Weetabix:
Lets hope this stupid law is reversed.
SumoSized:
My guy, it shouldn't be a hot take that women shouldn't be recorded or photographed and then uploaded to a fetish site without their explicit consent. That's a massive privacy concern and it's honestly terrifying that you don't realize that
Munchies:
Not just that. Seeing that Weetabix is one of those anti-establishment types, he's the last person who should be pro-spying on people. Especially since that means people could legally spy on him and all that entails.
If you can't accept it this law for altruistic reasons, then at least accept it for selfish ones.
Weetabix:
If you go out in public wearing something that men could wack off to but you don't want them doing so then the obvious measure is don't do that. Providing men with the material for that then punishing them afterwards is stupid and unfair. It's actually entrapment.
You don't have an expectation of privacy when in public. Where ever you go there are cameras watching and recording. Lots of doorbel cams, street cams, shop cams, traffic cams. If there was a law against it then the cameras would be removed. Generally what a camera sees the eye can see. There are cases where cameras see more than one would expect like x-ray and infrared and zoom lenses etc. One must expect those too.
There was the case where the Tesla camera was recording people inside their garage and that did break privacy laws. Outside it does not.
And also, does this mean people should just never go swiming on a public area like a beach, wearing a bikini?

In general you can record whatever you like and do whatever you like stuff that is seen/heard in public. BUT using what you get for harassment/stalking/titilation is in general not legal
Weetabix:
Titillation is in the mind of the beholder. Harassment is an actual activity which affects the victim, as would be stalking if they became aware of it.
so its perfectly okay to verbally harash a deaf person?

It could be something weird with daylight savings being tonight but Happy birthday!
Munchies:
Daylight savings time ends at 2 AM, so I am not sure that had anything to do with it.
But it's been fixed. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Oh wow! Time heals scars and... software bugs, it seems!

There is no reason to feel proud or ashamed for something you didnt conciously decided!
JN_TumLover56:
Well I certainly appreciate that.
Enas:
I hope you also understand the underlying logic!
JN_TumLover56:
Kinda. I have no shame for what I am attracted to. I mean I am what I find attractive too (hello it says in my username 😅). But I do have bad days at time.
Just to be clear, im more concerned with you being able to make solid arguments against criticism (of the stupid kind) on your fetish.

So, today is my birthday. Just turned 29. But when I look at my profile, it says I am 28.
I double checked the birthday I put in my profile. It's definately correct.
What's happening here?
This is just me speculating, i dont know your timezone but if you noticed this just past *your* midnight, and the server is in a timezone that experiences midnight later, that might be what's causing it.
Also, imo wishing happy birthday is very lowbar, english doesnt have good wishes, but Greek does, so i wish you to have years many, and good!

You know I’m not exactly crazy about the kink as I used to. However I also do find that reading into these forums/threads do sometimes make me feel that bit of comfort. Or at best give me some kind of insight into a better understanding about the world of either the kink itself or just being someone who’s into larger people.
From when I found out about my interests within larger people I did knew about the stigmatization and the guilt that comes with it, but I’ve always wanted to find a place where I don’t have to be ashamed of myself anymore or at least a lot less guilt?? Either way it is kinda nice to be in a place without the outside noise from society telling someone how incorrect their body is and that you have to fix it to be more acceptable. kinda a breath of fresh air if you ask me?
Also I also kinda find it interesting for how in a community like this there’s some kind of an understanding when it comes to weight change. It’s almost there’s a nuance towards it, compared to the outside where it’s so noisy and how weight loss is celebrated like hardcore. 😅 Maybe I’m sounding a little extra, but that’s what I have noticed anyways.
Now yes as you probably already notice, I am not a bigger person myself. But I believe that there is a place for someone like me (someone who’s into bigger people) to belong to a place like here. And trust me, the negative noise out there can affect people like me too. Maybe not that often, but it does happen.

I’ve been dealing with an ED for a while due to beauty standards, I feel like I have to starve myself cause I’m ugly if I’m not skinny and no one will ever love me. I’m not into this but this forum is strangely comforting when I’m really deep in my ED, that some people wouldn’t find me ugly for my chubby appearance. So uh- Thanks for existing ig?
Beauty standards, especially for women, are completely ridiculous and stupid. Please, be aware, you dont need to subscribe to a stupid idea!
(i'd write a wall of text, expanding on this, but i'm not sure if anyone would appreciate it)

Idk, but I'm also black, so Imma leave that one up to the white people to figure out.
Im curious on why you would say that. Do you think the color of your skin affects your ability to judge the sppearance of people that have a different colored skin? (propably not)
Im also asking because i know that you’re really not uncomfortable with expressing your opinion on others' sppearances (and im not saying this as a bad thing, im just making an observation), so why is race the consideration for what is axeptable or not?

Maybe it is too early to speak about solutions to problems, we have not yet identified clearly (i think what has been mentioned so far is somewhat surface-level observations) but, i think this should be also mentioned, an element that is missing is a lack of intentionality in the conversations that have to do with the betterment of our communities.
In general, people want to fix what annoys them, not problems, necesarily. And the rarely go on a theoretical analysis to identify their problems correctly (or at least, to not confuse symptoms as their problems). For example most people have a sentiment against comercialization, they will identify it as a problem and if the space allows them, they will try to push back on it. Thats one thing. It is another thing entierly to actually build community.
I've tried to do a few things with, more or less, the intend to improve FF in fundamental ways (for example i have asked Hiccupx to create a forum-like space, but one in which people will engage in a hegelian dialectic when in it, i dont know what's going on with that request. I could try to share this somewhere though!) but it seems that each time i end in bigger and bigger trouble.
And on that note i want to ask for advice. I do want to see a better community and i do want to participate in community building. What can i do? (meaning, what can a person do to at least faciliate this process of community building?)
