Question 6

IS THIS A DATING CLUB?

Accepted Answer

While we love love and are happy when our members connect organically, we are an intentionally desexualized space both in person and on our social. Being a desexualized space means that we're committed to cultivating online and in person spaces where sexualizing comments, non consensual touch, invasions of personal space or belongings, fat fetishization, and persistent unwanted attention of any kind is unacceptable and grounds to be asked to leave or be blocked.

There are many online and in person meet ups dedicated to dating and intimate connections. Part of FBCC's commitment to fat liberation and body liberation is fostering opportunities for genuine connection, support, and joy safe from sexualization and fetishization.
