The (not exactly) Tumblr rabbit hole part 6: The Feabie -jeebies Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 While this isn’t exactly Tumblr, someone on my last post mentioned Feabie, which, upon my brave investigation, turned out to be a dating site for pigs and pig-fuckers (aka feeders). They have an FAQ on their site, and it is pretty horrific, so I decided to go through each section of the FAQ and add my commentary as usual. This post contains semi-nsfw text. This revolting drawing greets me as I enter the site. Is this supposed to draw me in? What’s the point? And every one of these fat faces say clearly “that wasn’t just a fart”. On first glance this is Tinder, but it turns out to be the mobile version of their site. Full of painted pigs. So, uh, Tinder.  Okay, so this is a feedee. I’m not sure what circumstances would cause one to develop this fetish, but I’m willing to venture a guess that there is a great deal of piggies who use this fetish to validate their eating and find a partner that isn’t revolted by them.  And my second point - feederism is a fetish, not a sexual orientation. If you walked up to me and said “Hey, what’s your sexual orientation,” I’d reply with “I prefer women, I’m a lesbian.” If I asked what yours was, and you replied with “I am a man or woman who likes the idea or physical act of growing bigger, fatter and/or rounder, I’m a feeder,” that would not be a valid response.  Here we have a definition of the male pig. I’m cracking up at the phrase “May be fat by circumstances or genetics.”  I understand that becoming fat is out of your control sometimes. Terrible circumstances and genetics can make you gain weight, whether you want to or not. Poor piggy.  Here is the female version, which is mostly word-for-word as the male version. I noticed, however, they left out the part about what feedees are called in the gay community.  Female feedees in the gay community? We call them lesbians.  I’m going to die alone with my cats, aren’t I? Just a lonely shitlesbian. So they finally acknowledge that maybe packing on the pounds is unhealthy. Here’s the difference - rock climbing is dangerous, yes, and I assume the risk of plummeting to my death every time I step foot on the wall. But rock climbing is not doing permanent harm to my body, in fact, it is making me stronger. And as for driving a car? Safety is but an illusion. Sitting here, typing this out, I know my house could burn down from faulty wiring this very moment. I know a shooter walking down the street can fire a bullet through my window and kill me. But there’s necessary things we have to do in life, like driving a car, and we assume the risk that comes with it. However, gaining weight, unlike transportation, is not necessary, and only serves to make things more difficult.  So the car driving thing is a pretty terrible analogy. I’d compare it to smoking. It looks cool (and if you have a feeder partner, so does gaining weight,) but it’s doing permanent damage to your body. Because there’s no going back. Here’s another section, still riddled with fatlogic. No, you cannot become fat by accident. You can’t accidentally overeat every single day. Even if you were awful at estimating calorie counts, the amount of pounds you pack on should be a wakeup call.  It also says “they [BBW/BHM] typically do not find their own size to be a turn on—though they enjoy that others like them.” That sums it up. They are ugly, disgusting creatures, and they know it, as much as they try to deny it, they still know that only people with the most disturbed fetishes will go for them. Which explains something I’ve been wondering about in my previous post - why do they post selfies, most of them inherently sexual, and throw a fit when the feeder porn blogs go after them? As @Watercoloring put it, “Maybe deep down inside fats know it's terrible to be their size, and that someone who idolizes their body shape must have something seriously wrong with them…” I think that about sums it up. Here is probably the worst. NO! Feederism is not a sexual orientation! It is nothing like denying your sexuality! Yes, there are people with extreme fetishes that must be present in order for them to enjoy sex, but that is incredibly rare. This FAQ was written to draw people into this site. “BECOME A FEEDEE OR COMMIT SUICIDE!” Which is what every single part of fat (what, culture? community? existence?) is. It’s merely a front for validating their eating habits, and they will suck any person they can into their toxic trap. Whether it be HAES, whether it be FA, whether it be sites like Feabie, it’s all the same.  Edit: New post is up! (And yes, I have braved r/immobile in this one).
