We Found the Internet's Most Disturbing Subculture: Death Feederism

We stumbled onto something on Instagram we genuinely couldn't unsee: death feederism. It's an extreme subculture of the feederism kink where people are financially and emotionally encouraged to eat themselves toward severe health decline — sometimes death — for someone else's gratification.We break down exactly what it is, react to Caitlyn's own account of surviving the community after entering it at 500lbs and gaining her way to 600, and unpack the messier questions underneath: where does kink-shaming become justified, how is this different to other kinks involving pain or power play, and why do vulnerable people end up finding "community" in spaces that are actively hurting them (spoiler: it's basically cult psychology).We also get into body positivity vs. actual health, the algorithm rabbit holes that surface this content in the first place, and — because it's still us — a solid detour into weekend wine math.⚠️ This episode discusses disordered eating, coercive online communities, and suicidal ideation. If anything in this one hits close to home, Lifeline (13 11 14) and the Butterfly Foundation (1800 33 4673) are free, confidential, and available 24/7.CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro — What Is Death Feederism?0:44 Kink-Shaming 101: Is It Ever Okay?1:44 Wilko's Cursed Instagram Algorithm3:51 Meet Alicia: Body Positivity Done Right4:20 Caitlyn's Story: Surviving Death Feederism8:01 Unpacking the Community & Definition10:27 The Perth Model Who Fell Into It11:45 Empathy, Judgment & Body Image12:12 Body Positivity vs. Being Healthy14:01 The Official (Disturbing) Definition14:35 Mukbang, Fetish Eating & Where's the Line?15:53 Is Feeding Someone Morally Wrong?18:24 Comparing It to Other Kinks (BDSM, Pain Play)20:38 Why People Fall Into Communities Like This22:12 Wilko's Own Vices: Burgers & Weekend Wine25:34 Should Death Feederism Be Shut Down?26:35 Outro & Next Episode TeaseWilko & Courts is your twice-weekly deep dive into pop culture, reality TV and the internet's weirdest corners — new episodes every week.
