Due to less population density than the US or UK, for example, we're not likely to congregate. There are simply less of us. That's not to say there are no feeder/feedees in this coutnry. It's just that we're more likely to be out there completely unknown to each other.

Exactly. I'm one of those naturally thin people.

Once again, for me any disdain comes when I'm more pessimistic. That's what depression does. Makes you think negatively. Not only towards yourself, but towards other people too. You just have to always be mindful of how to be a reasonable human being and not hold strangers to standards that don't directly impact you...

During my more depressed spells, in which my pessimism towards other human beings is harder to control, I think of skinny women as being weak-minded for giving in to the pressure society puts on them to punish themselves and stay thin. This is very disingenuous of me. But it's nevertheless my first fleeting thought before I clear the idea from my mind, in the same way someone else would think of a fat girl as being weak-minded for giving into food so easily. I wish I didn't sometimes think about skinny girls this way. It's unfair of me to have that thought. There are countless societal pressures that I, along with everybody else, give into. I have no real grounds to point at them and accuse them of "not thinking" or something... But I still wish girls (as well as men) didn't get that sharp pang of anxiety every time they hear the word "weight". It's mentally harmful. People would be so much better off without it. I watch friends of mine get sick with anxiety about it because they think the first thing that happens when you get fat is your worth plummets so low that everyone around you would sell you for a grape.

The Icelandic post-rock band "Sigur Ros" has some slower, more instrumental works. See the album "Valtari" or "Riceboy Sleeps". It hits a soulful spot for me.

Actually this is a good point. BDSM is not what comes to mind when I think of feederism.

It's so impressive the amount of work you're putting into this already. It's a good idea, the voting percentage thing. Has democratic elements.

As far as preferences site-to-site go, I'm not convinced everything needs to be included. If we were to forget for a moment about all these related sites, hell, even forget that the internet exists -- what 5 to 10 preferences would we write on a list? We can't give every single preference a colour, because we'd just end up with a banner featuring every colour on the hex-code sheet and looking like a muddy mess. While you and I might be able to answer the 5 - 10 core preferences ourselves, we of course must consider different opinions. It almost calls for some sort of widespread poll. Problem is, that's a lot of hard work to start, maintain, manage and wrap. It's likely we wouldn't even get the best participation rate, either.

I'm aware I've just presented a problem without contributing towards a solution, but I really am stuck on that one.

I guess it might have to be one those broad, undefinable things that you can't atomize, like how many "lifestyles" there are under the LGBTQ+ banner. I don't think having a banner or icon for fat appreciation means we have to constrain everything under it to a single lifestyle. That's the neat thing about symbols. They can denote a range of things at once.

Oooo I'm loving the responses this thread is getting. I really hope this finds enough momentum to take off, because it clearly hasn't before, to the extent that it reaches as many eyes as possible...



A graphic would be glorious. If it's right, we could go on a mini crusade and start a thread about it on as many boards as we can think of.







I'm not sure where I stand on having a heart or no heart. The argument might point us back to the "officiality" of the original fetish wiki page, or the "ingenuity" of taking it into our own hands and making something new.

While this forum might not be the main hotspot, it's one of many. We are all over the place. Best we can do is try to influence each main hotspot to incorporate it somehow.

Discord definitely has many channels. There'd have to be compiled somewhere.

I can't prepare a template post right now. But creating a shared google document might be the way to go about this. Slowly chip away at a statement or something.
