Hey folks, I'm trying to gauge interest in online community meetups. I'm thinking 1x a month but if they get popular we could go to 2x a month or even every other week. (Possibly do a casual social 1 week and do a more formal educational presentation or discussion the other one?)

They will be on something like Zoom or Discord and be a social event.

All sexual orientations & gender identities welcome!

This is open to all under the wide umbrella of fat loving & weight gain loving regardless of what labels they use (fat admirer, feedist, gainer, encourager, chub/superchub, chaser, bbw, bhm, big attractive transfolks), including our fat friends who like being admired. Significant others, friends, allies, and those curious/questioning are also welcome too, as long as they're respectful.

Anyway, feel free to take this poll I created:
www.tumblr.com/c4bl3fl4m3/767603494541770752/interest-in-virtual-fat-admirationfeedismweight

If you don't have a tumblr and/or can't take the poll for some reason, feel free to reply here.

Oh, and feel free to spread the word far and wide!

Thanks!

I put my given name into a "random hax0r name generator" back in the early 2000s. C@bl3Fl@m3 came out. I changed it to the more internet friendly C4bl3Fl4m3 and have used it ever since. It's pretty much just me now.

(Although I used to be more closeted about being into feedism back in the day and used another one to generate my old feedism username, ElectroInfecto.)

I visit Cumberland County a few times a year (I grew up there), usually for a week or longer, and would love to meet up with like-minded folks.

Replying again to see if we can revive this thread and get something going. Esp. with weather getting nice we can have picnics outside.

I grew up outside of Harrisburg and go up a couple of times a year, usually for at least a week. I'm always down for meeting up with folks (in COVID-cautious manners) when I'm there.

EarthBound.

Also amazing: Disco Elysium, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Death Stranding. The Portal series. The Katamari series.

Any of the SimCity games up to 4. I've played WAAAAY too much SC over my lifetime. (The Kingdom Two Crowns series scratches my builder itch pretty well too. I've played way too much of that as well.)

I also miss WoW. Never got into end game content/raiding, but just doing quests, tooling around in character, doing the holiday stuff, some dungeons.

Yeah, that seems to be de rigeur around here. Very frustrating, esp. for someone who came from a place with a sometimes-active feedism scene. (Washington DC)

Could I get an invite to that VA Feedism Discord?

I tried organizing one down here years ago (pre-COVID) but no one seemed interested in going offline and meeting up with a bunch of people for real.

THAT being said...

Would the meetup involve eating? If so,I would be super interested IF it weren't for COVID. But being unmasked around random people where eating is involved is very high risk.

If it doesn't involve eating/we can all stay masked during the meetup, then I'd be interested.

Remember, fat people are high risk for complications from COVID, so us fatties still need to be extra careful. Me, my partner, and everyone in our bubble is high risk, including someone who's immune suppressed.

Just a heads up to you lovely trans folks & enbies: Anyone out there who had "transgender" listed as your gender on your profile: they've now added "trans-woman", "trans-man", and "nonbinary" as options AND if you were listed as the old option, you are now listed BY DEFAULT as "trans-woman" regardless of if you are or not.

Check your profile and adjust as needed.

Fluidflux Nonbinary person here! I'm also a fat admirer, switch feedist (feeder & feedee), and superfat myself!

All those folks replying who want to chat, there's a really good queer & trans feedism discord I'm on. People are SUPER respectful there and don't slide into your DMs w/o permission (which I've never seen on ANY other feedism discord). Let me know if you're interested in it and I'll see about getting invites. (I'd have to ask the mods to invite people; I don't have invite rights.)
