I’m curious if there is a consensus among y'all- do you prefer when the gainers are enthusiastic or reluctant?

Here’s an interesting one… In feedism smut spaces, there are usually two narratives when it comes to weight-gain stories. Either the person gaining weight is a fully enthusiastic, consenting participant, eager to see the changes in their body and lifestyle, or they are resistant, fighting their gluttonous urges at every turn but failing—destined to keep gaining weight whether they want to or not, and often navigating extremely embarrassing situations along the way.

I think a person’s preferences toward either of these scenarios is an interesting psychological case study—an expression of their response to whatever specific diet culture, body-shaming, or eating habits they were surrounded by during their upbringing. Neither is more valid than the other, and often people enjoy a play between the two! I know I do, though in all honesty I tend to have a leaning toward scenarios in which the gainer is genuinely a slave to their appetites (or manipulated and exploited by others who note this quality in them), doomed to get fatter and fatter and fatter despite their resistance. For whatever reason, these stories pack more of a punch for me… I’m curious which scenario my patrons most prefer!

(And just to state it plainly—though I’d like to think it shouldn’t need to be said—I am not condoning any unconsented weight gain or feeding irl. What individuals agree to do with their bodies inside or outside a feedist context, is fully their right and theirs alone, and as long as they have honest conversations about expectations, know how to institute safe words, and express boundaries, the possibilities of play are literally endless and should never be a source of shame, no matter how abhorrent they may seem from normie standards—I mean, that’s half the fun sometimes 😳😂)
