Observation for the "it's a fetish" case file

submitted by Notacyst from self.GenderCritical

When I'm reading comments on Reddit and see a user mention their MtF status (and they always mention it!), I sometimes go to their main profile to see what other subs they frequent, snort at any "do I pass?" selfies, and generally try to get a quick feel of what type of person they are. I've noticed that 9 out of every 10 of these profiles I view, I am first asked to bypass the NSFW disclaimer.

The vast majority of TIMs spend at least some of their time sharing pornographic images of themselves or others. Frequently, they share hentai images of women drawn distressingly young and with impossible body proportions in situations no one in their right mind would consent to.

I'm unsure if my observation has been pointed out previously. It seems highly likely to have been discussed before, but I have yet to see it mentioned. Admittedly, I have seen their hentai obsessions discussed, but not specifically how many TIMs are unashamed of sharing graphic images/videos/GIFs on what appears to be their MAIN Reddit account. If I were the type of person interested in sharing pornography of myself or others, I would AT LEAST hide that shit on an alt account.

A key trait of narcissists is they crave constant attention, whether it's positive or negative attention doesn't seem to matter much.

Yup. I still remember an instance where a dude came to r/itsafetish to debate ppl there. Well you could go see his profile and he posted in subreddits that fetishised black men and similar stuff (sissy/bimbo), while he claimed he wasn't pornsick anymore. But the fetishistic comments where like 4 days old lmao.

In my experience, everytime I would do that of checking profiles after reading an "as a TW", it would most of the time lead me to nsfw warnings, and the aforementioned subreddits and its derivates.

i always get a bug on reddit where it asks me again and again and again to confirm that i want to see NSFW content on someones profile page. That makes every profile page with 18+ posts unusable for me.

You made me think of a post I saw yesterday by a TiM comedian: https://imgur.com/a/y8B8Bas And then he says “that’s normal, everyone does it”, but idk seems fetishistic to me 🤔
