Since I first was introduced to the concept of “confusing disgust with morality”, I think that may be a big part of why even supposedly “sex positive” people get so scandalized about even incredibly benign kinks, like foot fetish stuff. While it’s definitely not MY thing, I don’t understand people acting like its “degenerate”, when it’s just like, another part of the body. Why’s it okay to like boobs or butts or legs but feet cross a line?
The answer is that everyone has their own boundaries. Which is okay and fine. But, as you said, people confuse their own boundaries with morality, which muddies the waters.
People end up in hypocrisy when they condemn things instinctively based on personal emotions, rather than asking themselves if the stance is consistent with their own moral framework.
