Feedism is one of the most subversive kinks out there.
it goes against established beauty standards. It celebrates fatness not just in the more socially acceptable "curvy" version, but in all its glory, with large hanging bellies, stretch marks, double chins etc.
it's anti-capitalist. It's about transforming your body in a way that might render it "useless" to the exploitative capitalist system. It's about putting comfort before efficiency, "laziness" before productivity.
it challenges our deepest unconscious beliefs about health and moral goodness. Many people don't realize that they think of "healthy" as "morally good". It's the root of fathpobia: believing that fat people are inherently unhealthy, and believing that being unhealthy is automatically a moral failing. As if eating a salad was virtuous. Feedism sticks a middle finger to that.
it exposes the whole diet industry as a massive cash grab it is.
feedism challenges our perception of autonomy and what is a "valid" choice to make. Many people like to say that they are radically pro-choice and that as long as these choices don't harm others, people are entitled to do whatever they want with their bodies. But in reality, many people object when they see others make radical changes to their bodies. We see it with transphobes, and we see it with people who treat feedists badly. Even within feedism, there is some opposition towards more extreme versions of this kink - but an informed choice to transform your body in a way you see fit is a valid human choice. Nobody should choose for you what you can do with your body.
