>>20393769Those people, yourself included, are *exactly* the problem. You're watering down a *fetish*, yes, a bona fide fetish, into mundane, everyday dreck, starting with turning into a garden-variety kink. And for what?
I don't want latex to be "common", I don't need it to be desexualized, and I *definitely* don't need any "pedestrian" clothing options in latex. None of that will ever happen anyway of course, because of what latex *inherently* is: an incredibly uncomfortable, expensive, sensitive, finicky, revealing fabric forever attached to the image of a domina in a corset with a whip, or that of a gimp.
Just like corsets, thigh-high boots, and proper high heels, by the way. Yeah, you see them *occasionally* in public, but they're absolutely sexual and deviant, and the people who wear it do so *because* of that, not despite it. Same thing with latex, your Utopian vision of it somehow being desexualized will have the exact opposite effect of what you expect - why would anyone wear something made of such an objectively terrible fabric if it isn't even kinky? PVC looks just as shiny and is much easier to work with, and wetlook is close enough for most. No one would wear high heels if it wasn't for the sex appeal.
Like, that Project L just posted above: if people don't wank to it, what's the point? Do people fill up hard drives with stuff they just find "kinda neat", or what? Who is the target audience here?
So stop trying to normalize a fetish. The fact that it's taboo is *the entire point*. We don't need terabyte upon terabyte of boring fashion magazine nonsense polluting this subculture just to serve some half-hearted pussies with an "I dunno it looks kinda hot" attitude.
I think I finally get why the /d/tards rage against Western stuff... Fucking normies gtfo, reeeeee.
