ORIGINAL: Dscouple7383 I honestly knew that I would get these kinds of responses. And no, I won't back peddle. I know it's not a popular stance to take, and it sounds very harsh. I share how I'm feeling, and I won't apologize for that. Thing is, I KNOW there are other people out there who feel the same way I do. You are all entitled to have your opinion, and I won't insult you for having it. Well Kudos for sticking to your guns, but the world is full of people who don't accept people based on appearance, including much of the corporate world, where employees are expected to reflect the values of the corporation, including marketability - I'm old enough to remember the first big media case of employment discrimination, it was a woman who worked at a car rental agency in an airport, fired because she had been doing it for 20 years and she was older and chunkier than when she first started. I think she ended up winning, but it didn't matter, Hooters, the entire fashion and media industries, myriad industries where you have to interact with the public, none of them will touch you if you're "fat and ugly", and ditto for the vanilla dating world, where people are mercilessly rated on appearance. In BDSM you are pretty much guaranteed to be treated like a sexual object at least part of the time, regardless of how you look, we're very democratic that way. So yes, that is attractive to a fairly broad demographic, including people who have gone their entire live without anyone ever treating them like a sexual object dammit. So maybe it will help if you stop thinking of them as unattractive people and more like... people. And, the young, pretty, Narcissistic fetishists often tend to segregate themselves, you apparently haven't been invited. I don't know what to tell you except quit worrying about what everybody else is doing, there are plenty of fashion shows going on ever at fet if you're into modelling or something, CM is less about appearances, another "are all subs fat?" thread is an auto-pan.
