I think calling it a fetish is reductive. It’s a lot of these things - the lack of education and access to healthcare. But also to a certain degree it is selfishness if you’re just having way more kids than you could possibly care for. Not really a fetish (although I’m sure some people have that), but probably just carrying out an unrealistic dream of theirs.
Yeah so I’m OP of the quoted post, it’s not reductive for calling it as what it is and being displayed as. It’s a fetish, a woman just admitted she has kids because she gets welfare until they are 7 yrs old. She’s currently on her 7th who just turned 2 and is going to try again cause why not. Thats not selfish and a fetish. There are children who cutoff whole families because of how extreme the neglect is or because they become tertiary parents in a house they are supposed to be a child.
Every class has people within it that figure out how to play the system. As they say don’t hate the playa hate the game. Just bc a child turns seven doesn’t mean they don’t cost money and time. For a large portion of Americans it’s either work so much you never see your kids, marry rich, or scam the system just to survive. We can’t all be Musk rats 🐀 Oh and you aren’t describing a fetish you’re describing desperation Ps if you need a visual representation I’d suggest Idiocracy lolol
It’s a fetish definition of fetish is not inherently sexual. Fetish (n) can be defined as a fixation, or an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion; per merriam Webster. Her fixation is on having babies and collecting welfare till they are 7 not the kids or their wellbeing, she has an obsessive devotion of continuing to have kids to remain on welfare, that’s a fetish. All of you in here not knowing a fetish doesn’t have to be sexual isn’t my problem.
