Nnonononononono, Kalamos, I was agreeing with you. Sorry, I need to learn how to do the quote thing.
Being a fetishist does NOT make you prone to anti-social behaviour.
That is why I think your threads do not rest on factual solid grounds.
Let us recap: you said the movie theater molester was giving tickle-fetishists a bad name.
I would like to rebuke that point by saying that he was giving *himself* a bad name.
The girl called for the cops not because the man had *tickled* her, but because he had *touched* her without consent.
I cannot say how that girl will feel in the future towards *foot* fetishists.
She'll likely take a dim view on them, but claiming that a lone dysfunctional fetishist can ruin a whole community's good name is, in my opinion, far fetched.
We agree that fetishes are just a different sexual outlook; another way to sex.
If you allow me this example, a lone fetishist molester is, in my opinion, no more likely to mar a community's reputation, than a "vanilla" molester is likely to ruin all adult men's image, on a larger scale.
Why? Second point: because we are a much more loosely knit community than you would presume.
We have little outward signs for outsiders to recognise: we do not have rules of conduct or a strict dress code.
Tickling community does not exist in the same terms as BDSM or Gay communities exist, for instance.
The reason is simple: we do not need those rules to dictate our conduct.
Tickling is harmless compared to Bondage, and most people are ticklish, to some degree.
We do not need special tools, special locales, special partners.
Tickling is often a nuance of more deeply rooted fetishes.
It really becomes a fetish when you already have a fixation for a body part, or a restraining tool.
Else, it would likely pass relatively unnoticed, since most people love to gang up and victimise friends and relatives by tickling them.
This is why I don't think that lone molester can really harm this community, yet.
As far as I know, this community is too thinly spread to be really harmed by a single ignominious event.
Foot fetishists would be more likely to be blamed, anyway, since they are more widely known.
Finally, and replying to your posts from over other thread: as long as domination/non-consensual fantasies remain such, you'll have a hard time telling people to refrain.
Men are still free to fantasise: in a perfect world, we would be able to focus hormones at will, with no need for fantasies or masturbation.
You should not call people sick because they have an imaginary sexual life; what you are condoning is thought police.
Just as you cannot punish a woman for dreaming of killing a man, you should not punish - or harshly criticise - a man for the much milder "crime" of getting off to a private fantasy.

Or else, I'm gonna get jailed, just 'cause I keep thinking the whole time of slaughtering all those guys I had a disagreement with.

Woah, that *was* long-winded, eh?
