Title: Episode 170: Tickle Me Weirdo
Post by: Lemon on March 20, 2015, 09:30:14 am
with Jack Chick Victor Laszlo Boots Raingear Frank West Adam Bozarth and Lemon content for this episode was compiled by Caroline edited by Adam Bozarth.
Why do we like to laugh? A lot of reasons, really, but let's just go with "because it feels good". But if something just "feels good", does that mean that people on the internet will turn it into a fetish? Well, yes of course. It exists, so people on the internet turn it into a fetish. For this episode, we're examining the world of tickling enthusiasts; it's an overwhelmingly British community of people for whom "coochie coo" plays a disturbingly important role in their lives. This week, The F Plus lives in a Marxist Utopia.

Now that I have listened to it, yep, nowhere near as creepy. Almost the polar opposite, where instead of insisting that no, this obviously sexual thing isn't sexual, it's just a competely nonsexual thing that these people go crazy for. It's way more just ridiculous as opposed to repressed.

Also surprised it took almost 200 episodes to get to tickling, although maybe this was because the topic seemed too bland before, kind of why the F Plus hasn't done a pure foot fetish episode.

Something I keep wondering about in these fetish episodes, and that I REALLY wondered about this episode, is why do these fetishists indulge in forcing their fetish on people while in public places in situations which couldn't possibly in any sane universe turn into an orgasm of any sort? Like the man tickling women's armpits in his British yoga class. Why? What's the point? If she dislikes it (and they all do, you ass hole who thinks a fear grimace is a flirty smile) then you're a creep, if she does like it and things heat up just like in your improbably fantasies, you're a creep with a boner in yoga class and you can't do anything about it. None of them can REALLY believe they're going to tickle these women out of class and into the bedroom so why the fuck would you do weird fetish things in public and give yourself untouchable boners and awkward tension, why, what's the point, is the secret fetish fucking up the life of innocent bystanders? Because the lift and carry assholes did this too and if I cared to remember more of these high;ly specific fetishists I'm sure I'd remember more examples too. Do I just not understand being a sad obsessive man

So I popped open that Marxist monster cockysis of tickling (http://www.tickle-brits.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5124) and lol it turns out the dude's a Maoist-Third Worldist.
Long story short they're the among the kookiest of the hardcore left, they're into the idea that the only true proletariat are those who live in the third world so kill whitey, Mao and the totally great with no downsides whatsoever Cultural Revolution, spelling America AMERIKKKA, that HATE AMERIKKA beat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsOMEUamYkc), all that stuff. They were "big" in LF for a while in that half-ironic half-serious you-can-never-tell-which-is-which LF way.
Basically it's a total surprise that one of those dudes is a tickle virgin writing a post about tickle marxism on the tickle forums for absolutely no one, that doesn't fit with with how normal MTW people usually are

Weirdly enough that MTW review archive didn't talk about AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, although they do give Public Enemy a mixed-to-positive review (http://www.prisoncensorship.info/archive/etext/bookstore/music/hiphop/publicenemy.html)

Essentially, yes. There are several threads on one of the sites about this exact topic, most of them originating with the delightfully named 'DontAskJusTckle'. It seems like lack of consent is part of the thrill, at least for that guy, and he assumes everybody else is like him. He has many words of wisdom. For instance:
Keep your eyes open for opportunity. Your moment will come.
What kind of opportunity, you ask?
The successful tickling of strangers starts with opportunity. In this case an opportunity occurs when a scenario conducive to tickling a stranger without repurcussion presents itself. As an extremely unlikely example, let's imagine you happen across a beautiful women blindfolded and tied to a pillar in an otherwise deserted subway station with no cameras. That would be an opportunity.
The opportunity for sexual assault.

It's interesting to me how one of the shared elements between the foot-fetish forum members and the ticklebrits was all the quasi-incest content ("my sister's feet smell really good!", "my brother's always tickling me!", etc.).
I think it's because activities like "tickling" and "having no shoes on" are things that the average person wouldn't think twice about doing to/in front of their family members, but can so easily metamorphose into something sexual.

GOD, I can't tell you how much I hate being right in this forum. But I don't know what I expected. Still, I don't know how none of these opportunists have wised up to the fact that zero percent of opportunities actually go where they want them too. Unless the world of nonconsentual tickling is even worse than I imagined. uuuuughhhhhhhhhhhh

I hate to disagree with the boner theory, but I must since there are no boners present.
Even the fantasies are devoid of sexual contact or desire. That might be from Caroline's sample, but it really seems like this "fetish" is just another one of those things that bring irrational happiness.
It might be a conflation of sexual sensations with tickling sensations. Or maybe these weirdos decided that tickling is as taboo as sexual activity and they've convinced themselves tickling is as erotic as any form of sexual touch? I don't know.
This, the L&C people, and a few others make me question where the sex is in these "fetish" communities. I mean, by their definition, I have a caffeine fetish, a podcast fetish, a receiving my Amazon orders fetish, and a Schadenfreude fetish. They all bring me great joy, they often involve hapless strangers, and there's no boners involved ever (except readings with Bunny Bread).
I think the internet is making everyone unfuckable, and maybe that's good for the planet? It's horrible for Society.

I think it's great for society. Fetish communities isolate fetishists and prevent them from sexually interacting with other people. If all the ticklefreaks stay in their little ticklebubble, then no one has to find out about this after a year of marriage.
(The tickle community is a bad example because some of them explicitly get off on tickling strangers, but I feel like the point in general can stand.)

I think that most people with weird fetishes are able to find partners and lead normal lives, it's just that fetish communities on the Internet are an example of self selection. A socially adjusted foot fetishist will get over himself and limit his fetish to kissing his wife's feet before sex or something, while a broken Internet one will go to a forum and complain how his girlfriend's big toes just don't have the right shape for him.
