What is fetishization? It's sexual harassment when it's non-consensual and is banned on Bumble.
Fetishization is a sexual fascination with things not inherently sexual, like race, gender, or sexuality. Fetishization reduces people to a certain characteristic and can be extremely dehumanizing. Follow the stories of six real people on Bumble to learn about what it looks like and how it's harmful.
Bumble’s mission has always been to build a platform rooted in respect and kindness, and we’re taking another step to make our app safer for our community by classifying fetishization as sexual harassment– and it won't be tolerated on our app.
Let’s work together to create a kinder and more accepting internet for everyone. If you see or experience non-consensual fetishization on Bumble, please use our Block and Report tool. To learn more, visit https://bumble.com/en/the-buzz/bumble....
