The origin of giantess fetish and fetish fuel is unknown and likely varies from person to person.
- Fetish Fuel is a fan term used as a label for any element of a story that serves to titillate the reader’s erotic or obsessional sensibilities.
- It stands in pretty well for the word ‘fixation’, actually.
-
Both of these sentences mean the same thing:
- “He has a Light Saber fixation.”
- “Light Sabers are his fetish fuel.”
- Tropedia does not collect examples of fetish fuel, as it is known that literally everything is someone’s fetish fuel.
- Fetish Fuel is an Audience Reaction, not an In-Universe example.
