar fattening room before?
I'm familiar, but I'm a Pan-Africanist.
There are a lot of tribes throughout the continent that practice fattening up women as well as some that fatten up men (like the Bodi tribe).
If we zoom out a ways, we will see there are many cultures that prize fatness in some form. In fact, valuing thinness is a more recent thing relatively speaking.
