I take the media as an expression of its creator and don't like the media because of this particular type of expression of its creators. If you put the foot kink in a strip club or scene where its appropriate or as part of characterising someone who is clearly a sexpest then I'm actually not going to have any problem with it. But the elements where it's just slyly in there because the creator themself is a sexpest are the media equivalent of being catcalled or groped in a club to me, I want it to fuck off.
I think in one implementation the only judgement I can make is that the creators are gooning sexpests whereas in the other implementation due to it being context appropriate I don't have to negatively judge the creator.
I don't disagree, there are things I've dropped or refused to touch because the creator is obviously a sex pest, so I'm absolutely not arguing that people shouldn't feel put off by things that it makes complete sense to feel put off by. I have an unusually high personal tolerance for The Writer's Barely-Disguised Fetish but I don't judge others for having a lower tolerance. The only thing I'm actually trying to argue is that it is possible to put your own fetish in a story in a way that doesn't come across as sex-pest-y, but that those cases will remain very rare and obscure as long as society is controlled by sex pests.
