kink event, fetishes
i went to another munch on fetlife and had some pretty good conversations with people
this was cool
partway into one conversation, we started mentioning our our kinks. everyone was cool with everything said--but when it got to me and i said "diapers", the rest of the group just...stopped talking
this wasn't so cool
it seems to have worked out in the end though because most of them wanted to friend me on The Internet™ afterwards
but...that initial reaction was jarring
kink event, fetishes
i'm pretty good with people irl, but it's really something when a certain kink is jarring for people at a kink event
i mean, i managed to turn it around pretty quickly, but those first few moments were unmistakable
this is the second time in two days where i seem to have stuck out among all other kinks in a Not Good Way--i wonder if there is a way i can be honest about my weird without that?
part of me hopes diapers become common enough so we at least have some visibility

this is a world where watersports are normal
this is a world where age play is cool
but diapers without either of those things are strange?
there's nothing harmful about them, they are technically sfw, they are passive, and a large portion of the population wears them
it's also a thing most people seem to be fine with after they know about it, but the initial reactions are Just Bad
we aren't bad, we're just weird, we're just human
i wonder how i can help our case here..?

maybe i need to host my own munch?
that way at least the local people who are kinky know about us... that would probably be an Extremely Good first step
basically, i'm pretty well known here, and i don't know of anyone who dislikes me. maybe i can use that to shift perceptions...at least locally..!
i talked to some others and i think there is probably a lot i can do to help our case
