Social acceptability
(kbin.run)
TBH dudes with foot fetishes assume no one else knows what a foot fetish is, and that’s where they run into trouble. See: Dan Snyder and Nickolodean.
Example:
Dude 1 openly harasses me about my butt, I hate it and move on with my life
Dude 2 thinks he’s being slick. Talks to me for a few minutes bullshitting/smalltalk before the conversation is suddenly about how I’m on my feet all day and what shoes do you wear and what about your socks and… etc
One is a cat call, the other is some weird social engineering shit that also insults my intelligence. I’m not making this up, these dudes try this on multiple targets until they can find a mark. My coworkers have to deal with it too. Don’t see them a lot but we warn each other about the foot guy.
Sorry to all you normal, respectful people with foot fetishes, I’m sure you give awesome consensual foot rubs.
That poor retired podiatrist keeps getting called a creep for trying to talk about foot health...
He's got his retired gynecologist friend to commiserate with.
Here I just wanted to talk shoes and recommend some decent merino wool socks.
For real tho, my job has me on my feet for the entirety of my shift - I found an awesome insole that makes the day so much less painful, and I 100% pitch that shit to my coworkers when it comes up, cuz foot pain sucks.
...now this thread has me worried that I've been pinned as 'that guy' lol.
I'm both of these people. I like foots. But also, I have terrible foot pain due to high arches, and have had mostly jobs where I'm on my feet for hours. I will talk insoles and inserts whenever possible, as a way of helping people with foot pain. What I do not do is have any interest in talking foot stuff as a kink/fetish. Kink and fetish are reserved for consensual bedroom (or camping) times. There's no connection between the foot pain convos and the foot kink whenever that happens. People who try to stealth their way into nonconsensually getting people to play into their kink are creepy, and not good people.

I don't agree with this. I think it's weirder to be into knees than feet. (Personally I'm an ass man, so I'm looking down at you all benevolently.)
Some people have mentioned that some people with foot fetishes have a habit of trying to get people they find attractive to talk about their feet which makes everyone uncomfortable, to the point that it's kinda of the main reason I think a stigma has formed against it.
If I met someone who for some reason I suspected was into feet, I'd be a little wary until I felt they weren't gonna be weird about people's feet, but I think if i met a knee fetish person, I'd be so surprised they exist that i wouldn't think about this aspect even though it's just as likely.
You've given me much to think about. Perhaps someday society will forgive the feet people, but not today it seems.
I'd also put calves above both, too. Not that I've heard of anyone having a calf fetish -- while I have unfortunately seen evidence of people into knees -- I think it's easier to understand someone into legs appreciating a shapely calf as well as the thigh.
Unpopular opinion but feet ain't even that bad. If you ever meet a man into knees, that's when you run
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Fr though, I can't think of knees ever mentioned as a fetish except for people trying to be silly, my own first comment on this post included 🤷
being into knees is arguably worse lol
Front knee is weird and gross
But back of the knee? Well....
Yeah I could get behind that

Hypothesis: Foot fetishes are a primary driving force behind the spread of genital warts.
Evidence: Oh hell no, I ain't putting that shit in my browsing history. Y'all got it from here.
Human papillomavirus HPV is responsible for warts on feet.
So genital warts, mostly HSV (Herpes). Not nice but not particularly harmful most of the time. Cold sores and genital warts. Mouth, genitals. Won't look nice but you won't die.
HPV - cancer.
Further investigation on the evidence may be required but social acceptability chart above may be justified.
If you have a foot fetish get vaccinated against HPV everyone.
Also not googling this. Please take this comment with the respect and authority it deserves. (None)
The HPV strains that cause warts are not the same ones that cause cancer, AFAIK
There are like dozens of different strains
In addition, HPV vaccines do not prevent warts, they only protect against the cancer-causing strains
Honestly I think the deepest red should be closer to the ankle, but idk.
Nice try, foot fetishist
All I'm saying is, it's a lot more commonplace than fetishizing from ankle to knee. Those are the real freaks as far as society as a whole is concerned.
You obviously haven't seen someone with calves that could crush your neck.
I really needed assurance my thigh fetish was socially acceptable, thanks
Alright, who here likes feet?
I like mine, they make standing and walking really easy.
I'd like to keep mine if that's the real question.

sigh. me. why can't i be normal
You're normal, you're just not usual. Also foot fetish is, like, the most standard fetish at this point.
Plus which, feet can be sexy as hell.

So I have an ex-friend that found out I'm into feet and WOULD NOT STOP harping on it for YEARS.
Telling me how disgusting it was, how much of a deviant it made me. At every fuckdamn opportunity. Making flat jokes that no one but him laughed at.
He was an ass eater, religiously, to the point it made some of his gfs uncomfortable.
How is liking a nice shaped pair of feet more disgusting than literally sticking your tongue where people shit?

why is the area near the hole more respectable than the area near the dirt? Who makes these rules and where do I file a complaint?
Dirt is dirty. The hole hopefully isn't, in fact now that I think about it I would argue that a dirty/unhygienic hole fetish is more shameful than a clean foot fetish 🤔
but not actually shameful, whatever people are into is fine as long as no one gets hurt, or they consent to getting hurt 🤷

Yeah you won’t see me hanging around those shin, knee pit, and back-of-the-upper-calf weirdos. Line’s gotta get drawn somewhere.
Yeah, I'm going to say that calves can be sexy (high heels are generally meant to accentuate them) and I find them more socially acceptable fetish wise than knees.
I see a lot of jokes about knee fetish in this thread. I dated a dude with a knee kink. It was disconcerting at first, but being the enlightened, nonjudgmental being I am, I went with it. Wasn't my thing at all, but honestly, the best word to describe it was inoffensive. He mostly just wanted to rub them, and occasionally get kneed in bed. Very meh experience.
