auroraprincessbabe: My experience with diversity in kink started on Fetlife. I never thought that there were many littles who were PoC or not tiny when I started exploring this side of myself. Diverse littles weren’t as visible to me there and still aren’t to an extent. I felt so uncomfortable. I even got messages on Fetlife pointing out my lack of pale skin and the fact I wasn’t petite. I quickly felt invalidated. Even my first potential Daddy had a problem with my size due to the “standard” some people hold littles too. Well, fuck those standards. I took this disappointment and decided not to let it affect me negatively. So, I joined Tumblr; well kinky Tumblr hoping to meet more open-minded kinksters and littles. At first, I saw no diversity and I thought this sucks. But after following @sweetie-peaches she started reblogging littles of PoC and who were all sizes. I was so excited. I quickly started following sooo many people. I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to see so many different people of all shades, genders, sexual orientations and sizes. Which is why diversity is important. Just like that, she gave me a validation that I didn’t have. I followed all the DD/lg and little tags; I didn’t see the diversity there (which I think is changing now). I learn so much from you all. You open my eyes. Diversity educates me and makes me better. It makes the world better. Smashes the bubble people live in. Welcome to reality! Everyone is unique and should be praised for their differences. My point is that I know what it feels like to feel like there’s no one out there like you. So my hope is maybe my followers see a post on my post of someone or something and just like that they feel a kinship. They feel connected to me or someone else and they feel less alone. -- source link
