Has Elmo's problems put a Hurt on our Community?

[curtigofun]

i don't know if anyone else know but the actor for Elmo From Sesame Street or better known as Tickle Me Elmo

Was fired and Caught for getting involved with youngens Talk of molestation and other stuff involving kids ( when tickling is your role it always gets brought up in a sensitive way)

but my question has this Issue put and Hurt on the Tickling community?

with this attention to a cartoon "Tickle" monster i dunno if thats good that tickling will get the unwanted popularity with people saying tickling is bad or something it could put TMF in danger or just Tickling in general

i Just wanted to get your guys opinion

Did Elmo Ruin us?
Did the Tickle monster Put a Curse on us?

It's a toy that is just suppose to be fun and silly. I would bet 80% of all people don't even know tickling can and is a sexual fetish

This might come as a shocker, but hardly anybody that isn't in the tickle community knows that a tickle community even exists.

He said it perfectly! They're not even thinking about it.

i know it sounds strange to ask such a question but i just wanted to ask

This exactly. When someone asks me what I'm into on the chat and I tell them, they don't even understand what I mean.

Worse was probably Sandusky, the testimony given against him tickling a student in the shower, and there's been very little additional discussion since then relating tickling to abuse or its being sexualized. It's hard to know how additional monitoring on chat sites would manifest, exactly, but I don't know that that's happening ... don't know that it's not, either, of course. *shrug*

It's a reasonable question! But yeah, most people don't even seem to know our fetish exists. Like stockytickler said, Sandusky was way worse anyways.

I dont think Elmo has anything to so with adults. I think the argument or question would be has it hurt the gay community.

One other thing I would like to add, 98% of the westernized population has probably engaged in tickling someone of being tickled by someone. It's just something that occurs. And in my experience I think almost everyone had some tickler in them and don't realize it until they do engage in it..... Take this motto: tickling or being tickled is daily occurrence, being peed on is not

Met several people who definitely don't!

Creepier is the idea that people might use a role as a puppeteer for children's shows to gain access to and lure underage victims, which frankly hurts Sesame Street more than us. He probably thought his role as a voice actor made him too low profile for anyone to track him until he ... wasn't. That said, this is the sort of thing that comes out. You're not going to be able to be in such a high profile children's show and have sex with an underage person and it's just gonna blow over. Even if he's completely innocent, tho, he's screwed. 🙁

I think it'll be a quick "haha" and walk off. Unless of course your a sociopathic moron like one of my friends who can't decipher the possibility that it may be arousing because "everybody hates tickling". No, no, my dear fool, every body hates YOU, not tickling. People DO happen to retain the most negative memories of things for the longest, and sometimes, it happens to be tickling that gets the bad wrap from the start because some oaf exercised no caution or awareness when he decided to scrape his fingers and nails across someone's soles..

I haven't watched Sesame Street since I was a kid, so I'm not sure about this; other than the toy, is Elmo even associated with tickling? Does he really count as a "tickle monster", as the OP calls him?

More important - this story is about sex with a minor, period. There's no mention of tickling at all, so why it should bother us as tickle fetishists escapes me. The world doesn't revolve around our interest, or even pay it that much attention.

I was going to say something like this. One thing, if the OP is calling Elmo a tickle monster, he is not. Tickle monsters do the tickling. it's Tickle ME Elmo. not Tickle YOU Elmo. Elmo is the one that gets tickled, he doesn't do the tickling. Therefore, he's not a tickle monster. Another thing, the character Elmo and the Tickle Me Elmo are not even really associated with each other. It was just a character that people loved and the people who made the doll felt like that would be the right character so they used him. It's not like he gets tickled on the show. Thirdly, as other people have mentioned. People aren't going to think of the tickle fetish world now that he got in trouble.

So to recap, Elmo and Tickle Me Elmo are not really associated with each other. Elmo is not a tickle monster. And people aren't going to think Elmo molested some kids. Then think about the Tickle Me Elmo doll, then think about the Fetish world and think we're all evil. They will just think the person playing Elmo is a bad person.

Lastly, I didn't know he got in trouble.

He was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy. It's turned into a real mess; the (now-grown up) accuser later took back his story, but now another alleged victim has come forward - and there might be more, according to his lawyer. Whether the guy was really molesting teens or this new accuser is just making a cash grab remains to be seen.

Ah. I'm reminded of Michael Jackson... found innocent and then another accuser pops up....

Was this a recent thing?
