No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Welll, you have to understand that there's no way to give a definitive answer to a what if like this. You're asking for a prediction on something that's highly individual, and very difficult to find research on to back up any opinion.
Like, I'm kink friendly as hell. Anything between two consenting adults is fine by me as long as I'm not expected to be enthusiastic about it. So it isn't uncommon for people to end up sharing (over sharing many times lol) details of the how and why of their kink with me. When people find someone that's either open minded, or at least doesn't judge them based only on their kink, they almost need to open up about it.
It's this whole thing.
But scat? It's so far outside my personal limits that it's difficult to keep composure when it comes up in person, that even when I'm saying I don't judge them based on that, my face shows my strong dislike of being pooped on. I used to be a nurse's assistant, so I've been pooped on way more than is fair. It's hard not to at least wrinkle my nose, you dig?
Which is just me explaining how little good information on the subject of scat fetishes and fetishists there is. There aren't a ton of published articles. Everything is essentially anecdotal. And even my anecdotes are limited, and I've had necrophiliacs plural open up to me about their fetish.
That's a long fucking disclaimer lol.
So, my opinion? You wouldn't see much of a shift. There's already ways to reduce the smell of your feces, and make it worse. So the people that have a strong preference about the smell of it as relates to their kink can already have their poo cake and eat it too
But that's still only so useful as an opinion because while I would have to take off my pants and have a buddy standing by to count the scat fetishists I've listened to about their desires, the buddy wouldn't even have to take off their shoes. Sorry about that, I've been waiting for the chance to use that description, and it's perfect for this.
The "good" news? If you hunt around and keep an open mind while being civil and non judgemental, you can find scat fetishists online with a bit of patience.
If you're interested, I can go into detail about what I've been told that leads me to have the opinion that it wouldn't change, but it's kinda gross to most people, so I won't go into it without a request.
Thank you for the thought out response. Lots of little kernels of information here that I'll need to take a moment to digest.
