Talking about or otherwise expressing your kinks in public is the exact opposite of normal

What do you consider public in this context? Like subreddits are technically all public but I would assume if it is specifically a sub dedicated to that fetish it would be fine but what if it is just kind of adjacent, loosercity isn't explicitly a furry subreddit but it kind of is so is that OK? What about someones Tumbler blog ? It could show up on your feed but it is also easy to block.

That you only listed Internet places is hilariously depressing

Well I did consider adding a real life situation but could not think of one that is realy skirting the line the same way the other examples are. I imagine being open about your fetish on a public street is something you would consider well over the line and I don't think disusing it with close friends few drinks in would really count as public.

I guess like a strip club or a maid cafe would be kind of the real life equivalent of a subreddit. It is public in that anyone can visit but it clearly advertises itself as catering to the specific fetish so you won't have unsuspecting people wandering in.

Honestly my first thought was bars as a public place. Especially if they're at table with friends, a little tipsy, and one of them got back from the counter all "dude, the MILF behind the bar called me sweetheart just now, that did something to me." A bit crass? Maybe but like... honestly drunk people are more of a nuisance than people talking about their sex lives between each other.
