I think we must have had very different experiences in life. I think the only fetish I ever hear about in the news in a ‘bad way’ is feet.
In the past two or three decades, I want to say there have been at least one or two stories per year about some cop in the area letting people off of tickets if they’ll let the officer lick their feet. We have incredibly large furry conventions, anime conventions, tattoo conventions, reptile owner conventions, and probably more that touch on various kinks and fetishes, but you never hear about any of those sexual shenanigans in the news… so feet fetish folks finding themselves featured on frontline feeds frequently from the news is quite the contrast.
Well, there was Rainfurrest, which was so bad that I know the name off the top of my head without even being in the furry scene. From what I’ve heard it was an outlier organized by people who’d been banned from other conventions so by no means typical.
But it’s not like I’ve never heard of a furry convention going wrong.
Oh yeah there are a ton of bdsm conventions, major cities will often have multiple a year. And there are issues and drama for certain, but we generally try to police our own and our problems tend towards being that well established members of the community who do a lot sometimes utilize the trust and respect they have to be predatory, especially to new people, just like every other community.
Foot fetishists’ misbehavior is the stuff like you described, though they’re really outshone in awfulness by body type fetishists, who do the same stuff and so much more
And tbh I think foot fetishists’ big problem is their misbehavior comes from the shame and awkwardness they have about it. And i bet you can find similar stories with far more common body part fetishes like breasts and butts. Like, I’m a breast fetishist for sure and don’t get the appeal of feet, but I know some folks who are all about feet and are totally respectful people and I know plenty of folks who can’t act properly about tits.
Yeah, that’s an ACAB problem more than a footsie problem. This is a mathematical function that always resolve to the same constant : let police(x) a function that describes an action (x) that is done by multiple officers over many iterations, and we can say that police(x)= bastardry
I haven’t gotten a ticket in years, but I think the absolute cheapest tickets are over $100, speeding will be somewhere between $180-300 depending on how much over you were going, and the really big boys like repeated no insurance or passing school busses can climb to $500-1000.

Letting people off the hook in exchange for foot stuff an entirely different problem. I think the focus misplaced.

That’s uh…that’s wild. I suppose it’s true though, you dig deep enough into just about anything and depravity will surface one way or another.
Where do you live where cops licking feet regularly makes the news??
What does a ticket cost? I’d let any1 lick my smelly feet for 20 bucks.
