Tickling fetishists on youtube...

[Artoo]

So, I was browsing youtube just now, and I stumbled across this VLogger who'd been messaged on youtube asking if he was ticklish and if he would be willing to be tickled in a video.

(NOTE; PLEASE WATCH TO THE END BEFORE COMMENTING ON IT - IT GET'S PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE AT THE END)

So, it got me thinking. To me, this video highlights the innapropriateness of many of the tickling fetishists on youtube (you know the ones, when there's an innocent video of people having a tickle fight, filled with comments of "u shud tickle her feet more", "dude tie her up next time lol" or, "I fapped to this lol").

Obviously, the guy in the video puts it (tickling fetishism) in perspective, after comparing it to fetishes like self-amputation and defecating on a womans breasts, but I really really wish that people would have more restraint, and more common sense. What better way to alienate "normal" people by acting like complete freaks all the time?

BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh.... my sides.... stop.... oh the pain....

Oh... Oh.... oh... O.K. now that I survived that clip without suffocating, I will say that I must agree with Artoo on this one... even if I found the whole comic delivery hysterical.

Restraint and common sense in a situation like this would be a much more intelligent decision... and would certainly be better for the community.

I LOVE this guy!

Heheh...I love that by the end of the vid, he completely changed his mind about tickling. And his delivery on the whole subject of fetishes was great.

And yeah, for fuck's sake, use some restraint people. You know who you are. You give all of us a bad rep.

Ive had a rubbish day, This clip has fixed it all!!! epic stuff, I liked the ending 😀 "ok, Ticklings fine"

 

[LD_Tickler]

That dude's probably one of us. The whole thing was a clever ploy to further our interests. 😀

 

[Tiger.Lily]

That was hilarious. Simply hilarious. 😀

 

[TMF Jeff]

That was funny, and I completely agree with the point you're making. Everytime I look at a mainstream clip on youtube, I cringe at the inevitable barrage of people trying to be subtle and cool, saying "Wow, that was cute, but you should have got her feet!!!"

It just makes my skin crawl.

"Chub Tickler...like chubby tickler! Like me! I'm fat!"

LAWLLL

I'm sorry. I just fucking love it.

 

[ViperGTS]

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

"Arousal by thinking about castration. That's...hot?"

"...'Kay. Tickling's fine."

 

[Artoo]

I love the way he trails off while he's describing Chilli Dogging...😱

I would have to know what image this guy generally sports, and what kinds of letters he generally gets, to know how I feel about the E-mail he got from "Chubtickler." I don't even have any way of knowing he got such a letter. And with the word "FETISH" flashing on the screen while he talked, I'm wondering, is this a fetish blog, or was it just a one-time segment on fetishism?

A quick glance at his channel shows us he is "a stay-at home dad and comedy writer who likes to blog, vlog and podcast in his spare time." He's the #12 most watched Canadian comedian on youtube.

I'd assume the word "fetish" popped up so he could use it as a screencap for the videos thumbnail, using it to draw attention to the video.

I had a look for "ChubTickler" on youtube, and various misspellings of the same name, but got nothing. It might mean that there never was any letter, but it also might mean they closed up their account; the video in the OP is over a year old, after all.

For reference, here's some of his comedy.
