listen Greg, its fine to play a barefoot character but you keep mentioning how lickable her toes are and commissioning art of her being tickled and posting it in the discord and its making us very uncomfortable.
>listen Greg, its fine to play a barefoot character but you keep mentioning how lickable her toes are a
As a very illustrative roleplayer, I would like to step in and defend Greg for a second here. The truth is it can get a little boring describing the bare toes of your character for the fourteenth time in the session. So it's natural to want to liven your descriptions up with a few strong adjectives. "Lickable, delectable, tongueable, dainty, paintable, wriggling and pink, wanton and inviting, sweat-damped and fragrant, etc." You get the idea. Remember that when we are roleplaying, we are essentially acting as world-builders. These vivid descriptions are integral to the roleplay experience.
'Lickable' can only be one of two things.
If used as a literal descriptor, it only means they are 'able to be licked', a detail so non-unique as to be useless.
If used to mean 'a person would want to lick them', then that is attributing your opinions to my character. The fact of the matter is that foot fetishes are rare enough that something that appeals to them cannot be given the same kind of weight as the generic 'beautiful' does (and even with that you still need to back up which traits in specific make them beautiful according to concensus).
>"Lickable, delectable, tongueable, dainty, paintable, wriggling and pink, wanton and inviting, sweat-damped and fragrant, etc."
Half of these cannot be used due to this. However, others such as 'wriggling and pink', 'dainty', or 'sweat-damped' are indeed descriptors that can help liven them up.
tl;dr - Greg needs to remember that not everyone shares his fetish and should tailor his descriptions of his character's toes to not imply everyone else wants to stick them in their mouth.
All that said, I want Princess Eilonwy to stand on my face and try to balance herself.
>However, others such as 'wriggling and pink', 'dainty', or 'sweat-damped' are indeed descriptors that can help liven them up.
You're in too deep to see it.
>Princess
She's a fricking maid.
No, she's a cute and funny princess who runs around barefoot
In the book, but in the movie she's neither a princess nor barefoot.
Then the movie is inferior
A good GM would punish you for that behaviour. A great GM would let you play as you see fit and make your character lose their feet.
A GM who doesn't GM would post "A good GM would punish you for that behaviour. A great GM would let you play as you see fit and make your character lose their feet."
>Punish
Nah man. I'd pull Greg aside and say "Greg, knock it off with the foot fetish. This is not a porngame or some sort of weeb echi thing. That was made clear in session 0. If you're going to come into my house to try to make me uncomfortable because you can't keep your sex fetishes to yourself, you can find a new group."
As another anonymous member of this board I would like to tell you to have a nice day and remove the fricking name
Why would I listen to some nobody? Get a name before spewing your worthless opinions at me, and I may pretend to care.
NTA in case it matters
How to describe a character is barefoot without saying they are barefoot?
You can't. Anything described with words, text or spoken, runs a greater risk of any single part getting focused on (as well as missed entirely) since everything mentioned must be of more significance than anything unmentioned.
All you can do is keep it in your head or just post a pic and hope no one gives it any note.
How do you people function when you are so utterly terrified of raising someone's eyebrow? The amount of people on /tg/ so terrified of being labelled "that guy" over some inconsequential display is depressing.
I have no wish to ERP with my friends.
I really don't get the appeal of sharing your personal fetishes with other people. I don't play games to jerk off.
"So my Wood Elf is like 6 feet, wears rags, and is barefoot. She carries a bow and a rough axe, like a tomahawk." There. Is that so fricking hard?
I'd ere with 'unshod' rather than barefoot but that's mostly for the sake of brevity.
That's not "sharing your fetishes" that's just playing a character that appeal to you. Sharing your fetish implies you go into unnecessary detail about them so that other people know.
Confidence and pride are seen as madness and creepyness without awareness to lead them. The issue is rarely if ever the fetish itself but how is conveyed and expressed. And unawareness is the crown of the weirdos, autists and creeps.
The issue with feet compared to other bodyparts or fetish is that feet are usually the most irrelevant thing on any situation. So the moment you start detailing them more than unusual, everone can tell that's your fetish, and now the veil has fallen and the minutes you spend talking about feet keep piling up and up on your creepyness-meter
>How do you function without making everyone uncomfortable by having them to interact with your fetishes?
Kek
The important part isn't to avoid calling your character barefoot, but to not make it the main focus. For example:
>Druidia reveals herself, exiting the cover of trees and entering the clearing, a neutral expression on her face, as unreadable as the forest itself. Her golden hair is tied in a crown of branches, her body clad in a makeshift dress of leaves, and she opts not to wear shoes. Her perfect blue eyes cast each of you a cold glance. She steps swiftly but calmly, avoiding the flowers without looking as if by instinct. She looks each of you in the eyes before speaking. "Why have you entered my forest, which I guard so carefully?" Druidia draws her staff, a long green branch with a warm glow, as if to prepare herself for if she doesn't like your answer.
is perfectly innocuous, but if you say
>Druidia reveals herself, exiting the cover of trees and entering the clearing, the sound of her bare feet stepping growing in volume. Her soft and pillowy soles are stained green from the grass on which she treads daily, and her unpainted toenails have faint traces of dirt underneath. Also she wears leaves and branches and stuff. Anyway, her voluptuous bare feet step deftly on the grass, toes narrowly avoiding harming a single flower. You see her toes faintly but harmlessly brush up against a flower and secretly wish that flower was you. She asks why you're here and her exposed feet grip the grass tensely, like she's ready to strike but hasn't quite decided. She also pulls out her magic stick.
people might start to suspect you have a foot fetish.
>Also she wears leaves and branches and stuff. Anyway, her voluptuous bare feet
kek
Frickin 10/10 for that write up.
We all appreciate the time you took to illustrate that with examples.
>Also she wears leaves and branches and stuff. Anyway, her voluptuous bare feet
Say they're not wearing shoes.
is roleplaying about some paperdoll playdate shit for you? you realize you sound like an autistic pre-teen desgribing its sonic oc?
Describe your character
Sorry too busy playing games.
It's fine. Just post it later.
Ignore the troll
Here you go. 3rd level Elf thief named James. Campaing is homebrewed keep on the borderlands and the system is BFRPG.
We asked for a character description as if it was done at the table, not your excel spreadsheet.
Elf thief. We play a game. Not a paperdoll drama for pre teens.
Yes, and games with characters tend to have visual representation of them, both npcs and for playable ones.
Why are you trying to sound smart for stuff that has been happening since before you were even born? Why do you have disdain for things most if not all systems encourage?
Not needed to have a fun game. Have you tried playing games?
What if we do, though? What's the problem with it?
Haven't seen your special and unique characters posted. Tell me how their hair color and clothes affected the last session.
It did not. that's kinda the point, anon. You describe your character so people can get an idea of what they are like, and then you may use that in future situation for added spiciness. Joke about how bald or short a character is, an NPC compares and laughs at a PC beard. The character that prides or describes themselves as very elegant, with expensive clothing can be the target for different kinds of annoyances than the almost naked barbarian.
>Haven't seen your special and unique characters posted.
Because it's not. We're talking about character descriptions, not how to be special snowflakes. If anything the topic seems to be how to describe characters without standing out too much. Really anon, you do this at session 1, it lasts for 20min tops taking all players into account and then it's mentioned again from time to time when the context is right.
Can't you see how autistic you sound that you're eleveating these 20 mintues of very basic stuff most books advice to do and often can be rushed by just having character art, again, something many books also advice on doing, to the level of detrimental for a game?
>lasts for 20min tops
Why not just get to the fun part? You know, playing the game, adventuring, joking around with friends, having fun. Believe me we once did the whole make up a character thing and it added frick all to the fun so we dont do it anymore.
I knew it was pointless to ask for a character from you guys you don't have a character because you don't play games.
Sure. Didn't work for your table, but it can work for others. It sure as hell works pretty well on other tables, both the ones I run and the ones I play. But ofc, it's something that the GM needs to implement or encourage. A character description can be as useless as the race or class if it's never relevant to the situation at hand.
Is it really that hard to grasp or understand?
>I knew it was pointless to ask for a character from you guys you don't have a character because you don't play games.
Because honestly I suck at character descriptions so I just draw them.
What are her feet like?
If it's not on the pic I don't care for it. Hell she doesn't even have feet, her legs end in stubs.
>Hell she doesn't even have feet, her legs end in stubs.
I politely decline any future offers to play in your game and block you on discord.
>no game mentioned
As I suspected. Cool drawing though. I'll give you that.
Well if you want to.

Damian Laudhric, Half-elf MAgus, PF 1 and 5e.
I also have one CoC character, Hans Deringer, a bulky mechanic with manly jaw and giant arms but a bit clunky for more delicate stuff.
Again, how does this relate to the conversation? why do you keep avoiding the questions asked, anon?

So your question was why I don't waste my time with character descriptions when you yourself admit in your posts that they don't matter?
Why waste time making up pointless quirks when they will come up in game naturally as you play (if you played games)?
For instance my elf thief almost never hits with his shortbow. We joke in the table about it all the time and I still try but I've started throwing burning oil at enemies for more area effect.
The first trap we encountered (an crossbow bolt triggered with a string when opening a door) left the human fighter player super paranoid about traps because it almost killed his character and now he is sure to poke everything with his polearm before doing anything.
Does he have short hair or long hair? Does he dress on the costumes of the elves or does he uses more of a human fashion? If he uses elven fashion he will stand out on the average crowd, if he uses less conspicuos clothes other elves may see him like abandoning his roots.
Because a pointless sword can cut both ways. And in this case, due how little time it takes, it does not get in the way.
And my point was more about the physical apparence, what they look like. What they are like is something that should eventually show up at the table.
I too believe it's stupid to explain something we can feel. But we don't see what you look like, we need a picture or a description.
I actually have an anecdote about the opposite: during a campaign (I was/am the GM), I asked players to describe their characters in private so I knew what to take into account when playing NPCs, but due stuff that happened during the first sessions we rushed a bit and never had a moment to describe the characters, but we had a superficial idea of what they look like. Several months in, this NPC related to a PC background a huntress looking for the dragon who killed her father, mentions the scar covering her face, left by another beast. Everyone goes "wait you got a scar on your face??" and there's this moment of confusion, saying they can't picture her with a scar because it's not what they've envisioned all these months. Another player said that he would've acted different towards her had he known of the scar because his PC was a war veteran human fighter that covered his face with a mask due how mangled it was after war, and looks at scar, specially ones that affect beauty different than your average citizen.
Ofc we moved and and kept playing, but ever aince that moment I always ask 3 to 5 lines of character description at the start of the campaign, because more often than not what we consider a simple detail may be important for someone else, or change how the dynamics shape themselves, on top of whatever happens during the adventure.
I actually draw my characters but sure: ranger with brown messy hair, badly shaven, his eyes are not always focused on something so he may not look at you when he you're chatting with him. Average height, large shoulders. Since he spends a lot of time outdoors he tends to be more tanned/browned than the average local.
For Shadowrun: black haired guy, lanky, weapon expert, extremely tall. He's actually very insecure so he speaks rarely, other character think he's cool, but inside he's just has social anxiety. Our face likes to troll him.
For Vampire: Gangrel, mixed raced, wild look, has dreadlocks, uses a bit of a sketboarding fashion (because we're playing in the 90's) aggressive and not very bright. Heavy hitter despise being a manlet, has a sarcastic attitude because, again, the 90's.
How do even half of those quirks come up on game?
Once in Shadowrun we had to do some infiltration shit, our team leader decided that my character should be the one faking being a new guard, of course, he usual anxiety came up and many laughs were had. Eventually some lucky rolls and he pull it off but he was extremely shaken by the experience and very close to fricking everything up.
>i draw them
You know the rules. Psot 'em
Don't have most of them (I give my character sheet and stuff to my GM) but have this quick sketch of my Gangrel in Chicago 1994
>Tell me how their hair color and clothes affected the last session.
My character is an undead warrior who covers the fact with old, but well-maintained plate armor; he only takes it off to repair and polish it when alone. By wearing plate armor, people do not recognize that he is undead. If it is taken off, however, they will realize instantly. As a result, I must ensure my character gets sufficient privacy to take his armor off and maintain it every session.
His appearance directly affects his character and the way the world reacts to him.
Now that the dust of this shitty thread has settled,
this is a weird response to being asked if you have aphantasia. I see at least one anon in this thread trying to normalize being uncreative by pretending like character descriptions are somehow too difficult to bother including.
>aphantasia
I haven't heard of it before, but it's the best term ever to describe /tg/
What's the point of playing rpgs over board games if you only care about mechanics. Are you one of those guys with aphantasia?
>Have you tried playing games?
Yes, and the rulebook said a character description was fine in order to give everyone a general diea of what and who you are abd it's only for one session.
What games are you playing that ask you to make a character but never say anything beyond the class and race?
>elf thief
>cannot say what color his hair is
>cannot say what attitude he has
>cannot say what clothes does he usually wears
May as well play Gloomhaven for how mechanic and disposable it is.
Well you certainly caught me off guard. But this doesn't seem like the thread for you.

>that handwriting
Yeah, describe your character. I'll wait.
I'm not actually gonna wait because I'm expecting you to just get mad and sling insults/deflections.
the frick are you on, only one of the post you quoted has any description, with the rest being mroe pointers at how to do it right.
Describe your character given you know so much.
With "blink and you'll miss it" descriptors. Like:
>the orc kicks the door in stomps into the tavern
>She leaves behind muddy footprints that are quickly wiped away by the carcass she drags behind her, leaving a mix of silt and blood across the floorboards.
>reaching the bar, she slaps her hand on the counter while barking "Another one for the pot! Gimme the usual..."
>she leaves a mix of coins of silver, tin, and brass on the table, expecting the barked to calculate the actual value for her tab
>she leaves the animal corpse behind as she plops down in a chair facing the fire, planting her feet upon the table with a heavy sigh.
The halfling's delicate feet, unadorned in accordance with her kind, danced lithely upon the lush carpet of grass, her furry toes wiggling with a mischievous playfulness, as if in tune with the whimsical melody of nature. You stare at the underside of her soles, caked in dirt, and you realize that your heart is quickening in your chest. What do you do?
I scream and shoot her in her tiny skull with my ruger super redhawk .454, afeared that the woodsfolk seek to degrade my mind further.
My eyes twitch and bounce in my skull, glancing around frantically as I hyperventilate.
I advance towards her body, and empty the rest of her cylinder into her body, hysterically sobbing as I feel the cool wind on my shaved scalp and my heart thudding in my chest.
Dedicate a whole page length to describing her feet.
Trust me bro no one will think you're weird, just thorough.

Just don't be a creep about it. People can tell what kind of place things come from.
> The priestess of the Love Goddess enters the worship hall from her chamber to greet you and your weary group where you stand with the acolyte. Though not a *young* woman, she is stunningly beautiful, and she carries herself with a dignified and alluring grace. She approaches quietly in bare feet, and her simple, loose robe leaves little to the imagination, and the flush in her cheeks indicates she may have just finished up this morning's private ceremonies. "Brother Tomo let me know that you require respite on your travels and seek healing magics in exchange for donations. How may we assist you?"
With a group of mentally adult people, you can even have world-building details like that. You state it and move on. I play in a group that has had ZERO "dirty stuff" despite a very realistic fantasy world that includes and has even had plot-centric details related to brothels and prostitutes, a demon-summoning sex cultist, and rape. What you *don't* want is
> The High Frickmaiden walks over to your group. She has a long silk shirt that shows off her huge, perky breasts, and her nipples are hard and visible and look totally ready to be sucked and pinched. You can smell her wet pussy from here, probably super tight and hungry for meaty mercenary wiener. But she's not a bawd so it's okay. "Hi adventurers, we have... *healing* available, if you know what I mean. However will you pay for it...???" She winks and sticks out her tongue while her eyes cross and roll back in her head like my favorite e-thot. Hehe yeah.
Just don't be a creep.
Now apply that to bare feet (which absolutely don't even have to be even "appropriately and maturely sexual" to begin with - and SHOULDN'T BE here. Bare feet are common and practical in much of the real world forever. It's only weird if you make it weird, and if you're getting turned on thinking about it, you're making it weird.

Frick off already you creep.
You being a man playing a barefoot woman is why people are making fun of you. If you were a man playing a practically naked barbarian or cantankerous old druid who thinks shoes are for pussies nobody would bat an eye. The default assumption for hobbits and halflings is they don't wear shoes either and that's why they get racial bonuses to being sneaky.
People are correctly identifying your fricking fetish because you are transparently playing as a waifu and they don't want to deal with you jerking off to what happens at the table you fricking homosexual

Really emphasizing the gay part of Noldorgay, huh?
Self inserting as an elf is not exclusive to noldorgay.
Self-inserting is exclusive to gay.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, Ranjeet.
Everything can be a fetish, is not what you're doing, is how you present it. If you keep bringing up the barefoot thing, or you give detail description of it besides "character is barefoot" then yes, is fetish shit and you should stop.
>Everything can be a fetish
I remember some dude on DeviantArt ~10 years ago or so who was making bank by drawing mediocre art of anime women sneezing. Some coomer had commissioned several near identical pictures of Delia Ketchum sneezing.
Remember to think about existence of these people the next time you sneeze in public, you might have just made someone erect.
It's good to know this exist when I start thinking I'm a degenerate

I don't give a frick what some degenerate coomer thinks, as long as he shuts the frick up about it and doesn't touch his peepee in public.
This. Footgays don't get that the fetish isn't the problem, it's them. They have to inject it into fricking everything.
It's annoying being a footgay and seeing so many others acting like mongoloid orangutans every single time without filter. Have some motherfricking class, you don't need to let everyone know your power level at all times.
I don't know if the concept of showing restraint and keeping it to oneself is supposed to be THAT difficult (then again that's more of a general problem for morons, not specific for one fetish), but there's a time and place for everything; most times and most places aren't it, amd while you can definitely "get away" with sneaking it into some creations (imagine applying subtlety, frick me), it isn't hard to notice when something is going to come out really forced and really magical realm-y the instant you think about it.
I can't exactly apologize in every idiot's behalf, but rest assured that it bothers some of us footgays, too. Nobody likes when the clowns become the standard image people have of your fetish.
>It's annoying being a footgay and seeing so many others acting like mongoloid orangutans every single time without filter.
Many such cases.
Those guys are morons, but to be fair, she definitely did that on purpose. The moron response was exactly what she wanted.
These responses aren't genuine, it was a discord raid. Yes, they're that mentally ill. I'm not denying that there are mentally ill footgays as well, though, google Windows-to-the-sole if you're ready to die of cringe.
That settles it; the tradwife meme IS a sex thing.
No, their fetish is a problem, it's just worse when they can't even contain it
I'm a footgay, and barring specific TQs about it, only my wife knows.
I wonder what the ratio is of fetishists who shut up about it to dirty goddamn coomers?
We fricking told you its weird that your human female fighter is in full armor except their feet.
Women's feet are sexually attractive, so when you make explicit mention of them it's clear what's on your mind.
Womens feet are filthy and covered in fungi and bacteria
Many women take great care of their feet because they know how seductive they are to men.

The only reason you want one at all is becsuse you're a footgay.
I feel safe with my armpit fetish, sleevelessness doesn't get any additional side eye.
What the frick does RPH mean? Rapist Horse Warrior?
Yes.
I like to draw barefoot characters because I like how you can twist the feet to get a stronger sense of weight in contrapposto. Feet aren't as expressive as hands but they are great in pushing poses. I can tell if someone looks at too much porn when they make remarks about the feet just because they're there.
While this is true, and pointing at feet is a sign of coomerism (both pro and anti feet), it is also true that feet, most of the time, are irrelevant to the majority of people when it comes to aesthetics.
If you stop and think, there's really only 2 kinds of people who care aout feet: women and footgays.
The former are fine, but the later have the same issue as furries: they're unable to separate the fetish from the thing. You can tell a footgay from a normal person by how they embellish feet, will make you look at the sole (which will be suspisciously detailed) and will decorate it in ways nobody outside women or fetishgays would, the same way you can tell a furry by the way they draw animals even outside porn.
For example, nobody outside of those cares or even knows about stuff like pic related, that piece of clothing that's the fingerless glove version for feet or toe rings.
Personally, I just find it hilarous to point it out because they get really worked up trying to pretend it's not about the feet, when they could simply go "Yeah I like feet" and move on.
>it is also true that feet, most of the time, are irrelevant to the majority of people when it comes to aesthetics.
But they're not. People do not analyze drawings, but they can certainly tell when something looks good, especially on the level of expression. If you have a nice pose, feet or no feet, on a subconscious level it will look better. Just like most people don't really care about the body language in a drawing, until you put extra care in getting things right, because they will feel it better. You're wired to read body language, and feet can do a lot since they're the supporters of a figure's body weight.
I know anon, I'm not arguing against that, or implied that the way footgays portray feet os wrong, unnatural or unrealistic.
What I'm saying is the same as asking a random guy and a professional swordman to strike a pose with a sword. Even someone without knowledge could see, through body language, which one ia the expert, even if he's not actively focusing on details.
Feet are aprt of the body and therefore part of body language, but feet have a function: to hold our weight, to balance us. And while subtle and used, it's function for body language doesn't go much beyond that.
That is, unless you want the focus to be on the feet. Unlike the hands, arms or face, feet rarely participate in the art of communication or expression, beyond the balance of the user. For example, archetypes like monks, dancers or assassins use feet a lot to communicate and convey ideas like confidence in balance or kicks, how sneaky the ninja is, how fluid the feet motions along the dance is, etc. But any other situation where feet are brought to focus is usually a sign of foot fetishism, and also focus on parts that these characters that do uae the feet a lot don't, like the sole, feet accesories.
Vut that's why I made the furry comparison, because most of the time it's also "inofensive" luke Tarantino's feet. We all laugh at furries, but we all grew with them with Disney and many anthro shows.
But, again, it's fun to throw jabs at it because you can tell when aomeone has feet as fetish and most of the time they go full denial with it.
>And while subtle and used, it's function for body language doesn't go much beyond that.
I can agree with that, but getting a feel for weight is one of the most important concepts in figure drawing for a reason.
Don't get me wrong guys. I'm an butthole that points it out and pokes fun because feetgays react in a funny manner, but usuallu one less agressive than usual.
I don't like feet, and thinking rationally, there's nothing wrong with it. Might be gross but so is the body in general. there's much worse out there.
But the language that feet convey is not one that needs detail or focus. Posture is indeed very important for a character, but you don't need to see the feet itself for that. The general shape and position of the covered feet is enough. If we can see or are being dran atention at the feet, it's usually because the authar wanted it that way, which is one of those details that is harmless and arbitrary, but only someone into the thing would point out.
All things considered, if feet stuff helps convey the character in some way, so be it. I had worse at the table.
Just don't describe yourself doing everything with them or asking about some else's feet.
>The general shape and position of the covered feet is enough.
Yeah but feet are prettier? Look at this painting by Bouguereau, who's admittedly a meme in art circles because he made a shitton of barefoot paintings, but imagine if this girl had a pair of ugly crocs. Terrible. The feet sell the whole pose.
I was just kidding, but I really don't have a fetish for feet. I have way worse fetishes. I just think feet and paws are artistically relevant.
Splendid
>a meme in art circles because he made a shitton of barefoot paintings
Maybe in Ganker's "artistic circles". Painting idealised peasant girls (barefoot, because that's how they went) was very fashionable in his time.
>Yeah but feet are prettier?
Yeah that'a been my point all this time. Feet (naked feet) are not relevant to 99% of the cases beyond their position and shape to convey something. There aren't that many reasons to be barefoot most of the time.
On that same page, there's nothing wrong with naked feet. Most people give no frick about it, but because of that, the only ones that will detail, focus or embellish feet are those who wanted to look at the feet.
I'm not saying barefeet is wrong or bad, I'm saying that the majority of work with naked feet on display, like the paintings of Bouguereau, are so because the author had a foot fetish and wanted to see them, because it's the kind of thing thay "by default" is covered or protected most of the time.
Cmon man, so every classical Greco-Roman sculptor and every academic painter until the XX century was a footgay? Feet are nice. They're not like genitals, they're almost as nice as hands.
Hands are more versatile, but feet are cuter.
Nice female hands are incredibly sexy
I didn't say sexy, I said cute. Feet provoke cute aggression.
All right, I admit it. I like feet. They can be really pretty. But I'm not a fetishist. For once, I don't like Tarantino's movies.
>Someone, someone might think I have a f-f-foot fetish!
Grow up.
What are those foot accessories called?
Barefoot sandals. The straps make you look like you're wearing sandals from a distance, while in reality you're barefoot. Actress Sharon Tate loved being barefoot at all times, but she hated drawing unnecessary attention, so she came up with those.
It's not just a matter of the feet being there, but how they're drawn.
Don't get me wrong, foot fetishists will notice well-drawn bare feet no matter what, but normal people aren't going to think about it until you draw the feet really crinkly and detailed and right up in the camera.
Not really, I got many "haha feet amirite" comments for poses that were not foot-centric at all, just feet in any pose except planted on the ground.
Probably from foot fetishists projecting.
It's pretty common, I've noticed, for fetishists to disguise it as a joke.
Most people are aware that foot fetishes exist, yeah, but I don't think an innocuous barefoot picture would tip a normal person off.
Feet do nothing for me (unfortunate, as I live in Florida) and the meme has been so forced lately I would still think that was where they were going with it. It might be the most successful psyop by a community to get their fetish normalized.
>washing is unnatural.
KEK anon told on himself.
Are barefoot girls really that common in Florida?
With flip-flops they might as well be.
>Are barefoot girls really that common in Florida?
It’s warm, innit? Bare feet, sandal feet, flip flop feet, bare toes as far as the eye can see.
Not from Florida, but damn I love working in an university in summers, so much exposed college girl feet everywhere.
What kind of diploma mill to you study at that girls go barefoot there?
Just go to libraries. Being introverted, I never go to libraries, but one day I needed to waste some time and figured I might as well do it there. So I went in and what do you know, Miss University is studying there completely barefoot. I sat right next to her and did pretty much zero studying on that day, but it was worth it.
>Being introverted, I never go to libraries
Oh, the irony. Libraries are literally places for working quietly and browsing books.
I've heard of people who deliberately developed a foot fetish by watching foot-oriented videos and onlyfans.
I used to harass women by pretending to have a foot fetish and demanding they show me theirs and then it accidentally stuck.
Get feeted on dummy
Footshit is very aggressively pushed by the girls. It's not a lewd body part that they can display shamelessly anywhere, so getting the men hooked on them is a huge win.
Same as "thicc".
>I could get in shape, or I could brainwash guys to think I'm in shape
>hmm...
Yeah, this is actually worse by far because with feet, well, everybody has them anyway.
thicc is 100% the product of israeli propaganda pushing Blacks as the new beauty standards
go pull your ribs out before i do it for you corpse gut
Thick is fine, because someone thick is someone who has meat but is still inside the healthy values of BMI. If your weight is in the "health issues" zone, you're way apst thick rates.
As my grandpa puts it: "Good meat plumps, bad meat hangs". If your ass, tighs or belly have so much meat it's dropping and creating a "pocket", you either got too much meat or you're in poor shape and the muscles cannot keep it in place.
Abd don't give me the crapoy excuse of "it's natural that they fall!", we're not talking about your breasts and you're in your 20/30s. Get in shape you fattie.
>"Good meat plumps, bad meat hangs".
Your grandfather is a man of discernment and culture, but "THICC" almost never means "curvy" and "curvy" doesn't mean "curvy" anymore either.
You don't have the language or talent to bring that reality to life like the novelist can.
The dancer approached out party gracefully, and confidently. Her two piece dress was laden with design of autums leaves and caressed her lithe figure, she felt no discomfort in her steps despite only wearing toeless stirrups that wrapped her legs.
PC is a tomboy riverman/forestman who wears ordinary clothing and is barefoot. She has a quarter staff. Will only wear sandals when entering dank caves and dungeons
>it's "inserting fetishes"
The only ones who care about that are morons and cowards. Stop being a coward and stop playing with morons.
>"inserting fetishes"
Thanks god I've never heard this phrase in real life, but if I ever do, I will slap this moron across the face.
This is not just a tough talk in case you're wondering, I got into a fight some days ago because a person I barely knew made an inappropriate joke. I'm a very angry guy.
>itt another episode of nogames anon insists others don't play games because surely nobody would care about roleplaying in a roleplaying game, we're only here to play games, right guys, haha
It's mildly annoying.
Elves and druids should be barefoot by default for obvious reasons.
Frick you, elves should have thigh-high boots.
This elf goes barefoot in canon.
Only after she becomes the Crown Regent. I will compromise and say that elf royalty should be barefoot.
what about thighhighs that end like
you know, that v-shaped kinda sock
Those are called bridal legwear on danbooru, but I can't find anything like it on real life. The closest I can find are stirrup socks.
Stirrups and foot wraps are also welcome additions.
this post is from a feet fetish veteran. rest of you noobs could learn something
Based. Foot wraps on paws are the sexiest shit.
>subtle but powerful bait
>double dubs
Good post
the bait was so powerful that everyone ignored it.
I wrote that. It wasn't bait...
ye
Whatever floats your boat.
For me, it's soleless thigh high boots.
What the frick is going on with her right leg?
What obvious reasons?
>elfs
elf girls are cute, elf girl feet are cute
>droods
druid girls are cute, druid girl feet are cute
Hippies. Elves and druids are fricking hippies, and hippies are known for walking around barefoot.
Fantasy novels always have straight up fetishes as well.
Describe this character without being fetishistic on her feet
Chink cultivator
Would nakadashi
Her voluptuous feet are completely bare and naked for all to see. With soles soft as pillows and cute toes with bright nail polish, those are the sexiest bare feet you have ever seen. She evidently uses magic to keep them in pristine condition, as there are no calluses and nary a speckle of dirt on these luscious bare feet, even though she appears to go barefoot 24/7. You can only imagine how heavenly these feet would feel on your face, their smell of perfect femininity overwhelming you and driving you crazy. Also she has some silken robes on or something.
No one commented her on her feet for the whole show
Visual media.
I'd like to think barefooters would care a lot about hygiene. I imagine your typical parefoot druid washes her feet multiple times a day.
I think most barefooters would, but druids are all about nature and stuff, and washing is unnatural.
>washing is unnatural
wild animals bathe all the time
Washing them is a total waste of time if they're going to get dirty again in a few minutes anyway. If you don't like dirt, your only option is magic that repels it.
you know that people who walk barefeet have ugly monkeyfeet, right?
t. Ganker medical school
Anon you're aware that excites them, right?
That's like telling someone into hairy armpits "Do you know that makes them sweat more????"
Yes? That's kind of the point and part of the kink? Where you expecting to "gotcha" someone?
Amazing, you're even more moronic than the one you're replying to.
What a sideshow of a thread.
The joke is on you. Disney execs forced the animators to draw shoes on her.
Because female feet are lewd.
Freaking love barefoot characters
And I love brown elves.
That's why brown elves should always be barefoot.
Elves should always be barefoot. Full stop.
While male elves usually wear shoes, female elves typically go barefoot.
So should you.
I don't think anyone wants to see my hairy manfeet.
That's just a tanned White person with pointy ears
The best kind of brown.
Not really. It's a good-looking black person.
They're pretty great.
The best kind of elf.
Flare is the best elf, yes.
FEET
What the frick is this even about? Give a single instance of any rules set banning bare feet?
I gave a barefoot PC a barefoot NPC to bond with
elaborate
Probably his step-sister
Damn it.
I refuse to pretend it isn't inserting my fetish tbh
>party meets in a tavern
>DM tells us that the barmaid walks up to our table
>this raises an eyebrow, but I don't want to make a scene until I confirm my suspicions
>ask the DM how she walks
>DM looks confused at my question "Invitingly, I guess?"
>clarify that I'm asking how she physically walks
>DM confirms my worst fears and tells me that she walks with her feet
>I nearly throw up at how blatantly the DM is inserting his foot fetish into the campaign
>everyone else at the table groans in annoyance, clearly also upset at our pervert of a DM
>DM tells me that everyone in the setting walks with their feet, including my character
>I'm even more disgusted, not only has be built an entire world around his fetish, but he's even forcing his fetish to be part of my character
>I pull out my character sheet and point out that my character has no feet and instead uses a combat wheelchair because I'm not a sicko
>the other players chime in and say that their characters have feet
>aghast, realize I'm surrounded by perverts
>roll out of the room
Any else have a That Guy story relating to foot fetishes?
Someone post that story where a fat poltard stole a girl's shoes.
>roll out of the room
>oh no, your barefoot character stepped on not one but two mimics disguised as dungeon floor tiles!
oh no haha what a terrible turn of events haha
this must be a fricking nightmare to walk in
Seeing how these things are going to eat your feet, yeah, sure.
It’s worse - I think they’re going to tickle them
I thought women liked that?
Depends on the woman
Not like it matters as i doubt they will let her take them off.
not falling for that one again
Hard to believe this wasn't made by Tarantino.
I think it's the other way around, Margot requested it and he toned it down. She is the producer and the sponsor of Barbie, the entire movie is her project, and it's already got more feet close ups in its trailers than OUATIH had in its entire runtime.
>Margot requested it and he toned it down
You... haven't seen many Tarantino movies, have you?
He's typically reserved about it, and in his most recent movies it sometimes doesn't exist at all. I'm so tired of people spouting reddit memes.
Not in kill bill part 1, which is the one everyone remembers.
Oh no, I've been transformed into a mimic!!!
There's nothing wrong with being barefoot given the culture allows, we shouldn't project modern sensibilities in different context the human foot can be pretty resilient.
Foot gays are the worst. PEOPLE WORE SHOES.
Describe the feet in exorbitant detail, but also describe everything else in exorbitant detail so the feet don't stand out.
Play as a Monk or something with tremor sense or a non human. Nobody is going to question why a bugman or lizard isn't wearing shoes.
/thread.
What about bugwoman?
Several classes can inherently justify being barefoot. Monks, Druids, Clerics, Wizards, Sorcerers, Rangers, Bards, Rogues... almost anything that isn't a heavy armor fighter is fair game.
Oh, you!
>Wizards
>Rangers
>Bards
Why?
The wizard is a weirdo who has forsworn footware for magical potential.
The ranger prefers bare feet, sats it lets them really feel the path.
Bard is just naked, as bards do. There are no shoes, simply because there are no clothes.
>Bard is just naked, as bards do.
>Wizards
Magical Barefooter trope, too loony for shoes, magical bullshit allows forgoing shoes, sits around on tower all day anyway
>Rangers
Is outdoors type, allows agile stalking through the lands, unimpeded by unshod state, hippie enough to go barefoot but not hippie enough to be a Druid
>Bards
Performance, dancing, carefree spirit, hippie enough to go barefoot but not hippie enough to be a Ranger, seduction
>no barbarian
Seriously?!
Fair, it's probably the most justifiable martial. Don't know why it went completely over my head.
Women have always worn footwear less than men, as evident from contemporary art.
>ywn visit the countryside and see pretty peasant women walking barefoot in the grass
this is what they took from us
>peasant women
>pretty
perhaps not all of them, but milk maids in particular were universally considered epitome of beauty
>not fat
>tanned but not worn out by the sun yet
>pleasantly fit due to constant work
>you marry about 15 years earlier than today
a better deal in every way
>no makeup
>exposed to the elements
>terrible diets
>no modern medicine
>I can't stress enough how important makeup is
>He thinks that makeup is modern
Lmao.
Also why would a peasant diet be terrible?
Peasant diet is 90% carbs. And what makeup would they use, charcoal? More importantly, why if they're working all day?
>Peasant diet is 90% carbs
So no different from the average modern diet except its way less processed.
There is nothing wrong with eating carbs if you have an active lifestyle.
Charcoal + oil makes eyeliner, so yeah maybe. Although it's unlikely the average peasant woman wore any due to religious and practical concerns
If I recall correctly use of makeup among ordinary folk in Medieval times pretty much collapsed compared to late Roman empire and was revitalized in early modern period, but like a lot of other "dark ages" assumptions it might also be due to lack of Medieval sources.
Byzantines were caked in makeup throughout most of the middle ages
Because, y'know, the Dung Ages, everything before modern times was universally terrible, everyone was ugly and full of diseases and stupid, etc etc, et al.
But seriously, peasants probably had a healthier diet than we have nowadays, considering the amount of artificial crap we put on absolutely everything that's good to eat and probably everything that isn't, too. And yeah, makeup is at least as old as the ancient Egyptians.
It's really amazing when Americans talk about diet when like 70% of their population is morbidly obese and can't eat anything but literal trash
>american obsessed schizo strikes again
It's only Americans who spew this stupid shit every time.
>everyone was ugly
Everyone was very ugly. You don't even need to go too far back, in the early photographs even the supposedly beautiful girls who reportedly turned heads look very plain at the very best.
Most peasants certainly had healthier lifestyles than the modern poor, see “Capitalism and Extreme Poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century“ by Sullivan and Hickel, 2022
> And yeah, makeup is at least as old as the ancient Egyptians.
Late paleolithic/upper neolithic ochre usage might count as makeup
>why would a peasant diet be terrible?
Lack of essential nutrients.
Peasant diet is still terrible in many parts of the world. It was terrible even in Europe and China less than 200 years ago - people were suffering from deficiency diseases even in Germany and France and not just during the lean years. When you are limited in what you have access to, the primary concern becomes eating anything at all, not eating a balanced diet.
>makeup
I'd take a natural looking peasant girl over a caked up prostitute any day. I've always preferred my girlfriends without any makeup.
Peasants ate better than we did on average both in terms of nutrition and absence of pollutants.

No they did not.
What's next, are you going to tell us about the miraculously healthy hunter-gatherers with a lot of free time? Or about the fabled village of centenarians?
Absent good genetics, moderate wealth or above and smarter than average parents she's going to be disfigured, have cracked feet, be hairy, smell bad, miss some teeth and likely be darker than a Berber.
Maybe we just don't want to get hookworm, you gross weirdos.
Your American shows.
Those feet are great, but the breasts and ass are better
>He/she was raised in a forest by wolves, hence no shoes
Then no need to discuss it further, but you are probably a pervert who only does it for his fetish
Post barefoot OCs or Stories
Yes, because it's YOUR fetish. Sort of like how Samurai Jack can do biodungeons well but I wouldn't trust a voregay with one.
I'm the same way, but with nudism.
>princess of mars
>main heroine is naked
