There seems to be a lot of talk on here lately about how the burp fetish scene is declining compared to the golden age of 09-15. I remember those days fondly, though I was much younger then. It seemed there was a virtually endless amount of homemade content. TikTok brought that back somewhat, but I guess that’s ending. So how do we bring about a new golden age?
I have a few ideas. These are just things I’ve been thinking about lately, more so as a ponderance.
1: Become Less Insular. Hardly anyone not in this community even knows about the burp fetish. Something I’ve realized about the fart community is that it grows and grows, because there’s an easy “lead-in”. Like ass? You might like farts, too. I wonder if we could find a sort of lead in that would bring new attention to the kink.
2: Less Guilt Complex. It seems like, in comparison to other kink communities, we spend a LOT of time moralizing. Not about the things that matter, but worrying about “creeps”, and desperately trying to separate ourselves from them. I understand this, and I used to agree, but… people are gonna comment what they comment online. The fart/sneeze/twerk/pajama pants communities don’t worry about this so much. We’re only responsible for what WE do, not what others may choose to do. If we’re going to avoid everything because someone might do something wrong of their own accord, the forum couldn’t even really exist outside of fictional stories.
As someone who actually has it, and is now medicated, it feels VERY reminiscent to scrupulosity OCD and I really do think there might be a connection there. Just a thought.
3: More Homegrown Content. We have some really talented people here. I’m a pretty big farter, and I’ve recently started burping as well, and I sometimes send them. I’m debating posting some publically, because it’s pretty fun! I think we could bring back the old “amateur” feel if we were more open about ourselves.
4: Community Feel. This is a BIG one, and the most important by far. I’ve made a few friends here, and they genuinely FEEL like friends. Something I think this place could use a bit more of is a sense of true community, rather than just coming to consume content.
Looking at some other fetish forums, they have threads about things not even related to the fetish at all in their own section, so people can get to know each other. People help each other out finding clips and making edits, etc.
This is mostly rambling, and is somewhat meta, so I understand if this doesn’t sound too interesting, but like I said, it’s something I’ve been thinking about lately, especially with TikTok on the chopping block.
Oh, and as a bonus, getting the one or two notorious forum trolls to knock it off
