I happened to watch the news about the growing popularity of foot fetish “crush videos” on YouTube. The woman-like feet (no way to be sure if they belong to a male or female) are usually barefooted or wearing red stiletto as they stomp on things to arouse sexual pleasures.
Not to mention that it’s kind of twisted to allow the acts to be seen publicly by people around the world, some of the foot models are also tramping not just on fruits and stuffed toys but also on live insects and animals like mice and kittens!
Crush fetish is even categorized in two. “Soft crush” for those that involve small animals, usually invertebrates, like insects, worms, and spiders. The “hard crush” is done on larger, more pain-susceptible animals like mammals, birds, and reptiles.
This form of paraphilia has been going around since the late 1990s, but video-sharing websites like YouTube have brought its popularity to new heights.
Despite that the US Congress has passed a law in 1999 to outlaw the production of these crush videos, no one was really prosecuted. Worse, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has even invalidated the ban on the sale and possession of crush videos in 2008, because they are said to violate the Constitution’s guarantee for freedom of speech and expression.
The lawmakers opted to favor freedom of expression against the protection of minors, prostituted women, and even animals who all have the rights to be protected from sexual deviance and animal cruelty. Sick!
On December 2010, President Obama signed the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010 into law to re-criminalize the creation, sale, distribution, advertising, marketing and exchange of animal crush videos. This should eventually maim the heartless people who tramps and kills animals just for lust. If not, there should be a law that punishes the criminals by getting them tramped on by bigger animals like elephants. Now that’s hardcore.
Seriously. If people cannot contain their perversion to themselves, why do they have to harm other living creatures? We cannot judge people for their weird source of sexual pleasures, but this selfish harming of animals just to have arousal should not be tolerated. North Americans are supposedly known for being animal lovers. What now?
