This may sound ranty, but it's really not. And as every troll knows, the safety of the room with the computer screen gives one a remarkable desire to speak one's mind. And this is from my own observing brain and my own experience which isn't as extensive as many of you.
I truly understand people who are immensely shy about their tickle fetish. I am. My entire life, I have never been comfortable even saying the word 'tickle' out loud, even to myself, without blushing. Adding the extra 'ing' on the end to make 'tickling' is something I just can't get past my lips at all, I'm that self-conscious about it. I understand, I really do. It's hard to tell people of the vanilla persuasion.
But what evidence is there that we're considered freaks or creepy? Every single girl I've plucked up the courage to tell thought it was cute as hell. Hell, one (years ago...) was so enthusiastic about this new bondage play idea that when I told her we instantly went on a shopping trip. It's being tied up and having the nerve endings in zones that are very erogenous stimulated in a playful way. Think about it!
Look at erotic lingerie. A lot of it is trimmed with pink or red fluffy shit, same with erotic slippers. You go to a sex shop and the 'tasteful' red-satin, candlelight style, erotic toy selections tend to include feather dusters. Some are even called 'ticklers'. It's written on the box! There's an edible product called Honeydust that uses a feather duster as an applicator. The act of playful tickle among adults is anchored deep in the subconscious erotic mind of our society. Mainly as a brief foreplay activity, but it's there. Just don't ever innocently tickle a child in front of a person whom you've opened up to...there's a chance they would take it the wrong way.
Feet however, is a problem. Even among regular fetish people, three of whom I worked with up until a couple weeks ago. One even referred to a man in her own little play group as the 'icky' foot guy. She'd use him for massages then get away from him. I opened up to her, not about my foot thing, but about my tickle thing, and she said she loved to do that with her Dom. The other two, while trolling Fetlife on their phones at work looked at a guy, then said ' ooh he's nice...what's he into? Feet! Eww creepy' and moved on to someone else as quickly as their fingers would let them, as if the very page were dirty. Generally I've found this to be with women who are self-conscious about their own feet (one brought 3 pairs of socks and 2 pairs of shoes to work to change into each day because she constantly thought they were sweaty and awful) and they have a hard time figuring out why a man would like to put his mouth there. I have the same thoughts about oral myself, but that's just me. Plus it's all down to visuals. I'm a foot guy...but I'm also aware that if it looks creepy, it'll be seen as that. And a guy with rapturously closed eyes snaking his tongue around a girls toes may be in heaven himself, but in the real world, he's locked in the same box as a panty-sniffer by society because of how it looks. Sorry to say. If you like to tickle nothing but feet or your favorite method is with your tongue, then by by a visually-stimulated vanilla society like this one, you are not seen as a tickle fetishist, you're a foot guy. They don't think 'he likes to tickle, he's creepy.' They thinking 'he likes feet, he's creepy.'
A vanilla person that thinks this site is creepy is not seeing tickling. They're seeing how it's covered in feet. Not a bad thing in our world, but in the rest of the world sadly...You may as well call a foot worship video 'two girls one foot' to the main bulk of the population, that's where the attitude is firmly rooted. Tickling is only loosely related to it. It's seen as creepy only when that relationship becomes more prominent.

I don't need to convert the world to my way of thinking; I just need to find (and have found) women who agree with me.
