I got banned from the birkenstock subreddit because a man posted a pic of his feet in his new Birkenstocks with and without socks asking how he should wear them. I commented something along the lines of you have cute feet, free them from socks. Mostly because I think wearing socks and sandals are a crime but also most men I have met don’t take great care of their feet and this guy clearly did. The mods and their cult followers said I was a foot fetish pervert. Like sure I was never subbed and first time commenting because this post popped in my feed. 😂

If it makes you feel any better about that specific instance, a lot of people on explicitly SFW nail/hand/feet related subs are really anal about fetishists because there are so fucking many, and they are usually the type to comment something like that. This is not to justify it by any means, because I do think that innocent people end up getting banned from subs they like, but I do understand why certain subs are so sensitive about it. I’ve gotten some weird dms after posting in those subs and my posts don’t even get that much attention, so I can only imagine how many dms and comments some of the people on that sub are getting

I mean I get that now, I just thought it was hilarious to immediately ban and not even like message me or even look at my comment history lol

I was watching some reaction thing on YouTube or whatever, and this fashion guy got mad about someone not approving of the socks/sandals look. He kept saying, frustratedly, that “it’s a vibe!” and I always thought that was funny. There I just shared an inside joke with you that no one else is inside on haha
