Cringe city. What's wrong with people? Can we not do this? haha
This is just a modern version of "The Question" and it's just as crummy as it was before social media.
All versions of "The Question" basically come down to pure objectification of the individual they are directed at. They all posit "Will the target supply an answer that will let me get my jollies off?" and are 100% inward looking and about the askers own pleasure, with zero thought of the subject as a person.
No hidden operation here, just someone being a clod.
Myriads

Tickle fetish in general just seems home to be some intensely awkward motherfuckers.
Women endure harassment all the time. It's just that, in this case, it involves bondage and tickling fetishism.
Have you seen this documentary?

Ironically, it's one of the most innocuous fetishes around, and it's easy to incorporate into "vanilla" relationships. The awkward mofos seriously don't realize how easy they've got it.
Yet both of you don't seem to recognize the split this forum creates in the Era it was even created. TMF was created in what, 2001? Plenty of dudes coming off age probably found this at the height of AOL instant messenger, MySpace, the cropping up of dating sites, etc. A lot of people in general grew up online in the wrong areas with the wrong crowds with the wrong information on the wrong techniques. Doesn't that create a bit of a natural evolution?
Better yet, how many posts do you read from guys "how they got into it" and it was some arbitrary flash in the pan tickling related bullshit and they went "I'm in"?
I really don't see it as too awkward, maybe a bit shy/ passive-aggressive (nature of tickling in general). But our whole culture, the cartoons, videos, this forum, etc is an extremely easy target as a result of it. By virtue of sharing, there's a subtle guilt by association (even if people don't actually feel it) by comparing against the mainstream attitude towards sexuality. XYZ streamer showing "another guy like this" should be indicative that there's social shit going wrong for a disproportionate population of people trying to make it as is.
I always wondered if the fetish has some relation to people who are on the spectrum. It seems like a lot of the ones that do these kind of things lack social awareness and can't pick up cues.
Not to offend people here who are autistic or have aspergers, but it was a curiosity I've had.

And one need look no further than this forum to find cringeworthy posts within seconds.
As one of the old guard who pre-date the TMF, I can attest that this kind of thing has always been around. As soon as I hear or read "the question", my radar always kicks in to analyse the motivation behind the asking of it.
One of the most embarrassing things I saw recently was the hugely popular Cameo thread in the Celebrities section on this site. It's not so much that the question was being asked but the obvious lengths people were going to in order to ask it – pretending to be college girls in order to ask "a random question"...... Really?
Many things have changed since the TMF was first established, one of which is that the outside world is no longer oblivious to the fact that tickling fetishists exist. So, if you are someone who thinks you can get away with asking the question and it being seen as some kind of innocent quirk, please be aware that more and more people know exactly what you are doing and are viewing you as a pretty seedy creep.
I still visit the TMF occasionally but don't get as involved in conversation as much as I used to because, while there are many decent folk, there is also endless immaturity and countless objectifying conversations that make me want to look away.
Another thing that has changed since the site was established is that there are drastically fewer women here. I'm in touch with some who I met via this site and similar others. They no longer visit here for precisely the reasons I've mentioned – immaturity, misogyny and creepiness.
If this site and the people on it are a community then we all need to be mindful of what is posted to make it a more welcoming place for women, i.e. somewhere that people portray themselves as though they are in the real world. How many tunnel-visioned, slavering, tongue-lolling cyber circle-jerk fetish obsessives would you want to meet? It's not down to the mods to censor every conversation, so people engaging in the conversations have to maintain a certain level of class (without the almost inevitable incendiary backlash that occurs whenever constructive criticism takes place).
This site is, and has always been, iconic and a sanctuary for many of us who used to think we were the only ones. However, one day someone in the public eye will be "outed" as having a tickling fetish and, if the media/social media want to put that person and anyone else with the fetish in a bad light, they will not have to look far to find ways to do so.
There's no conspiracy to make tickle fetishists look bad. It's tickling fetishists that do it and thousands more seem to applaud it.

Truth be told I've seen behavior as bad from younger people who never signed up to TMF and got most of their influence from the height of the Tumblr porn era and "free" YouTube videos. I actually kind of agree with this guys train of thought;
Whether it "attracts more" of these people or the scene is simply so small that they become more apparent, there's something particularly unusual that, as far as I've been made aware, other fetish circles don't have quite as much of an issue with.
Isn't this true about most of the forums here? Are people posting images in the foot and belly forums because they are thinking about the subject as a person? That is absurd.
Agree.This ^ .

I love how there are so many self righteous posters on this forum, yet a lot of the same people complaining are more than happy to check out these "creepy" vids.
