Ignoring/avoiding people with certain fetishes/obsessions?

[Fusion200]

Is it normal? No, really, I'm not the one to judge, but there are some people I just can't take, thus, I can't be their friends or even be near them, mostly AB/DL's are the ones I avoid, anyone else here that feels the same way as I, thus avoiding people for a certain fetish/obsession? I can't be the only one, right?

Every time I meet a brony or furry I just kind of back away politely and cease conversation.

I actually don't mind bronys or furrys, I don't know, I just don't XD I'm mostly just disgusted by people who are into diapers XD Of course, there's some other things I avoid too, but those are probably illegal anyway XD

Someday, you too will have a fetish. What then?

 

[Regumika]

its no different than someone who has cancer. would you avoid them? because they either talk about death all the time, or are super optimistic.
what about someone that would soon die for some reason?
fetish is no different than any of those. you might be okay and say you want a child now, until you actually have one.. then it might hit you and you might feel different. which is sad, but its the reason why some men leave women when they become pregnant, those men just cant handle the realization.

the answer to OP: yes, it is normal for people to disassociate themselves from certain types of people/situation.

I usually don't care about fetishes, however, there are some that are over the limit for me XD

Whoa whoa whoa, now... cancer is a much more serious thing than this. You can't seriously compare the two.

People that have sex with dogs. Girls that are into rape play.

Um, there's a bit of a difference there. Like, girls are human, and can give consent. It's okay to have sex with females, lots of people do, it's pretty legal these days. Also, in rape-play, the key word is "play". Usually, hopefully, the scene is negotiated earlier so that both parties are consenting and aware of their boundaries, safety-word, etc.

When Bubbles the dachshund barks, for example, "arrff!" and licks his ballz, one should not assume that means, "yes, do me now, do me hard"... then again, I'm no expert in dog-speak. It's probably not a good idea to do it with Bubbles, they could get hurt, plus they can't really consent, plus its super gross, dude.

Can't think of anyone I avoid because of their personal choices, though not many openly share their fetishes. Those I avoid are because they are horrible disgusting human beings.

Sex is weird in general. If I don't have to hear about it I don't care.

I can kinda see where Regumika is coming from. I think he is trying to say that fetishes are something that just comes in your personality.. it's not something that you have control over? I mean, you have control over whether you do them or not, but to like something? I personally don't think there is anything wrong with any fetish - as long as no one gets hurt unwillingly, or if it gets very.. negative. If you know what I mean. Guess in short, I don't really care what your fetish is as long as you're cool, honest and we get along well.

This is the point i was trying to make, and also part of the main discussion of the OP. perhaps you can as you say you can. but maybe not for some.

say this person is cool and honest but is obsessed with UFO/alien/otherlifeform. would do strange things in the middle of nowhere because they really believe such things exist and would do rituals, take readings with their weird handcrafted machines or whatever these people do. No, im not talking about the casual believers, the topic is obsession/fetish right?

for the example, personally i would be avoiding/ignoring such person who is obsessed with UFO/alien etc etc.. because we do not fit each other. do i think this person is weird? yes. do i think this person is crazy? no.

so to wrap it back up to the OP. yes, i think avoiding/ignoring obsessions/fetish is completely normal. you might like some, have some, avoid some, and have others avoid you. completely normal.

I don't think liking animal porn and having cancer are two things that can be compared, especially not without lessening the severity of the latter's situation.

You avoid people because of their fetishes? Why? Are you afraid they're contagious? Do you think they're going to force you to participate? I mean, most people won't sit there and talk to you about this stuff unless you ask about it. Those who do like talking about it usually won't say anything if you just tell them it's too much for you. "I think you're cool, and I respect you as a person, but your kink bothers me."

 

[LeaningIntoTheMuse]

There are some fetishes that I can't understand or tolerate, but everyone has something unique about them.

Personally, I have a foot fetish/shoe fetish/stocking fetish, and that seems to weird girls out. So I hate being judged for my fetish, I'd hate to have someone else be judged by me for something that turns them on.

 

[perfanoff]

I have a boobs fetish.
That, and redhair.
Hmm. Any hair really.

 

[LeaningIntoTheMuse]

I have a vagina fetish.

Don't think that pedophiles are cool, respectable people. Not saying people with other exceptional fetishes are comparable, but some people creep me out just as much. Really it has less to do with them actually liking the stuff and more to do with it seeming to affect other aspects of their personality.

Actually, I was thinking of some people, like, on Deviantart, that only draw, like, diaper stuff, talk about it, their name includes the word "diaper" and their signature talks about how much they love it, they want everyone to know and wears them 24-7 for no real reason other than the kink, I just can't take the thought because I find it gross XD
