The classic toxicity present among any individuals in a community - who discourage creators and give fetishists a bad name. Similarly, fetish-mining: fetishists harassing creators, who aren’t wedgie-focused, to make wedgie videos. Creeping them out and bringing unwanted/negative attention to us.
And also the community’s overall concerns about illegitimacy and embarrassment about the fetish. We don’t have enough openness and people sharing who they are or public about the fetish, so we’re all afraid and that’s a problem.
And fragmentation (a key concept not often explored in community discussions) - we used to be on one site (Wedgie Girls) and now we’re on countless sites. It’s difficult to form a community when so spread out.
Underage is a problem but a lot of the people with the kink are also underage, and a lot of people get into the kink because of things that typically happen in HS and they get it in high school. Not an excuse absolutely, but just some things that I think you do need to put into context. Like there is a line somewhere right? 18 and 16 too weird? 18 and 15? 20 and 17?
Toxic people are terrible and creeps are terrible no two ways about it.
I would personally say fragmentation and being niche are the biggest issues. Personally I don't think kink should be a public thing, but it would be nice to have some kind of popular kink matching service thst wasnt filled with bots, catfish, creeps, etc.
