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.
