If you find any errors, contact me and I'd be happy to correct.
恋足 (foot fetish / liànzú) is a pronounced sexual interest in feet.
Why it is blocked: Sexually “perverse” words and acts are sensitive (just take a look at the words tagged under “sex” in this sample). However, Weibo seems to have realized that they were being overly cautious, and a number of these words, including foot fetish, are no longer blocked. [Status - 11/26/11: blocked; 2/5/12: unblocked]
