Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Which part? That foot fetish is the most common one? Or that the most common fetish would have the most creeps, by nature of of population size?
I think that foot fetish being the largest is iffy. I think it's the most well known and has gotten more acceptable as models on OF and such are down with indulging a fetish as non-invasive as feet. I mean, I doubt they're complaining about having to get another pedicure at a high end day spa that is being paid for by some rich guy in exchange for exclusive pictures. It's also easy to promote on social media as none of them are banning pictures of feet compared to getting a community guidelines strike for just showing a bit of cleavage.
You think feet clock in higher than bondage, leather, lingerie... I'd be super into seeing some figures, because that doesn't mesh with my intuitions at all.
I'd also like to offer a counterpoint to the hypothesis that the commonality is the creep factor, and suggest that it is, rather, the social disapproval that leads to that. Why? For one thing, that disapproval makes it harder to satisfy. Sex is a need for humans in a similar way if not as intense as food, and people will display behavior amoral at best and immoral at worst in service to that need. Obligate foot fetishists, who can't get off without it, have therefore a more limited window for satisfaction of that need, whereas people who have options can get off other ways and don't have the heavy breathing and sweating aesthetic about them in the same way.
I honestly believe a large portion of the feet fetish guys are into it because it's weird and makes them an outsider, and less because they actually find feet appealing. I also kind of feel like it's a 4chan thing where enough people pretending to be into something eventually convinces others into just actually being into the thing. Anyhow, feet are fucking gross, thanks for coming to my talk!
