12	->''"It is wild, because there are beheadings, people getting their cocks cut off, graphic violence and brothel scenes, but getting my feet out and him wanking off, that's the most shocking."''
13	-->-- '''Creator/OliviaCooke''' on the infamous "foot scene" from ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon''
14
15	Fetishes are a big taboo in our society, so it's only natural that this appears in our media in some way. When the taboo aspects of a fetish are highlighted in a work of art, you have this trope. It is usually done to show that the character with the fetish is weird and creepy, and the surreal aspects of the fetish is a primary focus of the scenes it appears in. Often, the character is a villain.
16
17	This is essentially a SisterTrope of BondageIsBad, in which a character's interest in BDSM is used to highlight their capacity for violence. The key difference here (aside from the specificity of the former) is that there are no implications of danger in these fetish scenarios, while there ''is'' implied danger in BDSM scenarios. For example, there isn't much that can "go wrong" in a foot fetish scenario. While BondageIsBad accentuates the frightening aspects of BDSM, this trope accentuates and highlights the ''strangeness'' of fetishism. The character with the fetish is depicted as simply being creepy, gross, or pathetic, but doesn't necessarily have to be evil. This is also common for CorruptingPornography, where any form of fetish porn will be the ''most'' corrupting.
18
19	You'll notice that the majority of the examples below involve feet in some manner. This is because (while also being the most common fetish) foot fetishes are easy to depict onscreen without being explicit, while still being recognizable as a sexual interest, making foot fetishism the go-to for establishing that someone has a weird kink. Ironically, anyone with an academic or [[TheOldestProfession professional]] interest in human sexuality will tell you that feet are the ''tamest'' fetish one can have.
20
21	This trope is often PlayedForLaughs, usually CringeComedy, but can also be PlayedForDrama or NightmareFuel. Compare and contrast with CasualKink, BrainsAndBondage, {{Fetish}}, and IKissYourFoot. Also compare PowerDynamicsKink and RobosexualsAreCreeps (which can also be considered a subtrope of this). See also SexualKarma, which can overlap (weird characters are rewarded by the story with weird, therefore kinky, sex). This trope is also distinctive from AuthorAppeal, where a creator's fetish purposely appears in their work, as this trope specifically centers on the demonization and mystification of fetishes. The fetishes do not have to exist in RealLife, but it has to be clear that the sexual interest is a fetish. At the same time, this trope also does not include ''every'' fetish, as some already have a trope of this nature. Bestiality, for example, is BestialityIsDepraved. The same goes for PaedoHunt. [[labelnote: Although...]] Along those lines, any paraphilia that is currently ''illegal'' or objectively harmful (as in, any sexual interest that '''cannot''' be acted upon safely and consensually) should '''not be added'''. A character who just gets off on [[{{Sadist}} torture]] or [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] is not an example, and if they are depicted as being into consensual rape roleplay or sadomasochism, that is either CasualKink or BondageIsBad depending on how it's depicted. The same goes for fetishes that have become normalized by society, [[BuxomBeautyStandard like breasts]]. Yes, that is technically a fetish, but isn't considered such by most people today due to its near-universality in male heterosexuality. Unless the narrative depicts the fetish in one of the ways described above, it does not count.[[/labelnote]]

27
28	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
29	* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'':
30	** Hahari Hanazono has a love for cute things that overrides her common sense. Her businesses have a standing rule of hiring anyone who's cute, no questions asked, and she happily signs off on any sufficiently cute {{Custom Uniform}}s. Within the Rentarou Family, this presents itself as constantly taking snapshots of the other girls and trying to act uncomfortably motherly towards the students in the cast with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, particularly Kurumi and Kishika, and she's frequently shown drooling anytime she's indulging. When Rentarou sends her glamour shots of himself, he does so while dressed as a kindergartner. Indeed, Hahari is generally considered even more depraved than her own daughter, the habitually horny Hakari.
31	** Kishika Torotoro is a serious, knightly KendoTeamCaptain who takes great pride in being a reliable senpai and caregiver to her younger siblings. To her great shame, this has left her with an extreme desire to be pampered like a child herself to the point of having props to simulate being given an AffectionateGestureToTheHead, self-made pre-recorded 'Mommy' and 'Daddy' voice lines, and entering full EmotionalRegression when she indulges completely. When Rentarou catches her in the act, he's willing to accept her desires, though he does draw the line at being Kishika's "Daddy" as opposed to "Boyfriend". The rest of the Rentarou Family accepts Kishika as well, with only mild disappointment that she isn't isn't ''quite'' as cool as she'd presented herself as prior to Hahari getting her hands on Kishika and triggering her baby side in front of everyone.
32	** Rin Baio:
33	*** Rin is a NightmareFetishist who has an overpowering love for violence. She is also self-aware enough to realize this wouldn't be acceptable in normal society so she keeps a lid on it until she lets it slip in front of Rentarou, the first boy she's ever liked. Fortunately for her Rentarou makes it clear that he still loves her and there's nothing wrong liking what she likes, so long as she isn't ''actually'' harming anybody. The Rentarou Family accept Rin with open arms, as it is already populated by girls with crazier quirks and kinks than Rin's, and Rin becomes fast friends with masochist Iku.
34	*** A side chapter shows that Rin's father recognized Rin's love for violence at an early age, prompting him and his wife to raise Rin with as little exposure to violence as possible to try and stamp it out. His monologue notes this is not out of any shame or disgust towards Rin's likes but because he knows how others might respond and, until or unless she meets people who would accept her as she is without reservation, Rin would likely experience much heartache.
35	* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', Farnese has pyrophillia, as in, she is aroused by fire and people burning. She is also a sadist to an extent, but mainly when it comes to fire specifically. She has a lot of self-loathing and shame about this, and [[HeelFaceTurn after befriending Guts]], makes strides to channel her desires into something positive.
36	* In ''Manga/GiantOjouSama'', Midori has a fetish for power that's pushed into overdrive when she finds out about Oriko's special growth drink. From that point on, she clearly gets aroused by daydreaming about stealing the drink for herself and going on a destructive rampage, but is simultaneously too ashamed of anybody seeing her get turned on by her power kink in real life to actually go through with it without passing out from embarrassment first.
37	* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'', Yoshikage Kira, a depraved SerialKiller who acts as the BigBad of the story, has a fetish for women's hands. He claims to first have developed this fixation after seeing the Mona Lisa in a book during his childhood, and this later evolved into an obsession, motivating him to murder several women, then [[ALoveToDismember keep their hands]], treating them like "girlfriends" until they start to decay, at which point he disposes of the appendage and seeks out a new victim.

39
40	[[folder:Comic Books]]
41	* Very, very common in the works of Creator/GarthEnnis to show that a character is evil or just wrong:
42	** ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'': One TrophyWife says that her husband doesn't even have sex with her; he just tells her to bend over naked on the bed and then jerks off while looking inside her.
43	** ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'':
44	*** Odin Quincannon regularly has sex with what is revealed to be [[spoiler:a pile of meats shaped like a GiantWoman]]. When Jesse shoots him in the head mid-thrust, he says that if this isn't a MercyKill nothing is.
45	*** Herr Starr has a thing for humiliating women, even asking how much it'd cost to piss in one's mouth (hinted to be UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher). When his series-spanning HumiliationConga leaves him more and more mutilated (culminating in the loss of his genitals), he starts having it done to him.
46	*** Jesus de Sade's mansion is filled with weird-ass fetishists, including a man in the stocks yelling at sheep to do something unspecified to him, a woman begging Cassidy to bite and hurt her, and [[spoiler:child pornography]]. The man himself has had sex with every large four-legged mammal the local zoo had to offer and his introductory scene ends with a manservant presenting him with an armadillo.
47	** ''ComicBook/TheBoys'': Many, ''many'' superheroes are shown to have bizarre fetishes. Several members of Teenage Kix have anal fixations involving things like guns and live hamsters. Jack from Jupiter has a transgender fetish (despite being blatantly transphobic otherwise). The members of G-Whiz all partake in group masturbation. However, it's generally presented as a tragic result of the restrictions and freedoms forced upon them by Vought--and in the case of G-Whiz, because many of them were sexually abused by John Godolkin as children.
48	* ''ComicBook/TheSculptor'': After [[ABirthdayNotABreak his depressing birthday]], David Smith seemingly encounters a mysterious crowd and an angel who tells him everything will be alright. Unfortunately, at a party that night he discovers the miracle was actually a viral stunt, and his awe of the experience is shattered as the FX supervisor takes him aside and asks him anxiously if David thought the angel's actor wearing [[ZettaiRyouiki thigh-high socks]] was too fetishy.
49	[[/folder]]
50
51	[[folder:Films]]
52	* ''Film/AtMidnight2023'': PlayedForLaughs. When Sophie first meets Alejandro and thinks he's a stalking pervert, he assumes he wants to take pictures of her feet and sell them on the internet. Alejandro is very baffled by the odd accusation, but as a famous actress, she sees it as a serious concern.
53	* Frank in ''Film/BlueVelvet'' is a sadistic mob boss with a mommy roleplay fetish, and the title of the film is a reference to his fetish for blue velvet (both the fabric ''and'' the song). He's also one of the most terrifying villains in film history, [[AxCrazy but this has more to do with his acts of physical and sexual violence than his fetishes]]. The fetishes just add ''more'' creepiness to his character.
54	* In ''Film/DeathProof'', the main antagonist of the film, Stuntman Mike, is a slimy SerialKiller who murders young women with his car. He also has a foot fetish, [[DudeShesLikeInAComa as seen when he creepily touches a woman's feet while she's asleep in her car.]] It's ''very'' unsettling, and the woman is clearly creeped out when she wakes up and realizes someone just touched her. [[spoiler: [[KarmicDeath The film ends with that same woman stomping Mike's face in.]] ]]
55	* ''Film/EnoughSaid'': A BaitAndSwitch [[AvertedTrope Aversion]] example. On their second date, Albert is revealed to have a foot fetish when Eva catches him looking at her feet a little too long. He even has a FreudianExcuse that could've been easily [[IncestSubtext misinterpreted by her]], but Eva has no issue with Albert's fetish, and only playfully teases him about it. It is never brought up again, except for a later scene where Eva gets a pedicure for the first time. It's not stated outright, [[CasualKink but it's pretty clear why.]] It's also the only quirk Albert has that Marianne never brings up.
56	* In the spoof film ''Film/EpicMovie'', Mystique seduces Peter into having passionate sex with her after finding out that he was going to become the king of Gnarnia, even offering to shapeshift her body any way he wanted. While this starts off with normal requests she's into, like [[BreastExpansion bigger breasts and a larger ass]], it soon takes a weird turn as Peter requests she shapeshift [[FanDisservice a monobrow, before demanding she transform into a fat obese grandma with extremely flabby arms.]] These are clearly Peter's fetishes and Mystique is absolutely repulsed by them, groaning before giving him a genuinely disgusted look. While she ends up going through with the fetish transformations, the whole scene is supposed to highlight how weird and disgusting Peter's fetishes are, especially considering how sexy she was beforehand, and how nasty they try to make her post transformation with the crossed eyes, warts, long nose hairs, and her tongue wiggling.
57	* In ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'', the SerialKiller and rapist Richie has a foot fetish, and it's exploited for all its creepiness. Interestingly, since Richie is played by ''Creator/QuentinTarantino'' (who is famous for his foot fetish, and also co-wrote this film), this is a rare example of this trope being written and portrayed by a creator who actually has the fetish.
58	* In ''Film/PulpFiction'', Seth's wife is obsessed with piercings to a near-religious degree, implying she has a fetish for them, and Vincent is clearly confused by it and finds her weird.
59	* {{Implied}} with the main antagonist of ''Film/TheShapeOfWater'', but also PlayedWith. Strickland's creepy and explicitly sexist fetish for quiet women is implied to be a result of his [[HeManWomanHater lifelong misogyny]], not the other way around, which is ''why'' the protagonist is so creeped out by it.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder:Franchises]]
63	* In ''Franchise/StarWars'', Jabba the Hutt is the brutal kingpin of a vast criminal empire, and [[BeautyEqualsGoodness a gross slug-alien]] to boot. He's also a big fan of GoGoEnslavement, keeping at least one scantily clad ''humanoid'' woman in his retinue at all times. His debut in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' just plays this as an homage to the MarsNeedsWomen trope (and an excuse for {{Fanservice}}). But the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' expanded universe considered the implications: the rest of the Hutts don't share Jabba's eye for other species, and regard Jabba as a weird pervert for his apparent xenophilia. This is especially notable when you consider that interspecies relationships aren't uncommon in the Star Wars universe, so either the Hutts have ''serious'' hang-ups about this, or Jabba takes it to the point where there's no romance involved and it's just a sick obsession with the humanoid female body.
64	** Adding to this, Hutts are self-fertilizing {{hermaphrodite}}s, meaning that most don't ''have'' sexual desires in the traditional sense. So in other words, sex ''as a whole'' can be considered a form of fetishism for Hutts. For good measure, some ''Legends'' texts, such as ''Literature/TalesFromJabbasPalace'', indicate that he might literally be engaging in some form of sexual activity with his slave girls: Porcellus notes Jabba's "indescribable sexual practices" and later observes the scene in which Oola is dragged over to Jabba's dais mid-dance, implicitly describing it as an attempted rape.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Literature]]
68	* Creator/DaveBarry mentions that at one point while trying to sell their house, his wife was called by a pervert, and she was in such a state of stress that she didn't notice the guy was talking about her shoes until he asked "Do they ''smell bad?''".
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
72	* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum'': Both generations of [[SerialKiller Bloody Face]] have a breastfeeding fetish. One of them attempts it with one of his victims, the other hires a prostitute for that purpose. It's used to show both of them as {{Psychopathic Manchild}}ren with mommy issues.
73	* In ''Series/TheBoys2019'', the only characters depicted as having fetishes are all villains. As for the sympathetic characters, like Hughie and Starlight, they all have completely vanilla sex lives without any kind of kink involved.
74	** Homelander is an emotionally stunted {{sociopath}} and {{narcissist}} who has fetishes for mom-play and breast milk.
75	*** Season 2 reveals that he and fellow VillainWithGoodPublicity Stormfront are sexual sadists whose idea of foreplay -- beating the shit out of each other and torturing onlookers to death -- falls well below the standards of SafeSaneAndConsensual, to say the least.
76	** A-Train is a self-centered narcissist who likes having his feet worshipped.
77	** A-Train's girlfriend Popclaw is not only okay with doing the aforementioned feet-stuff, but when her landlord makes her have sex with him in lieu of rent, she has him enact an elaborate roleplay scenario before having him go down on her… [[ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex whereupon she accidentally crushes his skull under her ass]].
78	** Soldier Boy also has a thing for grannies, which is just used to show how depraved his hedonism is. Made a bit more complicated because [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld he is actually a centenarian]] who doesn't age physically.
79	* In the ''Series/BroadCity'' episode "What A Wonderful World", Abbi and Ilana try to raise money for concert tickets by fulfilling a Craigslist request to clean a man's apartment in their underwear while he leers at them. The overall creepy vibe of the man in question is compounded by the reveal that he's a diaper fetishist who insists on only speaking in BabyTalk with them and doesn't actually have the money to pay them, then he seemingly [[TooKinkyToTorture gets off to them destroying his apartment in rage]].
80	* In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode [[Recap/CommunityS3E09FoosballAndNocturnalVigilantism "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism"]], Troy, Abed, and Annie's unkempt manchild of a landlord is revealed to have a foot fetish in just about the creepiest way possible: the trio uncover a closet full of shoes stolen from the building's female residents. Everyone is extremely squicked out by this revelation, and Annie remarks to Officer Cackowski that she doesn't feel safe living in the same building as the guy.
81	* The docu-series ''Dark Temptations'' frequently demonizes fetishes. One segment about crush fetishism (which can be [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals legitimately evil]]) claims that foot fetishism is solely focused on feet ''as an object'', and that it is due to [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian men not gaining enough face-to-face attention from their mothers in early childhood]]. Not only is this theory baseless (no one knows exactly why fetishes happen, and there are women and gay men with foot fetishes as well), but the idea that foot fetishism is inherently objectifying is also not true, neither is the idea that foot fetishists are ''only'' [[SingleTargetSexuality attracted to feet]].
82	* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'':
83	** {{Subverted\|Trope}} and PlayedForLaughs with Vince Masuka. He has ''several'' fetishes and is depicted as a total weirdo that everyone finds perverted (which isn't undeserved), but he's also one of the ''heroic'' characters in the series. Masuka is just a LovableSexManiac.
84	** Played straight with [[spoiler:Brian Moser, the Ice Truck Killer]]. He's a sociopathic SerialKiller who has an amputee fetish, and it's later revealed that this is because he [[spoiler: witnessed his mother getting murdered with a chainsaw]], and it's implied that his fetish has a large role to play in his ''modus operandi''. Slightly {{downplayed\|Trope}}, as Vince warns Batista to not call an amputee fetishist by the medical term (acrotomophilia) because it sounds like a disease, implying that he knows people with the fetish who are just ordinary people and want to be treated respectfully.
85	* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' probably has the closest thing to a TropeCodifier. Larys "[[PunnyName the Clubfoot]]" Strong, the most ObviouslyEvil character in the show, is revealed to have a foot fetish, and Queen Alicent pays him for his services by letting him masturbate to her feet. The point of this scene is to show how, even though Alicent is the most powerful woman in Westeros, she is still forced to use her body as a bargaining chip in a sexist society, [[QuestionableConsent and she takes no enjoyment out of this arrangement]]. But Larys' foot fetish serves to highlight how much of a weird creep he is. This also applies to the ''audience reaction'' as well, as many viewers were more disgusted by him liking feet than him exploiting Alicent for sexual gratification, while not having nearly as strong a reaction to the incest, genital mutilation, and graphic violence featured on the show, which Creator/OliviaCooke (who plays Alicent) later commented on.
86	* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'': {{Subverted\|Trope}} in the season seven premiere. Dee hangs outs with Frank's fiancee, a hooker named Roxy, and is extremely impressed to find out that Tiger Woods is a client of hers. Then, Dee finds out that the client isn't actually Tiger Woods, and is just a random black guy [[spoiler: or Donavan McNab, or Don Cheedle, but probably just actually Elvin from the Cosby Show]] who likes "foot shit". Dee's disgusted at first... [[MoneyDearBoy until Roxy reveals how much "Tiger Woods" pays her just to rub her feet]]. This makes Dee instantly decide to become a "foot girl", which she proudly says to the Gang at the end. [[TheFriendNobodyLikes They more or less react like they would to anything Dee says.]]
87	* In ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', Jessica spies on one of her neighbors across the street sniff his partner's shoes. While it is actually creepy that he did this without letting his partner know, [[CringeComedy Jessica's reaction implies that it's just gross he has a shoe fetish]].
88	* Discussed in one segment of ''Series/TheLateLateShow with Creator/JamesCorden'', in which he's interviewing Creator/AlisonBrie. Corden brought up how Brie has a devoted fandom of people with foot fetishes, [[CringeComedy obviously with the intent to make a joke of it]]. Brie responded by [[DefiedTrope actually defending those fans, calling foot fetishists "cool", and proudly showing her feet to Corden's audience]]. When Corden continued to say that he thinks foot fetish acts are gross, she bluntly responded, "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Yeah, but who's it hurting?]]", to which Corden didn't have an answer.
89	* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' consistently portrays anybody with a fetish as either a rapist, a rapist wannabe, a {{serial killer}}, or a pathetic loser.
90	* Foot fetishes in ''Series/ModernFamily'' are always portrayed as disgusting and wrong.
91	** Haley sends a picture of her feet to a prospective boyfriend in "Egg Drop". Everyone finds it creepy and thinks she should break it off, and Gloria even tells her "all foot guys are creeps".
92	** A creepy truck driver wants to see Alex's feet in the season 6 premiere episode.
93	** Alex's feet become a plot device in the episode "No Small Feet", where she enters an online business to sell pictures of them to perverted men with foot fetishes.
94	* Played for laughs in ''Series/MrAndMrsSmith2024'' when John snoops on Jane's personal computer. She has a tab open to a cannibalism and vore pornography site. Later, it turns out she was just using it to mess with him for lurking.
95	-->'''Woman #1:''' Don't put me in the oven and cook me. I don't want to go in there.
96	-->'''Woman #2:''' Come here and let me ''season you.''
97	** In the same episode, it turns out their mark has a thing for [[KinkyRolePlaying puppy play]], which leads to John and Jane having an [[AwkwardKiss awkward first kiss]].
98	* In ''Series/NipTuck'', Christian Troy is in an on/off relationship with Gina, a sex addict, whom he eventually knocks up and sticks around with so he can be a responsible father despite his promiscuous nature. Christian later runs into a baby supply store clerk who slept with Gina and turns out to have a pregnant woman fetish. [[DisproportionateRetribution Christian is so disgusted by this revelation that he beats the man.]]
99	* ''Series/{{Succession}}'': Roman has a lot of power/control fetishes; he doesn't seem able to perform during "normal" penetrative sex, so he enjoys being jerked off (or masturbating) and being humiliated. He's also an inappropriate {{slimeball}} of a character.
100	* In ''Series/TwinPeaks'', the corrupt businessman Benjamin Horne and his mistress and partner in crime Catherine Martell have a relationship in the vein of PowerDynamicsKink that involves him [[IKissYourFoot kissing her feet]] and her [[RomanticRibbing replying to his compliments with sarcastic quips]]. [[spoiler:Exaggerated when he's accused of murder and arrested, and she visits him in jail. She takes off her shoe, and he kisses her foot, pleading her to confirm his alibi.]]

104	* Over [[EraSpecificPersonality the course of his appearances]], Music/{{Eminem}}'s Slim Shady character develops a bit of a thing for having women beat him.
105	-->The safe word is, 'don't stop'.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Video Games]]
109	* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'': Susumu Gondawara is a Yakuza patriarch who appears in ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'' and ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' who is obsessed with infant play, where he and his underlings put on diapers and are doted on by a woman named Machiko wearing little more than an apron. He's also eager to the point of violence to get others involved in his fetish, resulting in a fight with Kiryu when his "hospitality" is rejected. His underlings make it clear afterwards that they are ''not'' into this, but because he's their boss, they have to go along with it.
110	* Inverted for laughs in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' where the player can hire Sorn Orlith, a very popular sex worker at a brothel, who is apparently used to "extremes". The option that makes even ''him'' shocked at the player's depravity? Missionary with the lights off. He then has the time of his life roleplaying a tepid, clumsy, DeadSparks lover.
111	--> '''Sorn''': ''Boring sex''? That's a new fetish entirely.
112	* Bartholomew Roberts in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has a fetish for [[Main/HidingBehindYourBangs eyes covered by bangs]]. And he is very vocal about it, harassing everyone regardless of gender or age.
113	--> '''Bartholomew''': By the way, would you mind hiding your eyes with your bangs?
114	--> '''Leonardo Da Vinci'''[[note]][[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext in a form of a child homunculus]][[/note]]: Okay, that is more than enough of you pushing your creepily specific fetish on LITERALLY EVERYONE around you. Seek help.

117	[[folder:Web Animation]]
118	* ''WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged'': Dr. Hojo boasts about his experiments, which involve crossbreeding two completely different creatures, being his fetish when he is preparing to force Red and Aerith to breed, completely grossing out the heroes. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the Shinra staff consider him creepy because of this]].

121	[[folder:Webcomics]]
122	* Creator/LoreSjoberg once brought up the risk of your suicide-by-hanging being mistaken for autoerotic asphyxiation going wrong, and thus you being wrongfully recognized as a shameful fetishist rather than a sympathetic suicidal victim. The solution? Carry a sign reading "I didn't get off on this".
123	* ''Webcomic/LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes'': After a time-travel arc results in multiple changes to characters uninvolved in the arc, Belle (who is now human-sized rather than fairy) says she doesn't need to sell pictures of her feet to perverts (to get stuff made at her scale), she has a Lonely Fans account for that.
124	-->'''Belle:''' Let's just say showing more than feet gets you more than controllers.
125	* ''Creator/MoringMark'': In [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2aBriFcjC/ this comic]] based on ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', King Shastacan manages to [[SparedByTheAdaptation escape being eaten by Globgor]] by telling the angry monster that [[TooKinkyToTorture he's into vore]]. When a disturbed Globgor then decides to [[TrampledUnderfoot stomp him to death]] instead, Shastacan decides to let Rhombulus fill in the details of how he escaped ''that'' for himself. Judging by his disturbed expression, Shastacan clearly finds his supposed fetishes as creepy and unsavoury as Globgor himself. Though it is unclear if he actually has the fetishes or [[RefugeInAudacity is just lying to make Globgor too uncomfortable to kill him]].
126	* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': One restaurant owner is shown to [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/all-in/ wear a fursuit of an anthropomorphic chicken]] ([[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/cluck-cluck/ his restaurant's mascot]]). Except it turns out he didn't even know furries existed, and [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/sancitity/ is outraged that he could be mistaken]] for "one of ''those'' people". Davan and Peejee are torn between letting the guy down gently and making fun of him.

130	* ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'': [[https://youtu.be/fMihrAbG4RY?t=151 Zorin Blitz uses her suggestion powers]] to force Miller to hallucinate his daughter, only for it to backfire because he's lucid enough to remember that not only does he not have a daughter, it is downright ''impossible'' for him to be a father, as he had a vasectomy right after he finished high school. The hallucination quickly backpedals and instead claims she's his niece, which doesn't work either as Miller points out that it is equally as impossible, since he's an only child. Zorin then tries to probe a little deeper into Miller's mind to find something he ''wants'' to see. This results in her conjuring up an image of Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog sporting a foot-long erection which gets the desired result, although she's clearly creeped out by it.
131	-->'''Sonic:''' I've been waiting for you, Miller...

135	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Discussed in "The Missing Kink", in which Francine becomes addicted to Stan [[KinkySpanking spanking her]] and eventually runs away when Stan has enough and calls her a weirdo. Roger ends up showing him (through an extravagant musical number) that it's sometimes healthy for couples to have kinks and that everybody has one. Unfortunately, because Stan's been so repressed all of his life that when he does decide to indulge in a kink, he wants to indulge in ''all of them'', which freaks out even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Roger]].
136	* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai''. While the heroic characters engage in vanilla sex, there are several references to [[BigBad Abijah Fowler]]’s perverse cravings for new sexual experiences. He is shown being serviced in an orgy and being pegged by a prostitute wearing a long-nosed tengu mask (with said nose). On the other hand, Madam Kaji's teahouse specializes in fetishes and she holds a positive view of them overall, only despising Fowler because he hurts her women.
137	* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "Sheesh! Cab Bob?", Bob learns from Marshmallow and a few of her prostitute friends that his SitcomArchnemesis Jimmy Pesto frequents in the same circles as them in the Desire Dungeon. He's also revealed to have a diaper fetish, going by the name "Baby Num-Num" at the Desire Dungeon, which is used by Bob as blackmail to get Jimmy Jr. to Tina's birthday party. It helps that Jimmy Sr. is a tremendous jerk to Bob's family and his own kids.
138	* A few examples exist in ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', though often PlayedWith.
139	** {{Invoked}} and {{Subverted}} in "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS1E2LawnmowerDog Lawnmower Dog]]". Rick tries to help Morty get an A in math by "incepting" his teacher's dreams. After going deeper into Goldenfold's subconscious, they reach a dream-level that is entirely devoted to his sexuality (in the form of a giant orgy), where there's BDSM, fetish gear, gnomes, and animal-human hybrids. Both Rick and Morty are uncomfortable, but Rick quickly "blends in" and engages in some pet-play with the gnomes. [[EveryoneHasStandards The only thing that crosses the line for them is Goldenfold's fantasies about Summer, Morty's teenage sister, understandably.]]
140	--->'''Morty:''' (nervously) Oh man, Rick, this is pretty weird!\
141	'''Rick:''' Don't judge, Morty.
142	** {{Downplayed}} in the episode, "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS2E2MortynightRun Mortynight Run]]", where Morty saves a sentient fart with telepathic powers. When they first meet, Fart reads his mind and accidentally reveals that Morty is randomly thinking about [[SatelliteLoveInterest Jessica's]] feet. It's PlayedForLaughs, but nobody makes a big deal about it, probably because one is a gas cloud without a grasp of human behaviour, and the other is [[SeenItAll Rick]].
143	** A sex offender tries to take a picture of Morty and Summer's feet in "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS2E3AutoEroticAssimilation [=AutoErotic=] Assimilation]]" when he is released from Unity's control. The creepiness is more the fact that Morty and Summer are ''teenagers'', but still.
144	** Jerry's parents Leonard and Joyce reveal that they have added a third to their relationship, Jacob, a man close to Jerry's age. It's revealed that Leonard has a cuckold fetish and he gets off watching Jacob and Joyce have sex while he hides in the closet (and dressed as Superman, for good measure). Jacob isn't just an occasional threesome partner but is now romantically involved with them as well, and they bring him over for Thanksgiving dinner. While most of the family tries to be accommodating, Jerry is ''extremely'' uncomfortable.
