Fetish-Bait

Also known as "Fetish Mining" or "Fetish Fishing" or "Fetish Farmer" you name it.

Commonly on Deviantart, it's a Type of Grooming when someone requests/commission another who has a vanilla fetish/no Fetish to draw certain characters in certain situations that seems harmless at first but its actually a existing fetish, the fetish miner mostly never listened to the rules on the rq/comm board or just displayed their harmless looking fetish in the request

Most of the victims considering: Popular artists, Underage Artist that's Unaware that is a fetish

Most common fetish example being: Puffy cheeks, Paraskirting, BubbleGum Blowing, under a Bubble, ECT.

GumBlowerGirl37: I want you to Draw Princess Tippi blowing a huge bubblegum in the same size as her, it's not a fetish that would be soooo cute :3
Unaware person: ok, I'll draw it later
Aware person: don't draw it! It's Fetish-Bait!

Unaware person: oh, thank you, I'll cancel it. Sorry GumBlowerGirl37.

Bait

A word used by Weeaboos to directly attack the character and integrity of any poster which holds any opposing valid opinion they don't agree with. It is often used in response to any anti-anime or Anti-Japanese culture post in substitution of actual argument or debate, in order to discourage further posts from that user.

This sure is great bait! I almost bit it! You need to try harder OP! I won't be fooled so easily!
