- I think I am going to write a blog post for my word “fetishism”
- I’m honestly not sure who reads blog posts and how they tend to be accessed because I don’t read any myself, but I imagine my potential audience to be similar to myself- younger adults. Although I’d ideally want the message to be received by a wider audience, I think my writing would be especially tailored for young women of color specifically. Given that the first thought to came to my mind when I saw the word “fetishism” was the idea of asian fetishization, I was pretty surprised when I Googled it and found that the word had an additional definition beyond the sexual context. But, I doubt that I’m the only young person who’s only ever heard the word used in a sexual context, so I thought that exploring its other meanings while also considering its more modern or relevant meaning across the internet or popular culture would be interesting for others like myself. In particular, however, I’d hope that it might be interesting for other women of color who have been the object of fetishism in the sexual context and, like me, may not be sure how to process it. I think writing in the more casual style of a blog post on this topic would make it easier to relate or connect with such an audience.
