So i guess tumblr has banned feedism now?

Lbd4:
Sure. Everyone engaged in feedism (or any sexual kink/fetish) should be a consenting adult. I agree đź’Ż.

And yes, a LOT of feedists are disordered eaters. I think a lot of people are disordered eaters. Regardless of the kink/fetish. However binge eating is an eating disorder ONLY when it also includes feelings of shame, loss of control, and secrecy. I’m a binge eater by that definition. This community is helping strip the shame and secrecy from my behavior. It’s helping me change my relationship to food in a very tangible way. My experience here has been the opposite of disordered.

And reporting people who encourage overeating? Where’s the line? I still think this is more about the fat people ick factor than any liability. Couch it however you want.


Yeah, I can see something like this happening. A fat person posts a picture of a taco or themselves enjoying said taco. Then they get reporting for feedism. Someone has a body positivity account? Reported for feedism.

I can see this being used against the ED recovery community. One of the things I see them to is show off their weight gain or talk about gaining weight positively. Some troll would 100% report them for feedism.

So i guess tumblr has banned feedism now?

Stevita:
Well, not exactly banned, but they have a report button for feedism in SPECIFIC now. As someone who has been on the site for upwards of a decade and made a lot of my lasting friendships there in the feedism community, including friendships with better writers than me that I consider my mentors, this is a HUGE slap in the face. I know it's just one website, but it super duper sucks.


This is the banning female presenting nipples thing all over again. I was told a lot of weird things go nuked like sand dunes and pictures of food.

Having interacted with ... certain members of this community ... I can understand why feedism is seen as a form of self harm, abuse, or disordered eating. I have spent the past 3 years yelling at these people.

But feedism is not inherently these things. By this logic, BDSM is inherently abuse, but most people understand it's not.

Tariff impacts on feederism

Morbidly A Beast:
there’s enough demand in the American market any importer will pay reluctantly at a loss, the importer could hike prices all they want it would only increase the tax.

there are going to be people who say import taxes are justifying price increases merely to make profit it’s economical.


I mean, kudos to you if you can take the hit, but that's not a lot of people. And RIP to the small businesses that are failing specifically because of the tariffs.

We also lack the infrastructure to manufacture all the overseas products here. It will take years, over a decade in some cases. If he wanted to create more American jobs by forcing businesses to operate over here, this is the worst way to do it.

The wealthy will always find ways to stay wealthy. They will probably be fine in the long term concerning the tariffs. But the average American? Not so much.

Preparing to get fat

JohnT:
At some point activity will inevitably stop though. My now wife was in the 200s ten years ago and quit mobile, agile and fit. She has been steadily gaining over the years- something I discreetly encouraged - until almost 5 years ago when I confessed to her that I am a feeder and that was the turning point of her massive gain. She is now 593lbs and although not immobile, she’s hardly mobile. Even though we were happy in a relationship as a girlfriend and boyfriend, i wanted her to feel secure in this new condition.. that i will always take care of her and be there for her regardless of her massiveness and immobility, so we got married a few months ago. I love how she let go, and I can’t wait to see her hitting 600 and beyond even if it means that we can’t do together all these activities normal young couples do. I love driving her around and going out to restaurants that have accessible seating for her. Or pushing her wheelchair when we go to malls.


That's not true.

Some people get lazier over time. Some don't. My grandparents are 72 and 69. They are both very active. They regularly compete with each other to see who walked the most steps throughout the day and go on long walks together.

Actually, there are a lot of older couples in my area that are like this.

Unfortunately someone who is impressionable

Gainingdream:
I am unfortunately impressionable.. insecure.. someone who always lets others determine a part of my future!.. a pleaser … I am a Feedee.. I am addicted to food.. I love fat.. I love getting fat and playing with my fat.. 6 months ago I was very active with gaining and was really getting fat.. unfortunately I stopped because of em for others! I even went to a psychologist and now I am back to square one, how should I deal with this,, how do you do that?

Munchies:
Go back to the therapist. Stay away from the community until you are far enough into your journey that people won't used and abuse you.

Just making a post about you being impressionable as marked you as easy prey.

Gainingdream:
Thank you for your lovely explanation! I still go to the psychologist. She says I should do what makes me happy, and honestly that is of course my family! But also getting fat.. the feederism.. I have suppressed that all my life, now I finally got fatter (over 138 kilos) and due to insecurity and especially my environment and the nagging I gave in again to lose weight and. even went to a psychologist


You are very sweet. But I am serious. There are a lot of unsavory people out there that will try to manipulate you into fulfilling fantasies that are not necessarily yours.

Ideally, you should be able to express your fetish in a way that makes you happy regardless of people pushing you to gain or lose weight.

Planning a vacation… where are the good queer feedism communities?

Enas:
Edit: This could go out of topic, but rereading your post has made me curious... You say "eurocentric standards", what do you mean by that?

Munchies:
This refers to the idea that anything involving white people is the gold standard. This includes things such as beauty standards, philosophy, fashion, religion, and more. Eurocentrism is a lasting holdover from colonialism.

Enas:
I would also like one or two tangible examples. O.o


For example, I have 4C hair. 4C hair looks like this:

?crop=40%3A21

White people do not have hair like this naturally. And while there is nothing wrong with my hair texture, under Eurocentrism, my hair is seen as weird or ugly. As such, I'd be encouraged to straighten my hair or hide it under wigs.

Kitsune:
I should give up internet life. It screws up my mental health and makes me want to throw away my phone. I am going to try to read more books and watch more shows. All this doom and gloom makes me suicidal.


Wishing you well.

Bellyempire:
Honestly sounds like Atlanta to me.


Atlanta, GA? Well, I'm not from there, but I have a lot of family that does. Never heard of anything that suggests it's friendlier to any of these these than your average city.

But I am open to being wrong. Perhaps one of our ATL feedists can chime in on this.
