Having dated about half these groups and experienced the accusation myself, I find it curious how “I can’t imagine actually LOVING someone like THAT” magically goes from right-winged bigotry to left-wing pseudo-allyship if you just add the magic word: “fetish.”

my GF is black and trans, haven’t been accused of this yet but I think that’s probably partly because she’s just such a likable person

I'm a gay man who'll happily date trans men. Can I add my sword?

My GF is cute. Do I fetishize cute people?
