is there a prohibition about certain levels of nudity?

lol, americans are still puritans at their roots: they just want to sex shame, and if you're different then they feel less guilty. also, there's a bit of cultural schaudenfreude at making people feel bad for what they like. That's actually one of the many things I like about this genre and its crossovers with bdsm: it takes that guilt and shame and flips it over on its head and says, "Hey, you know what, that's fucking kinky as hell. I'ma get off to that too!!" lmfao

FutureFatWife:
I guess it's different for different people, but for me it's always been a part of my sexuality. Even before like puberty I remember loving weight gain in cartoons, Willy Wonka, stuffing my clothes, being fascinated with fat and pregnant women, etc. Psychologically, I could get Freudian and say it has to do with early childhood experiences of witnessing a parent gain weight, but Freud did a lot of cocaine...

FattenedUp:Years ago there was an Italian film about four wealthy men - I think airline pilots - who decided to kill themselves by eating.
It wasn't a dark film, in spite of the plot.

imho, both sexuality and social attitudes are very complex and multi-layered. There may be some element of self-dislike, as well as catharses for it both through sexualization and through forcing it on tormentors. There is also the level on which revenge fattening makes the 'vicitm' responsible for it in a way while being free of direct responsibility for becoming fat in another, again perhaps very tied to various subconscious pathos in many people in this community. Cognitive dissonance can be at once the bane of closet fetishists and the funnest and hottest part.

anyone remember an old one from DeviantArt a few years ago? Just a single scene, a witch feeding and pinching a gretel in a cage, written as a halloween special I think. Very short and kinky, but never found it again

Though the genre may appear to have narrowed from the old days, it hasn't, though some things become more or less popular.
The fact is, this is a huge genre with many many subgenres and crossovers, and not everything gets expressed in equal measure. BDSM is often popular, both physically as in the nonconsensual stories, and emotionally as in the ones you yourself write. BDSM is another huge genre, and there are a number of people here that are into it as well in some form or another.
Honestly, I like variety. I have come across the full range of material here and elsewhere, and though many stories here end with huge weights or slavery, that is probably because those are the most extreme and least realistic parts of this genre, sans scifi/fantasy. As time has gone on, this genre's peak density has shifted that way, but there are many stories out there that are loving and romantic, contain mild weight gain or none, star characters that are only mildly chubby, or focus just on eating or a fat lifestyle. I used to love Dimensions Magazine for its wider variety, though they recently hid a large portion of their old gallery.
IMHO, a site like this (as a major current hub of the FA community) should contain a wider base, with more stories focused just on eating or focused just on romantic relationships between slightly or moderately overweight people. However, that will require more of such stories being regularly written. XD
