Hmm. You can festishize anything. You can definitely fetishize people who are blonde. It doesn't have to be an unusual kink for it to be a fetish. It just has to be an obsession, and it could be an obsession with anything. I agree that it's a word people don't often use in that way, though. We often use it as a tool for exaggeration, in the same way that we use the word "obsession" to refer to a passing interest.
It isn't worth hating over though. All you have to do is enter a conversation armed with the knowledge that sometimes people exaggerate and it's easy to work out what other people mean.
IIN I hate it when so many idiots misuse the word "Fetish"?
