Yeah this is the only context I’ve seen it in. The other context is extremely off putting and maybe a good argument for not logging off.

In the form of catcalls it's usually someone making totally inappropriate comments about feet at literally every single opportunity where anything to do with feet arises. Show dem feetsies, tootsies, etc etc etc. You definitely only see this behaviour online in text format though. Tiktok comment sections directed at the videomaker, or chatrooms (discord) where someone is making it not directed at anyone in particular but indirectly to the whole room, it becomes an indirect catcall that makes the women in the room uncomfortable.

Not that women can’t enjoy being subby, just the context of it being a power play for someone to use on a prostitute by asking them to do it or something.

Not just a sexworker, but anyone. It's not uncommon at all for me to get the vibe from a guy that he is trying to see just what he can get me to do for the sake of the fact that he wants to get me to do things I'm uncomfortable with, wants to push it, push it, push it. I think a lot of guys behave this way, that the act of getting women to do things they're not comfortable with is a part of dominating them for them.

This is fine, in a consensual s/d relationship with boundaries and rules and trust and such. It becomes an agreed to part of the scenario where the sub has actively agreed to being made uncomfortable. But a lot of guys behave this way without any of that.
