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.

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?

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.

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
