my sixth reason: this has gotten better, generally speaking, but sometimes i think about the underrepresented body types. such as people with hourglass syndrome (something that i have) that causes the stomach to look like the letter “B”. but honestly, that’s more of my self projection.
my seventh reason: one of the biggest issues i have. trying to talk about ocs with someone who’s in this community, but they keep circling around and relating it to tickling. i know people fantasize about my ocs tickling them, and i don’t mind! but when i want to talk about my ocs in a non-tickle intended way, please don’t start listing off the ways my oc can tease you or pin you or fluster you. my characters have feelings. they’re sensitive, they have emotions, they aren’t just your tickle machines.
my eighth reason: ok, i lied. this is one of my biggest reasons. this community does not understand basic boundaries. there is a sfw side and an nsfw side. let’s stay on each other’s designated sides, alright? nsfw blogs, stop liking content from minors— thats GROSS. sfw blogs, stop liking content from NSFW blogs, that’s equally as GROSS. check the profiles from which you are liking content from. stop reblogging sfw tickle art and branding it as nsfw for your fetish. i don’t care if you get turned on by tickling. i really don’t. but stop liking content and reblogging content from minors (because majority of the tickle artists on here, come on let’s be honest, ARE MINORS.) i’ve had my fair share of weirdos dming me and liking + reblogging my content, as a minor, and it’s disgusting and honestly, hypocritical. i’ve had to block 40+ NSFW accounts, and i know bots can exist, ofc, but majority of them were run by actual GROWN ADULTS. now, i say it’s hypocritical because the accounts say “MINORS DNI” ect, ect, yet they’re liking MINORS’ content, that usually has “SFW” RIGHT IN THE TAGS.
my ninth reason: i’ll be honest. this is something more to do with me. jealousy has honestly because a really big (and unhealthy) part of this community. i know there’s people who don’t admit they’re jealous of someone else because they’re getting tickled in front of them, because they don’t want to be labelled as “toxic” or “clingy”. and it’s really sad that the lees in this community feel this way. i was jealous to the point that i would self deprecate. i would have to deafen calls, or leave calls, because i wouldn’t be able to handle someone else being tickled that WASN’T me. and it’s sad that i was thinking like that, but it happened.
so these are all the reasons i’ve been thinking about in the tickle community. my nine main reasons i want to leave this community— and so far, i haven’t had a single reason shown to me as in why i shouldn’t leave. now, i don’t want people to start beating themselves up over this, this is not aimed at ANYONE. especially the friends i have made in this community. this is merely just my opinion on how this community has affected my mental health and my social life. again, i’m not COMPLETELY set on leaving, but i haven’t been given a single reason as to why i should stay here.
