With all due respect, buddy, no one looks down on members of this community more than the members within it....and most hatefully at that.
Oh stop that. While that might be true, every community, be it fetish, political, govermental, or otherwise, is it's own worst critic.
Besides, the point is not about how others look down on the 'members' individually, but how the 'vanilla' society thinks of the TK community as a whole.
"Dajerx (or ViperGTS or anyone else for that matter) is an asshole!" is alot different than "All people with tickling fetishes are creepazoids!"
See what I mean?
