>>98628963Yes, actually. I've had some legitimate theories about that shit for awhile now. I think people en mass shitposting certain fetishes has a direct correlation to those fetishes being on the rise. Look at /aco/ and diapers for fuck's sake.
I can't be certain, but I think it might have something to do with those fetishes being brought to peoples attention who might not have known about them otherwise, or possibly people becoming more comfortable talking about them because they see more and more people shitposting and think it's legit or that they wont be laughed at as much because people think they're shit posting if they talk about it. People posting them and then coming to the realization that they themselves may have those fetishes is really just a "Haha isn't it funny? Haha wonder what it must be like, right? As a joke!" sort of effect. They do it as a joke, but feed into the growth of the fetish at large and run the risk of discovering something about themselves in the process they don't want to know. Then they try to roll with it like it's all an act.
Let me be real here
>>98629094Hey, fart fetish anon, how many pictures do you have saved for this kind of shit posting? For real, let me know how big the folder is.
>>98629042It wouldn't be the first time. People forget that Moot used to create quarantine boards and let them sit for months collecting IPs just so he could ban everyone who ever posted on them. Everyone thought /mlp/ was going to go that route for months after it was made. /Pol/, too. I'm still not convinced that isn't totally going to happen at some point in the near future.
