Republicans have a Nazi porn problem, again. Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee John Reid is facing mounting political pressure after a report tied him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The allegations, which Reid has denied, have fueled fresh calls for his withdrawal from the race.

    Yup. He’s got a right to do that. Doesn’t make him a great candidate, though.

        i don’t want my candidates supporting nazis in any way shape or form engaging in deviant sexual fantasies

        FTFY

        Do other deviant sexual fantasies imply support of the fantasized subject? eg

        • restraints imply support of illegal detention & coercion?
        • rape-fantasy imply support of real rape?

          i spent many years as a dom to my now late wife. no, binding and such do not mean I support real rape.

          but it did normalize it to her. because she was a victim of it in her earlier days.

          and consenting to a fantasy allowed her control of it.

          NONE OF THAT is the same as normalizing nazis. sheesh. would you be ok if someone wanted to age play in a manner illegal otherwise?

          you’re just baiting.

            Nope, it’s logically the same thing & and you’re doing some weird mental gymnastics pretending it’s not. It’s the basic formula of taboo + kink: not hard to understand.

          what are you talking about? I’m all for anything that makes anyone happy. and unless the fantasy is about doing things to the nazis, that I won’t type online, the fantasy must be other wise supporting them.

          any candidate that supports nazis and their culture normalizes them. normalizing nazis is never a good thing.

          you make it seem like “if it’s a fantasy it’s ok.”

          a very slippery and childish slope.

            It is fantasy which isn’t support. You’re conflating.

            People fantasize & act out fantasies of being abducted & raped with consenting partners: doesn’t mean they support actual rape. Some guys imagine & act out being subjected to oppressive sexual situations & others get a rush indulging their fantasies: doesn’t mean they support oppression, either.

            Work on your cognitive dissonance.

            A slippery slope is to argue pretense & fantasy inevitably lead to non-fantasy (such as real endorsement): a fallacy you commit.

              normalization of genocide (something nazis do) is not something I’ll vote for. there is no conflation here.

                By your logic, then, you’re voting for normalizing rape, oppressive force, & slavery?

                Maybe work on your logic: you’re conflating.

                Your argument basically amounts to

                1. Doing wrong is wrong.
                2. So, pretending to do wrong (for stimulation & excitement between consenting partners & for likeminded enthusiasts) is wrong.

                That’s a shit argument.

        Me either. He’s not my candidate, since I don’t live in VA, but if I did, he would not have my vote.

        He still has the right to share Nazi porn.

          You mean consensual non consent? That shit freaks me out a little bit, but it doesn’t seem to bleed out into most people’s lives. Most of the participants aren’t rapists. I’m willing to bet every dollar that I have that people that are on Tumblr using white supremacist and nazi terms, fetishizing the ideologies, sure as hell have some measure of belief in them. There’s even a political compass for fetishes (yes, I know that the political compass is pretty useless, but it kind of lets us know about where the average participant leans). Raceplay, was the most authoritarian right-wing result.

            Speaking of race play. Lol who do you think is watching all that interracial pron? Perhaps people who slip in the n word? What are your thoughts on anime porn?
