I think it's a matter of hiding them because of so many people fetishizing tits, which ironically is likely due to them being hidden in the first place. It'll probably take a couple generations of uncensoring them before it's not socially pornographic

By the time that happens, feet will have replaced titties

Was there always so many foot fetishists and we're just realizing because of social media comments, or is it a generational thing?

It's probably related to your brain. https://www.livescience.com/33525-foot-fetishes-toe-suck-fai... . Makes sense to me that despite all the "hype" around feet for the last decade, I still find them the ugliest part of the female body.

Why did the open that article talking about someone who assaulted another person? That just seems random and unrelated, like if if an article about sex toys just randomly opened with a paragraph about rape.

It might be true, as a European I was surprised when I learned that you have adult magazines in the US dedicated to woman breasts. It's just not a big deal here.

Forbidden fruit and all :)

That's a stretch.

Europeans fetishize what they can't have as much as anyone else. It doesn't always result in censorship to amplify the coveting.

The outcomes are just as often built on deep patriarchal control and objectification as anywhere else. I just like that across Europe you can get all of your carnal desires fulfilled in a regulated environment, or various levels of regulation, whatever you are feeling at the time.

In Germany there's also the Playboy and other magazines, dedicated to female bodies. Come on, it's not like in Europe we are also full-on contrary of the US.
