I'm not looking for unilateral acceptance, dear Eliza Jane, I'm looking for support and what is supportive about questioning my mental health and my moral judgement in "choosing" Nazis as my particular fetish, however rape fantasies, foot fetishes, even those who have posted questions of feelings of pedophilia are quite understandable. It would be understandable to be curious about my fetish, like a few on PC whom established a relationship with me and have grown to understand, but I was not expecting such a sway from the original post as if we were discussing Nazism and not fetishism. It may seem like posters did not attack me, but I feel overall very judged and unwanted here.

Please, Eliza Jane, correct me if I am mistaken, but the majority of posters here have failed to recognize what a fetish is. On PC one can choose from about 100 different mental illnesses and disorders, including fetishism which you can find listed under my mental health concerns in my "About Me." A fetish is very much a sexual issue and can very well be a mental disorder, defined as:
"the sexual arousal a person receives from a physical object, or from a specific situation. A sexual fetish may be regarded as an enhancing element to a romantic/sexual relationship "achieved in ordinary ways (e.g. having the partner wear a particular garment)"
or
as a mental disorder/disorder of sexual preference if it causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life "
I am saddened to see what support I have been shown towards a sexual issue on a Sexual and Gender Issues forum, where, as stated, is for "frank and open discussion about sexuality, sexual identity (gay/lesbian/transgendered/bisexual), sexual problems and sexual issues."
I've shied away from the trigger button because quite frankly I have no need to. The word "Nazi" is about as big of a giant flashing neon sign as it gets, the trigger button only redundant to prove that anything worse will only be against policy. Therefore, if you are not comfortable reading posts from or speaking with a Nazi fetishist, then keep in mind that you are not obligated to do so. This is a safe place for me--the only place I can speak my mind about my mental and sexual health issues without being judged, and for the moment I'm feeling very much judged.
Finding another website with "other" Nazi fetishists is just not possible because my dear, I have been there. It is not a safe place on those websites. They do not talk about mental health on those websites, they talk sex and finding other fetishists to have sex with, and I get flooded with emails of people who want me to do such and such to them without them ever knowing who I am or what I look like. Is that really a safe place for me to talk about my guilt, my worries, my conflicting moral views? No, so I stay here, and there are a few people who understand who I am and who I am not on PC, and I would be comfortable with answering questions about my fetish to those who are curious, but questioning my sanity and my moral judgement is where I draw the line, because I am not a Nazi and I do have feelings. I've never bragged about my fetish, I've never gone into detail about what I fantasize about unless asked, I as a person am just your typical American college student, and I have given no reason to make anyone uncomfortable aside from my fetish itself and I feel very much unwanted and judged.
