WRONG. Fetish equals sexual, yes. However, abdl does NOT equal sexual. Do you even know what love is, or how babies act?
This right here is a big part of why we are so misunderstood and often thought of as pedophiles ourselves. Obviously this is not correct and needs to be pointed out every time we are misrepresented like this.
. . . AB/DL is a fetish. Weather or not you get sexual gratification out of it or not is irrelevant. Your personal opinion that its "not" a fetish is also irrelevant because it is a fetish. Also what does love have to do with this?
fetish
/ˈfɛtɪʃ; ˈfiːtɪʃ/
noun
1.
something, esp an inanimate object, that is believed in certain cultures to be the embodiment or habitation of a spirit or magical powers
2.
a form of behaviour involving fetishism
any object that is involved in fetishism
3.
any object, activity, etc, to which one is excessively or irrationally devoted: to make a fetish of cleanliness
Ab/dl sounds like 3 to me.
Regardless, I can see why you would think it's not a fetish. We would all very much like to say that ab/dl is not a fetish. But, the statement in itself. Adult Baby Diaper
Lover
I am a little. Do I get sexual gratification out of being a little? No, I do not. It's still a fetish.
Ab/dl = Fetish
Fetish = Sexual
Weather or not you get gratification out of it or not is not the point. By definition ab/dl is a fetish. Does this mean all fetishes are sexual? Not directly no. But you can still link it. Does Fetish automatically equal bad? No, it does not.
Fetish does not = Bad.
That would label every single person in the world a bad person because everyone has a fetish in some form or another.
The problem you have is the fact that most people associate ab/dl with pedophilia, NOT sexual things. The fact that its sexual has no influence on the opinion of people who are linking it to pedophilia. It's just like people who think petplay and ponyplay is bestiality, or bdsm is whatever the hell 50 shades of grey is, even though we all know its not. It's not the association with sexual that hurts us here, it's the false association of people OUTSIDE of the fetish who are arrogant and are looking to cause trouble by saying its pedophilic. Facts are facts. You can't argue with facts lest you try to look like an opinionated asshole. (Which we know you aren't so yeah. It would be unbecoming.)
Trying to say that my statement is false, only proves to those arrogant people that there is basis in the pedophilic link to ab/dl. Because it looks like we have something to hide. We look defensive and we shouldn't be. We have nothing to hide. Ab/dl has absolutely nothing to do with children and should not be depicted that way. However it is the narrow minded views of a select few people who have loud voices and the biased media in the world these days that would paint a pedophilic target on our fetish. We are not pedophiles, we know this, most other people know this. What does the opinion of a soccer mom who drives a mercedes G wagon in LA with a blog have to do with this? Absolutely nothing. Fuck that person, their biased narrow minded opinion thinking that we're all pedophiles is not something we should even dignify by discussing.
And again, I would like to now publicly state that this thread is a ticking time bomb and should have some sort of moderator intervention before it goes off the rails. I only hope that we can all conduct ourselves like civilized adults before inevitably someone is going to come in here with a butt hurt opinion that sets this topic aflame. I would like to request that everyone who is currently in this thread take a moment to think before typing and try to remain objective before this thread devolves into hate. We're all adults here, we're all civilized, we can have this debate without yelling at each other or throwing around accusations.
