I have been aware that there seem to be more Pride Flags around than the usual rainbow flag, so I did a little digging to see if there was a Foot Fetish Pride Flag.
There isn't just one, there are two.
This first design is a bit too obvious for my liking.
'This foot fetish flag is an unconventional, not complying with the international 2:3 ratio layout. It's unusual 1:3 ratio is meant to be reminscent of the shape of a foot in profile. Designed under the pseudonym Uboa. The black field represents solidarity with fellow foot fetishists and a sense of community. The blue stripe is a call back to other fetish pride flags and symbolizes foot fetishism as one of a larger community of fetishes, each one unique and deserving of respect. The heart symbolizes love, including the love for feet, which is white to symbolize that it is undefined, and up to the person looking at it to "fill it in" with that which they personally desire about feet. Meant to be inclusive of all aspects of foot fetishism and related fetishes (hosiery, footwear, footjobs, submission, crushing, shrimping, etc.). The ten stars represent the ten toes on the average pair of feet, and therefore they symbolize feet in general. They're on the bottom of the flag as that is where the foot is in relation to the body. Red symboilized the color of life and vitality and love.'

Wow, that's quite the lexicon of "acceptable" PC terms for all of these communities. Is there like an app or something that I can download that has daily updates to it so that way I'm always in the loop on what all these acceptable terms are? Haha.
Regarding a FF pride flag, I don't think I'd be too much of an advocate for that. Whenever I think of adjectives to describe me as a person, "foot fetishsist" isn't the first one at the top of the list to label myself so I can feel like I belong to a certain group. I personally feel like first and foremost slapping a label like that on yourself to identify yourself just puts you into a box to where you're essentially just a number in that box.
Personally, I don't feel like I need to demand the approval of others and demand that they accept me so that way it makes me feel "normal" and that all of my issues will just magically go away if others would just go along with my charade.

Well put.
The problem is you are thinking logically, where as most people take on this topic emotionally.

No one needs a flag to feel accepted or normal, it's just a fun, cool symbol of something we like. (Those that aren't in denial about what we like).
