Even if it wasn't AI...so what? No kink-shaming man, even if they're shitty people.
Have you ever heard the phrase "don't dip the pen in company ink"?
And Pay for my own ink?
In this economy???
But this is ridicule not because of a working relationship but because of the taboo related to sucking feet.
I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target's perception and how "they" want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.
It's the most fun dipping to have, what are you about?
No one's shaming the kink. It's a play on "Kissing the feet of your ruler", essentially implying subservience.
Every kink is a kink because the object of the kink holds some specific value or logic within the social context that is then relived or subverted within the kinky dynamic. If foot worshipping wasn't, historically and symbolically, an act of submission in society, it wouldn't be a kink at all.
The theory about foot fetishes is that the nerves between the genitalia and the feet run very close together in the backhaul. If you have crosstalk between the nerves, one stimulates the other. That's how you get sexual gratification from foot stimulation, or toe-curling orgasms.
In fact I was talking about "foot worshipping" and not foot fetish in general, which are arguably very different dynamics.
Again, no reason to shame people for sucking feet
Unless they're into that.
But this isn't about kink shaming foot fetishists - it's about the power dynamic and bruising Trump's ego. It's about as NSFW as you can get without getting into major trouble. Showing dommy mommy fElon in latex holding a leash and Trump on his knees wearing a pup mask on TVs in a government office would be hilarious and amazing, but I don't know if you'd survive long enough to laugh about it.
And this is not about the kink. It's about the shitters in the video.
It is gross to a lot of people & a sign of being a submissive. If you told someone that you're into toe-sucking & they made fun of you for it, that would be kink shaming. You can't expect everyone to be fine with toe-sucking though.
Update: Wow a lot of toe suckers down voting me. Must be hard for them to find partners so they think everyone should be fine with it. Prob even harder for ass eaters.
