This topic came up at work and my coworkers of all genders had no answer. Never met or heard of one.

    some guy said "women with clothes on", to which another replied " going outside must be a blast for you".

    Good god, the coomers are evolving past their weaknesses. They can't be defeated by going outside anymore!

    To be entirely fair to the foot fetishists, their reputation is being smeared by a small group of them that the whole can't really police. Think of a counter factual of the library annecdote: if some guy was taking secret pics of students' breasts, it would be seen as him being gross as opposed to people who like breasts being gross.

        Yeah, I think it's the ick factor that works against the feet dudes. Anyone defending them will be seen as one of them.

          There's a lot of social significance around this kink which is deeply fascinating! I figured that there must be a good reason for people freaking out, but am socially illiterate and so did not know until told ✨
