some insight on diapers as a fetish. (somewhat thoughtful)

It seems that diapers as a fetish have a bad reputation. That kinda bums me down. I would imagine a large number of folks are frowning upon this journal as it is because of that word, but there's a few points I wanted to bring up. I figured I could get away with fetish blabber on FA, since, well, bizarre fetishes in public display is undeniably not in short supply here. But to me that's not always a bad thing.
First off, I understand why those who frown upon the idea of diapers as a fetish. I don't even have to explain the notoriety of the reputation. It shits for the birds. Just go to a forum or blog wtf/horror/negativeword community and see people ridicule it without a second thought. It's got one of the worst reputations in the fur fandom.
Another reason could be the reputation that infantilists alone built on it. A fetish where one regresses mentally to replicate that of one that is highly young. Diapers being one of the paraphanilia, This is represented by babyfurs, who too, have a bad reputation. Though the focus is on Diapers, not infantilism.
Thirdly, the "synergy" fetishes that come along with it. It seems that once people think "diaper" they think "babyfur" or "Bad child raising memories" or "scat." and in support of that frame of mind, it's often the synergy of the aforementioned.
All of this seems to bog down one of my most enjoyable fetishes. And for me, nothing mentioned above is the way I perceive them. For me.. I'm just in it for the diapers themselves. Like boots, leather, or skirts, to me, they are visually pleasing, especially on a beautiful lass in provocative clothes. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. I can get into a multitude of reasons as to why I like them, but it's something I prefer to save for personal chat, or may save for another entry.
It's a strange fetish in ways, but in contrast, it's a gentle fetish, really. But I guess I see the whole thing in a spectrum few people do, and find it enjoyable because of it.
Feedback is highly appreciated!

I believe every fetish can be respected in the way you're suggesting the philia for Diappers should be, since for one, not everyone can help having a liking to something, and two, if you're open minded enough to actually look into the reasonings behind the liking, and put yourself in the other person's shoes for a while, you can easily see the way they want you too...Though seems alot of the less patient people on the net don't seem to bother with that and decide to just make themself feel big by ridiculing another, or a group in this case.
But yah, I agree with you :3 *Slurp*
It's a bit of a ramble, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is how others, more often than not, lack of selflessness to acquire said understanding, or choose to damage others rather than find happiness in selves. (Or to the wise guys, finding happiness in self by doing damage to others.)
does not cumpute
Well, as for the whole diapers thing, this is mostly in the whole fetish spectrum of things. Figured I'd get away with soapboxing about it here. Though sexual stuff normally a subject I haven't actually gotten into with ya on a personal level, but It's not something I planned on, really. I think it'd just be awkward if I did. :P

8D hahahhahaha.
And yeah I am a very un-sexual person for some reason. :/ I am boring.
Though honestly. Oh no, a piece of clothing! That's surely worse than devouring snuff fantasy. XD
It's okay for people who like them, but not for me. I personally am into masochism and consentual sadism. I am also into role reversals... ie..women wearing stap-ons and doing the guy....hawt >3 People look down on my fetishes too, so I can't say much.
Anyway, at least you stand up for what you like.....whereas I hide and pretend I don't like the awkward things that I do... :/
Aye. I can totally see why people get a rise out of sadomasochism for the most part. It's basically taking pleasure in another's, or own pain. I can't say it's something I'll evertake pleasure in receiving. Also something that hasn't been my thing either, namely due to the apparent abundance of it. Same thing for getting strapped-on.. x). I used to be submissive and walked on, but then I started seeing major consequences of such traits, as I find myself enjoying dominant roles way more. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be very few females who seemingly lack the fetish of physical abuse one way or another.
Though for me, It's not so much standing up for what I like as much as it is just trying to create clarification and understanding. It's nothing I feel ashamed about having though, knowing this is who I am. n.n
I can't speak for anyone else, but yup that's why those things work for me. I can't say that I so much feel pleasure from these things.....they are almost revenge for the past...I don't know I guess I'm just another complicated emo girl....I guess
Oh well...and yes I'm sure you know who that one person was.
I've always been the kind of guy who enjoys that elusive gentle-to-the-touch lass who can sedate my anger or bolster/encourage me with her touch. But you don't draw sexual gradification from those things? Vengeance is a hard thing to let go of, especially when one commits to it. I know I have. Blowing that feeling of vengeance away from your heart for more productive things is also ideal as well.
