I hope i don't get downvoted for this

I like the theory that the reason people like feet is because the area of the brain that controls your feet is close to the area that makes you feel things and in some people the "wires" can cross:

I feel like this is absurd with even a little bit of thought. Why does this sort of explanation apparently only work for feet and not other fetishes? Why does it matter if wires can get crossed for nerves in the feet if most people with foot fetishes are into other people's feet and not having things done to their own feet? This gets mentioned a lot online but it makes no sense.

Which is why strip clubs, presumably, never do any business?
Strip clubs prove people pay to perform arousal cues. not that tits are magic arousal buttons. Context sells, not anatomy. I guess you need to look up the definition of 'inherently'.
How do your eyes work?
By processing signals, not generating meaning. You don’t get horny from photons; you get horny from associations.
Why are you being a Titty Flat-Earther?
Because I’m not dumb enough to confuse popularity with proof.
Also, being a Flat-Titty Earther would land me in a lot of trouble.
Strip clubs prove people pay to perform arousal cues.
But this won't work, because there's nothing inherently sexy about arousal cues. Therefore, nobody goes to them and the businesses all fail immediately.
Context sells, not anatomy.
Omit the anatomy and see how much context you sell.
You don’t get horny from photons
You quite literally do. If your eyes are closed, the visual medium has no effect.

You're arguing against how eyeballs work, at this point

"There's nothing inherently sexy about arousal cues. Therefore, nobody goes to them..."
You’re trying to sarcasm your way around a syllogism that doesn’t follow. Arousal cues work because of conditioned association. That’s the point. Still not "inherent."
"Omit the anatomy and see how much context you sell."
Sure. Now omit the context and see how much bare anatomy sells. Oh right, that's why porn has genres, costumes, settings, and storylines.
"You quite literally do [get horny from photons]."
No. You get visual input from photons. Interpretation happens in the brain. By your logic, a baby looking at porn would pop a boner. Try again.
"You're arguing against how eyeballs work."
Nah, I’m arguing against how your brain works; specifically, its need to reduce complex psychological responses to caveman-tier hot take bullshit.

Feet are hot cause i can feel a lot of emotion through them

checks the ad revenues on literally any low-rent basic bitch porn site
Significantly more.

Okay buddy. Take a walk and touch grass.

Hot take: pansexual people are better off than people with a specific genital fetish.
I'm bi (specifically polysexual, but that gets confusing because its less well known and I'm also polyamorous) and my attraction to specific genitals is roughly equal to body morphology and a cute face's importance, but I'm simply way less less picky about them.
I wish I was just as non-picky about the body morphology and cute faces. My romantic life would probably have been way more fulfilling at this point if that had been the case.

You’re not making arguments, you’re just stapling confidence to correlation and calling it a worldview.

We're on thin ice here, because some people conflate dressing sexily with looking cool more than wanting to be desired sexually, but in general I agree with your edit.
Yea, that's why I said nightclub, where social interaction and maybe sexyness is generally a significant part.
If someone simply looks sexy in their work uniform... yea, not the best time unless there are other clues. lol

That is the Forest Spirit from the movie Princess Mononoke. Wonderful movie if you haven't seen it! Watches more like a Disney movie than an anime.
Oh daaamn, I didn't know it was such a prestigious source. Probably explains the one downvote. lol
Definitely agreed with other commenter that in modern times, comparing things to Disney is more of a back handed complement.
