Where would the inflation community be without Violet?

I was thinking earlier today about how the inflation community (general, not all the specific ones) would change if the blueberry scene (or the entire book/movie) in Willy Wonka/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory never existed.

My current guesses as to what would have happened are:

The content would lean more towards enema inflation. As a result, the community itself would likely be closer to medfet/BDSM due to this change, assuming that most of the current inflation community only got into it because of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
If only the blueberry scene ceased to exist, the fizzy lifting drinks scene could have caused more soda-related inflation to happen, while keeping the community mostly the same.
The community would be smaller but similar to the way it is now, just with less fruit and more miscellaneous transformations caused by closer ties to the TF community.
The "general" community (Places like bodyinflation and inflatechan) would be smaller and less unified due to the lack of a single element that most people have in common, thus splitting into the various aspects that they are most attracted to. (In the real timeline, this element is the fact that blueberry inflation was the trigger for a lot of people.) The community of a timeline such as this might still have a website, but it would likely be split into subforums for each of the subcategories of inflation: enema, transformation, stuffing, expansion, pregnancy, suits, etc. Another possibility with this hypothetical timeline would be for most of the community to go to the most closely related sites to their primary interests. For example, someone that likes enema inflation in this universe might go to a medfet or BDSM site to discuss enema inflation with likeminded people, rather than just going to a general inflation forum.
Many people might not even have become interested in inflation due to the lack of the blueberry scene, which would make the community much smaller.

Would be great to hear everyone else's opinions on this topic!

1. No it wouldn't.

2. It would be the same regardless.

3. Doubtful.

4. The community size/sites wouldn't be bothered.

5. Again,doubtful.

If the Violet scene had not been created, then another scene would simply takes its place. It wouldn't change anything in the community in any real way besides just lacking that scene and a few horrible artists commissions.

Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men.

Honestly, Blue_Eyes hit the nail on the head.

As usual.

I agree very much with blue-eyes. To give further thoughts behind her answers:

Most of your assumptions can be tackled by simply saying that there are plenty of people who got into inflation for other reasons and even if a significant number did start off with Violet it doesn't follow that everything about the fetish can be traced back to that one scene. As people's fetishes develop they take on lots of other influences besides the thing that planted the seed. If your logic was correct then all inflation fetishism would be blueberry, rolling would be vital, no other type, no air, no floating, no popping.

1) Although I disagree that there being no Violet scene would change or even remove inflation as a fetish, if that were true it would just mean no inflation fetish, I don't see why people would develop an enema fetish as a closest alternative. You may say that enema fetishists getting off on bloating would be the clost thing to an inflation fetish but it's not really that similar at all.

2) Even if it did mean that a lot of people who were 'seeded' by Violet end up getting 'seeded' by something else there is no reason to assume it would be a different scene in the same film.

3) I think there would be plenty of crossover stuff with TF regardless, a lot of that isn't even fruit, though you're probably right that it is unlikely blueberry would exist as a fetish without that film, unlike air or water inflation, it just seems too specific to have come into existence of its own accord. I doubt it the community here would be much smaller as a result.

4) Again it's this idea of Violet as some unifying thing I don't understand. Why on earth would you think that people who are into real-life enema inflation and people who are into suit inflation are unified by blueberry inflation. If we're looking at the inflation community as having sub-groups then blueberry is just one of these, not some kind of umbrella.

5) I think the number of people who wouldn't have an inflation fetish if that scene didn't exist is pretty small.

Yeah, that's a good point. I forgot about all the other scenes when thinking about it.

Like Blue_Eyes said, if there weren't any scene with Violet, any other scene from any other movie would've sparked our interest in this fetish.

Tbh, I don't know about that whole 'Another scene will take its place' female wise. There are no other notable female inflation scenes in media that are emulated into art these days. Not every inflationists is enticed by male inflationists, like myself, despite how many famous scenes it may have.

I saw Violet at a young age of 10, and i thought she was cute. It made the fetish a lot more pleasurable for me. The blueberry scene perked my interest inflation, while the All That fire hose scene sealed it in. Both are well, not ugly like Aunt Marge. The imagery is just ruined with Aunt Marge for me. The dialogue is also classic in both the Randy Quench and the Blueberry scene "She's blow up like a balloon! Like a blueberry" "I can't believe you inflated me to the point of explosion!" (Also the Randy Quench scene has a hose, muffled voice, and starting breast expansion along with s funny set up. This scene is so damn underrated by the community it hurts). Marge had button popping, I guess.Had it been like, Hermione or something it would have been possibly the greatest of all time. Essentially, male inflation did not heighten my interest to join the community, does nothing for me. I saw Pigs be Pigs and that commercial where they inflate that guy on the bench, heck all the looney tunes ones... nothing exciting me there.

A good female inflation scene though? Until the two I mentioned before, did not exist.

So personally, depending on if other inflation lovers work like me or not (Need a cute femsle in a quality inflation scene) , the community would be smaller than it is not for quite a while.

I don't think it's always that simple. I never saw Charlie and the chocolate factory when I was little. I did read the book but didn't find anything particularly alluring in Violet, I just loved Roald Dahl's books.

The inflation things that I remember were often things which wouldn't appeal to me now, male inflation, weight gain, furries or just descriptions that are totally unappealing, or things just like explosions and inflating in general not even of people. I have no idea what was the first, or whether it took one single moment to plant the seed as opposed to a gradual realisation I liked that stuff.

As I hit puberty the fascination turned into a fetish and became focussed on women.

Honor to get a reply from you, fantastic artist.

Tbh, as much as i enjoy reading and Roald Dahl books, books don't have the same impact on the inflation community. Fun to read, but they usually don't spark a new fetish since the imagery is in your imagination. You don't know what it exactly looks and sounds like until it's brought to the big screen. (I don't recall Violet's inflation in the book any longer than a few lines, either while the movie had a longer scene and stimulating lines + more visual accompanyment (belt popping, belly poking, arm waving).

Even with Aunt Marge, no one really noticed it until it hit the big screen.

Just like no one will notice how Winter apparently bloated up in the book Levin Thump after eating a filler cracker...(I wonder how good that was, could never find the book just heard about it online. If that book turned into a movie, imagine seeing that on screen!)

Violet isn't even the reason I have this fetish, cartoons are. The whoe blueberry thing isn't even really MY thing. It's just another sub genre in this bloated fetish full of tons of methods. Getting rid of one thing would do literally nothing but loose some art and a few movies. Most of the people who are into it would probabl have grown into something similar anyways. In others words...

Yeah what Blue_Eyes said :T

Well, it's been fun

to me it would have change nothing, this scene is not interesting me at all. i discover this fetish very young by blowing a balloon under my shirt . i prefer active forced air inflation.

We'd probably be referring to Roger Rabbit or other cartoon characters as influences instead of Violet.

There would be less focus on changing color which as stated above, is really a whole separate thing.

I had hoped and pitched to TaylorMadeClips that they use the blue suit in a clip that doesn't actually involve the skin coloring. Just use it for an expansion clip as that suit gets to the biggest size.

Subsections of the inflation community would no longer point toward a scene involving a non-consenting underage minor as the either their personal discovery point or as the ur-example of their sexual paraphilia being clandestinely mainstream. That would be nice.

It really is unfortunate that this is the case. Hopefully Violet being played by an adult in The Broadway musical brunts that just a little bit...

Just to chime in, I would have my fetish regardless whether the scene was created or not. Reason being that I have a strong imagination. If violet wasn't there I would've still imagined inflation. The only thing that would've changed is the whole "blueberry" thing. Growing up in school I always imagined blowing people up to their utmost elasticity until they explode. Lol kind of got excited there. Back on topic, either way I believe I would still be a body inflation addict.

Where would the community be without Violet? Probably about where it is now, with slightly less content and slightly fewer members. At least that's how it would go in this particular corner of the community. We'd lose the Blueberry category under Inflation Types. That erases about 5% of the pictures and stories. Significant, but not huge.

Violet gets a disproportionate amount of attention in the community because it's the most famous of the inflation scenes. But famous doesn't necessarily mean influential. While many people have fond memories of Violet, she probably wasn't the first encounter with inflation for most, certainly wasn't the last, and probably wasn't the most influential. Despite being an early exposure to inflation for many, blueberrification is almost nonexistent when you look at the works from the early days of the community.

It would have less members and blueberry inflation would have to come in through other means, if it were to come in

I might be a bit chubby now, but, ya see that hose over there?

You know what to do with it~
