Nobody. The film is about balance. Ashitaka spends the entire time trying to get better perspective and ask everyone to calm down.
Sen is stuck between worlds. Ashitaka is dragged into conflict.
Even Lady Eboshi is highly nuanced, caring for people and defending her clan, but she comes to a different belief about nature in the end.
The only baddie in my eyes was the emissary to the daimyo (or Lord, can't recall), and he was just serving his master.
I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she's charismatically evil so it comes off different.
She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she's effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.
She only cares about her people so long as they're empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.
Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn't actually change her ways.
I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don't recall if he literally says that)

"I'm not attracted to feet, which is a relief, because to be attracted to feet is immoral" -- presumably the opinion of social conservatives regarding homosexuals instead of feet.

Not a foot fetishist, eh?
But you did post a Sonic meme... sideyes
When I think fetishistic Sonic content, I think inflation and not feet.

I always wondered about this. Like what if it's just one person, who is extremely prolific?
And now you might say, "There's a dozen accounts."
Well what if they are extremely prolific and made multiple accounts?

Another one is this guy who’s into this deadly sunscreen stuff - like lesbians killing each other with evil sunscreen.
Both probably have spent thousands of dollars commissioning artists to draw these fetishes for them.
My weird 4chan archive has a guy where /b/ got together to draw a comic fulfilling his greatest wish - his lizard man OC getting vored, digested and shit out by a tuba.

Obviously, you needed my permission. I'll step on you later.

Not my thing but that last one goes hard.

There's a spectrum of Ace. I got one am a heteroromantic ace, and I'm a dude. So I am attracted to women romantically, but don't want to sleep with them.
It's a very frustrating combination that makes dating difficult.
So very true. People always think there's something wrong with you.
If you dont mind me asking, is it all sex or specific kinds?
Ive found this is also me to a degree. Enjoy performing things for the partner, but anything done to me does nothing including PiV.
Difficult to find discourse involving this so Apologies if this is prying lmao

Cuddling and massages are pretty much where it ends with me. I was in a relationship for a while, but it didn't work out timing-wiss with careers and locations. We still keep in touch and hang out a few times a year though.
Nice thing about an Ace breakup is there's less sexual baggage attached to becoming friends again.

See, guys who find it weird only do cuz their own feet are nasty, n let's be real men's feet are pretty nasty. You ain't trynna look at no man's asscheeks, but I don't hear no1 saying liking women with a fat arse is weird.

Yo, check out ballerina feet.

Right. Breasts serve a function related to reproduction - feeding children. But breast size is largely decoupled from a given breast's ability to feed children. So why do some women have needlessly big breasts? Because breasts are an example of human sexual dimorphism, and so emphasizing them increases sexual fitness since potential mates' brains will think "boobs = female = horny. More boobs = more female = more horny."

I'm more of a B - C type of guy.

nah, i have somewhat of a hand fetish and it has nothing to do with how hidden or not they are, i just think hands are inherently attractive if they look nice and feminine. Also big part of it is how sensitive the fingertips are, touching sensitive parts is just always gonna be nice.
Novelty doesn't arise from scarcity alone. There are other reasons you might find hands attractive, though I'd wager the fact that that your attraction is limited by their femininity and appearance, is a form of novelty itself.

At the end she says they'll forge a new relationship with nature and has a redemption arc.

Nice try. We're not checking anyone's feet out bro

I became interested in why foot fetishes occur recently.
Basically, it's the same reason why breasts are considered sexual (they aren't); it's all about novelty. If we lived in a nudist colony, neither feet, nor breasts would be considered sexy.
Feet get covered by shoes, making them more novel.
Tribal cultures dont regarded breasts, or feet, as sexy.
Though it begs the question: if nudity became normalized, then what would be novel?
People would find personalities, voices, power dynamics, and fantasies more or less erotic than they are now (for most people).
What do tribal cultures regard as sexy?

This doesn't work.
If it were only about novelty, then why aren't there more bellybutton fetishes?
Being a fetish-having person, I can tell you there there is more than just an attraction to the object of your desire. It is a primal, deep, uncontrollable NEED to see or touch the object.
I am not a foot fetishist, so I do not presume to know the intimate details of what they like, but I can promise you, it has nothing to do with novelty. Fetishes have so many variants also; there are foot fetishes, sock fetishes, feet squishing stuff, toenail paint things, some want a footjob, some want to lick them or suck on toes, some people like big feet, small feet, the list goes on and on.
Maybe read just a tiny bit? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetishism#Cause
You're conflating intensity with origin. Sure, the fetish feels like a deep, primal need now; but that doesn’t mean it started that way. Addiction feels like a need, too, but no one thinks the first cigarette was “primal.”
Novelty doesn’t mean “casual curiosity.” It refers to the way our brains fixate on patterns of scarcity, secrecy, or taboo. Especially during formative sexual experiences. Feet are usually hidden and rarely touched; in most cultures, they’re also considered dirty or improper to eroticize. That makes them novel stimuli, and novelty is rocket fuel for sexual imprinting.
The reason there aren’t more bellybutton fetishes? Simple: they’re not as hidden or taboo. You’ll see a bellybutton in every second Instagram post, and no one’s getting banned for it. Feet? Covered, ignored, often stigmatized, and that makes them psychologically ripe for fetishization.
Also, you mention the diversity of foot-related fetishes like it disproves the point, but it confirms it. The foot becomes a canvas for a range of niche fixations, because it’s already been elevated to erotic status by the novelty of its cultural invisibility. From there, everything else: socks, polish, squishing and domination branches off.
TL;DR: Just because your fetish feels deep doesn’t mean it wasn’t shaped by shallow cultural patterns. Read a bit deeper.

What do tribal cultures regard as sexy?
In many tribal societies, the erotic focus isn’t on specific body parts like breasts or feet; it's on signs of fertility, health, and social status. things like wide hips, smooth skin, body paint, scarification, or even dance.
-
I’m saying that from a third person perspective, theres nothing about them which inherently arousing
There seems to be ample evidence to the contrary. Whole pornographic industries exist to cater to people aroused by pictures of people in various states of undress.
You're still not getting it. The key word here is 'inherently'.
The sexual interest in people of different states of undress, or specific attire, is just another form of novelty, and influenced by culture.
-
Just like mouth, ears and all kind of body parts are capable of providing sexual stimulation without being considered arousing in the sense we still view breasts/ass and such.
Precisely.
It's amazing how people have misinterpreted what I've been saying lol.
